MISSISSIPPI CROPS
IN GOOD CONDITION
RECENT HEAVY RAINS, HOWEVER,
HAVE. DONE SOME DAMAGE.
STRAWBERRY PROSPECTS
GRATIFYING.

JACKSON. Miss, March 1.-THE re-
ports from the truck farming sections OF
the state, from Crystal Springs, Madison
Station, and other parts of Mississippi.
are to the effect that the crops are an
fairly good condition, though the recent
heavy rains did damage the crops some.
however, not as much as was first ex-
pected.
The prospects for an unprecedented
yield in strawberries is very aattering, as
the strawberry fields are now bouquets OF
white blooms and all of the plants are
in good healthy condition. giving promise
of a good crop in the near future.
In general the condition Of the tomato
crop is reported not as good as usual at
this time of the year, because of the rains
this season, but the farmers from the
truck farming sections are of the opinion
that this crop will improve. The tomato
plants are just emerging from the 'blues.
The peach crop is large and in the finest
possible condition. giving every indica-
ton of a large yield. There viii be an
output this year that well informed peo-
pie predict will break all past records.
All Of the reports are to the effect that
the truck acreage in all of the truck
farming sections has been considerably
increased. and that the crop this year will
be much larger than last.

AGREES WITH MRS. FELTON,
AND BISHOP WARREN GAMBLER

To the Editor of The Journal
Now that Mrs. FELTON, has had her say
on the fawning and flunkeyism incident
to Prince Henrys visit, when one recalls
an article from her pen in May. 1901, en-
titled, do We Hanker for a King"
the wonder is, how she held back and
didn't, like Bill Arp, SAY something be-
fore. But like the talented and cultured
lady that she is, she has politely waited
until the prince has received the fawning
of a republican people, and gone home,
purchance, laughing in his sleeve. and
thinking what fools these mortals be-
Wheeler was covered up under an ava
lanche of abuse for saying things in ad-
vance of the visit and some very few may
think Mrs. FELTON, discourteous in saying
what she does, after the visit-"before
taking and after" But her short and
pointed articles. do We Hanker for
King. the ones in toadying and funkeyism
and Rancy Sniffe in the United States
seem worthy of a place in a scrapbook, to
be read and re-read and as we, the de-
scendants of revolutionary sires think
of our grandfathers, and Lexington and
Bunker Hill and Valley Forge our repub-
lican eyes ought to burst forth with pen
etential tears" Shades of Andrew Jackson
arise!
Again, if our grand old state reaps a rev.
enue from liquor to run her schools, ETC.,
DR.. Parks ought TO be encouraged in
getting an inebriate asylum for those
who fall into temptation.
Then Bishop Gambler in ''Publico- Mania
gives US SOME mighty good readin' -. The
Saturday nights edition of The Journal
is a feast.
In ancient times one old philosopher
laughed at the foilies of mankind-the
other wept about as we'll laugh as cry

SAYS NORTH GEORGIA
CROP is NOT INJURED

To the Editor of The Journal:
In Wednesday evenings Journal 1 no.
tice a report from Commissioner 0. 3.
Stevens, that in his opinion the recent
"cold snap" had materially damaged the
fruit crop, especially in North Georgia. !"
He-further says that 1.-The trees that were
already in bloom would not be injured TO
any great extent because they were bet
ter prepared to stand the cold weather
than those which were just budding out
Now l would like to know upon what
theory he bases that assertion. because
practical experience and facts will not
bear him out in that last remark.
1t is an indisputable fact among prac-
tical fruit growers that a peach is easier
killed when IN full bloom than at any
other stage of its growth. And while the
buds in North Georgia are considerably
smaller the crop owes its escape from the
recent cold snap to the fact that it was
not in full bloom. After very thorough
examination / find only about one-tenth
of the buds injured in this section, and
predict a good crop if we do not have
cold spell later on.
I notice in a dispatch from Griffin. Ca.
that they do not think the fruit injured
there and believe the freeze will do the
fruit good as it will keep the sap back
until all danger of frost is over. There
never was a more erroneous idea in

Off not severe enough to destroy iD has
no effect whatever upon the process of
development, only while it lasts. Peaches
have been known to open in As hours
after passing through a temperature of

second night. with not single bloom
open before the freeze, and trees bore a
good crop. Respectfully,

LET THERE BE JUSTICE
AS WELL AS PEACE

To the Editor of The Journal
In answer to a letter of the 10th. signed
W. r. B., in which he calls attention TO
the sympathies shown by the American
people and press q am glad to note that
the Journal is among their number) to the
Beers. He also asks in the name of st.
Patrick let there be peace. Amen. But
also let there be justice and mercy. He
says that the deeds of the English are be-
Titled and the deeds of the Beers are
magnified.
Let Mr. w. r. B. remember that we
have never received any thing but the
English side of the story, and they are
very meagre. Surely there is another sice
to it. 1 will not answer the many ques-
tons asked by Mr.. English SympathizeI,
but will merely ask the gentleman to fol-
low me back as history tells US to the
days of England's foundation, and then
up to the present war with the Beers
and let's see where the magnanimity OF
our British cousins come in.
Did they show it in conquering Scot
land? No.
Did they show any of it in the enslaying
or Ireland? The Irish say no.
If Mr.. w. r. B. is an Englishman I sim
cerely beg pardon. If he is not will ask
him to get good history of the colonies
and study carefully the policy of our
mother, not cousins, country towards us
when we were struggling for a God given
right, and see If England showed any of
her good qualities and mercies in dealing
with US as the, gentleman predicts she
will show TO the Beers.
So far the English seem to have had
about all they can do to keep her treasury
filled much less furnish the English SOL
diers with supplies to say nothing of what
they furnish the Beers.
Brother, the race is not to the swift, nor
the battle to the strong.

EXCHANGES.
To Determine Rich MIX.


National Stockman-
When there Is a near prospect OF a pref
~ high standard for milk being estab-
lished, IL is OF some interest TO learn the
conclusions reached bearing on the ques-
ton as TO some OF the factors determining
the richness OF milk.
l. A COW yields as rich milk as a heifer
as she will as a mature COW.
2 The milk Is as rich in the first month
OF the period Of lactation as ii will be
later. except perhaps during the last few
weeks OF the milk flow, when the COW is
rapidly drying OF.

Value of Cotton Seed to the :.
South Over S4O,OOO,OOO

Some facts and figures compiled by the
Boston News Bureau concerning the
value of the cotton seed product of the
south and the uses to which it is now
put are of considerable interest.
Formerly cotton seed was thrown away.
Stringestnt laws were in force in most
cotton producing states REBUILDING its de-
struction to avoid the poisoning of
streams, or the destruction of cattle or
of agricultural lands.
In 1870 practically all the cotton seed
oil that was made was exported, and its
total value was under $4,000. In 1880 there
were forty-five mills, exporting nearly
7,O00.0 900 gallons of oil, valued at $3,225.OO0.
In 1890 there were 357 mills, crushing p
479, 1856 tons of seed. producing $685., 729
gallons, valued at 81, 390,674 besides by
products, that brought up the value to
S42.4 ,S35. These are the value at point of
production. OF the above, the exports of
oil alone were 49,356,741 gallons, valued
at SIG, 541, 321. The amount of seed crushed
was barely one-half of the available sup
ply and in "short crop year.
The vst increase of the business has
not kept pace with the increase in the
demand for this pure vegetable oil, which
is rapidly becoming as important to man
kind as has become the lint or cotton, -
and there seems to be almost no limit
to the uses of and needs for it. So, too,
with the ever increasing by-products.
Some figures will illustrate this. One

as to the quality of the milk. While the
COWS are at pasture the milk is neither
richer nor poorer on the average, than
the milk yielded when the cows are on
winter feed.
4. The milk of a fair sized dairy herd
varies little I'm composition from day to
day. and radical variations in this re-
spect should be viewed with suspicion.

Milk Rapidly.

Il is generally agreed among dairymen
that a COW never does her best at the
pail unless MIXED rapidly. and the more
RAPIDLY the greater the quantity. There
fore, not only should the mixer be an ex-
pert, but the cows anatomy should be
such as TO cause her TO relinquish the flu
ID with facility. The foregoing sentence
is constructed I'm imitation Of British
Journalism. Its equivalent in America
would be, the COW should milk easily.

JUDGE HEPBURN I
MEETS A FROST

The much advertised speech Of
Judge w. M. Hepburn scheduled to
come off at the Opera House Satur-
day evening, was pulled off in a
manner that caused the republicans
hearts to sink into their shoes, and
made them see such visions of dem
ocratic victory as caused the marrow
in their bones to freeze. By actual
count there were 1875 persons in the
hall, and at least 25 of them were
democrats. This in hall capable
of holding between $50 and 400 peo-
pie, is not encouraging The gentle
man, who lives in the state of Wash
ington and runs for Office in Idaho,
began telling the same old story that
he told here two and four years ago
about horses being so cheap that they
were sold to canning factories under
the Cleveland administration. and
how the great republican party had
caused war between England and
the South African republics, and the
United States and Cuba and the Phil
hpines SO that the horse raiser could
get good price for them. Jumped
onto the two mile limit law and
alighted with both feet on the sheep
man, said that he was for the rancher
first, last and all the time, that the
rancher should be given every ad-
vantage and protected in every way
against the man who owns sheep and
wanted to see the law enforced to the
fullest extent. He said the demo-
cratic state administration were petty
larceny thieves, that they stole
chickens and hogs from the peniten-
tlary, aud wound up his harangue by
advising the republicans to vote for
republican candidates for the legisla-
ture, as they would elect s'republi-
cam to the senate. There Pie got in
lick against Boss Borah, whose re-
cord in politics is not as consistent
as would please Mr.. Hepburn, his
opponent.
