NoTE-The Committee recommended that
in future there be separate premiums foI
bottom and upland corn, grain and cotton
so as not to discourage upland farmers from
connection, which is now the tendency
and further that the State, North and South

Meridian Railroad-that north of this line
being much better corn and grain coun'
try than south of it.
