WOMAN AGENT TO SHOW MEANS OF SAVING WHEAT

The demonstrations to be conducted In Wayne county by Miss Nina Short, home demonstration agent, during the next two or three weeks, will be for the purpose of showing the housewives how they may use potatoes in the making of war breads, and bow they can thus effect a saving of wheat flour. Mashed potatoes can be used in place of part flour. Miss Short said, or in place of other cereals. "Very good bread and cakes can be made with potatoes and other substitutes without using any wheat flour at all," Miss Short said. "I shall be glad to supply the women of Wayne county with excellent recipes for these edibles if they desire." At a meeting of representatives of all women's clubs in Wayne county, to be held Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock in the office of the county superintendent, the- Wayne County Better Homes association will be effected. The purpose of this organization is to cooperate with the home demonstration agent for the betterment of homes in general. , It has been an erroneous belief that Miss Short's work will include only domestic science, but she also takes in gardening, child welfare, poultry raising, butter making, etc. In fact any kind of work that the women may be called upon to do in the home. Her work is not restricted to the women who are members of the association, but includes all homes in Wayne county wherever services may be desired. Mrs. Forrest Meek, president of the Wayne County "Home Economics club, will preside at the meeting Saturday. Miss Short will make an address on the work she expects to do in the county. Several of the conservation cook books that have been endorsed by the food administration are still on hand in Miss Short's office and can be pur

chased from her by women of the county for the nominal fee of 15 cents.

These books contain a large number

of war saving recipes.

Opposition to the federal program has almost ceased, and the South Is looking forward to the day when she will be the chief stock raising belt of the United States.

HOW MISSISSIPPI FREED HERSELF OF TICKS. Flff. 1 shows Mississippi as it was in 1910 entire state filled with cattle ticks and tinder quarantine. Yg. 2 shows the state in 1916. Over half the counties cleaned of ticks. . In several other counties (indicated by shaded portions) eradication work was in progress, but many counties were still "black." Fig. 3 shows Mississippi In 1318 entire state cleaned up and released from quarantine. From that time to this, the United States Department of Agriculture has waged a steady fight against this scourge. Its weapens were poison and starvation; it poisoned the ticks by dipping the infected herds, and starved tlu'in by keeping stock out of infected pastures. But this required the cordial and intelligent co-operation of the farmers, and for a long time that co-operation was hard to secure. Indeed, there was active opposition in many cases; only a few years ago some dipping vats were blown up by dynamite in one of the rural counties of Mississippi. This great achievement, which extended free-tick territory clear to the Gulf of Mexico, Is of immense Importance to the South as it inaugurates a new era In live stock raising In the Cotton Belt. It Is equally important to the northern cattle grower as it will open a great field for blooded stock from the North which has been kept out of theSonth because of the tick.
