Believes in the Dairy Cow


jim Tate, farmer and member of the
Board of the Holmes Junior College;
Madison Mcclellan, and w. S. Weems
were IN the office Saturday of last week
discussing the merits of the dairy COW.
Mr.. Tate said if it had not been for
ms herd of cows this year he did not
know whether he would have been able
TO nave kept the sheriff away or not.
And now that boil weevils are in his
cotton since he had to plant over two
or three times and had all the trouble
tnat looks like was due him, he has
about decided that the dairy cows were
all that would pull him through. Of
course everybody knows the humorous
side OF Jim Tate but much of his argu-
ment was backed up by Madison Nc
Lellan and W. S. Weems of Owens.
Madison Mcclellan who has charge of
the Illinois Central Jersey male, instead
OF Hugh Mcclellan, as stated last week.
says that his cows bring him in around
$4,000 each two weeks but the way he
is organized in hiring help and buying
iced that he is not clearing what he
should and that he is going to Gull his
nerd down to about twelve head, raise
MS own feed and do his own work.
W. s. Weems, of Owens, states about
the same thing that Mr.. Mcclellan saws.
IN that he has lost money financing
others to grow his feed and that from
TINS year one he will grow what feed
he can and turn much of his hill lands
INTO pasture and by doing this he be-
lleVes he will clear more money.

Something To Think About

Brooke Burwell, capitalist, of Ebe-
nezer, is one of the close observers of
the economic trends of the agricultural
south and in commenting upon the
present financial conditions had the fol-
lowing to say:
I'm the years of my experience in
lending money to finance farmers in
Holmes county, which is a typical sec
tion OF the South, it is my observation
that money loaned to a farmer who pro-
duces his feed and food is a much safer
loan than one made to a one crop
farmer"
Mr.. Burwell further stated that with
thousand of people out of work, show
ing the position of industries, and
agricultural conditions being as thew
are today, he had much rather take his
chances with agricultural. Backing up
this statement by saving that he Gnu, a

An Illusion Trick

The only material needed for the
performance of this effective trick
are a safety pin and match. The
performer thrusts the point of the
pin through the center of the match
and then closes the pin. Holding the
spring end of the pin with the fng-
ers of the left hand, with the upper
end of the match behind the upper
bar of the pin as the spectators face
it, he invites his friends to watch
closely. Placing his right forefnger
on the under end of the match ION
the side away from the audience)
and pressing down smartly with a
forward motion he let's his finger
slide off the end. To the witnesses
the under part Of the match will
rise up and appear to pass right
through the upper bar of the pin.
The illusion is so perfect that the
performer himself does not see what
actually happens. The explanation is
that while the match describes only
half a revolution the rapidity of the
movement deceives the eye.-The

Eleven years have passed since the SAD
day
When my dear son was called so sud-
denly away.
I can see your dear face before me
And the last sweet look you gave me
Still fingers in my mind.
OF grief and sorrow I have had my
share
But parting with you, dear Norman,
Was the hardest of all to bear.
There is not an hour, dear Norman,
I do not think of you.
When the shades of night are falling,
And I am sitting all alone,
In my heart there comes a feeling
If my dear boy could come home.
In life loved you dearly,
In death 1 do the same.
My home would be like heaven

But we will all meet some day
Where parting is no more,
And all shall know each other there.

Do Fish Find the Bait By
Smell or Taste?

According to the Bureau Of Fish
cries, most fishes are attracted to
the bait by both the sense Of smell
and sight. The sense of smell is
highly developed in most fishes and
many species are attracted to the
bait chiefly by that sense. Such fish
es are not easily caught with arti-
fetal bats. Fishes that bite chiefly
by sight are most easily caught by
such bats.
