Mississippi State News
Late Planting season.

Farming operations in Mississippi
generally promise to be later than
for many seasons pass, owing to the
unusually large amo1nt Of rainy
weather and the protratced length of
the flood season. Corn planting will
not be well under way until the mid
die of April, and only small per-
centage Of the cotton crop viii be in
the ground at that time, while the
bulk of the acreage is not likely 10
be planted before the first Of May
The lateness of the season, however,
is not a cause Of great worry among
the farmers, as some late crops are
much better than those planted ear.
lier in the year, better stands of both
cotton and corn being secured. The
greatest damage caused by the back
ward spring is to the truck farming
interests, which are suffering greatly
on account of the cool weather and
rain. Truck acreage already planted
is doing poorly, the growth of plants
being much retarded, and the out
look generally is not at all encour-
aging.

Diversified Farming.

The logic Of diversified farming
in Mississippi is emphasized by the
experience Of a Grenada county far
mer who painted three acres Of land
in sweet poNtoes last year. He has
just finishedmarketing the crop, re-
ceiving an average of IS cents per
bushel for theyield of 500 bushels,
or about 5000 He still has goo
bushels of SEED potatoes left, worth
81 per bushtl, and will try diyersi-
fled farming again this year on
larger scale The same three acre
tract two pars ago was planted in
cotton and aised about one-half bale
per acre, tie gross income being
about $50. This object lesson can
be found hmany other counties in
the State, md it is gratifying to
note the gelfral manner of its ac-
ceptance by he farmers.

An Historic FlAg.

1t is stated that the remnants Of
the historic battleiiag OF the Four
teenth Mississippi regiment will be
brought to the annual reunion of tae
Confederate veterans in Jackson
during the early part Of June. This
flag, only small portion of which is
left, has quite an interesting his
tory. Its original decoration was a
likeness Of jefferson Davis and tie
Goddess Of Liberty on one side,
while on the other was a serpent
coiled around an eagles nest. The
flag was carried by Mr.. Andrew
Payne until he was captured at Fort
Donelson, and even then he did not
part with it, but managed to con-
ceal the tattered remnants of the
banner in his coat lining and kept it
there without discovery until he was
exchanged six months later. He still
has the remnants in his possession
and expects to attend the Jackson
reunion and exhibit the precious re-
lie to his old comrades.

certain you'll like it,"
They had not walked through the
streets together for good while
not even to church. Horatio Whit
ney was keenly sensitive to the fact
that his overcoat and hat were shah
by. He did not care TO remember
how long it was since he had bought
new ones, and he did not want
Martha to remember. So he stayed
at home quietly, and grew a little
grayer and little older every day
So he had stayed at home Sunday
after Sunday. He was always tired;
it was a good enough excuse. Martha
gave up urging him after awhile.
The next morning Martha walked
downtown with Horatio, through
Jermyn street. 1t was a beautitui
day.
Down the street little way prog
ress was temporarily blocked, ana
Horatio and Martha came to stand
still. A heavy dray was being backed
across the sidewalk.
They were abreast OF splendid
plats-glass show-window, and Martha
turned to it for entertainment. What
woman was ever at loss for amuse-
ment with a show-window at her ell
bow? But this one Martha turned
away a little disgusted. 1t was only
a mems furnishing store.
The drayman took his time
Martha was driven back to the win
dow in seIf-defense, and it was this
time that she saw the coat that re
minded her. A little thrill ran over
her. for it was the exact shade-the
soft, deep gray-of that other coat
II was not distinguishably different
either, in style-queer that Is years
should make so little change!
Martha glanced at Horatio's shabby
oyercoat. The pitiless sun gave 1t nc
quarter. She saw all its fadednes'
and meanness, and the listless, de
iected sag of it. 1t gave her star
of surprise that she had not noticed
it before. She scarcely ever noticed
Horatio's clothes. They were Away

"easy" on his things. There wa
