igrhtulations To Jackson
County.
JTAjt the election on Wednesday
the people of Jackson county
voted in favor of forming the
county into a taxing district for
the purpose of spending over
$600,000 on a system of perma
nent roadways. This was by
far the most important issue to
![ k the people of Jackson county and
Ok the majority in favor of progress
^s a decisive one.
fll ^ ~ When the farmers of Monroe
ifi aity wake up to the fact that
B kflnd their families are hav
H Dvrjay the greater part of
|| OZ Ly for not having per
il Vjoads, there’ll be some
B ^.oing in Monroe county.
" PvAiink of it—more than one
f half of the tax that would be
I necessary to build a system of
I permanent roads in Monroe
I county would fall on non-resi
dent property owners and more \
than one-half of the remaining
tax would fall on the big land
owners who live in the towns and
who sit back and collect the
thousands of dollars in rent.
The time is coming when Mon
roe county farmers will not work
their lives away in the prejudice
and darkness of a non-progres
sive serfdom. —Brinkley Argus.
Overloading The Young Mind.
This is a day of radicalism.
The zealot is abroad in the land
to amend, to convert, to upheave,
to innovate. “Whatever is, let’s
change it,” is the first article of
Jthe creed of an innumarable
company of social, ethical, phil
osophical and political dissent
ers.
They are now laying violent
hands upon the system of educa
tion. Dr. Wilson Ferrand, an a
andle
learn
arith
and
must be de
; his hand
by manual work;
nature must be a
by song;-he must be
into harmony with its
environment by means
nature lessons and the study
of science with sex hygiene.
In some manner there must
be aroused in him a love for
trees, a knowledge of alcohol’s
effects, a respect for birds, an
antipathy for cigarettes and an
ambition for cleaning streets;
and somewhere, somewhere in
this mad chaos, he must learn to
spell.”
And all this is expected from
a shamefully underpaid teacher.
The question is not in the intrin
sic merit of any of these
branches of knowledge; the
question is a surfeited educa
tional program. How can a child
absorb all learning? How is he
to learn to do everything, and
De evertmng at once; it is ex
cellent to be made aware that al
cohol is deleterious, that Jupiter
thundered from Olympus and
Vulcan was a blacksmith; that
certain Latin verbs govern the
dative case and others are fol
lowed by the abative; that a cor- j
rolla is made up of petals and a
calyx of sepals; that the housefly
is a pernicious peddler of germs;
that the normal temperature of
the body is between 98 and 99
degrees, and a thousand other
things. But do all these facts
need to be flung at the defense
less head of infancy all at once?

Making Bacon In The South.
The Southern states at one
time, years ago, produced large
numbers of hogs and cured prac
tically all of the bacon necessa
ry to feed the people.. At the
present time the same cannot be
said of a single Southern state
and of but few counties in any
of these states. There is one
county in Georgia, however, that
is showing others what can be
done in raising hogs. Brooks
county holds the distinction of
producing and selling more ba
con than any other county in
Georgia. Recently 22 wagon
loads of cured bacon were deliv
ered at Quitman in one day.
This amounted to 4,500 pounds.
Last year Brooks county raised
the meat necessary for home
consumption, shipped out sev
aral carloads of hogs, and in ad
dition sold 150,000 pounds of
bacon at an average pricbe of 14
cents a pound. This year it is
estimated that Brooks county

3«ln to what is needed foif
home consumption, and the j
large nurrtbers of hogs shipped
to the markets. About 1,000
head of fat cattle will also^ be
marketed from the county. The
raising of live stock has not been
accomplished at a sacrifice to
other crops, but has been pio
duced in addition to the regular
crops, with the result that those
■ who have taken up this line ot
work are becoming the leading
and the most prosperous farm
ers in the county. The cash re
ceipts for the live stock and ba
con sold from the county is near
$100,000.
What is being done in Brooks
county it is believed could be
done in every county in the
South. This would put the far
mer on a better financial foot
ing because he would not be de
pendent upon cotton as his sole
cash crop. Bacon can be made
a most profitable cash crop,
which can be marketed in early
spring when farmers are so of
ten in need of ready money. —
Fort Smith Times-Record.
A New Creed.
Boys’ and Girls’ clubs in a
number of states have adopted
the following creed as express
ing their sentiments and pur
poses :
“I believe that the country
which God made is more beauti
ful that the city which man
made; that life out of doors
and in touch writh the earth is
the natural life of man. I be
lieve that work is wrork wher
ever I find it, but that work with
nature is more inspiring than
work with the most intricate
machinery. I believe that the
dignity of /labor depends not
only upon what you do, but on
how you do it; that opportun
ity comes to a boy on the farm
as often as to a boy in the city;
that life on the farm is larger
and freer and happier than it is
in the town; that my success
depends not upon my location,
but upori myself—not only upon
my dreams, but upon what I ac
tually .db ;■ not upon luck, but
upon pl,uck. I believe in working
when you work and playing
when you play, and in giving
land demanding a square deal in
every act of life.”
Swat The Ancestors.
St. Louis Republic: To make
St. Louis a flyless city it is nec
essary that we quit breeding
flies. And in order to do this
but two things are needful—to
destroy the breeding places and
to kill off the “reserve stock”
which has come through from
last year.
The thing that makes the fly
the universal pest that he is, is
the rapidity with which the fly
harvest increases on the soil
one fly lays 150 eggs a day. It
takes but a few days for the 150
eggs to pass through the larva
and pupa states and come out a s
adult flies, all the females of
which are ready to go to work
laying each 150 eggs a day.
Statistics are a bore, but the
weather is cool and the question
important. Let us see what
would result in the way of daily
increase in the crop of flies
from just one day’s work of just
one female fly after but two
broods had come to maturity.
And let us suppose that of the
150 flies produced by our one fly
one-half are females and two
thin s of these are swatted in
\ infancy. This would leave twen
jty-f e fertile flies, each laying
15° ggs daily—3,750 eggs a day.
N "* let us take just one day’s
work of these 3,750 flies, sup
posing again, that one-half are
females and that two-thirds of
then die. This would leave 625
fei' le females, each producing
150 eggs a day—93,750 eggs.
Now, mind you, these 93,750
eggs would represent siirtply the
activities of the fertile grand
' j
}
(
day’s egg lading female fly. <'
In other words, if one female
fly were to lay her usual number
of eggs one day and then die and
if from the 150 eggs so produced
there were to develop twenty
five female flies, each of which
should lay for one day and then
die; if from this second brood
of eggs there should result one
fertile female out of every six,
there would be 625 female flies
laying 93,750 eggs every day as
the result.
It is easy enough to understand
how “swarms of flies” so easily
appear where filth invites. A
half dozen female flies and hos
pitable garbage cans or manure ■
heaps are all that are necessary.
He who would swat well must
swat early. Wei shall be helpless
against the grandchildren of the ,
early fly. Our only chance is to 1
swat their ancesters. — Fort ,
Smith Times-Record.
