Is Mississippi An Omen?

AL Smith, if nominated, will carry the
Solid South. Not because the South wants
Smith, but because as certain Southern
leaders have explained, they have no
machinery in the South for counting Re-
publican votes. 1t may be news to
Northern citizens, but in many of the
counties of the Southern states, election
day is never held.
Dan Moody, governor of Texas, ac-
cordingly was within the facts when he
recently journeyed to New York, and laid
a laurel wreath, words of JUNCTION, and
the ~electrol vote of the state of Texas at
the feet of Governor Smith. What he
failed to tell the Governor, however. was
that on the day that. happened, Texas
for the first time could be really listed,
politically, as a doubtful state.
Dan talked about what Texas would do
for AL Smith. Let us SET what the SOW
erien state of Mississippi has already
done to him. In that commonwealth
they have been nominating a Democratic
candidate for governor. Elk : Governor
Theodore G. Bilbo vas a leading candi-
date for this position. His nomination
seemed a foregone conclusion, and in
the first p imary, he beat Governor Muir
phree almost two to one.
Because of the fact that there were
four candidates and the leading man did
not obtain a majority, a second primary
was necessary. Bilbo was picked to clear
the field, and then his opponent issued q
statement that Governor AL Smith,
through his secretary, had congratulated
Bilbo on his primary fight. and that in
return Bilbo had promised the Mississippi
presidential convention delegates to AL
Smith. Within one week Bilbo's lead
dropped from 70, 1000 to less than $4,000,
and when the second primary was held
Murphree who had been originally defeat
ed 2 to /, was only 5000 behind Bilbo.
1t is frankly admitted that Bilbo's vote
would not have been sufficient to attract
the attention of a vacuum cleaner if his
opponents had been able to get the AL
Smith story into the rural districts. Un-
der the circumstances, it would seem that
what Mississippi did to AL Smith is o
little more important as a political omen
than what Dan Moody promises.

Agricultural Facts

Timothy hay should not be cut later
than when 1t Is In full bloom.
Cut the lawn often, and do not re-
move the lawn clippings. They help
to build a good lawn soil.
The wise dairyman will know
whether he is keeping cows or wheth-
er the cows are keeping him.
Prices Of b~utterfat, wool, lambs and
poultry products are such that these
products will afford a much better
outlet for our grains than the cash
market will bring at any time this
year.
Look out for harlequin bugs ON
your cabbage and turnips and pick
them of by hand as soon as they ap-
pear; knock them into a can In which
you have a little kerosene oil and
water.
Where It is possible to haul the
manure directly to the field as 1t is
produced, this practice is to be ad
vised, since excessive losses by leach.
Ing and fermentation are thereby pre-
vented.

Trees Distinct Value

Longleaf pine is n particularly valu-
able tree for farm woodlands In many
parts Of the South because of Its ca
pacity to grow In the poorest and
deepest sandy types Of land. 1t will
grow on the dryest soils as well as
on wet lands, and with dual products
OF timber and turpentine often may
convert such lands from an economic
liability into an asset.

Hogging Down Corn Is
Successful in Dakota

Ohio, Kansas, Nebraska and Mis-
souri, experiment stations have been
successful with hogging down corn
and recommend 1t, but find that hogs
do not make profitable gains on corn
alone. They must have protein feed
like alfalfa or clover pasture, soy
beans or rape in the corn, or be fed
tankage or milk to balance up the
corn.
Rape seeded In corn and hogged
down at the South Dakota experiment
station increased the daily gains of
the pigs over 20 per cent. The pigs on
corn alone made a daily gain Of LOG
pounds while those getting corn and
rape made a daily gain Of 1.29 pounds.
They find that II tankage is high In
cost, cheaper gains may be made with.
out 1t, but a longer feeding period is
required.

Rape Pasture Is Useful
for Fattening the Pigs

Some years ago the Alabama expert
ment station fattened some hogs OIL
rape pasture-Dwarf Essex-plus a
mixture Of corn and wheat shorts.
The pasture provided one-half the ra-
ton, corn and shorts the other half.
Six 100-pound pigs were grazed upon
each acre lat days. During the time
the pigs made an average daily gain
of z of a pound and required only
Ii of an acre Of rape and 273 pounds
of grain for 100 pounds of increase In
weight. One acre of rape took the
place Of IS bushels Of corn in this par.
tlcular test. The green leaves Of rape
are, therefore, exceedingly valuable
when used as a part of the pigs ra-
ton. These kinds of leaves-and rape
and collards are kinsfolk-provide
succulence, bulk and valuable nutri-
ents to the pig In exactly the same
way that they provide these three
things to the members Of the family.

Tight Pack Obtained in
Packing Barrel Apples

A tight pack can be obtained in the
barrel of apples by thorough racking
without the necessity for overflling.
1t is very common to see the barrel
overflled. This is usually done to In
sure a tight pack, but 1t does not &C
complish its purpose. Usually 1t is an
insurance that fruit will be bruised.
A barrel which has been properly
racked needs but little pressing and
the fruit will be but slightly above the
ton OF the barrel before the press is
applied. For the very tghtest pack

speed, comfort, safety and low price.
 All day long and far into the night, great crowds gathered in hundreds of Ford salesrooms from Maine to Florida and from New York to San Francisco. Never has such interest been shown in a new car. Never has any new car so far exceeded expectations.
 People knew that Ford was making a new car. They knew it was a good car. They had read announce ments about it. But they had no idea it would be a car like this. Their quick appreciation of it is shown by the record breaking sales.

NEW HYDRAULIC PLANT" FIR MOOSE PASS DIST.

A complete hydraulic plant has been purchased by F. A. Neville of Port land, Ore, to be installed on the o. A. Anderson property, recently purchased by Mr. Neville. The plant was pur- chased by Mir Neville in Fairbanks and is expected to soon be on the ground. It consists of two or three giants and considerable pipe along with other essentials to mining.
 MT. Neville, with number of Port land capitalists, is interested in large area of placer ground in the Fairbanks district, one unit of which has been drilled by the Fairbanks Exploration company and for which a handsome sum has been offered While in Fair banks last week, MT. Neville pur- chased a complete Keystone drilling outfit and will drill the ground him. self before disopsing of it, or may de- eide to operate it himself. He made an airplane trip from Fairbanks to Wiseman, Circle and Chatanika and saw much of the north country from the air.
 Mr. Neville spent Saturday night in Seward and departed Sunday for Moose Pass, from which point he will again go to Fairbanks, expecting to re- turn within a week to Moose Pass.

AVIATION LAND|NG FIELD !.
 F0R CACHE CREEK DIST.

It will soon be possible to travel to the Cache Creek placer district by airplane according to Edward Young of the Alaska Road Board, who spent a part of yesterday in looking over the Seward golf links to ascertain if they could be used for landing field.
 The site selected for the Cache Creek district is on the plateau be- tween Black river and the watershed leading toward the valley of Cache creek, about 30 miles west of Talkeet- na. The site is practically at the point where miners and prospectors branch off the Cache road for the Kahiltna Valley and Fairview mining district, and approximately nine miles from the Cache creek dredge head quarters camp.
 The site is natural one, being a comparatively level plateau, covered with gravel and thin layer of moss. The only work necessary was the cut ting of few scrub willows and blow ing out several rocks.
 If needs be, said MT. Young, it will be possible to land on the gravel bars near the Cache creek dredge.
 A similar natural landing field ex- ists on Cottonwood creek in the Fair view district, 25 miles farther west.
 Increased activity in the Cache Creek and Fairview districts this sea- son promises to develop volume of business justifying the use of airplane, making it possible to fly from Anchor age to either district in few hours as against from three to five days by the present mode of travel.
 Should business warrant, the planes plying between Anchorage and the Kuskokwim country via Rainey Pass may, by a slight detour to the north ward, make Fairview a port of call.
