BANNER YEAR FOR
BOYS AND GIRLS AT
FAIRS IN GENERAL
Exhibits of Boys and Girls to Be
Made Feature of All Fairs. To Ac-
complish Beneficial Results. Club
Movement Fast Coming to Front.

This is to be recorded as the ban
ner year for boys and girls at the
state and county fairs. The young
sters have been encouraged by the
promoters Of the expositions to make
club and individual exhibits and
these have already captured many
prizes At the New York State Fair
at Syracuse two entire exposition
buildings were occupied by the boys
and girls with their exhibits. One
building was devoted to the junior
extension work and the other to
school exhibits. The Rochester Ex-
position also featured the junior
work notably the stock Judging con-
test for boys and girls.
Reports from other states tell Of
the encouraging achievements Of the
boys and girls at the agricultural
fairs 1t is more than likely that
next year the exhibits of boys and
girls clubs will be made feature
Of practically every state and county
fair in the United States. The cOun-
try schools, the country newspapers
and the extension departments Of
the agricultural colleges are behind
the club movement and there is no
doubt of its beneficial results. This
fall and winter will witness the or
ganization of thousands of corn, calf
and canning clubs, pig, potato and
poultry cubs, in the rural schools
and the youngsters will begin the
work for next years achievements.

FEAR FOR NEGRO'S
SAFETY RELIEVED
WHEN LOCATED
Disappeared From Home Four Miles
East of Brandon. Had Gone to Ar
cola, Where He Was Located BY
Friends. Had Some Difficulty.

Jim Gladney, a respected negro
living on his farm about four miles
east of Brandon, disappeared one
night the early part of last week
and grave fears were entertained
for his safety by both white and
colored friends of the county.
A number Of the white people OF
Brandon instituted search for him
on Sunday but were unable to get
a clue of his whereabouts until late
in the day when telegram from
Arcola, Miss, was received stating
that he was safe with friends there.
1t seems that Jim had had some
difficulty with some white man or
men, and had been advised by his
colored friends to leave the county
for few days.
1t was quite relief to his many
friends to have him return to his
home on Monday, where it is ex-
pected he will stay, as he has been
assured his safety by the white
people of this section.

TO DEMONSTRATE
TERRACING; PLAN
ORCHARD WORK
County Agent Simmons Proposes to
Give Demonstrations in Terracing
Hillside Fields. Teachers Asked
to Cooperate in Important Work.

At the recent meeting of the
County Teachers Association County
Agent Simmons made talk before
the body of teachers outlining his
plans for the fall and winter months,
and through the assistance of the
teachers and people of the cOmmuni-
ties he plans to carry out some eff
fective demonstrations.
During the months of November
and December demonstrations in
terracing hillside fields will be car
ried to the different schools. The
teachers, larger boys and the men
of the immediate community will
meet at selected place and have a
days work Terrace lines will be
laid off, few terraces will be
plowed and dragged and instructions
given as to the use of the land
level, construction of terrace drag
and other information as to the
proper preservation of the hillside
lands.
Any teacher who wants this work
put on should write Mr.. Simmons,
adult farmers who are interested in
this kind of work. If these demon
Strations prove successful, it is being
planned to carry out some orchard
work along the same lines as shown
above.
AS we travel over Rankin county
we see vast fields that have washed
from year to year, and are fast be-
coming non productive as these great
gullies deepen and the rain water
goes rushing down the hill side, TO
stop this loss and carry the water
gently around Il circled line built up
is the big problem of our farmers
and to this end our county agent
hopes TO assist as many as possible
this fall and winter.
Every teacher and farmer should
get behind this movement and com
municate with Mr.. Simmons at once
and arrange for this demonstration.

DELIVERS 2 CAR
LOADS OF SYRUP
CANS IN COUNTY
Farmers Realize Saving in Co-op-
erative Buying. Containers for
Entire Cane Crop of County. De-
mand Made for Surplus Syrup.

The farmers of this county have
found that the method of co-Opera-
tive buying means such saving
for them that they use it in many
ways.
During the past two weeks they
have delivered to all sections of the
county two car loads of syrup con-
tainers, enough to take care OF the
entire crop of the county. One car
being distributed from Brandon and
one from Pelahatchie.
The cane crop is not as large as
the 1922 crop, but the demand is
already being made and the opinion
prevails that all surplus syrup will
be disposed of without difficulty,
and at a fairly good price.

26 BALES COTTON
GINNED AGAINST
498 LAST YEAR
Cotton Being Brought in Very Slow.
26 Bales Ginned This Year, 49S
Bales for Same Period Last Year.
Only 3 of 26 Sold Here.

Cotton is coming in rather slow.
Up to last Saturday night, Sep
tember Goth only 26 bales of cotton
had been ginned at Townsend's Gin
in Pelahatchie. On the same day
of last year, Mr.. Townsend states
that he had ginned 49S bales.
OF the 26 bales that have been
ginned this year, only 3 have been
sold, the other 23 being taken back
to the various farms, to await an
advance in price, sufficient to at
least cover the cost of production.
About 900 bales Of cotton were
ginned at this gin last year, and
the owner thinks that he will be
lucky If he gets 225 bales this year.
In some sections of Rankin Coun-
ty the cotton crop is much better
than in others.
