that there is nothing at Mcneil
except bed of sand foot deep,
and that the land was owned by
the railroad.
Although the writer was not
on that committee, he visited
Mcneil on one occasion. The
soil is much less sandy than the
Leaf River fat lands about Hat

people clay land. 1t is the very
best grade of long leaf pine land

We do not think the railroad ever
owned this land; but a large

all to be used for experimenting

The position that we took was
that the State needed no dona-

been located in that portion of
the pine region where the COM

ter of the land it would result in
the greatest good to the farms
in that region. The above arti-

in what We say. We reiterate
what we have often said before

The faults are in the systems of

Protection for Babies

1t is not generally known that
in France it, is forbidden under
severe penalties for anyone to
give infants under one year old
any form of soltd food unless
such be ordered by u written
prescription signed by legally
qualified medical man. Nurses
are also forbidden to use in rear
ing OF infants confided to their
care at any time or under any
pretext whatever any nursing
bottle provided with rubber tube.
Several other and equally strin-
gent laws hive recently been
enacted by the French govern
ment. which, despairing Of obtain.
ing any increase in the birth rate
in their land, are now turning
their attention to the saving of
the few children that are born.

Cotton.

The Agricultural Bureau has
made it's report for November
and places the crop at 10, loo, 900
bales. $4,000 bales higher than
Mr. Neill's highest estimate. To
say the report struck the differ

soon regained Is points and spots
we're quoted unchanged at 9 lilo
when the days business was over.
Even the cotton spectators doubt
its correctness. The department
adds 8 points to its final figures
from its reporters, as safeguard
against too small a report. Take
this from the present report and
it is said the figures would agree
with Mr.. Neill's estimates.
Thousands, yes, millions Of dol.
lars were lost to the farmers and
merchants by this report. All
estimates Of the cotton crop are
simply guesses and poor ones at
that. The Department Of Agri-

seems to attach to certain circum:

ity in certain bad years, that
we cannot account for, and
there are many of those kind OF
localities this year. Mississippi
is the worst situated State in
the cotton belt in the hill region,
Marvelously fine crops for the
season are being made in portions
of the Delta, many averaging
a bale or more to the acre.
Corn next year will cost a good
price, and we will propose the
following ration and miniature
both for economy and to prevent
the feed being used except for
horse feed: One quart ground
grits, one quart cotton seed meal
and two quarts Of wheat brand
at q feed. Mix in bulk 80 that
it will represent the above
amount to each gallon of feed
which would be one bushel grits,
one bushel cotton seed meal and
two bushels of wheat bra nd-six
and one. half bushels should feed
q mule one month. We have
known corn to sell for $3.50 per
bushel in this country before
there was any railroad to bring
it here from the north. The fell
low who had it in bad years got
his price for it, and the fellow
who paid that price for it tried
ever afterwards to raise it. The
above mixture we believe will
prove a better feed at all times
than corn alone. The fattening
properties of the cotton seed
meal will make up for the small
quantity of corn, and the mixture
will not pail on the appetite of the
horse as soon as corn alone. OF
course we mean the horse must
have a full feed of good sweet
hay, this he should have access
to at all times.

Good Part of the Business Portion
Is Wiped Out.
Fort Pierre, on the 28th inst, mel with
the most evere fire loss ever experienced
by that town. The fire originated in a
building owned by William Hayes, and he
and his wife barely escaped. Its origin
was supposed to be a defective furnace,
and the total loss is between $4,000 and
$4,000, with only $500 insurance, which
was on the harness stock of Robert Bark
ley. The buildings burned composed
practically all the business portion of the
town on the south side of Main Street, and
as the town has absolutely no fire protec-
ton the fire had to burn itself out, and
only ceased when the end of the row of
buildings wa reached.
On account Of lack of fire protection
there was practically no insurance, as the
companies did not desire to take risks.
William Hayes was the most yer loser,
his loss on three buildings and contents
amounting to about $1,000
Other losses were:
A. G. Van Meter, building, $1,000; Mrs.
G. E. Ludlow, building, $500; Hopkins &

Immense Tract of Rice Land ST.
cured by a Syndicate.
Houston. Tex: An Iowa syndicate,
headed by ID. b. Hurd and A. ii. Mcycy.
has secured an option on 1924 acres of
rice land in Jefferson County for which
they have agreed to pay s1s5,OOO. The
same parties also secured q ninety
day option on another tract, which
makes the total transaction amount
to the purchase of 14,2b4 acres,
to cost them S225.OOO. The gentle
men are acting as trustees for a syndi-
cate now being organized in Iowa to 80
into the rice business on a large scale.
This syndicate is projected with "a paid up
capital Of 100000, and in addition to
raising rice the land is to be cleaned and
drained for farms. The plan has pro-
crossed so far that the trustees say the
options or the land were necessary to COM
pletion of the organization. Farmers from
Iowa are to be brought to Texas to do the
work and they will be stockholders. Ger
titled checks have been deposited for s per
cent. OF the purchase money.
