Progressive Farm Hints Given

How local business men, the editor Of
the county paper, and the county agent can
cooperate in a big way to advance better
farming is being impressively demonstrated
by Lewis Henderson, editor of the Scott
County Times, the business men of Forest
and Scott county land County Agent c.. G.
Boone.
Recently these three powerful forces CO.
operated in sponsoring a countrywide feed
production program. The past week, spon-
sored by the banks of Forest, Lake and
Morton, Editor Henderson carried a full-page
program on livestock and poultry produc-
ton which he pointed out is based on good
pastures and ample feed crops" Every far
mer in the county was asked to make a
start towards carrying out the following

Letter Stute Supt.
Education

The people of Mississippi will be
called upon to vote on a constitutional
amendment in the general election in
November. This amendment as pro-
vided for by House Concurrent Re-
solution No. 20 of the Legislature
of 1910 provides for the sale or
disposal of certain lands granted in
lieu of sixteenth section lands where
these lands are not located in coun-
ties owning same.
We have studied this matter very
closely and believe it will be to the
best interest of all concerned to pass
this amendment. More than 10000
acres of these lieu lands are located
in Hancock and Pearl River Counties.
At the present time, the counties
owning these lands are receiving no
revenue from them and the counties
in which they are located are re
ceiving no taxes.
The sale of the lands will make
it possible for the school to derive
some revenue from the sale and al
of the lands sold will be placed on
the tax rolls thereby benefiting the
the state, the country, and the local
districts in which they r located.
We are calling on the people OF
the state to inform themselves with
reference to this amendment
Remember that a blank ticket on
the amendment will be counted as a
vote AGAINST it.

Bot Control Campaign
Sturts lovember II

Arrangements have been made to
secure the services again this year
of DR.. C. f. O'Neal, Veterinarian,
Jackson, Mississippi, in carrying on a
Bot Control Campaign in this county,
said County Agent l. w. Carson, to-
day.
This campaign will start on Nov
ember IL which is set up purposely
earlier than in the past so as to give
the work animals the full benefit of
the treatment. By treating the work
animals for Bots in November it will
rid the animals of these parasites be-
fore they have had time to do very
much or no injury to the animal.
At the same time the Bot treat
ment is administered to the animals,
a dental examination will be given,
and in cases where treatment is nee
essary, a small extra charge will be
be made for this service.
Mares and colts should not be over
looked in this campaign as these
animals are usually affected by these
parasites as much as work animals.
Colts, in many cases, go into the
winter months in a poor condition as
a result of Bot infestation.
Notices will be mailed out to the
farmers previous to the campaign,
giving more detailed information as
to where the work animals may be
carried for this treatment.

How To Spray Roses

In response to a request from many
housewives the following informa-
ton is given out relative to spray
ing roses, by Chesley Hines, assistant
horticulturist at State College:
Scale Insects: Spray in winter
with oil emulsion l part to 20 parts
water.
Powdery Mildew, Black Spot and
Blossom Blight; Spray with Bordeaux
Mixture according to directions on
package, or dust with superfine dust
ing sulphur. The dust will not dis
color foliage as will the spray. Apply
dust when dew is present, using dust
gun or flour sack. Make first APP
plication as soon as leaves begin to
appear and follow every ten days OF
two weeks. When Black Spot is sever
pick off and burn infected leaves.
Plant Lice or Aphids and Thrips
Spray with Nicotine Sulphate
(Black-leaf 40) l 1-2 teaspoonfuls to
l gal. soapy water, or / ~. to s
gals. soapy water. This is a contact
spray and should be used only when
insects are actually present. When
buds and blooms are infected with
thrips cut off and burn before spray
ing.

Lespedezo Seed Should
Be Harvested Now

Lespedeza seed on hundreds of farms
in Holmes County should be harvest
ed this week. In cases where a COM
bine is not available or could not be
used profitably on account of a small
acreage, a lespedeza pan can be used
to harvest these seed. This pan is
fastened to the mower blade and
drawn on the ground, permitting the
lespedeza plants to pass the top of
this pan. As the plant passes over the
pan, the seed shake off and pass
through holes into the seed con-
tainer.
Two men are required to operate
this seed saving device. One man
driving the team while the other
walks along by the side of the pan,
shaking and beating the seed from
the plants while they pass over the
pan.
Last Saturday a farmer told me
that he had SO acres of lespedeza in
his pasture from three to four inches
high, with a good seed crop. Suppose
ITlS has ioo pouiiuo VI
common fespedeza seed per acre. This
would be 5000 pounds of seed and
at 1Oc per pound would be worth
$4,000. In all probability common
lespedeza seed will sell for the price
much above 10c the coming season.

+. w. CARSON, County
Agent.

Wage Hour Division Opens
Industry-Wid Drive On
Pecan Shelters

Birmingham, Ala, Oct. 20.-Wagt
and hour Division inspectors will be.
gin next week an intensive investiga.
ton of the pecan Smelling in the
United States it was announced here
today by Robert T. Amis, Regional
Director. of the Wage and Hour Divi-
sion for Alabama, Mississippi and
Louisiana.
Complaints have been received by
the division against a number of
pecan shelters in this region, as
operating in violation of the Wage
and Hour Law. Those complained
against are centered in dickson,
Mississippi, Biloxi, Mississippi and
Mobile, Alabama.
The compliance drive will include
all pecan shelters regardless of
whether or not complaints have been
lodged against them, in an effort to
bring the entire industry into COM
pliance thus giving none a competi-
tive advantage over the other so
far as labor is concerned.
To cooperate with members of this
industry meetings will be held on
Tuesday, October %, 1910, at the
Post Office Buildings in Biloxi, Mis-
sissippi and Mobile, Alabama and at
1912 Pere Marquette Building, New
Orleans, Louisiana. Representatives
of the Wage and Hour Division will
be present at these meeting for the
purpose of discussing the Wage and
Hour Law.
Mr.. Amis declared the investiga-
tion will be pushed to a proper con-
clusion before a halt is made. THE
will include payment of unpaid back
wages and overtime from October
"a, 1888, the effective date Of the
law, as well as institution of adequate
systems of time record keeping and
of all child labor, as far
Federal Child Labor laws apply.
In cases where pecan shelters in
dictate a convincing desire to come in
to compliance by fulfilling all pro-
visions Of the law Mr.. Amis said the
Division would permit violators to
enter into consent decress. fragrant
violators and those showing no de-
sire to cooperate with the Division
will promptly be brought into Fed
eral court, he said.

system could be worked out in these
United States whereby the farmer
could get a decent price for the stuff
he raises so that he can afford a
decent standard Of living for his home
and family. His purchasing power
should be enough to keep the fac
tories and business humming, to solve
unemployment problems.
Such a system involves a certain
amount of government price fixing, it
is true, but it seems that we are
steadily going in that direction any.
way.
1t seems much more sensible to us
to stabilize the American farm in
come than to try to finance agricul-
tural SURPRISES of South American
countries.
Those countries by h~eredity, train
ing and instinct are more friendly to
the governments of Europe than to
our American government. Their
temperament and mode of living are
much more akin to Europe than to us.
Yet we propose to take them under
our wing, be a 'big brother" to them.
We are far from certain that these
countries need or want a big broth
er in the person of "Uncle Sam"
1t seems that we would be doing a
more important job if we solidified
our forces at home by putting our
own people to work and raising the
standard Of living Of millions o f
Americans rather than trying TO
change the culture of South America
and make them a Spanish colony of
the United States.

wanting the job bad enough to run for 1t,
we do not have any sympathy for him In

it is because of that headache that we Holmes

encouragement on when we can expect it to

Mr.. Roebuck really made us a true and

But alas and alack, as for highway IL,
when asked point blank about when we
could expect it to be finished, his answer
was frankly, Lord only knows.
