top heavy scores of 13 to 3 and
ID to l. G. Jones and C. Jones
We're the opposing hurlers in the
first game with the Brandon
Jones having much the better ar
gument. Boteler for Brandon al
lowed only 3 hits in the second
game. Brandon secured revenge
for their Saturday defeat by
Rhodes and hit him hard in this
contest. In the first game Robin
son secured two triples with
bases loaded on both occasions.
The fielding of the Brandon team
was splendid in both games,
Mayors on second and Jones in
center coming in for more than
their share of praise. Only one
error was chalked up by Brandon
in the second game, a low throw
which permitted the only score off

TEAMS IN CONTESTS
Star 10-Brand0n z.

Brandon threw away Thursdays
game to Star after having it ap-
parently sewed up by the most
careless fielding ever seen on the
local diamond. With the score
z to 3 in favor of the locals, men
on second and first and two
strikes on the batter, 3 successive
errors ON the easiest kind of
chances permitted the visitors to
tie the game up. Star won out in
the 18th inning on more errors
and careless fielding. Culley
pitched a splendid game for
Brandon and should have won
easily with any kind of decent
support. He struck out IA men.
Brandon had the winning run on
base in the 9th, 10th and 11th
innings but could not drive in
the needed score. Cooper was re-
lieved On the mound by Butler in
the 8th, whose slow curve baffled
the locals, they getting only two
hits off his delivery in the 5 in
nings he worked. He gets credit
for the victory. Star presented a
nice. clean bunch of ball players
and although they were extremely
lucky to win TOO much credit can
not be given them for their game
and lucky finish. The score:
Star ----------10-10-5
Brandon ---------- 7-12-12
Batteries: Star. Cooper, Butler
and Murray.
Brandon, Cullev and Cooper.

CITRUS CANKER, MOST
SERIOUS FRUIT DISEASE
FOUND IN GEORGE co.

A. & M. College, Miss, July s.
AS result of an extensive scout
ing campaign in South Mississippi
conducted by the United States
Bureau of Plant Industry and che
Safe Plant Board, in which thou
sands of properties containing
citrus trees were inspected, an
Infection OF citrus canker, the
worst disease OF orange, grape
fruit, and othe citrus trees, has
been discovered in George County,
II miles south Of Lucedale. The
diseased trees, consisting of Z
orange and 3 lemon trees, were
Immediately burned and the oil
thoroughly disinfected.
This is the largest infection that
has been discovered in the State
for several years, as the only
other case occurring during the
last three years was IN September,
1921, when a single canker-infect-
ed grapefruit tree was found IL
miles north of Ocean Springs, in
Jackson County.
The recent scouting campaign
was more extensive and thorough
thar any since 1918 and 1916 when
citrus canker was raging in all the
coast counties and threatening the
complete destruction of the citrus
industry in Mississippi. Practical
ly all properties containing citrus
trees in Jackson, Harrison, Ham
cock, Pearl River, Stone, George,
Lamar, Forrest, Perry and Green
counties were inspected during
the recent campaign.
Durin gthe last few years, since
the apparent eradication of caink-
", thousands Of acres have been
planted in Satsuma oranges,
grapefruit, and other citrus trees,
and the industry is once more as
Stunning enormous proportions. AS
a protective measure, it is very
necessary that scouting for this
serious disease should be contInu-
ed in order that no isolated in
fsd ion, such as those RECENTLY
found, might be allowed to exist
and spread the disease to the
valuable groves springing up all
along the coast.

COUNTY AGENT POINTS
WAY TO SUCCESSFUL
FARMING IN SUMMER

Now, that there is in sight some
cessation from cultivation OF
field crops, we should have some
definite plans for the farm work
during the, summer. AS rule so
many of our farmers, when they
finish their field crop work In tne
summer, have no plans, or DO
nothing at all for several weeks.
There is always something to be
done on the wide awake farmers
place of business. 1t is the pur-
pose of this article to call atten-
tion to some of the things that
can and should be done outside
of finishing cultivation of the
crop. We have had some splendid
gardens this spring and they
surely have been an asset in keep
ing the living expenses down and
in adding efficiency to the farm
labor in the way of good health.
Are you preparing your fall
garden? We should have an all
year round garden a1d it is now
time to begin planting. If you
have not already gotten the soil
in condition, begin at once and be
sure and have it in as nice shape
as possible. Just plan to have
everything possible in the walv o.
vegetables. Some are so afraid
they won't get g. stand of uAe
plants. they won't even try. You
can, bv havino the soil properly
prepared and fsrtiliZed, surely
succeed in getting a stand on many
things and enough to pay in
big way. Get out the farm papers
and study them, read the govern
ment bulletins on home, gardens
and plan to lay. aside some Of
your time for fall supply of fresh
vegetables and see how many va
rieties are to be grown in our
climat, 1t will also soon be time
TO sae 9fter the pastures and spend
some time in them, getting the
weeds and bushes down so as TO
build that permanent sod so es-
sential to a good grazing pasture.
We are far short in Rankin Counay
as to growing an all round good
pasture, we need to work on this.
And now that a little slack
time is near as to field work in
the crops, are you planning to-
wards any improvement in home
ccnveniences? There are some
beautiful farm homes in this
equity, but, perhaps you can
think of a few things that might
be done 20 tighten the work about
TIL. house. Farm life is not as
attractive to the young people as
it should be, and possibly some
Of this dislike is due to the drudg-
cry connected with so many farms.
Have you ever figured closely Oh
waferworks? That is not a very
costly convenience and can be in
stalled by the farmer himself.
Certainly in these days of heat and
sweat. the value and pleasure of
bho bathtub readily impress them
selves. If YOU are interested in
adding this comfor5 to your home,
your County Agent will be glad
to assist you in any possible way.
There ar: so many thin"s to be
enumerated in this connection it
would make this article too
lengthy TO discuss all of them but
before closing, | want to leave
this though with you: 1t will do
You good to visit some of your
neighbors or acquaintance who
are making 2 success of the very
things you are interested in and
get his plans of doing that thing.

2.627.333.3 GALLONS OF
WHISKEY WITHDRAWN
IN PAST FISCAL YEAR

Reviewing the past fiscal year
Of Commissioner Haynes admin
istration Federal Prohibition
Commissioner, Director M. II
Daily invites public attention to-
the fact that only 2,627, 1888 gai-
Ions of whiskev were withdrawn
as compared with 1896, 1924 gal
Ions the previous year, and 49,
491, ,30392 gallons of alcohol and
other distilled spirits withdrawn
as compared with 24,856, ,388.88
gallons withdrawn the previous
year; that 1,216 cases were re-
ported by general prohibition
agents, taxes amounting to ST.
2,234.2 were recommended, and
fines and penalties amounting to
$2,159, ,410.39 were imposed. Three
aiaa one-half rillion dollars worth
of bonds were placed in suit, or
proceedings begun Reductions
in rentals and disposition of seiz-
ed property in the amount of
S208, ,832.50 were effected, and an
additional saving of $156,9O0
otherwise effected. Under the
narcotic laws 2,195 violations
were exposed, resulting in 1,109
convictions and s64,083 in fines
and penalties.
Numerous changes in reorgani-
aztiCn took place. Enforcement
work have been vested in state
directors and a mobile force of
general agents under eighteen di-
vbsional chiefs directed from
Washington created; special
group was designated to prepare
all criminal informations, indict-
ments, injunctions. libels. and
search warrants, and concentra-
tion OF claim work resulted in
specialized clerks and expedition
of work. One set Of reports and
accounts are now required for
distillery and bonded warehouses
instead of three as heretofore.
With a view of reducing the
lumbef of permits, all applicants
to operate ais wholesale druggists
are doubly checked, and reports
cf state inspectors are verified by
refnspection bv division pharmac-
ists. Manufacturers and whole
sale dealers are required to give
monthly accountability of all
drugs received, manufactured and
sold. Forgery-proof, non-trans-
fsrable permit forms effectually
prevent fraudulent Withdrawals.
Legislation has given the Com
missioner authority to concen-
trate into a smaller number of
warehouses all the distilled spirits
now in distilleries and ware
houses, which will effect a large
saving in money and mitigate
losses from sources other than
withdrawal under perm'+
Am outstanding feature Of the
administration its the measures
being taken to expedite prosecut-
ions. A system has been inaugu-
rated whereby the directors and
divisional chiefs report to the
central office each month all cases
made by agents working under
their supervision, and in turn are
sent to the Department of Justice
for supervision and preparation
| for speedy trial.
Submarine chasers and speedy
motor boats have been added to
the equipment, also an aeroplane
service.
