FROM THE COUNTY AGENT: We will ship Hogs from Ackerman Wednesday, Nov. 12. This means that you will have to have your Hogs at the K. C. Stock Pens by 9 a.m. If you cannot get there by that time, bring them Tuesday evening and bring feed for the night. You had better not bring them if they are not listed with me. - I have already listed 45 Turkeys for November shipment. This is a new field that we are trying, but I am sure that it will be to your advantage to list your Turkeys. - It is my desire to furnish every farmer in the county with Farmers Bulletin No. 913 “Killing Hogs and Curing Pork.” I have tried the recipes for curing meat that it gives and I say to you that my meat was worth just twice as much to me as it was cured by the old way. - The cotton season is about over, but if any famer or merchant in the county wants their cotton classed by a Government expert you can get it done at a cost of 50 cents a bale by sending sample to J. G. Martin, Vicksburg, Miss. or Karl Neal, Greenville, Miss. It will be educational to you and should help you to sell it, if you have a good grade of cotton.
FOOTBALL: The light Ackerman football team easily defeated the French Camp Academy team by a score of 21 to 0. Although the locals were outweighed considerably it never seemed to put the home boys to any trouble. They went through the heavy French Camp line repeatedly and held the ball in the visitors territory during the entire game. The visitors fought hard to break through the Ackerman line and both sides showed signs of hostility toward each other throughout the contest. The locals will meet the strong West Point eleven Friday, Nov. 7th in what is expected to be the best game of the year. West Point already holds a victory over Ackerman and the locals are confident of evening it up with them. A big crowd is expected from all over the county and accommodations will be made for everybody.
