aLET STEPHENS REMAIN"

This is the title of an editorial from
the Gulf Coast Guide. It calls atten-
tion to the fact that South Mississippi
and the Sixth Congressional District now
furnish one Senator, the Governor, the
Lieutenant Governor, and several minor
State officers, and that Stephens oppo-
nent also lives in that District. It says.
why not let North Mississippi keep her
Senator. Turn about is fair play"
This is the way thousands Of people
in South Mississippi feel about the mat
t1l They are too unselfish to want both
Senators. How do the people in North
Mississippi feel?
Senator Stephens will carry that part
of the State which lies south Of the
A. & v. Railroad. That he will also
carry North Mississippi is not doubted.
1t is hoped that all his friends will vote
on August 21st.

The Holmes County Stephens Cam
raign Committee has contributed full
page advertisement in this issue Of The
Advertiser in behalf Of Senator Hubert
D. Stephens, who is candidate for re-
election in the primary that will be held
Tuesday, August 81.
Senator Stephens is fearless and
courageous official. His legislation and
support of governmental affairs has
been one of constructive and progress
sive measures, and to those who make
a study of craftsmanship and leadership,
Senator Stephens fills there requisites
and has earned the respect and confi-
dence of his colleagues at Washington,
who rely on him and trust him in serv-
ing this great nation in its problems and
national affairs.
It has been said that in order to get
an unbiased view on any man Of public
affairs is to Investigate his record, and
to those who are familiar with Senator
Stephens service at the nations capital
his record stands out in a most pros
nounced manner, his ability recognized
by Republican leaders as well - hiA
Democratic associates.
We quote below the valued opinions
Of others who recognize Senator Steph-
ems ability, and the Importance attached
to retaining him where he can continue
to serve the interests of Mississippi
and it's people:
"He is a worker, not talker." Vice.

stephens bill to bring almost $9,-
100000 to the people of the State is
great work. 1t has passed the Senate
and is now pending in the House. It
will benefit every citizen of the State.
stephens was the first man to make
an effort to investigate the buying and
selling of office, by holding up appoint
ments in the Senate. More than two
years ago, he had bill passed through
the Senate making it crime to buy
and sell public office. Before that, such
conduct was not criminal. Judge Holmes
says that no one could have been indicted
at Biloxi but for the passage of this
bill. This is complete answer to the
dirty charge that Stephens did nothing
to put stop to such ugly business.
yet, knowing this, his opponent,
without any regard for the truth and
without any evidence to warrant the
charge, continues to assert that the SEN

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The Jerusalem artichoke, a widely
known but little used plant native to
the United States, has recently taken
on new interest because of the devel-
Opment of an improved method for
producing levulose from its tubers.
Levulose is form of sugar which is
considered by many authorities to be
much sweeter than ordinary cane
sugar.
The renewed interest in the Jeru-
salem artichoke and it's possibilities
calls for a thorough study of the
plant. Accordingly the United States
Department of Agriculture has recent
ly published Technical Bulletin No.
33-T, in which has been collected
and reviewed all of the published
works on the artichoke. Besides
summary of available literature the
bulletin includes the results of pre-
liminary work in the study of varie-
ties. Suggestions for improvement of
varieties are also included.
The culture of the Jerusalem arti-
choke is very similar to that of corn
and is no more expensive, except har-
vesting, which is comparable with
that of potatoes. Although it has
rather undeserved reputation as a

Barnyard Manure Is Best
Plant Food, Saws Keffer

No other source of plant food is
manure in the maintenance of soil fer
tility. That is why some form of ami
NAL husbandry should find a place in
every farm plan, states Director
Charles A. Keffer of the agricultural
extension service, University of Ten
nessee. The fertility of the land can
be kept up and increased by the use
Of commercial fertilizers and green
manure crops. Lime and legumes and
acid phosphate mark the cropping
route to successful soil Improvement.
Most farmers practice a more or
less diversified agriculture and on
most farms crop rotation of some sort
is used. 1t may be only that of fol-
lowing corn with small grain or cot
ton, or even letting field lie idle
a year, to pillow under the weed
growth for the following crops. And
there are not a few farmers who
imagine that merely to grow cow
peas, cutting them close for hay,
greatly benefits the soil. That is a
mighty poor way Of maintaining soil
fertility.
Crop rotation of any sort is better
than continuous cropping to one kind
of plant, but to be in the highest de-
gree beneficial corn and cotton and
tobacco and truck crops should alter
nate with some legume, preferably
clover or alfalfa for hay and pasture
and then plowed into the land. Thus
we have a cultivated crop rotating
with sod crop, and the use of IivS
stock in the farm scheme.

Odors in Milk Annoying
During Winter Season

Dairymen will often experience
more trouble in keeping odors from
their dairy products in winter than in
summer. This is on account of milk
absorbing odors from the barns as
well as from the feeds that are given
to dairy cows.
Keeping barn odors from milk
means not only keeping the barn clean
but providing proper ventilation. When
a barn is close and stuffy. barn Odors
are apt to be noticed in the product.
Green feed often produces odOrs in
the milk, especially when eaten short
ly before milking Rape is feed of
this class. When cows are pastured
on rape or any other feed which af-
fects the milk, it is important that
they be given the feed shortly after
milking. When used in this manner
odors will not be noticeable if several
hours intervene between the time Of
feeding and milking.
The same principle holds true In
feeding during winter. Silage often
flavcrs milk if given to the cows prior
to milking. For this reason it is pref
cradle to feel silage and any other
feds of similar character after milk
ing, rather than before.

Acid Phosphate Adds to
Chief Value of Manure

Dairy farmers who apply acid phos-
plate to their land with manure for
season, need not worry about more
fertilizer for several years, says the
State College of Agriculture at Ithaca,
n. y, which gives the following di-
rections for using acid phosphate In
this way:
Scatter the acid phosphate in the
stalls and cutters at the rate of one
and one-half to two pounds daily for
each COW. Acid phosphate is good alb
sorbent and is sanitary material to
use in the dairy barn. Farmers who
do not wish to scatter the acid phos-
plate in the stalls and cutters may
spread it over each load of manure
at the rate of so to rs pounds to
load. If manure is stored, scatter
acid phosphate over the stored ma
nure every few days at the rate of
40 to 60 pounds for each ton of ma
nure.
Farmers who have tried this plan
find it saves time and conseryes the
valuable parts of the manure, the col
lege says.

Balanced Roughage

Alfalfa and corn silage makes only
one of the combinations which will
give us a balanced roughage. Clover
hay is nearly as rich in protein and
minerals and can be used in place of
alfalfa with good results. Soy beans
and cowpea hay are as high in protein
but are coarser, resulting in some
waste. Corn slower, corn fodder or
hay from grasses can be used, If neces-
sary, in place of silage but they lack
succulence. Any of these combina-
tons give us medium protein rough

Sweet Clover Value

If properly used sweet clover has a
higher value in building up land than
red clover. It cannot be used for a
hay crop as well as red clover. Sweet
clover will probably give more pas
turage than red clover, though the
time it can be pastured is not as long
as red clover. Sweet clover see may
be sown in the spring about as red
clover is sowed with oats or other
small grains. From ten to fifteen
pounds of good seed is used per acre.
