that Mississippi can be made as great
success as a cattle and fruit States as a
cotton State; THAT food for cattle grazing
and winter food is cheaper than else
where; that the lands that were consider
ed worn out are splendid grazing lands.
Fields that have not been cultivated for
years are now being inclosed by wire
fencing and herds of cattle put on them.
The ordinary Indian corn, cow pea, sor-
Ghum, cane, ETC., are being utilized for
ensIlsge and feed. The ordinary or ma
tive grasses are equal to any others when
cut and handled properly, and it is enti-
erly unnecessary TO introduce foreign
grasses. In fact, the native grasses are
the best and afford greater variety. The
people OF Mississippi are now awakening
TO the fact that If they will Just look be-
yond a cotton row. they have a State
which will produce not only what they
nave always grown but almost every
tning else, and her capacity for diversiti-
ca agriculture and industries is mex
haustible."
Gen. Stephen D. Lee is a tall soldierly
handsome man about 80 wears old.
Trained to military life and having given
10 that profession the earlier year of his
manhood, he has, since 1865. devoted
himself to the peaceful arts of agricul-
! cure. Before be was called to the Presi-
dency of this college, four or five years
ago, Gen. Lee was firm believer in the
m0urntul old tallacy that Southern
FARMER could raise nothing but cotton
with profit. He had seen the lands grad
ually exhausted under this murderous
policy and the farmers living from hand
20 mouth, never advancing or accum-
ulaung. always at the dsheartening
dead level OF sttgnatiOn and deDendence;
vet he dWelt in an atmosphere Of iealty to
this system, and had not in his expert
ence heard { questioned. He was among
those, however, who first began to i'm
peach its integrity and to discuss its over
throw. The esiaOli Shment Of the Missis-
sppi Agricultural and Mechanical College
was the practical result of this move
ment. 1t has been in existence only a few
years, but in that brief period it has
shown Misslsslppians that their State Is
blessed with bOundless resources; tnat
1t offers rich rewards to every form of
agricultural industry, and rejOices in a
innate of uDsurpa sed healthfulness.
The college farm has demonstrated the
capacity of the State for garden
ing, fruit growing, stock raising,
dairy farming. The college is
turning out every year hundreds Ofin-
telligent Olng men, trained in all the de-
tails Of diversified agriculture. Gen.
Lee has every right to be proud of the
great work he is conducting, and hopeful
OF the result, not only for Mississippi, but
for the entire Southwest.

THE MISSISSIPPI PHILOSOPHER
Au Authority on Overflows Predicts
the Greatest Southern Flood on Re
cord.

tho Greatest Southern Flood on Re
cord.
From the 81. Louis Republican.
HELENA, ARK, April 20.-For the pur-
pose of giving your readers clear and
conversational river report a correspon.
dent had an interview to-day with JAS.
b. Miles, the undsputed river authority
at this place. it must be understood
that all reports claiming authority have
Mr.. Miles as that authority; also all fears
OF overflows which have been ex-
pressed have been caused by assertions
made by him. Many old citzens
here claim that he has never tailed in his
calculations. MIR. Miles furnishes the
following figures as the basis for his rea-
sons for saying that the water will reach
higher point at this place about May 3
than has ever been known before, unless
the eastern leyees break above before
then. If his calculations are wrong
then there IS no reasonable ground for
fear OF an overflow. The figures are given
in round numbers.
In 1882 the river went to 47.2 feet at this
point. 1t reached 81 feet 10 inches at
Cairo when highest. which made the
amOuntO of water passing Cairo per second
100000 cubic feet. Before the river had
reached this point, however, the leVees
were UTOktu dDONe anu DelOW GCleud. anu
900 cubic feet per second poured out
above Helena through the crevasses on
the Mississippi side, leaving 100000
cubic feet TO pass Helena, of which
amount 100000 poured out through the
breaks below here.
High water mark here, or 47.2 feet, will
pass only 100000 cuoic feet per second;
10000 cubic feet will ra Sc the river here
foot. 1t is now A feet, or 3 feet inches
below high water, and the levees are all
up. Subtract 100000 from the amount
passing Caro- in 1882. and it gives us
100000 per second passing there now,
with the river at 81 feet.
The sunk lands had more water in them
in 1882 to begin with Than they had this
time, so | Will allow 10000 cubic feet TOR
the difference. This still leaves 1,5G0. 500
feet to pass, or 100000 more than enough
to reach high water mark; or, in otner
words, four feet more than in 1882. We
will certainly have a disastrous floed
from here to the Gulf on the west side Of
the river
