Instead of forever preach ing to the students not to do certain things, the idea fs to prevent crime by keeping the people occupied at some legitimate business or occupa iton. Judge Finley called the at tention of the jury and incidentally the entire assembly to the importance of growing more beef cattle. He read a clipping from a paper which gives statistics that are not only in- r terespng but valuable as well, which go to show that the demand for beef cattle will continue to grow and that it would pay our people to look more into this matter as a livelihood. We are publishing below the clipping. This is in line with another article appearing in this issue from an ex pert on hog raising. Certainly Mad ison County would do well to con sider thoroughly these matters, ae our mountains here are most for tunately adapted to these industries.

Doctor, I dpn't think you realize the many advantages your country possesses over other sections and they are natural for the production of live stock. This has been proven to me more in these two last trips over about 2000"miles, and all in the South, than ever before and I have transacted business in every, State in the Union At oirfof bvr mfbHif sales, hogs were shipped to nineteen different States, besides shipping? ihogs the year around, so I am going to try and show you a few of the natural advantages you have which do not exist in other places generally.

You have a wonderful countrv and I want to see it used for what is is adapted for and would like to be lo cated in such a country, as it seems to me the advantages are so great.

We wish the Board could have an independent investigation made why there was such a crash in Florida because of the Mediterranean fly situation.

Restoring Idle Acres Remarkable results in the restoration of waste lands are being accomplish ed by the intelligent use of explo sives.

We believe our readers will be entertained in having some ad vance information in regard to law. custom and facts involved ..... The said Merrill offered to the said Roberts one certain calf, at that time and still feeding in said Merrill's pas tures. Said Roberts formally ac cepted the offer. According to cus tom in Cow Trading, this was a clos ed bargain, without condition, war ranty or reservation. Said Merrill was thereupon entitled to receint of the purchase price, in real money. It seems, however, that the said Roberts bethought himself belatedly of the expense of transferring said calf rrom Merrill's ranch to his own and good clean water, as stagnant water the said Roberts attempted to retro breeds disease and- the mosquito from the deal, unless Merrill would thrives, the greatest of germ car- i deliver the animAl which Afeill a. riers both on people and stock and Iclined to do It so han.
