A Sound Invest
ment For Farmers

We hear a good deal these days
about ways in which farmers can in
vest money in fertilizers, farm ma
chinery, thoroughbred stock and the
like so as to get a better return on
their investment in land and labor.
With this movement all who are in
terested in farm life are in agreement.
More power and success to it! Speak
ing of investments, this is good time
for farmers to check up on the invest
ment they are making in their school.
Boys and girls need better school
home than the cattle and hogs; they
need good tools, good blackboards'
plenty Of books, shop and nOon-lunch
equipment, and other things to work
with. Most of all they need a good
teacher-one who has a good educa-
tion as a foundation and special
training for teaching added to that.
They need a school term nine months
in length, too, and a teacher who has
maturity and experience and native
ability as well as education.
A good school Investment pays
high return. Now is the time to con-
slider this for next years school. Es-
innate the returns in terms Of better
and happier boys and girls on the
farms!

clear to the parents of the young men
who are taking a months training, un-

The travel to and from that camp is

Are Farmers
Taken In?"

A prominent member Of farm or
ganization in a northwestern State
writing to the United States Bureau Of
Education, Department Of the Inter-
ior, Washington, D. c., asking for In
formation about the consolidation OF
rural schools, makes this comment:
"Our farmers think the courses OF
study are for city folks and made by
educators of the city. Some OF our
rural districts have consolidated with
the small town and the larger town,
and too often these farmers find that
the policy of the school is entirely in
the hands Of people who do not un-
derstand, nor are they in sympathy
with rural people. To me consolidation
means joining or marrying, but too
often consolidation is taking in.'"
There should never be suspicion
that anybody is being "taken in"
There should be a pre-consolidation
agreement safeguarding the rights Of
the country districts when they con-
sent to consolidate with the village
district. Surely the farmer is within
his rights when he will not accept a
course Of study calculated to educate
his children away from the farm" He
should not be forced to accept the ser
vices of teacher who is entirely out
Of sympathy with farm life.

Extension Teaching
Starts Thriving
Basket Business

Sales amounting to more than $4,-
900 for baskets made of hOneysuckle,
pine needles, and other local mater
ials were made last year in Mississip-
pi by enterprising members of home
demonstration clubs and those to
whom they taught the art of basketry.
Of this sum $1,000 was made entirely
by Brookhaven women, in Lincoln
County. Mrs. R. D. Ripley, who is the
local leader in this work, has been
particularly active in demonstrating
basket work all over the county.
Working with the county home DEM
onstratiOn agent, she has organized
five rural basket clubs, ranging from
12-year-old girls to mothers.
The children's club made about SIS
after doing basketry work only one
month. A girl of 18, confined to a
wheel chair all her life, proved an
apt student and soon developed many
original and beautiful designs. Since
last fall she has made about $50 worth
of baskets. She dyes her own raffia for
use with the pine needles, as do all the
expert basket makers, in order to have
the exact shade desired.
Through the county home demon
stration agent the clubs were put in
touch with the State market specialist,
who is assistant to the State home
demonstration agent, and is employed
comparatively by the Mississippi A.
& M. College and the United States
Department Of Agriculture. She told
the women how to increase the de-
mand for their baskets, and in partic-
ular suggested that they make a spec
tally designed basket to fit the stand
ard pack of preserved figs put up by
the clubs members. After the pre-
serves have been removed, the jar
with its four-handled basket container
can be used for overs. There are near
ly always waiting orders for these
vase baskets. Women who need a lit
tie extra money but can not leave
home to make it have been very much
interested in basket work.
