cow HAS HELPED TO
SAVE MISSISSIPPI
SALE OF DAIRY PRODUCTS
HAS GROWN FROM $4,000 TO
S1,217,0O0.O0 A YEAR.

One of the striking developments
in Mississippi agriculture, resulting, it
is felt, largely from the efforts Of ag-
ricu1tural extension workers, is the
dairy industry which has become with
in the past 10 years profitable feat
ure OF some 10000 farms in the state.
Previous to 1912, when the dairy eX-
tension work was begun, there was no
commercial dairying in the state with
the exception OF about $4,000 worth
of milk shipped into New Orleans
during the year by nearby farmers.
In 1922 creamery checks for Mis-
sissippi farmers amounted to $1,2l7,-
600, while $650,000 worth of milk was
shipped to city markets. In addition
to the weekly creamery check which
in many cases is paying the operating
expenses of the farm and home, there
is the incalcuable benefit acCruing to
the family through the addition of
milk and milk products to the diet,
and to the farm through the increase
in fertility which livestock brings to
the fields. Many cotton growers are
putting dairy herds on their farms, ac-
cording to reports to the United
States department of agriculture, to
provide an additional source OF in
come, to increase the fertility OF their
fields and to come a step nearer the
goal of Giving at home.

FARMERS FAVOR
SOUND ECONOMICS

There Is Very Little Demand
For Unsound Procedure.

LOUISVILLE, Ky.-P 5 d e mt
Coolidge has been gratified to learn
that there is really very little de-
mand for extreme, unsound and un-
economic procedure" in dealing with
the present agricultural situation, he
informed Robert w. Bingham, chair
man of the executive committee of
the national council of cooperative
marketing associations in the United
States in a letter made public here.
The presidents letter was IN answer
to a telegram sent to the white house
by Mr.. Bingham in which he inform
ed the chief executive he was direct
ed by the committee of which he is
chairman to express to President Cool
idge the gratitude of the cooperative
council for his support of commodity
cooperative marketing in general.
Declaring it seemed to have become
popular III some quarters to assume
that the farmers would not think in
terms of safe and sound economies,
the president said his experience had
been to the contrary, that the farm
ers could be relied on to employ par
ticularly good sense and sound judg-
ment in their consideration OF these
questions"

HARRIS CALLS ON
PRES. COOLIDGE
Invited Executive to Georgia on Next
Armistice Day. Urged Free List
For Calcium Arsenate.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Calling
on President Coolidge today to pay
his respects and discuss legislation
Senator William ]. Harris urged the
president to support the efforts to put
calcium arsenate used to fight the boil
weevil on the free list of the tariff
law. This was the first time the SEN
ator had seen Mr.. Coolidge since he
became president.
Senator Harris stressed the import
ance of the fight on the boil weevll
and its direct relation to the farmers
problem in Georgia. He said many
persons are leaving their farms be-
cause it has been impossible to earn
living. Senator Harris introduced
and urged a bill to put calcium ar
senate on the free list, but it failed in
the last congress.
Senator Harris extended an invita-
ton to the president to deliver on
Armistice day, 1924 the speech OF
dedication of the memorial at Rome,
Ga, to the memory of the American
dead in the war. President Coolidge
thanked the senator for the invitation
and said he hoped to be able to visit
Georgia, but he could not make his
plans so far in advance. The president
assured Senator Harris OF his great
interest in the agricultural situation
and expressed appreciation of the in
formation given.

GEORGIA BUTTER
GAINS $69O,000.00
States Dairy Output Has Grown
From $4,000 to $500, 900 in the
Last Three Years.

ATHENS, Ga.-That the dairy
industry has made rapid strides in the
state during the last year is evident
from reports of officials of the State
College of Agriculture in charge of
this work made public here today.
The report shows that whereas
there were only three creameries in
operation in 1920, there are now 10
producing butter daily and five are
under construction. The yearly out
put now is said to exceed 100000 in
value, as against less than $4,000
two years ago, gain of 100000 in
less than three years.
Equally remarkable is the report of
activities in cheese production, there
being seven factories in operation
now, and two to start manufacture at
an early date according to statements
OF officials. These factories are pro-
ducing more than 100000 pounds of
cheese annually, valued at $65,000.
Georgia cheese is in demand now
throughout the country, the report
sets forth, and is selling at premium
of 2 cents pound over Wisconsin

MONEY FIRES BROUGHT.

One of the largest and most amaz-
ing incendiary organizations ever
known in England has been broken
up after six months by Scotland Yard,
which has secured the conviction of
the three chief associates.
Joseph Engelstein, Barnard Stoler-

Used Special Petrol.
Engelstein, leader of the organiza-

using a specially prepared compound
of petrol. For a small fire he would
charge $500 For a large one the fee
would be $4,000.
He posed as a prosperous city man,
living in a large house in a London
suburb. He is reputed to have cheat

Approximately $32000000 has been
loaned by the federal intermediate
credit banks to aid the farmers in
financing the production and market
ing OF this years crop.
Farm loan board officials, in an
nouncing the figures, said they failed
to show that the wheat growers have
taken advantage of the governments
latest credit facilities, although appeals
for financial assistance recently have
come from these areas. OF the total
loans made direct to farmer organlza-
ton only $2,403,S96 has been loaned
on wheat, they said There was no
explanation for this at the farm loan
and Commissioner Cooper declared
that the credit banks had taken care
of all applications for wheat loans.
The boards figures disclosed that
S24000,000 of the total amount ad-
vanced was in the form OF loans di-
rect to cooperative and other farmer
associations. The remainder went to
agricultural credit corporations and to
banks which re-discounted agricultur-
al paper with the credit banks.
Included in the loans to farmer or

eighty-four cars of ripe peppers were
shipped from Jackson to the CONT

In dollars and cents the pepper crop
this year was worth close to $4,000.
Eighty-six cars, or 940 tons, of ripe
peppers at 800 per ton brought in
something like $28,200 The 80 cars
of green pepper, or 800 tons, worth
something like $50 per ton, netted the
growers about 81S1
Dry weather in the late fall and
early summer cut the pepper crop
down considerably All things con-
sidered, this season was not as good
a pepper year as i'll 1922. However,
there was largely increased acreage,
and the total yield was 119 cars as
against Is cars last year, as pointed
out above.
In a few instances growers report
an income of 500 per acre. Some few
farmers are said to have received even
more than that amount. The average
for the county probably runs between
$45 and $50 per acre

ARE URGED TO JOIN
STATE ASSOCIATION
AN EFFORT BEING MADE TO
ENROLL TEACHERS IN Ed
UCATIONAL SOCIETY.

The Georgia Educational Associa-
ton is making a determined and per-
sistent effort to enroll the teachers
and friends of education i'll Georgia as
members of its body. There are 10000
white teachers in Georgia and several
hundred more school officials. Every
one of these should be a member of
this association. A large, strong body
of educators, speaking as a unit
through one organization, can be an
irresistible power for educational prog
ress.
The teachers influence i'll Georgia
has been weak and or no force be-
cause they have spoken as separate
individuals and not as a unit of 10000
teachers. Georgia has the smallest
number of teachers in her education
association of any southern state. Vir-
ginia has 10000 members in her as
ISOLATION; Kentucky over 5000; Ala
bama and Mississippi over 1000 and
Georgia has less than 5000. Yet she
has more teachers than any of these
southern states. She ought to have
the biggest membership and the
strongest body of teachers. This can
be made true if the leaders in educa-
ton in every county OF the state will
rally to the support of the directors
Of the Georgia Education Association.
Would Be of Great Aid
A better and stronger organization
of teachers would greatly aid our pub
lie grammar and high schools in do
ing better work Our state can never
reach the highest point OF efficiency
industriaNy, economically, socially or
morally hntil all of its children are
well educated. In this work teachers
must lead and can only lead when
they speak officially as one strong or
ganized unit.
We therefore give our strongest in
dorsement to the efforts of the Geor-
gia Education Association in enroll
ing all the teachers of our state. We
hope that the county and city super
intendents in this county will imme-
diately begin the campaign to enroll
our teachers. We hope to report in
an early issue that this county has
gone over the top and have one hum
bred per cent membership.

mentals, and to recommend varieties

1t has been known for many years,
says ]. G.. Woodruff, assistant horti-
culturist, that pecan trees add perma-
nent beauty and protection to home
or park. The paintings are so perma-
nent that neither of the next two sue
ceeding generations will see any of
the pecan trees die of old age, that

The pecan tree has the shade OF the
oak, the freshness of the tulip tree,
the grace of the elm and the beauty
of the maple, besides its economic
value.
Very few organized efforts have
been made to establish the pecan tree
as an ornamental Local clubs and So
cieties as we'll as the public schools
have stimulated the movement. These
activities are to be encouraged. The
Jefferson Davis Highway Association
proposes to set pecan trees as mile
posts on the Jefferson Davis highway
from Richmond, Va, to Vicksburg,
Miss. which is about one thousand
miles. This is very timely idea and
should be successful if direct attention
is given to the trees, otherwise it is
probably better if it were not under
taken.

For One Thousand Miles Stately Tree Will Mark Route Named
Honor of President of Confederate States. Will Be Both
Permanent and Ornamental. Best Kind to Plant.

When pecan trees in public places
come into bearing the question OF
when, how and who will harvest the
nuts must be decided. Often strict
regulations must be followed for a
period OF about three weeks, just be-
fore harvest time, to protect the trees.
This is a matter of education, to the
appreciation of things that promote
public beauty, rather than matter OF
law enforcement.
The pecan tree is equally suited to
the back and front yard. In any case
it should be set at least 40 feet from
another shade tree; 20 feet from any
shrub or hedge paintings; and the
grass should not be allowed to grow
within a radius OF five feet from the
trunk OF the pecan tree.
After the proper type OF tree is chos-
en- and set in a suitable place the at
tractiveness and thriftiness OF the tree
is in proportion to the attention Civ
en- it. Cultivation and fertilization are
necessary for the tree to grow rap
idly.
November, December and January
are suitable months for the setting of
pecan trees. As is we'll known, they
are very difficult to set so as to get
any appreciable growth during the
first year, and the sooner they are set
after the leaves fall in the autumn the
better able they will be to grow the
following spring.

namental planting, the fitness of the
tree for the particular place is Of prime
importance, and the production of the
nuts is secondary. Attention should
be given to the selection of varieties
for the different paintings. Seedlings
should be avoided For highway or
avenue paintings an upright tree is de
sired, and such varieties as Moore,
Mobile and Stuart are very good. The
home or yard paintings require
more spreading, but graceful type of
