4 TRIP TO A. 8 N. COLLEGE.
REFLECTIONS ON the TRIP 10 4. &M BY
c. c. ROBERTS Of DIXON


this trip was made by $50 Neshoba
County citizens, but It often occurs
that an old story is sometimes very
proudly remembered. It is also re-
membered by the reader, that this
crew of citizens made the trip Aug.
18th to the State Institute. It's useless
to state that we were very royalty
entertained by the boys who were
taking the summer course and teach.
ers.
At least 20 cars assembled at Phila-
delphia at an early hour on the 18th
and proceeded to move rapidly to-
wards Starkville via Louisville.
These cars came from every nook and
corner OF the county. / regard this
trip as an important and pleasant
one to every member OF the party.
1t offered every man an opportunity
to learn something by observation,
If he would only open his eyes and
look.
We have only three ways to I'M
prove and grow into big manhood
and womanhood, namely; studying
useful books, asking questions and
observing. OF course, everybody
could not attend the Institute, but
let us all go somewhere, sometime,
to see what the other fellow is max
ing out OF life.
Recreation is Just as necessary in
this life as work, and the fellow who
''sticks close home," evidently is a
foe to himself, and fails to get much
from observation.
Narrow mindedness, prejudice and
selfishness, often are found creeping
out from the life that moves small
circle.
To view the college, and farm of
some 800 acres, is well worth making
the trip for. Many useful men in
Mississippi and other states, made
their beginning at this great school.
In spite q ~s.n the pleasure Of this
trip, l must confess that 1 reached
home a little blue and discouraged
over our highways or rather the
place where they should be. 1t seems
that Neshoba County is bringing up
the rear in road building In Missis-
sippi. Just think OF 80 counties and
every one ahead of us in roads. We
must wake up and get a business
move on ourselves, or take a back
seat. With the exception OF just a
lew miles, our roads are q reflection
the public pride of Neshoba County.
After reaching Winston County, just
north OF Stallo, we had nice dirt
road to Starkville via Louisville.
Returning, we Travelled east, south
and southwest over so miles OF ideal
rock road, passing Mayhem, Craw-
ford, Brooksville, Artesia and Ma
con. Six miles west OF Macon the
rock. road stopped, but the good road
did not really and until we reached a
point 1--WE miles west of Philadelphia.
We also passed thru old Mashulaville
of Noxubee County and Fearn
Springs of Winston County, touching
q short link of Kemper, and entering
Neshoba near the northeast corner.
To my surprise. Hound the old North
Bend road leading to Philadelphia in

largely overlooked. Where such sum-
mer crops as cotton and corn have
been planted, these winter crops may
follow without the use OF much fer
tilizer. Then such plant food as re-
mains In the soil can he accumulated
In the plant tissue OF the winter
growing crops and not he lost as
where the land is allowed to lie idle
during the winter months and the
valuable plant food is washed away
or lost by teaching.
He believes also that better yields
will be secured where some of these
crops are plowed under In the spring
and the land planted to the summer
growing crop. Fall-sown crops gen.
orally dc better, however, when the
land has been well prepared, fertilized
literally and good seed OF known
quality is used.
In case of grains Mr.. Harper advo-
Gates the use OF the grain drill. which
puts out the fertilizer and seed at one
operation. Seed sown In the drill In
this manner will give bigger returns
than when sown by the old method
of broadcasting and blowing or har-
rowing under. Clovers need lime
and fertilizer to give best returns.
Grain needs liberal quantities OF fer
tilizer at planting SO as to give big
ger yields, heavier, plumper kernels,
stronger straw, and to make desira-
BILE growth before extremely cold
weather. The North Carolina expert
ment station recommends about 800
pounds per acre OF good fertilizer
at planting time. Such treatment al
so prevents winter-killing.
COOPERATION HELPS
Cotton chasing was conducted CO.
operatively by the Federal Bureau
of Markets and Crop Estimates with
the state extension service and local
associations of cotton growers In S5
communities during the past fiscal
year, A total Of $50 600 bales OF cot
ton was classed, and approximately
so, 900 bales were sold by the produc-
ers collectively at an average saving
OF 4 cents a pound. AS rule the To-
cal associations bore the expense of
local classers and the federal bureau
furnished supervision for the classers
In each case the local ciassers sup
piled information as to methods OF
selling and the factors that influence
grade. It is estimated that the grow
ers received from one-half cent to 8
cents a pound more for their cotton
than they would have received but
for the cooperative service.
GULL YOUR FLOCKS
There Is one thing that keeps down
the egg average of most f1ocks OF
poultry on the farm and increases
the cost OF feed, and 1t is the lack OF
knowing how to Gull your flock. In
many fiocks there are hens that lay
very few eggs, All such hens should
be weeded out. You will be surprised
at the results after carefully culling
your flock and the proper feeding
and housing OF your hens thru the
winter.
Produce winter eggs. They bring
the best prices.

A Denver man had occasion to WIS.,

weeks longer than his original inten-
ton, and, In writing to his wife Of
his experience, he said:

CHICAGO, April 4.--Rsins in the West
and the Southwest had bearish influ-
ence on the wheat market to-day, but
the effect was nearly counterbalanced
by liberal export business. The market
closed unsettled with NC. net decline
to a like advance. with May Mt S1.3s
TO s138A and July at s1.15. Corn fin
ished unchanged to Sc. higher and oats
gained &c. to igc. Ia provisions the
outcome was "a setback OF 21c. to 70c.
At first a majority Of wheat traders
were apparently inclined to the belief
In a rising market on the ground that
al known bearish factors had been dis
counted and that lily was due. Then
came word OF rainy weather In Nebraska
and Kansas and predictions of moisture
throughout the greater part Of the win
ter wheat belt. Inasmuch as crop pros
rccts thus were improved materially
an increase Of selling pressure soon be-
came apparent, especially In The July
delivery. Afterrard. however, Il wac
estimated that 100000 bushels or
wheat. 100000 Of rye and 10000 barrels
Of flour had been taken for export Rat
