MACK" is STILL
AT HIS POST
Stones Representative Says
Much Cussing Is Not
Justified

Capitol Building, jackson,
Miss, March 13.-We are here
and ON the job although we are
making slow headWay, it seems.
The sixth Investigating COM
mittee was appointed this morn
ing, Walker, chairman, Oktib-
beha county, Clark of SunAow-
er, Russell Of Copiah, Moreland
of Alcorn and Ward of Wayne.
This committee is to investigate
the insurance commissioners
office.
There is no telling when we
will get through up here. We
have been cussed and discussed
by more people than any bunch
that ever assembled at the capt.
tol of this state or perhaps any
other state, some of which was
no doubt justified, or in order,
but must say that we, as a body,
have been misrepresented by
some-at least some Of the
papers over the state have not
given us a square deal. 1t is
strange but some people who
must talk don't care what they
say and when they get through
they haven't said anything
worth while
l can't tell what may be done
but I want my people to know
that ] am still here and expect
to be until the end comes-let
it be when it may. l don't in
tend to desert my post. I have
one vote and expect to cast it
for the best as | see it.
AS ever, j. M. Alexander.

Letter To the Editor.
Dear Editor:

Dear EQ1COr.
The farmers in the Wiggins
territory seem to be little slow
and backward about signing up
the cucumber acreage.
+. There was allotted to Semi
nary 800 acres of cucumbers and
300 acres to Collins. The farm
ers have been growing cucum-
bers for us for the past five
years and we cannot see why the
farmers in Stone County can't
make money out of cucumbers
as we'll as at Collins, Seminary
and other points. Seminary is
insisting that their allotment of
acreage be raised to 400 acres.
The contract books will be
closed within three weeks and
as the factory means much to
both the farmers and commun-
ity we hope they will take up the
acreage promptly.
Sincerely,
L. L. COLEMAN,
Manager Acreage Department,
American Pickle & Can Co..

FOUR SPECIALISTS
TO HELP TRUCKERS
In Grading, Packing and Stand
ardizing Crops, Says Clemson
College Announcement

Clemson College, April 31.-Four
experienced spec lists in the grading,
packing, and standardizing of truck
crops are to be appointed in the near
future by the extension service to
help the farmers in the new, trucking
sections in getting their truck crops
ready to put on the market in ac-
condition.
The extension service realizes that
farmers in certain parts OF the state
have gone into trucking this year as
their first experience, that those far
mers are not familiar with the re-
ouirements and methods of grading,
packing and shipping truck crops;
and that there is consequently much
danger of great loss to such farmers
unless guidance and assistance are
given at the right time. Director
Long feels, therefore, that the great
est service to be rendered those new
truck growers lies in helping them to
prepare in an acceptable manner for
market the produce which they are
now growing.
Two of the specialists, who will be
engaged for the truck crop season.
will be located at Florence and the
other two at Aiken conveniently to
the needs of the sections where many
farmers are growing new crops. Inc
men will be secured from the older
trucking sections of South Carolina
if possible. If not, representative
of the extension service will go 70
Florida to secure men who have had
large practical experience in work
of this kind. 1t is hoped to have
them on duty early in May.

The regular spring examination for
teachers will be held at the Office of
the county superintendent of educa-
ton On the 18th and 18th Of this
month for primary and elementary
certificates. The applicants will be
given two days on this examination
and no high school applicants will be
examined. 1t seems to be the pur-
pose to require high school teachers
to be college graduates though an ex-
animation is to be held for those who
desire to teach high school and have
no college diploma, but this examina-
ton does not include high school.
