THE FLY SEASON

The fly season is near. Mil
lions of house flies will hatch out
every day and carry diseases, La
denfilth to your food and drink
unless individuals and communi-
ties adopt measures to destroy
and to prevent their breeding.
The time to do this is now, be-
cause a few flies in early spring
will afford aft spring of millions
of flies later
The rate of fly breeding is al
most unthinkable. It has been
shown that descendants of sim
gle fly will reach the enormous to-
tai of 800 pounds in weight in
forty days, provided one half OF
them live and continue breeding
ONE FLY KILLED NOW WILL
PREVENT MILLIONS LATER
Homes, stores, markets, baker
les, restaurants. hotels and all
other food handling places should
be effectively screened. Use traps
and swatters for catching and
killing the early flies.
Flies breed in human filth, in
stable manure, in garbage. and in
all kinds of rotten material af-
fordlng warmth and moisture.
Observe Cleanup" week. See
that all filth and rubbish is re
moved and destroyed on your
premises and in your community

TWO STATES-A COMPARISON

Acre for acre the soil of Miss
issippi far exceeds in fertility that
of Iowa, while as to climate there
is no comparison. And yet "a re-
port just made public by the Uni
ted States governemtn places the
average price of pillow land in To-
wa at 5000 per acre and the aver
age price of pillow land in this
state is $26 per acre.
The latest report we have on
cotton ginned in this state places
the. number of bales at 822. 1000. At
$50 bale, iif it could be sold,
that would represent $49,32O, 000.,
Iowa does not grow a bale of cot
ton, but from her corn, oats, hay,
potatoes, and other crops the in
come of Iowa farmers last year
was one billion dollars from that
source alone. Therefore, match
inc one crop against the other,
the Iowa farmer earned more
than So for every dollar earned
by the Mississippi farmer.
With a climate and soil far bet
ter adpted by nature for cattle
raising, Mississippi's cattle grow
ing is negligible when compared
with that of Iowa, which produces
eleven per cent Of all the cattle
crown in the, United States. The
daries of Iowa annually supply
cOO,0OO,000 gallons of milk. She
has UPWARDS Of 11,000,000 hogs.
1,500,000 sheep and more than
80, 100000 head of poultry. For
every dairy cow in this state, To-
wa can show six: for every Miss
issippi hog, Iowa has five.
Iowa is prominently a state of
diversified agriculture. And her
people are the most prosperous
of any in the land.
Mississippi is rapidly awaken
ing to the advantages to be deriv-.
ed from diversified agriculture,
from cattle growing and hog rails
ing. And we want to make this

if you really are-if all questions
were so easy of answer most OF
the troubles in this world would
speedily vanish.
Let's put our heads together
and reason it out-hoping OF
course that yours is a nice, curly
cuddling sort of head, thus max
ing the contact pleasant as well
as profitable.
Right at the beginning we must
admit that the hen must sit in
order to set.
In other words, the setting hen
assumes sitting posture for the
Main, practical purpose of cever-
the eggs.
And, of course, while theh en- is
sitting she is also setting.
That is, If she sticks to the job,
and thus shows that she is imbu-
ed with a resolute purpose.
Some hens, you know, start off
well, and you are led to believe
that they have a laudable ambi-
ton into the world, but in day
or so they quit setting-or sitting
and leave the eggs to the un-
certain merciesl of an incubator
or some other foster mother.
Reasoning it out along this line
we must reach the conclusion that
the hen who sticks to her job is
setting, whereas, the shallow
frivolous. inconstant hen who
Jumps her job without giving it a
fair trial is merely sitting.
Putting it another way, the hen
who has set purpose really sets
The hen who thinks she wants to
be mother, but lacks the courage
for the long ordeal, merely sits,
This subject is SO interesting
that some day we are going tic
write a whole book about it.

From one end of Mississippi to
the other comes the sad refrain,
"too much taxes" It echoes from
every county, from everv munich
pality. Indeed it is not confined
to our own commonwealth, but
the cry goes up all over the land.
JUST this week we read very
excellent editorial in the New Or
leans Daily States urging the
Constitutional convention now in
session in Louisiana to provide
against further increases taxes.
These facts staring all Of us
in the face. and the further en-
bamassing situation of low mar
ket value for farm products
should admonish our county and
state authorities not to undertake
anv piece of public work this year
shat could possibly be avoided.

OIL AND GAS LEASE
RECEIPTS EARNED BY STATE
WILL PASS ON TO SCHOOLS

State institutions and the Common
school fund soon will be enriched by
nearly $4,000, which will be paid in
to the treasury by Nelson A. Field
commissioner OF public lands. This
approximate, that has been accumulat-
ing for several years from oil and gas
leases on state lands, has been held
in escrow on account of suits that
had been filed, attacking the authority
OF the land commissioner to execute
oil and gas leases. The holding OF
the funds in escrow was recommended
in an opinion furnished by the attor-
ney generals office about two years
ago
The early transfer of the entire
amount to the state treasury has been
announced by Major Fred Muller, as
sistant land commissioner. He said
that this course would be followed up
on authority of a recent opinion by
Attorney General Harry S. Bowman
When the money is RENTED to the
state treasury, it will be apportioned
among the several funds to the Gre
dit OF the institutions that are the
bcneiiciarics of the land grants. Near
~ all OF these funds are sadly in need
Of the credits.
The Attorney generals opinion, in
part, follows:
The moneys in question are those
collected by your office from the leas-
es of state lands for oil and gas pur-
poses, the validity of such leases be-
ing involved in several suits now pend
ing in the supreme court,
at is my understanding that these
lease moneys cover the first years
rental ior such lands and that the
period covered by the rentals has ex-
pired in almost every case.
1T would appear, therefore, as If
the moneys in question have already
been earned, no matter what DISPOSE
ton may be made of the cases pend
ing, nor what holding the court may
make regarding the validity OF the
leases. The ~lessees have already re-
ceived all the advantage from the
leases that they would receive If the
leases should be held valid and could
obtain nothing further by reason of
the holding of the court. whether it
be favorable or adverse TO the validi-
tv thereof"

HOW MUCH UNEMPLOYMENT

New York is concerned about tire
unemployment situation there, and IS
taking count OF stock to determine
the number Of idle people and partic-
ularly the number Of those who be-
long there. And il has found to its
discontinue that OF the 10000 said to
he unemployed in the greater city
about 40 per cent, or 10000 are tran
sients. Many OF these are 'iloaters,'
not real job hunters, but Of the ta
ditional hobo type. ekeing out an ex-
istence by 'p~anhandling" They do
not want work and probably a little
later they will make their way back
from whence they came. 1t has been
found that OF the 5000 eX-seryice men
who il is estimated are now asking
for work in New York about so per
cent are from points other than New
York. Some OF them are known as
"canteen ~boarders,' having acquired
the habit of dependence. Then there
are about 1900 alien seamsn who are
stranded in New York, or profess 10
be. because Of slack shipping business.
Most of them, who have access to ships
bound for their home countries, say
they would rather be idle in New
York than in their own ports.
In short. New York is the victim OF
a reputation OF always caring Tor the
unfortunate. Il is rated as a good
place in which TO loaf. Its charity
orcar -ations are efficient, its m-ans
are abundant and il naturally attracts
INDECENT visitors.
Probably this is true in most OF the
cities, where a large percentage Of the
unemployed will be found TO have
drifted there in the hope OF getting
EASY subsistence. And meanwhile there
is a call for farmhands. Down in
virginia. a short distance from Wash
ington. a farm was recently advertised
for sale because the owner could not
get help 10 pick the fruits and vege-
tables for market, and this condition
is not exceptional. Farmers are not
paying the exceedingly high wages
that prevailed a couple of seasons ago,
for they cannot afford TO do so. but
at the lower rates the men now hud-
died in the cities waiting for big-pav
jobs, or preferring no jobs at all, could
make a good living on the farms. and,
Incidentally. would be much healthier.
Much OF the unemployed is really
a state of mind rather than q result
