Cost of Testing Cattle Reduced Under
Area Plan.

As result of the area plan of
tuberculosis eradication, says the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, the cost of testing has been
reduced. The pioneer counties which
undertook the work naturally incur
red greater expense than those which
followed their lead and took advan-
tage of their experiences. But, in
spite of this, records of the depart
ment show that for the Is counties in
various States for which figures are
available the cost of testing was only
"a cents a head Steuben County N.
Y, where $4,000 cattle were tested by
SO veterinarians in 10 days, did the
work at cost of 23.5 cents head.
In Missouri the testing done by Fed
eral veterinarians cost only % cents
head. This included salary, sub
sistence, and travel expenses. In
some counties work has been done at
as low cost as Is cents head.

KIMSEY & COCKS
Will PUT DOWN

The New Concern. Formed in st
Louis, Will Continue the Project
of Putting Down Well.

1t was announced this morning that
the new oil concern, formed in st.
Louis, with Messrs.' Kimsey & Cocks
at the head, will be ready to go ahead
with the drilling of the oil we'll here,
and that very likely the forces will
be organized in time to resume work
Monday, or at any rate. early next
week.
The gentlemen who started the der
rick, it seems has sold out to the new
concern, which is by no means un-
common in wild cat fields. The derrick
is up considerable hight, but was
stopped during the holidays, during
which time the new deal was Matched.
Mr. Pace, it seems had much trouble
in assembling rig, or securing one,
owing to the fact that nearly every
available rig is engaged in proven
territory, and when he thought he had
secured one it developed later that
there was a hitch in securing it which
could not be overcome.
However, it seems now that the
new men will go right to work and
push developments as rapidly as pos
sible.

CARL BLACKWELL.
STILL in JAIL
Refuses To Talk, And 1t Seems That
He Is Not Anxious For A Trial
Letters Found In Young
Ladies' Trunk.

Mr.. Carl Blackwell, charged with
arson, who was placed in the county
jail on Saturday, January Z, is still
in Jail, and from what can be learned
is not particular anxious for trial.
Of course, it is left with Blackwell
when he shall stand trial. He is en-
titled to a trial and the officers state
that they are ready to o.bring him in to
court and try the case just whenever
he gets ready for it.
It is said that several letters were
found in the Miss Mary Wilson'S
trunk, the contents of which are not
made public, but it is said that they
would not do to publish in a news
paper. It is not known, however,
whether the letters were written by
blackwell or not, as they were signed
X. K. K. This is case in which con-
siderable sensation is looked for
when it goes to trial, it is said.

WHO Is BOSS
Of The FIRE
DEP PARTMENT?
This Town Needs A Fire Department
Boss-Who Is He, Where rs He?
Does Anybody Know?

Much has been said of late about
the way the city fire hose have been
allowed to lay out in the rain, just
where they were last used, until they
are needed again.
It seems that the fire department
has no one to look after the upkeep
Of the fire hose. This is very i'm
portant and some one should be held
responsible for the neglect Of the
rity's property.
The matter came up at the last
meeting of the Chamber of Commerce,
when Mr.. Heard was designated to
boss the fire-fghting. He said that
he was not going to have anything
to do with it so long as the hose were
left piled and scattered.
The first thing one has to do when
the alarm for is sounded is to run
around and get the hose together,
and maybe the nozzels are in some
store, or cannot be found; or the
wrenches are out Of place. This
should not be the case. The fire de-
partment should have Boss" He
should be responsible for the upkeep
and care of the fire-fghting apparatus
and keep everything in readiness. He
should take up and wash, fold and put
away the hose after a fire.
Does anybody in Oxford know who
this BOSS" is?
The sane thing to do is for the City
to buy cheap fire truck and keep it
in readiness for all occasions when
needed, either to fight mad dogs, fire,
mud, trash, dust or otherwise.
1t seems to us that someone is neg
lecting very important duty, and one
which may cost the loss of many dol
lars.
Find the boss and put him wise.
The bill creating the Commission
Form Of Government, which has be-
come SO unpopular, should, if it does
not, prescribe the duties of the diff
ferunt commissioners.
1t would not be amiss to refer to
the bill, occasionally. Certainly
somebody is responsible for this i'm
1ortant duty.

! ference Of state, district, city and
conuty health officers of the two states
relative to the smallpox situation in

POTATO INSPECTION
BRINGS RESULTS.
Incidents Show Value of Service ncnd-
cred To Potato Growers.

Agricultural College, Miss, Jan. IA.
The value of the potato inspection
service to the people OF the state is
being constantly emphasized by re-
ports which come into the State Plant
Board Office every few days, accord
ing to statement just made by
Hunter H. Kimball, Chief Inspector
of the Board.
AS marked instance of this kind
it is reported that in a certain COM
munity last spring all the potato
growers except one disinfected their
sted potatoes before bedding. In the
fall when all the otatoes were hauled
to the local storage house only one lot
was found infected with Black Rot.
They belonged to the man who refustd
to disinfect his seed potatoes in the
spring.
Another striking example of the cost
of negligence is that of person liv-
ing near the state line, who, desiring
some potato plants last spring and
not caring to take the precaution of
having them inspected, drove across
the line in his car and purchased his
plants without regard to their source
or the probability of their being di-
seased. In the fall he had Black Rot
and Stem Rot in his field to such an
extent that he did not even attempt
to dig the potatoes.
Growers of certified seed and plants
all over the State are urged to use
every precaution advised by the Board
to prevent the appearance of disease
in their potatoes, not only for their
own benefit and the protection of their
customers, but also in order that their
skeptical neighbors may be pursuaded
to adopt the same methods.

Complain At High Rates.

We hear some complaint from citi-
zens on account of the high water and
light rates in Oxford. The minimum
rate for water is $3.50 per month, and
the minimum rate for lights is $1.50
Six or eight months ago, when coal
was twice as high as it is now, the
people did not kick on the price. But
since slack and nut coal has been re-
duced to SIS cents per ton at the
mines, and war tax removed from
freight rates, it seems that cut on
water and light service is in order.

POULTRY ASSOCIATION
ORGANIZED

show held at Lexington, Miss, at the
passing out of the old year and the
ushering in Of the new, the preli-
minary steps to form permanent
Mississippi Poultry Association or
Federation were taken, p. III. Hayes,
Field Agent and advisor for the Lex
ington Board of Trade, was elected
provisional president and an executive
committee was provided for to COM
|plete organization.
The central purpose behind such a
statewide organization is to endeavor
ito form auxiliary associations, ulti-
mately, in every county in the state,
certainly in every county in which
the farm and home demonstration
service is maintained; to promote a
real statewide mid-winter poultry
show, to be held at Tupelo next ses-
son and take every possible step to
raise the standard of poultry breed
ing in Mississippi through the medium
|of well-buit and active State AS
sociation.
In order to still further perfect
this basic plan, a conference was
held on Friday, December 13, at the
College poultry department to arrange
details Of publicity and financial
plans for insuring a real bonafde
statewide show at Tupelo. Those
present were: President Hayes, G. r
Siper Secretary protein, X. C. Clark OF
Tupelo, Treasurer, Prof. E. P. Clay
ton, Head of the Poultry research
work in Mississippi. Director of Elk.
tension r. S. Wilson was called in
consultation, heard the statements OF
Organization facts by Messrs. Hayes
Sipe and Clark and assured the work,
ers that as far as they can consist.
emily do so, the extension workers
will be instructed to cooperate al
fully and as effectively as possible.
Mr.. Clark, one of the most active
and extensive poultry fnanciers ii
Mississippi, told of the plans which
have been formed by the Tupelo ant
Lee County people to stage a show
that will certainly equal, if not exceed
that held at Lexington. They vii
make arrangements for taking care
of at least 1000 birds, backed by ar
attractive prize list, at no cost to the
| Association, or the exhibitors.
Director Wilson stated that he will
issue instructions to all sextensior
agents, calling their attention to the
time decided on to secure enrolment
of members for the poultry association
on organization, which will be the
four days from February % to 25, and
urging their cooeration in every way
open to them, except the handling Of
funds, which is not within the range
of their duties and obligations, under
the Smith-Lever law and regula-
tions.
The men and women behind this
movement are earnest and full of
hopefulness that the the people
throughout the State will not let this
