GOOD HHALTH BASED ON
WHOLESOME ROOD HABITS
Good food habits include more
than leisurely eating, cleanliness and
order in everything that has to do
with food and meals. Equally im
portant are u liking for all kinds of
wholesome foods, even if they have
not always been used in the home or
neighborhood, and eating reasonable
amounts, without being greedy or
overdainty Every effort should be
made to train children in such good
food habits, urges the United States
Department cf Agriculture. If older
people have not learned them, they,
too, should try to do so, for such
things are important not only to
health but also to economy. To re
fuse t . eat some wholesome dish
abiip'y because it is new may prevent
the use of some very desirable and
economical food. To feel that there
is any - irtue in providing more food
than is needed shows poor taste as
well as economy.
The health and appearance of the
family make a go d test of the whole
someness of the diet. If the members
are strong, weil developed for their
ages, free from ailments, and full of
t energy and ambition, it may safely
j be said their food agrees with them.
I But if they are listless and ailing, or
; not as well developed either physical
ly or mentally as they should be, and
! if a competent physician finds that
there is no special disease to account
for these bad symptoms, a mother
may well ask herself if the food is
right, and if not, now she can make
t so.
In such cases she might, for in
stance, apply for information on
food and diet to her county leader in
agriculture and home economics and
to the home economics department of
1 her State agricultural college.
WHAT THE COUNTY
AGENT DOES
The duty of the farm and home
demonstration agent is not to show
each farmer how to run his farm or
the home or how to bring up the
children but it is to organize the
various agricultural forces of the
county in such a way as to obtain
co-operation for more profit and
more satisfying rural life.
There is little need to argue the
value of the demonstration agent.
His usefulness and his accomplish
ments speak for themselves. The.
woman home demonstration agent
has done just as fine a work and as
her part in the building of a better
farm life, and in improving the farm
home. The boys’ and girls’ clubs
are starting many a hoy and girl in
the right direction, and their teach
ings are valuable because they take
the mind and spirit at a formative
period and guide it in the direction
of a better agriculture. The exten
sion movement is bringing science to
the farm, is making the discoveries
of our colleges and the practices of
our best farmers available to the
tiller of the soil.
Just as an illustration of the worth
of the county agent the difference
noted in Rankin County, Mississippi,
between one year when there was no
ounty agent, and the next year
when there was, has been rather
commented upon in that state, and
we give it here as a very striking ex
ample of what can be accomplished
by an agent in 12 months. Rankin
now has a wide awake agent who be
lieves in co-operative shipping, ac
cording to an official report from
that state. This report says:
‘‘This year our county agent or
ganized a co-operative club and
looked after the marketing of our
produce. Also he gave us informa
tion as to treating seed and the
proper fertilizer to use. This year
our gent marketed 22 car loads of
potatoes, co-operatively, for us, and
secu ed top market prices. Some of
the farmers in this community made
over *100 per acre. This increase
of, 0 '• cars is due to the efforts *f the
cA gent as we had never been
ab^^^^^jto.market our produce at
buSfls of seed wheat right here in
thi* community thriugh our agent
to \ planted this fall. The expen
enccBof Rankin County with its
ago* can be duplicated in many
counties.”—Virginia Extension News
COUNTY SUPT. LAWSHE
MAKES STATEMENT
To The Public:
)n the 5th day of January I was
gr. en my commission as county
superintendent of Yalobusha County,
i' ler the able leadership of my
p decessor progress has been made
in our schools but there is yet a
g at work ahead. 1 am highly
pleased with the outlook for the
mesent administration. There are
many things for which we must
wc,rk if we give the boys and
m-Is of the country the square deal
they deserve. Three of these de
cree special mention here: (1)
better school houses, (2) longer
terms, and (3) better paid teachers.
These we can have, and these we will
have if the parents and tax payers
will only stand together for them.
In the election of last November
in amendment was added to our
Hate constitution which, if given
proper support by the legislature,
will bring aid to our county. The
■Hate department of education is
Handing pat in its endeavor to eejua -
iv i■ the rural school system of the
state. 1 sincerely trust that our
1) ard of supervisors, hoard of trus
tees, and the public in general will
co-operate with me in securing our
share of any aid that might be of
fered.
To the teachers of the county l
\ w -h to offer a word of commenda
tion for the loyal and faithful work
v u aro doing. Yours is ft noble
W ,rk and one for which you should
be well paid. It is your duty to
unite and join with me in an effort
to raise the standard of teaching m
the county. Let’s use more force
and hurl more bricks of education
| against the wails of ignorance than
i we have ever done before.
I must also add a word of enuorse
ment for our county agents. There
is little need to argue the value of
these people. Their influence and
their accomplishments speak for
themselves. The boys’ and girls
clubs are starting many a boy and
girl in the right direction, and their
teachings are valuable because they
take the mind and spirit at a forma
tive period and guide it in the direc
tion of a better agriculture. The ex
tension movement is bringing science
to the farm, is making the discover
ies of our colleges and the practices
of our best farmers available to the
tiller of the soil.
There i» no end to the value of the
press to the educational, agricultural
commercial and moral development
of the country. Our county papers
ale to be commended for the spirit
ir which they give this page. I ask
tl e public to watch these columns
ir the future for any information I
way have to put before the people.

A TALK TO CLUB GIRLS
Mv dear Canning C!ub Girl:
The year of 1920 is with us and 1
want us to see just what we can do
this year. Some of you 1 have seen
and talked to about what you were
going to do this year and some I
have received 'etters from. I re
ceived a letter from Mrs. Della B.
Alley, District Agent yesterday and
she said she wanted me to stress
'•aiming for market this year more
than any other phase of work. There
is great demand for jellies, preserves,
pickle and ketchup, the former to
he put in tin cans and the iatter in
glass containers. Tomatoes sold
this year for $1.76 to $2.00 p^r
dozen, beans $2.00, berries $2.40
peaches $3.25 and jelly at twenty
five cents per glass. I have sold up
to date every can for sale in the
county except ten dozen tomatoes
As you know, some of the girls are
paying their way to school with the
money they made by canning.
A eanner will cost $5.75 ordered
from Farm Canning Machine Co..
Meridian, Miss. Cans will cost from
3!i to i'j cents apiece or $3.50 to
$4.50 per 100 cans. You can can
enough in one day to pay for the
eanner. A ftee trip to A. & M.
College, a free trip to Jackson will
be given from this county and a trip
to Washington, D. C., will be given
from this district to the girl canning
the most cans for sale and home use
We want this Washington trip for
this county so let’s go after it.
The cans mny be ordered from
James B. Small, Winona, Miss., at
3% cents apiece for cans. The
enamel lined cans may be gotten
from Dixie Canner Co., Little Rock.
Ark., for canning hemes at $4.50
Jer iwt. Order r-gnt awgy if you
sxpe'-t to get them hv June.
Hoping that you will can more for
sale than ever before and that you
,v!U can some at all ti®os, I am
Your friend,
LILLIAN B. DORRIS.
UET YOUR LESPEDEZA IN
MARKETABLE SHAPE BEFORE
BRINGING THEM TO MARKET
Seed Is Moving Freely.
We are shipping lespedeza seed as
jrder:; received. Several farmers
iave brought seed in to ship that we
lad to turn down because they were
not properly cleaned. Now, before
ircu can get your seed on market you
mist get them in good shape. You
,vii: have to run seed through cieaner
it least twice or maybe three times.
Seed should be free of dirt, and all
foreign material. I am sending out
samples and of course if seed shipped
io not come up to sample we will
iave trouble. It is my intention to
try and ship seed just a little better
than sample. ,.
Any person having seed to se.l,
write me number of bushels and I
,vill place them for you. Iliad rather
y ou would store them in your respec
tive town, and notify me and then
when 1 get order I can ship seed with
out delay.
As I have stated to you befoie it
we would hold seed and not quote
them for less than $7 per bushel, we
ivould get it, but some of the farmers
ire anxious to sell therefore l have
quoted soed at $b.50 per bushe*. *
believe that seed will move fieely at
this price. We have gotten out one
nrder at $6 and have several to get
jut at $6.50.
Lespedeza is a wonderful crop and
[ wish that every farmer in Yalo
busha County would plant some les
pedeza. Lespedeza will make you
from $20 to $50 per acre, and is one
of the best soil improvers that we
have. Any farmers in County that
want to purchase seed write me and
1 will -get them for you.

SORGHUM CHECKS
ARE BEING MAILED
We have received returns on car
of sorghum shipped from Coffee
ville before Christmas. This car was
shipped to Chicago and was in trans
it several days. We had only half
car and therefore had to load with
County Agent, Lafayette County. We
received $1.12 per gallon for num
ber one and five cents less for num
ber two but will have to pay freight
from Oxford to Cotteeviiie, therefoyi
mo’asses will net you about $1.07.
You will get statement with checks.

One of the wonders of the British

the London Daily News, was a Danish
appliance for keeping milk fresh for
two years or more. No piUervatives
are used. The apparatus is known as

FUTURE HOG MARKET
MORE ENCOURAGH
I cm in rc-eipt of letter from
Com. Firm, St. Louis, stating tk
they are of the opinion that he
will sell for $16.50 by Feb. and
spring will be bringing $18 per ci
Of crurse no one knows just wh
the market will do, but I feel that tj
men that are in direct touch with t
market are better posted than aii
one else. If you have a bunch
h oates, if possible carry them eei
spring. If your neighbor h
shoates that he is going to put on ti
market buy them, if you are in
position to care for them, and ear
them until spring. There is a quan
ty of damaged corn that can be f<
to bogs.
At this writing the extreme top
$14.70 per cwt. This means th
best Southern hogs will bring abo
$14.20 in St. Louis.
CATTLE MARKET
Cattle market is advancing som
on good kind. Canner cows $5.1
‘o $5.50. Cuttei-3 $5.50 to $6.0
Common to medium bulls $6.25 t
$7.50. Medium to good bulls $7.C
t-o $8.00. Fair to good butcher cov
$0 to $7 per cwt.

STOCK. PEAS ARE HIGH
The cow pea crop is extremely

peas to sell let me Ttnow what you

Also give variety. Peas should be

should be cleaned well.

SORGHUM SEED.
I find that a good number of farm
ers over the county have sorghum
seed for sale. The sorghum crop
was short the past year and sorghum
seed should be a fair price. We
have had several inquiries for seed
but have net quoted anyone at this
writing. Write me the amount and
variety that you have and I will sell
them for you. .
