Quite a number Of farmers
have been terracing hillsides the
past two weeks. This is a very
necessary work on all the hills of
McNairy county. Our soils have
been allowed to wash too long al
ready. 1t is true that building
terraces is big job, but did you
ever stop to think that hills plus
terraces mans a good, productive
farm, while hills without terraces
mean gullies and barren wastes?
Resolve now that another plant
ing will not find you without ter
races on your hillsides.

Through the cooperative eff
forts of about 100 faithful farm
ers of the county who stuck to
the fertilizer pool, the farmers
of the entire county have been
able to buy fertilizer at very reas-
enable rates. 1872 tons Of fertili-
ger have been ordered through
this pool, which was distributed
as follows: One car at Selmer,
|cne car at Corinth for the Acton
community. two cars at Pitts
burg Ldg., for the StantonvilIe
community, one car at Hornsby
for the Mt. Gilead community,
and one car at Bethel Spaings.
The puultry crop is one Of the
biggest crops produced in the
county Of McNairy. It probably
brings in as much, if not more
profit, than any other crop in the
county. vet 1t has never been
given the attention itshould have
received. Our system Of mark
citing has been the very poorest.
We sit in our door and expect a
peddler to drive out and get our
chickens and eggs every week.
That peddler must be paid for
his time. We sell every day in
the week and expect the produce
man tc crowd the chickens into
small coops where some are sure
to die, and feed them on expen-
|sive feed until he can get enough
fora big shipment. Who pays
all of this unnecessary expensey
1t is certainly charged back to
the farmer who produces it. and
the farmer pays the peddler. the
feed bill and for all the dead
chickens caused by over-crowd-
ing in coops while waiting for
"
the car to load. Why not e inn
mate all extra expense Of mark
citing? Set one or two days in
every month as poultry day, !"
and every farmer who has poul-
try or eggs to sell, bring them
lin that day. The produce man
lean then have his car on the
track, and since he will not have
to re-handle them several times
nor feed them for a week, and
lno dead chickens to throw out,
he can certainly give you q much
better price. During the past
1.-TWO weeks, four cars of chickens
have been handled out Of Maids
on county on this plan. Farmers
were paid cash at the car door
&c to &c more than they could
have gotten otherwise. Under
this plan we have one dealer in
the county who will agree to pay
Memphis quotations for poultry
Let's think 1t over, and see if we
can't give it a trial. The farm.
ers must cooperate to reduce the
cost of marketing products.

public thought and feeling and
placed Phoenix forever in the class
Of metropolitan cities.
But none of these held such a sus-
tanned interest, such a promise of real
results and such fulfillment of the
promise as Mrs. Chase's lectures here
a year ago, when the Shrine audi
torium was filled twice daily with the
womanhood of the city, who found in
her talks and in her personality not
only a definite teaching but a stim-
ulus the effect of which undoubtedly
remained in the lives of many women
since that time.
1t is therefore with confidence that
The Republican invites the women OF
the city again to Mrs. Chase's lectures
this year. They are not excelled in
the United States. and in fact they
are not equaled. Thousands and hun
dreds OF thousands of women have
come to look upon Mrs. Chase as a
personal friend-almost as a conf
dante-and to expect from her visits
a continual succession of benefits
This was the case in Phoenix last
year and in inviting the women of
Phoenix again to Mrs Chase's lee
lures, The Republican feels that It is
accomplishing something real worth
while: something to be proud Of and
something 10 be repeated.

Mrs. Florence Austin Chase at the
Shrine auditorium, starting tomor-
row afternoon at o'clock, will show
you how to have better cooked foods

recognized expert in every branch
pertaining to homemaking, as you
will find out when you prepare your
meals in accordance with her sug-
gestions. You will learn that the
science" of cooking will require less

food will provide more nourishment

all the food values.
Your family will be healthier and
better nourished; your guests will
