HEALTH IN THE COUNTY.

1t has been claimed that the ply
sical examinations of country boys
for the selective draft showed them
as whole less qualified than city
boys. While some may doubt. the
correctness of this statement. many
country boys did not show UP well in
these examinations. These defects
are needless. as country life offers
the best chances for physical de-
velopment.
The trouble is that many country
young people are not we'll looked af-
ter. Some are mouth breathers.
Some need slight operations on their
throats. The development OF many
is retarded by poor teeth. The pure
air Of the country can do wonders IL
II has chance. but the parents and
schools OF Brookhaven must do their
share, and see that tehir youngsters
have good modern health care.

MAKING GOOD ON SALES.

A man who bought an automobile
in another state was remarking the
other day on the tremendous differ
ence between the attitude Of the peo-
pie who sold him the car, before and
after the deal was completed Be-
fore that date they were calling on
him about every day, and manifest
ing the keenest concern to please
him. But afterward, they seemed to
have lost interest in him and the car.
The same man was speaking of
burning coal, and how he had had
to learn through his own expert
ments how to avoid waste. He be-
iieved it would pay coal dealers to
make a study of scientific combus-
ton, so they could help their Gus
toners make their fuel go farther
But probably some, he said, would
like to see it burned up as soon as
possible so as to sell more.
People who get out mechanical de-
vices and machines are frequently
Indifferent about how they work af-
ter they are sold. Many of these
contrivances have sold we'll for a
time, and then people have discarded
them, because they did not under
stand how to run them right. The
company that made or sold them
needed to give more service to make
them useful.
1t. has been said of some conscien-
tious people, that they made such
substantial stuff that it took too long
to wear it out. The people who used
it would come back and buy the
same thing each time, but they had
to buy so rarely that it did not make
much business for the producers.
Probably the trouble was that they
lacked advertising ability. If they
had gotten out this conscientious
product, and then advertised 1t
right, they would have gained for<
tune. 1t pays abundantly to make
a product last as long as possible,
and show the user how to handle it.

oNE-CRoP COUNTIES ARE POOR

The richest sections of the country
are not those that depend on a sin
gle crop, such as wheat or cotton.
Specialized crops, such as fruit, to-
bacco, or even potatoes, and the dai-
ry and poultry industries, figure We
ry largely in the counties where ag-
ricultural wealth is highest Census
figures on which these statements
are based, bear out the wisdom of
campaigns to bring out diversified
agriculture, according to Andrew L.
Bostick, statistician of the Liberty
Central Trust Co., of St. Louis, in
an analysis printed in the Globe
Democrat, (St. LOUSY. Says Mr..
Bostick:-
"Of the leading ten counties, sew
en- are in the Pacific States (Califor-
mia and Washington), one is in the
Middle West and two are in the, Fest.
Los Angeles County, Cay, with a to-
tai of nearly S72,000,000, comes
first, and Fresno County, in the same
state, is second. Fruit, of course,
is largely responsible for the enor-
nous agricultural values in these re-
gions.
Third on the list comes Aroostook
County, Me. In value of crops alone
this county ranks second in the Uni
ted States, and by far the greatest
part of the value represents potatoes.
Lancaster County, Pa, the other
Eastern county in the first ten, comes
fifth; tobacco, in addition to hay and
grain crops, is responsible for the
high rank. Dane County, Wis, is
the highest Midle West county on
the list, being tenth. Dairying is
very important; in value of crops
alone this county ranks not tenth,
but twenty-hfth.
THE richest Illinois county is Nc
Lean, the eleventh. The richest one
crop county, and also the richest
county in the cotton belt, proper, is
Bolivar, Miss, in the famous delta
section.
%"It is interesting to note that Of
the fifty leaders scarcely more than
a dozen belong to the cotton belt.
If crops alone we're considered, with
out livestock products, the result
would probably be more favorable to
the South.
"In a number of instances the dai-
ry industry has raised individual
counties to high standing in value of
farm products. st. Lawrence Coun-
ty, N. Y, ranks 108th in value of
crops alone, but in the crop and live
stock products list it stands four
teenth. The poultry and egg indus
try of Sonoma County, near San
Francisco, is the cause of that coun-
ty's rank Of eighth in the final list;
in value Of crops alone 1t stands for
ty-second.
ION the whole, the statistics as
given present rather stong argu-
ment for a diversified agriculture,
with attention to dairying and to
such specialized crops as the land and
climate may permit. Literary Di-
gest.

THE DEVIL.

The Leader editor has found ii
impossible to scan the pages of the
press of Mississippi without finding
some valuable or interesting item of
more or less import or influence for
good.
We accidently picked UP the Sen
atobia Democrat the other day and
discovered thru one of it's country
correspondents, the appended poem.
Prefacing the verses was this:- Il
say let's say more about the terrible
menace that's facing the world-The
Devil. He is not asleep as some seem
to think and as we are all going to
find out when it is too late, fear. -
Following are the lines referred
to-
Men don't believe in a devil now
AS their fathers used to do;
They've forced the door of the broad
est creed
To let his majesty through;
There isn't any print of his cloven
foot
Or fery dart from his bow
To be found in the earth or the air
today,
For the world has voted so.
They say he doesn't so round about
AS roaring lion now,
But whom shall we hold responsible
For the everlasting row
To be heard in home and church and
state
To the earth's remotest bound,
If the devil by unanimous vote
Is nowhere to be found?
Who is it mixing the fatal draught
That palsies heart and brain,
And loads the bier of each passing
year
With ten hundred thousand slain?
Who blights the bloom of the land
today
With the fiery breath of hell,
If the devil isn't and never was?
Won't somebody rise and tell?
Who dogs the steps of the toiling
saint,
And digs the pits for his feet
Who sows the tares in the fields of
time
Wherever God sows His wheat?
The devil was voted not to be,
And of course the thing is true,
Bat who is doing the kind of work
The devil used to do?
Won't somebody step to the front
forthwith,
And make his bow, and show
How the frauds and the crimes of a
single day spring up?
We want to know.
The devil was fairly voted out,
And of course the devils goneA
But simple people want to know
Who carries the business on.

Orchard Notes From
A. & M. Fruit Specialist

Although the time for spraying for
San Jose Scale on fruit trees is prac-
tically over for this season, there is
yet important work to be done.
The borers in the trees, which
cause the gum at the top of the
ground, should be gotten out at once
If they have not already been remov-
ed. This pest does great harm to
peach trees and should. by all means,
be gotten out before the trees make
very much growth in the spring.
This work should have been done
during the fall and winter, but 1t is
not too late, yet The following prac-
tices are good to follow in this work:
Digging out the Borers.-Previous
to worming. the earth should be re-
moved from around the crown of the
tree to a depth of or 5 inches and
all gum and loose dead bark remov-
ed. Use a knift, wire or some 9TH
er suitable instrument and trace out
the burrows made beneath the bark
by the borers. Be careful to not
cut too much Of the live bark from
the tree. Where cuts are to be made,
they should be made lengthwise in
stead of around the tree. After the
worming is done, replace the soil a.
round the tree and mound it up on
the trunk 8 to 10 inches. The
moulding will probably prevent some
of the borers, which may be over
looked, from coming out in the spring
when they are transformed into the
wasp like flies which lay their eggs
on the trunk of the tree for the next
years crop of borers. 1t also for
ces those which come out and lay
their eggs to lay them on the tree
several inches higher than If the soil
is. not mounded. The bark is tough
'er and smoother at this height from
the ground and, when the eggs are
hatched there will be fewer of the
borers to make ~their way into the
tree. In November when the soil Is
leveled down, the borers will be at or
near the ground level where they can
be easily removed. This work re-
quires little time and trouble and
will certainly be great help in pro-
tecting your trees against borers.

Pie for the Pawnbroker and Usurer.

The Ways and Means Committee yesterday
afternoon directed its subcommittee to prepare
plan for payment of the soldier bonus with the
promissory notes Of the Government.
If bill carrying this provision for making
bonus payments to the soldiers to become a
law it would make millionaires Of all the pawn
brokers and usurers of the country.
Soldiers, in the large bulk put to it TO turn the
promissory notes of the Government into cash. would
get scarcely more from the pawnbrokers and usurers
than sixty to seventy cents on the dollar.
The soldier who wants bonus wants cash. not
the'promissory note of the Government.
This scheme of Fordney and the Ways and
Means Committee has more cunning than any other
yet for chseling five thousand millions of dollars
out Of the people. Paying a bonus paying bills
with promissory notes is easy; finding money to
pay the notes is hell.-Editordl.
