HALLOCK, Mimi, Aug. 29.-The
crop outlook in this vicinity was never
more favorable. Harvest is about fin
ished and in few more days thresh-
ing will be in full blast. The acreage
in this county is larger than ever be-
fore, ard the yield will reach an aver
age of seventeen bushels. There has
been but little damage done to wheat
this year by hail, smut or rust, and
owing to the early harvest not kerr

cradle barley and some wheat has al

is of the very best. Farmers look for
a larger percentage Of profit from the

GREENVILllE TINES
THE COMING CROP.

No better text for a treatise on The
subject Of the coming crop can be
found than the words of President
Lane:
lyon will be better of with a seven
million bale crop at ten cents, supple
mented by ample food crops, than
with = ten million bale crop selling at
cents" In this sentence lies the
whole gist OF the matter; and to no
section of the entire south does 1t APP
ply with so much force and meaning
AZ 10 the Yazoo Delta. Farming IN
this section haI always been somewhat
gambling transaction. Our plant
ers have always scorned small things
in their effort to attain sudden fol-
tune by some grand coup-a feat
which is only possible with cotton d
such prices So it broughtin 1869 That
wear cannot be forgotten BY the cot
ton plauters, who have ever since been
systematically engaged in killing the
goose to seize all the golden eggs at
once. Two years ago an immense
corn crop was raised, and at once the
gamblers fever made itself manifest
There was supposed to be immediate
fortune in the corn crop. Vast guam
titles of it were stored up for sale,
and when # failed to bring a price
high enough to pay for shipping 1t
many of the producers were seized
with disgust aud declared they would
raise no more. The fortune that corn
brought WAS not individual wealth,
but such general ease, comfort aud
prosperity as the country had not
known for years before The present
comparatively independent condition
of the farmers ia directly attributable
to that crop-to the fact that, driven
TO desperation by yearly disappoint-
ments in cotton they were forced to
resort to raising their own supplies
because there WAS not money enough
in Gotten to buy them. The result
speaks for itself. Iu two years the
planters of this county have become
self supporting, and have more ready
money with cotton at or 5 centE than
they have been accustomed to have
when they got 10 or z for it and
speut It all for meat and corn. A
farmer cannot expect to grow rich.
His occupation is not the kind from
which fortunes are made. What be
can dois to be the most Independent
and solvent Of all men, king on his
own domain, aud tho bappieSt ofman-
kind as long as he is contented, Thls
condition can easily be attained by
our farmers if they will take heed to
the Lessons Of the last two years, and
repeat, in their planting operations Of
this spring, the same plan which re-,
suited in such unexpected benefit
from the operations of 1886.

there may be no reason for any such
refusing to join. AS soon as there are
a sufficient number of members in any
county, or in any thickly settled por-

viii be formed to push the work in that
locality.
While the members will be asked to
pay no dues or assessments the posses
sion Of adequate funds is absolutely
necessary to insure a successful ter
minatiOn of the work of the league.
Printing, postage and clerical work
must be paid for, and this money must
be raised by subscriptions To this
end all advocates Of good roads are
earnestly urged to contribute literally.
This request is urged both upon the
ground Of their public interest in the
welfare of the State, and upon their
individual interest. The Improvement
of the public highways will attract
tourists and settlers, and the amount
of wealth brought into the State Will
be limited only by the improved condi-
uons of the roads.
will enhance the value of the products
of the farmer, and reduce his expenses;
they viii increase his ability to patron
ize the merchant and the manufacturer
The land owner will find the demand
for his land increased and his holdings
thereby improved in value. The ma
terial condition of every person in the
community, whether he drives over the
roads OF not, will be bettered.
Considered from the point of view
of the community or the individual
there is no investment that will pay
better than improved highways, and
the money contributed to enable the
league to carry on its work will do
more to secure this end than could be
accomplished by the same amount Of
money invested in any other way.
1T is estimated that $1,000 will be
required to enable the league to carry
on its campaign up to the enactment
of the laws at the next session of the
legislature The money viii be eX-
pended under the direction of the Board
of Directors, and the commercial and
professional standing of those who con-
stitute the board is a guarantee that
it will be wisely and economically
spent. They are animated in this work,
not by self-interest, but by sole de-
sire to promote the public welfare.
For these reasons you are earnestly
requested to fill out the inclosed blank
