TO RECLAIM RICH LAND.
High Price of Cotton Causes Agricultural
Department. to Look After Wastes
In Miaaissfppi.

Washington, May 26.-With cotton
soaring above ten cents and touch
ing only the high places attention
has been forcibly directed to the pos
sibilities of extending the cultivation
of this staple crop, the demand for
which fully keeps pace with the in
creasing supply. 1t is not generally
known that Mississippi, that great
state whose prosperity is so depend
ent upon the cotton crop, has within
its borders nearly 100000 acres of
virgin land which, it is scientifically
predicted, equals, if it does not ex-
eel, in cotton-producing possibilities
the richest of the far-famed delta"
lands of the state.
The bureau of soils of the depart
ment of agriculture has taken up this
subject in earnest and Milton Whit
ney, the chief of the bureau, hopes
that some day this area, now waste
land, will be redeemed and hundreds
of thousands of bales of cotton pro-
duced upon its fertile acres yearly
The land lies in the delta" referred
to, which is in reality an area lying
between the Mississippi and Yazoo
rivers, extending from Memphis on
the north to Vicksburg at the south
and forming about half of the "Yazoo
area"
