The Capabilities Of the Prairie Bet OF
land in East Mississippi.
West Point Leader. !

CORRESPONDENCE West Point Leader
This long. narrow belt of land extends
from Tupelo Lee county, on the north, to
ahunualak. Noxubee county, on the SOUTH
a distance of some 70 or 80 miles. ItVaries
from Is to 20 miles in width.
ManifestIy the unmistakable evidences
point TO the significant fact, that IN the near
future this belt will be converted inIo
nasture lands By sowing it down IN clover
and other grasses and the raising OF stocA;
For centuries past it has been demonstrated
in Furope. that this kind of lands Is more
valuable than all others. Nearly three
hundred years ago, the capitalists OF Eng
land principaIly of the nobility, bought up
tbousands al acres of wild lands tor a mere
pittanee. They were in a great measure
level fat lands. interspersed with Marshes
and for agricultural purposes, were aDSoi9te-
Iv valueless. They wisely concluded that
nv converting them into pasture landS,
they would acquire great value. NOR were
they mistaken. These lands are now the
richest in the kingdom, and cannot be
bought at prices varying from Sl,VOO 10
81 500 Der acre. These figures are quite IN
contrast with the prices Of the blue grass
lands around Lexington, Kentucky, worth
from 500 to $50 per acre, and IN SUI
greater contrast with the iands III o1i99i9
sippi. worth from s. TO $40 per acre.
While much may be due to the great dit
ference in prices in greater experience, s9
perior methods and in the system OF iand
lord and tenant that prevails ID Europe
vet the secret Of the superiority OF pastuT,
land. above all Others, lies in nu. shell

the case. In early spring, while the men

April; then will come the cash money
from this silk factory in exchange for the
cocoons, and this vii help a good deal
to enlarge the cotton and other crops, for
we insist on this point; Silk culture is
only an important addition to general
farming.
The most important question now is !;

there any home market for them There
is the Corinth, Miss, Silk Company
ready to buy, at Lyons prices, all good

able to raise silk worms successfully.
