Mississippi Honest
Price of Lands in Mississippi.

Land can be purchased in Mississippi at
from one to thirtyRdollars per acre accord.
inc To improvements and location. These
lands sold before the war between the States,
at from five to one hundred dollars per
acre they will again be greatly enhanced
in value, when good, hardy and industrious
Immigrants are induced to settle In the
State. To purchase these lands at the
nominal value they are now held would be
one of the best investments within our
knowledge.
Many persons from the Northern and
Western States ask the question: why is 1t,
if Mississippi n such good State for i'm
migrants, there are so many farms for sale
The answer is easily given. Before the war
the principal wealth of the landowners,
consisted in slaves as property. The slaves
have been emancipated and large plantations
have been left on the hands of their owners,
without labor or means to work them
probably, hence, nearly every proprietor is
willing to sell 8 large portion of his lands
to obtain the means to work the balance.
MANY landowners who paid before the war
from $40 to $50 per acre for their lands, are
now willing to sell at from two TO ten dol:
lars per acre, in order to induce good and
industrious citizens come into our State.
To all who wish to obtain q good and
permanenf home in Mississippi, 8 hearty
Welcome win be extended By all her best
citizens Many Northern and Western
men, who have settled iR our State with
but very few exceptions, are well pleased
with their prospects and think they have
made valuable investments.

there could be enough Of public spirit and

TO induce them TO make known TO the world
what we have here for immigrants, they'd

JACKSON, Miss, April "a, 1875
To MAJ T. q. VAL.
DEAR SIR-Yours of the 28d inst. Zee
questing a sketch of the Public Schools of
Mississippi, is TO hand.
The present system of public free schools
was adopted in 1870 based ou the following
Isection Of the Constitution, adopted tho
preceding year;
"As the stability of u Republican fofni of
Government depends mainly upon the virtue
and Intelligence Of the people, 30 shall bo
the duty of the Legislature To- encourage. by
all suitable means, the promotion of intel
lectual, scientific, moral and agricultural
improvement, by establishing "a uniform
system of free public schools by taxation
or otherwise, for all children between tho
ages of (5) five and CD twenty-one, and
shall, as soon as practicable, establish
schools Of higher grade"
The system is administered by "a State
Board Of Education, a State Superintendent
Of Education County Superintcudcnts ~
Education and Local Board Of Trustee.
The Constitution provides for a common
school fund, which shall consist of the
proceeds Of all lands belonging To thc State,
all lands vested in the State by eschcat or
purchase, or forfeiture for taxes, and the
clear proceeds of fines collected in the scv-
eral counties for breach Of the penal laws.

A Northern Farmers Experience
in South Mississippi.

McComb City Intelligencer.l
Last Tuesday, accompanied by Messrs.
Causey and Craft, we paid a visit to the
Quin plantation, upon the Bogue Chitto,
some seven miles east Of McComb City, re.
Gently purchased by Mr.. Smithmeir, of
Vincennes, Indiana. We found Mr.. s. and
his stalwart sons hard at work harvesting
their oat crop, aad met with cordial re-
ception. After doing ample justice to the
already-spread dinner, we accompanied the
proprietor in a walk over his farm. His
crop of Oats-of which : he has about 100
acres-is very fine, and though sown late,
promised a good average yield, while his
corn and cotton, of which he has fair
proportion, though he contends that he has
only planted enough of the latter-45 acres
to enable him to purchase a few ''luxu-
res," are very promising Mr.. Smithmeir
is using all the latest improved farming i'm
pliments - cutting his oats with the
champion Harvester and using the
Walding cultivator in his corn, doing
away almost entirely with the hoe. We
learned that a number of his neighbors are
also using these improved labor-saving inn
plements with the most satisfactory results
Several of them have joined with Mr.. S.
in purchasing a new Vibrator Threshing
Machine, at an expense of over 5000, capa-
BILE of threshing from 500 to 800 bushels of
oats per diem, and for which they expect
to find full employment in the neighbor-
hood. Mr.. S. has also some very fine stock
upon his place, especially his horses, of
which he has several span, and some mag
nificent, full-blooded Poland-China hogs.
He expects to make fine stock, and stock
raising, speciality, being fully persuaded
that he will realize far greater and mo re
certain profits from this source than can
possibly be made from cotton.
He is quite enthusiastic over his expert
ence so far in Southern farming Says he
believes that farmers can realize double the
profits from the same investments of time,
labor and capital here that they can in the
North, and thinks that no more inviting
fields is offered for immigration than the
productive lands of South Mississippi He
also told us that the health of himself and
family had been uninterrupted since his
arrival, and that he was cordially received
by all, and is living in intimate and daily
social business intercourse with his neigh
bors. We should have stated, that though
this is Mr.. Smithmeir's first seasons expe-
rience in Southern farming, yet his son-in-
law, Capt McMullen, now living ia his
immediate neighborhood, has been down
here for two seasons, and fully coincides
with Mr.. S. in his views.

Byram. Kinds County, Mari.
McCoMB CITY, Mss, April "a, 1873.

- ~AAS'', 1910
In compliance with your request, / give
you my experience with the Byram Marl
analysis: A per cent. lime 81 carbon, and
rich in phosphates). l believe it to be a
permanent and valuable fertilizer; in the
crude state retaining moisture in the ground
and keeping off insects, bugs, cut-worms,
borers, ants, ETC. Corn, cotton, sugar cane,
Irish potatoes, onions, English peas, cab
bages, beans, oats, and everything on which
have tried the Mari, have been greatly
benefited by its use-either when used
alone or composted with pine straw, muck,
trash, scraping of yards, fence corners, lots,
stables and top soil-say ten in weight to
one of mari. Five or ten dollars outlay will
enable every man of industry and skill to
form bank of his own at home, to draw
upon at leisure
The mari is composed of mussel shells,
debris of fish and seals, with bones, and is
rich in animal matter, and immense beds of
it are found at Byram, on the Chicago, St.
Louis and New Orleans Railroad, close to
the tracks and conveniently located for
handling and shipping. Mr.. Lewis, the
owner of the beds atRyram, has shipped
lareg quantities of it to different portions of
the State, and our planters are realizing the
fact that valuable fertilizer can be obtain
ed within our own State, and at small cost,
and equal if not superior to the most expen-
sive of the imported commercial fertilizers.

COLUMBUS, MISS, May, 1873.
To Maj. E. q. Wall:
DEAR SIR-In compliance with request
of your Mr.. Adams, l will furnish you a
succinct account with my experiments with
various grasses and forage plants.
| have been farming in Mississippi since
1858, and in that time have experimental
with most Of the grasses.
We have quite diversity of soils, and if
properly studied and planted to forage crops
adapted to them, can say are as certain Of
satisfactory yield as any part of the United
States.
With an experience Of twenty years in
the cultivation of red clover and lucerne,
regard them as certain as any crop 1 have
ever grown. Blue grass, red top, tall
meadow oat grass, meadow fescue and Der
muda, all grow well on land adapted to
them. At this writing, orchard grass and
clover are ready for the mower, so is lucerne I;
of the latter, three crops Of hay may be Ia
ken in year. The yield Of clover is from
II to 2 tons at q cutting. Bermuda fnr-
nishes grazing from April to December.
Very respectfully,
@. +. SHERRoD.
