preparing for an extensive exhibit at

Of the islands exhibit, though tobacco,

Americans are planting oranges quite
extensively. The groves are doing we'll,
and investors feel encouraged. Cotton
is attracting attention, too, and bids
fair to be very profitable. There are
no pests to endanger the cotton. Amer

greatly improved, however, If we can

The Agricultural Outlook.
By 6 q HARRIS.

The farmers In all sections of the
state are making good Roadway with
the planting of the cotton crop, and
before the end of the week a goodly
portion Of the acreage will be in the
ground. Although much complaint
is being made of the excessive rains
and continued cool nights, a compari-
son with former years shows that the
planting season is fully three weeks
earlier than usual.
A most gratifying feature Of the
farming preparations in Mississippi
this year is the large corr acreage.
From all sections of the State comes
the report that corn Is coming up to a
good stand. In many places it Is now
ready for the first working.
There has been a great deal of talk
of an increased cotton acreage, but
the preparations thus far made do not
indicate that the acreage will be any
greater than that Of last year, and in
some sections it will be considerably
less. This is particularly true of the
large plantations in the Delta, where
there is a dearth of farm labor scarce
