Tho custom Of raising cotton and corn

Strawberries on the same plan is new.
The Starkville Farm Gazette gives tho
following experience in that line from
one of its correspondents: by request
| will publish the results of berry
experiment on the share system. The
place is located one mile from the Agri-
cultural College and three miles from
Starkville The farm is an average
piece OF hill land for this county. One
year ago this last spring put out two
acres in strawberries; varieties, Hof-
man, Claud, Porter and Candy. Cost OF
plants, planting and cultivation $50.
All of the work was done by colored
labor and in my absence. This spring
| turned over to Manuel Pearson, col
ored, that piece Of strawberries with
this understanding: He was to gather
the crop, bearing one-half of the ex-
pense of picking, etc, and was to re-
ceiye one-half OF tho profits. In the
future he is to increase the size of the
plot as much as it is thought advisable
and is to cultivate at his expense. Gath
cred this season 3,3i3 quarts; cost OF
picking, 500 s6; gross sales, Sl46. Sc; net

A little clipping going the rounds OF
tho State press is to the effect that South
Mississippi will this year yield larger
amount OF taxes than at any previous
time, while other parts of the Gtate will
show smaller receipts than for four
years past. This intelligerse is the
significance of gr rat deal, and as
figures never lie no dolbt or contradic-
tion can be securely lodged. 1t is a
well-known fact that these Southern, or
Cow countless" as wider termed, have
been constantly forging to tho front,
and the increase in tax receints not
only shows, but conclusively proves
that the shadow of upbuilding is apread-
Ing. This is a great locality of q great
State. Then why should not South
Mississippi be on the upward growth?
Her lands are of the finest and their
products of the greatest; her people OF
the best and their society of the high
est; location of the nest desirable and
climate mequaled. The timbered area,
with its wealth of pino and gulf-traced
border, means large wealth of ma.
terial for progress and wealth. In point
of enterprise and grow tn as the South.
ern States are to tho United States So
the southern counties of the State are
to Mississippi.-Bay st. Louis Echo.
