Pacific Salmon Swims Over 1300 Miles In 44 Days New York Aug. 2-Evidence that certain species of fish travel great distances from their breeding areas is shown by a Pacific salmon. After being marked with a metal tag by the U. S.
Bureau of Fisheries in Alaskan waters, the salmon was caught 1,300 miles away 14 days later in a Siberian stream, according to report received by the American Game Protective Association. For more than a decade the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries has been carrying on its marking experiments, using metal tags each of which bears a serial number. Fishermen who return these tags to the bureau receive from 25 cents to $1 depending on the specie of fish.
Marking experiments have shown that regardless of how much salmon may indulge the wanderlust they always return to home waters for the spawning season. Another way of marking is to remove certain fins in such a manned that no confusion with unmarked fish can result. City TO THE SERVICE OF FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 1930.

R. E. Hawking Ruined By Early Morning Blaze. BARBER SHOP ALSO SUFFERS DAMAGE Sanitary Barber Shop Considerably Damaged By Water. The fire department answered two calls last night.
The first one came shortly after one o'clock when the entire upper floor of the building on Main street, owned by Mrs. Alice McGuire and occupied by the dental office of Dr. R. E. Hawkins, was completely destroyed.
The valiant work of the firemen kept the flames from spreading to the lower floor and the Sanitary Barber shop was damaged by water only. Dr. Hawkins had, as many are aware, one of the most up-to-date and modern dental offices in the state. His fixtures were valued at $8,000 with insurance of $5,250. The building was insured for 000 with about a $1,500 loss to the upper floor.

Crops Suffer From Dry Spell Hill Section of County Hurt Badly By Extended Drought. The writer in company with County Agent L. I. Jones made a visit to the hill section of Yazoo county Tuesday afternoon, taking in that section between here and Benton and the Fugates neighborhood, where we found the feed crops, hay and corn, practically destroyed by the continued drouth which has existed for the past eighty or ninety days. In fact, the heavy rains of May 9, 10 and 11, which were the heaviest in the history of the county, and whien washed away much of the crops that had already been planted, has been followed since that time with such little rainfall that in some sections feed crops have been tirely destroyed, and even pastures burned up by the hot rays of the sun until grazing of cattle is an utter impossibility.
However, cotton, which requires of sunshine, seems to be holding its own, and especially is this true of the crop of D. L. Edson in the Fugates community, where we saw on his place about 450 acres of the prettiest cotton ever raised in the hill sections of the county. About 200 acres of this cotton had to be replanted after the heavy rains in May, and the crop as a whole is a beautiful sight to look upon. Mr.
Edson has used three in the cultivation of this crop of cotton, besides which he has about 125 acres in corn, raised nis own truck, has a splendid garden, a yard full of chickens, and has hogs and cattle on the run. He is a hard worker himself, and one cannot look upon his beautiful place without noting the touch of a master hand and mind. We predict in him another "master farmer" for Yazoo county, which will make our third, A. P. B.
