TWO ARE HURT IN
FIRE AT Fl. GAINES
SIXTY TONS OF PEANUTS AND
800 BALES OF COTTON LOST
AS WAREHOUSE BURNS.

At Fort Gaines fire that broke out
at 3 o'clock in the morning complete
ly destroyed the McRae warehouse.
George Coleman and Floyd Puck
EFT, with others, were fighting the fire
when the entire solid wall fell, pin
ming Mr.. Coleman and Mr.. Pickett
beneath the debris. Mr.. Pickett work
ed his way out before assistance
reached him, but Mr.. Coleman was
buried for fully 20 minutes under the
debris and water, and had to be cut
out by the fire department. He was
at first thought to be dead when his
body was recovered Doctors state
that his skull is fractured and many
other bones are broken and crushed.
He has fighting chance to recover.
MIR. Pickett was injured about the
head and other parts of his body, but
is not thought dangerously hurt
c. E. Russell, another member OF
the fire department, suffered broken
foot and, ii is feared, internal injuries.
The entire warehouse was destroy
ed with about $50 bales OF cotton, 65
tons Of farmers coop peanuts and
quite lot of corn Many farmers did
not have any insurance at all on their
cotton. w. S. Cole is one of the heav-
lest losers, having Is or more bales.
E. w. Killingsworth, a local cotton
buyer, also had 100 bales in the
warehouse. Very little insurance was
carried or the building and contents,
and the loss will be heavy. The Cuth
bert fire department answered the call
and made a record run to Fort Gaines,
but the fire was under control on their
arrival Many small farmers lost their
entire crop in the fire.
E. E. Worsham's grocery store al
so burned, but his stock was partly
covered by insurance. A. w. Holley's
estate also lost building in the fire
and at one time it looked like the en-
tire block was going to be destroyed.
About 100 species of maple tree are
found in different parts of the world.

SEES THE WAY OUT
FOR THE FARMER
EDITOR FARM PAPER URGES
ELIMINATION OF "COWLESS,
SOWLESS, HENLESS" FARMS.

Complete elimination of "cowless,
sowless. henless' farms, of which there
were hundreds of thousands in this
country in 1920, would be the great
est thing" that could possibly be done
for the livestock industry of the ma
ton. said John Fields, of Oklahoma
CITY, editor of the Oklahoma Farmer,
in an address before the international
farm congress. With that done, Mr..
Fields said, many of the tribulations
of the farmer would disappear, start
would be made toward a return to
normal farm life and the foundation
of a sound system OF agriculture
would have been reconstructed.
The guardians of official reposi-
tories of all agricultural wisdom" were
Shocked, but that was about all,
said Mr.. Fields, when the census bu-
reau in 1920 made public figures show
ing that a million farms in the Unit
ed States were without cattle, more
than a million and half had no swine
and more than a half million were
entirely henless.
Better Sires Only Part.
"The United States department Of
agriculture COlllllluCu tIlC leiIll wi
tor, goes merrily on with its bet
sires' campaign-an excellent thing,
but relatively unimportant. State ag-
ricultural extension workers still con-
centrate their efforts largely on at
tempts to help live stock breeders sell
few more purebreds. Sincere but
misguided organizations of business
men continue their efforts to buy ag-
ricultural improvement by supporting
interesting, entertaining and fashion
able movements for rural uplift
"The program of official and unof--
fetal propaganda for more and better
live stock should be revised. The ma
tive good sense of farmers should be
permitted for a time at least to oper-
ate without misleading distraction.
efforts for the improvement OF
agriculture, whether official or spon-
sored by organizations such as this,
should b. confined closely to such
things as are not likely to bring loss
es to any farmer who adopts the plan.
They should be definitely applicable
to the operations of those who farm
for living-with whom farming is

it is a business or an industry. In re
cent years about the only farmers
who have not slipped are those who
have their farms organized, primarily
for making a living and only incident

gether tie organizations which made
the last crusade for a cleaner theater,

1t is not difficult to prevent weev1l

so easily prevented. The remedy is
found in the building Of corn crib Of
such construction that the weeWls
may be killed by fumigation. This
means i crib that is practically air
tight. To build such crib will cost
more than the storage PLACES in which
we are accustomed to place corn, but
it will pay If built well it will last
lifetime, pay for itself and return a
handsome profit on the investment
Anyone who can use saw and nam
mer can build a crib. Make the floor
and walls double, using tongued and
grooved lumber with building paper
between. Make the door air-tight by
using felt strips or pads OF cloth. Pro-
vide ventilation in the ceiling IN case
