'POSSum Hunt

The most delightful outing of the
fall season was the 'possum hunt of
the DeMolays and Rainbows Friday
night. About thirty boys and girls of
these two orders enjoyed the hunt.
The moon and weather were ideal
and the bracing efforts of the exhil-
irating November night air put pep
and vim into the young hunters and
huntresses.
After following the dogs for an hour
or so the youngsters returned to their
campfires and spent an hour in toast
ing weiners and marshmallows, eating
fruits, telling jokes and singing.
Every member Of the party express
ed the greatest satisfaction with the
outing and returned home tired and
ready for a good nights sleep.
Mrs. Gid Marshall, Mother Advisor
for the Rainbow, and DAILY Thompson,
Chairman of the Advisory Council for
the DeMolays, were chaperons.
Only one difficulty was experienced
and that was a fair and equitable
division of the possums caught.

a Comparison

Lacy Bilbrey, the sweet potato king
Of ImbOden, is getting some publicity
outside of the state. The Memphis
News Scimiter Of last Friday, contain
ed an editorial in which this paper
makes some comparisons on the price
received for potatoes and the price re-
ceived for cotton.
Mr.. Bilbrey produced 1880 bushels
of marketable sweet potatoes from 3
acres. The Scimiter remarks that
sweet potatoes at present are bringing
about SOC a bushel.
At this price Mr. Bilbreys crop is
worth $500 The Scimiter assumes
that he could have produced Il bale of
cotton to the acre, which isn't likely.
At these figures he would have grown
five bales. Five bales would have heen
worth about $500
TIE Scimiter says further, Later
on If cotton should go to 20, Mr.. Bill
brey's imaginative cotton crop would
have brought $500, but sweet potatoes
will eventually bring $100 bushel,
and by the time the price Of cotton
goes to 20c his potatoes will be worth
81, $3.50"
Mr. Bilbrey has curing house in
which he dries his potatoes and keeps
them in the best marketable condition.
He also holds his crop until the price
is good which is usually Ia the spring.

Farm Labor Wage

An analysis of farm pay during Octo-
Der just prepared by the Bureau of
Agriculture Economics shows that the
average wages paid to hired farm labor
throughout the country were higher
than in the corresponding month of
1925 or of 1924. In making the analy-
sis the Bureau Of Agriculture Econ
omics divided farm laborers into four
groups-those hired by the month with
board; those hired by the month with
out board those hired by the day with
board; and those hired by the day
without board. The average monthly
wage with board for the United States
as a whole in October was $4,000, as
compared with $3491 for 1925 and
$34.3S for 1924. The average monthly
wage without board was found to be
$5010, an increase over the $500 of
October, 1925, and $4S.46 for 1924.
California heads the list with an aver
age monthly wage with board of $4,000
and South Carolina the lowest with
$21 LOO. California heads the list in
the monthly wage without board group
at $4,000.
The average daily wage with board,
according to the analysis, was $197
as compared with $1.95 for 1925 and
S1.93 in 1924. The average daily wage
without board, is given as $2.55 while
in 1925 the figure was S2.53 and in
1924 it was $2.51. On a per day with
board basis, Montana heads the list
with 1920 and on a per day without
board basis North Dakota paid the
highest daily wage at $4.20.

DALTON

Corn gathering is progressing rather
slowly ON account of so much wet
weather, but cotton picking is about
over as farmers in this section had
but little of it this year.
Deputy Sheriff d. Il. Jackson had
special business here Friday.
Dalton school and community are
preparing a play to be given soon, en-
titled "Poor Married Man. At the
same time it is planned to have a get
together meeting of the patrons of
Dalton, Midway, Bakerden and Oconee
school districts, for the purpose of dis
cussing the question of consolidation
of the districts named. Mr. J. d. Wells
of the Randolph County Bank, will be
present to explain the benefits of a
consolidated school as compared with
the weak one-room school and short
terms as we have with the present
system. Everybody invited to be pres
ent, and especially the patrons of the
districts mentioned. .
Perry Kirkpatrick of Midway visit
ed his parents here from Monday until
Wednesday.
Jim Cook took load of household
goods to the bottoms for his brother,
Dan, last week.
We are very sorry indeed TO lose
our county agent. Mr.. Kerr. Come to
think of it though, from the Ingram
writer's point of view it is like scat
tering money TO the four winds to
spend such stupendous sum of money
for an agent, then on top Of that, he
has not held the price of cotton up to
where we can make a profit on it: he
has allowed the price of corn and hay
to drop to a point, in some instances.
below the cost of production and If be
doesn't get busy pretty soon, hogs are
going to be a lot cheaper than at pres
ent. We still have the divorce evil
with us, after having had a County
Agent for two years. as well as many
other unpleasant things. Yet on the
other hand, County Agent is only a
man, and cannot force us to take his
advice, but if we win listen to his adj
vice, we get the benefit of his college
training (Which unfortunately many of
us do not possess) as well as that of
every other member of the Extension
Service, whereas it would take us many
years to get the experience and know
ledge they have gained through years
of experiments. Then too there is
quite saving to be made by buying
our fertilizers, seeds, etc, through
him, and if every farmer in Randolph
County would go by the plans outlined
by our agent, we would not hear so
much bowling about low priced cotton
and high priced bacon.

Renewing the Forests
Ninety-five Per Cent Nature

A check of the cutover lands of st.
Louis county by T. S. Hansen OF the
forestry school at the University,
shows that less than one acre in twen-
ty is drowned, smothered is muskeag,
or barren from devastation. The rest
is coming back in second growth and
making another timber crop.
Foresters agree that renewal of the
forest is ninety-five per cent natures
work and five per cent planting.
There is no need of planting the
whole cutover country-only the bare
spots and the thin spots.
Two things are needful--to keep
out the fires which destroy the young
trees and kill the seed, and make the
forest bearing land pay its share OF
the taxes and no more.
