Ten Million Forest Trees
For Mississippi Farmers

Jackson, Miss, August 1.-two
million pine seedlings have been Sc
cured from the Soil Conservation
Service for distribution to Mississip-
pi landowners by the State Forestry
Commission, according to State For
ester Fred B. Merrill, who has just
completed an interview with Regional
Nurseryman L. B. Scott of the Soil
Conservation Service, Spartanburg,
S. c.
Mr.. Merrill says that this will make
available well over ten million seed
lings for planting on private property
in Mississippi While this amounts to
three times the number available last
year it is expected that demands due
to Triple A payments will cause a
shortage of seedlings before the first
of December. This is due especially
to the possibility that the special $50
per farm AAA forest tree planting
payments may be discontinued, or re-
duced, after December /, 1910.
The Mississippi Forestry Commits
sion is booking orders according to
priority of receipt and all persons de-
string trees should place their orders
as soon as possible with the Forestry
Commissions N~urseryman, Richard
c. Allen, Mt. Olive.

Technology on the Farm" pre-
pared by a committee of scientists
and technicians representing all of
the technical and action bureaus and
agencies of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, and which spent
a year in making a comprehensive
study of chronological developments
in agriculture, is probably the most
interesting publication that has ever
come out of Washington. 1t summar-
ICES the remarkabl, and amazing
developments in various agricultural
fields including improvements in
machines, animals, plants, land use,
processing and use of farm pro-
ducts.
Improvements in plants and crop
prediction include these amazing
developments: Hybrid corn. which
yields 10 to 20 percent more than
open-pollinated varieties and which in
creased from 10000 acres in 1888
to $4,000, 600 acres in 1889; improv-
ed varieties of small grains including
rust wheat, oats, and barley and cold
resistant varieties of flax for the
South; higher yielding varieties of
soybeans and improvement in quail
ty Of oil content. Acreage of soy
beans for seed has increased from
less than 2 million in 1924 to over
8 million acres in 1889.
Early maturing grain sorghums
have been developed; 1000 one
variety cotton communities have been
organized; there has been a shift
from lower to higher yielding tame
hays and comparable developments
in fruits, vegetables and other field
crops.
Improvement in animals and their
care cover these current develop
ments: Progeny testing, cross breed
ing, correction of mineral and vita
min deficiencies; control of volume
and quality Of livestock products,
disease control, and artificial in
semination.
Improvement in land use includes
shift from soil-depleting to soilcon-

helped by CARDUI.
Principal way CARDUI helps is
by stimulating appetite and the flow
of gastric juices. Thus it may aid
digestion; help build up a woman's
strength, energy and nerve-force;
so increase physical resistance to
periodic discomfort.
It also helps reduce periodic dis
