Dunlap of Chicago, who visited Mississippi
several years ago, said he thought the
level culture of cotton with cultivators, as
prac.iccd in corn raising, on the Western
prairies, was IL better plan than the Southern
plan, and the results of the work OF the
Kansas men have verified his judgment.
David Dickson, Of Sparta, Georgia. one of
the NEST successful cotton growers in the
South, has practiced the flat culture, or
Northern method, for many years, His
farm is an upland, thin soil, but he plows
deep ard raises more cotton from an acre
than the bottom farmers produce. The
Kansas farmers arc pleased with Missis-
sippi. One Of them said the climate and
soil was the best he had ever seen, 1t is
fine stock and grass growing country. A
better corn country than any other, and
the corn is Of a better quality. mississippi
is the best State for oats except New York,
Of the climate in Mississippi the Kansas
men say it is not so hot as in more north
ern States. And thus they graphically
sum up; mo insect pests except the boil
worm; no horse.ilics compared to the
North; no ileas; no flies to trouble stock;
no nets needed for horses; never have seen
a fly yet on COW when milking her; can
make more Off 10 acres in Mississippi than
100 elsewhere; no chills; had chils in
Kansas" In short, these men practically
demonstrate that the country is healthy,
the soil fertile, and that there is almost en-
tire exemption from insect pests When
the true character Of the soil and climate
Of this S ction becomes known in the North
there will unquestionably follow very
large immigration into Mississippi and
West Tnnnessee Of the best class Of farmnrs.

demands that beds shonld be made soon
after being vacated. Letitbe remembered
that more than three tiiths Of the solids
