AND HIDE
CLUB FORMED

A. & M. College, Miss, June r.
Taking as a common-sense and prac-
ticaf slogan for Mississippi farmers
the declaration, Prosperity follows
in the trail of good livestock" the
former Animal Husbandry Club Of
Mississippi A. & M. College students
has been reincarnated as the "Hair
and Hide Club" which seems to have
a more direct appeal than the original
name, under which they organized
during the present spring.
The membership Of the Hair and
Hide Club is composed of students
who are taking Animal Husbandry
and Dairying, and these, in company
with the Engineering Club, the Hor-
ticultural Club, Music and Science
clubs will cooperate in the prepara-
ton of program for Dads Day."
which will occur November "a and
25, 1922. The Dads Day idea in
general is to bring the College COM
munity each fall the fathers, moth
ers, elder brothers or guardians of
the attending students, and inciden-
tally representatives of the best busi-
ness, Industrial, farming and live
stock activities of the State.
The Hair and Hide Club proposes
at the time designated to arrange
fer a bona fide student livestock dis
Play and demonstration. In addi-
ton to their own home-raised stock,
these students viii use the College
ard experiment station stock in order
to make practical demonstration.
The Hair and Hide Club has had
the active and willing advice and as
sistance of their instructors and lead
ers in perfecting their organiza-
tion plans, including DIR. E. Barnett,
Messrs Donald McCluer, C. j. Goo
dell, p. G. Bedenbaugh, Pref. ]. S.
Moore, F. H. Herzer and others, and
the students have received courage
and inspiration from their advice and
suggestions
The provisional officers are r. D.
Spinks of Kemper County, President;
c. G. Harmon of Forrest County,
Vice-President; and J. Pearce of 4
Arkansas, Treas
urer, and meetings were held each

The Jefferson Davis highway just

COTTON.

"a The long wet season this spring
aused lots of cotton to be planted
ate. This makes it very important
at the cotton should be pushed as
luch as possible. If you did not
ertilize your cotton before planting
would be very wise to give it a side

cost you 75c per acre and it might
increase your yield 200.
