A new order of farming In Mis sissippi, necessitated by curtailed income and made possible by Increased farm feed supplies, is evidenced in the annual report of C. Holton, Cornrnissioner of Agriculture, toching upon farm usage of fundamentals of crop production. "Not many years ago or feed bill was twelve million dollars annually and our fertilizer bill was ten million dollars annually.

The story is far different now. Spurred by acute necessity, the home produc tion of feedstuff has increased to the extent that Mississippi is now more nearly self-supporting than at any time iwthin recent decades; while scarcity of money has reduced fertilizer expenditures to a fraction of tomcr amounts. "Commercial fertilizers arrived at financial importance in Mississippi about forty years ago. The earliest record, that of the seaso nof 1892-93, indicated purchases of a little less than 26,000 tons. The highest purchase season was that of 1930, 370,000 tons.

In 1931 we used only 197,000 tons, and last year only 89,525 tons. 'Feedstuffs purchases reached the high point of 321,000 tons in 1919-20. We consumed 203,000 tons of commercial feedstuffs in 1930, and 166,000 tons in 1931. The record last year was 77,271 tons and the lowest since compilation of earliest definite records in 1912-13. 'A different story is told In the i instance of home produced cotton seed meal.

The smallest recent usage was 10,000 tons in 1917-18; the highest 99,000 tons in 1926-27 We consumed 97,500 tons of cottonseed meal In 1930, and 79,937 tons in 1931. Last years tonnage was second highest at tons. 'Tbe actual saving was greater than indicated by the tonnage consumptive figures because of greatly reduced costs per ton. It is probable that the bill in 1932 was not more than one-fifth the expenditure for feed, fertilizer and cottonseed meal in 1930. "In our days of prosperity it was frequently said that pur cotton profit' was spent before it was eamrd for these products which might most, profitably be reduced at Certainly here is proof that Mississippi-is firmiy entrenchec behind a live-at-home program ar.a will therefore be in position to snb-prices resume their normal trend."

Jackson, 6 Announcement of the setup of Garden Councils in eight counties and three cities, was made Monday by the State Board of Public Welfare. Repuisitions for garden seed have been received from these units and will be approved as soon as possible. It is the policy of the board that no. seeds will be granted any county or municipal relief unit until organization of a Garden Council is reported to the office The Welfare Board urged that those counties and cities which have not organized their councils, do so as early as possible in order that deliveries of seed may be expediat-ed.

Counties reporting their Garden Council organizations are: Clark: Copiah, Lamar, Lawrence, Jackson, Newton, Noxubee, and Walthall. Cities are Brookhaven, Columbia and McComb. A policy of 'no garden, ho relief" was inaugurated -by the state welfare board last week with the belief that this type of, relief will be the most desirabds" and effective to a self-hespecting, industrious and patriotic people. The program is designed to help individuals and families produce their own food supply at the least ppssible "cost and to further safe-guard thqir health and pl'sical welfare by providing an abundance of fresh vegetables. Although the garden program was jwimarly introduced for the unem ployed and destitute persons now receiving relief funds from the Welfare Board, the director urges the plan be adopted for every family In the state as a means of promoting good health and employment for our entire citizenship.

The director also pointed out that ho garden seed will be sent to any county or municipal welfare unit until a Garden Council has been organized. He also said that all garden seed will be distributed from the local welfare units, and none disbursed from the State Board of Public Welfare It was pointed out that funds used for the purchase of seed will be deducted from February allotment to the various county and city re lief units.

By Clinton Scollard Tha night upon the IheiT wild Valkyries blew As though the legions of despair Swept the impending heavens through. The Fates and Furies rode the air That night upon the Delaware. The ice-pack gnawed the sodden banks, Sundered and rocked the middle stream; There ran a murmuring through the ranks As at some dread, foreboding dream. Amid the crunch splintering planks.

The icc-pw. eaawed the sodden The trees seemed wsti and wizened ghosts, And groped the mists with shriveled hands; Weird was that gathering of hosts, The massing of those tattered hands. On those inhospitable coasts The trees seemed wan and wizened ghosts. Yet valorous their victory That gray and grim December dawn; What quenchless fires of destiny Burned in his breast who led them on! For us, and for futurity, How valorous their Victory! New York American. holu my Announcement is made bythe Adjutant General's office that all preliminary arrangements have been completed for Mississippi's part in the Inaugurationl of President-elect Roosevelt on March 4th in Washington.

Home School Notes Vocational News The Home Vocational Girls of the Home Vocational SchooJ have recen tly completed a unit of work on "Home Improvement" The girls learned that to keep clean, rather than to make clean, is a thoroughly practical working principle. This means daily tidying of the rooms in constant use, distributing the clean ing, especially the heavy kinds, throush the week, and removing dirt not only frequenlty, but thor oughly by methods that have been proved good according to both scientific and practical standards. JU1 members of the household can help only by keeping their own possessions in order and putting things that they use in place in good condition. Almost every housekeeper has a more or less fixed routine of work, which might be called her plan.

Oftentimes, with this plan as a basis, the house cleening can be organized that the housekeeper can save herself much time, and many steps. In these days, when competent labor is at a. high premium, it is wiser economy than ever before to make "'the head save the heels." Not only these lessons, but many others were learned, including. How to make and use varnish remover, floor wax, and furniture polish. We wish to impart these receipts to our readers.

They have proven to be very successful. They are very economical too. Varnish Remover. 1 gal. starch paste cooked until t'i and clear, a drops oi loams, 1 tabls spoons household ammonia.
