John Amaker, OF Poparvllle, killed
a ''razor-back" hog a few days since
that tipped the beam at 336 pounds,
and rendered 1G6 pounds Of lard. That
Is q remarkable showing for the razor
back, and possibly there is more good
In BIN than he is given credit for.

Greenwood's death rate OF only
sslittle over eight 70 the thousand for
the past Ave years is splendid show;
Ing for that equally splendid city.
The delta is showing a great advance
in healthfulness lat,ly, and now com
paes favorably with any section of

Protect your timber. BE slow to sell
unless you are made sure that it
e will be worked into the finished ar
ticle right here in Mississippi Too
many large bodies of our splendid
timber lands are coming into the
: hands Of foreigners. who cut it into
rough lumber here and ship to other
places for manufacture Right now
is.the time to stop this. Already too
much of it is in alien hands, We are
glad so welcome any one who will
come and help us in the great work
of development, bnt wo do not want
others to get the best crude material
We have and carry II awa~, thereby
losing to us the cost Of transportation
and the price paid for skilled labor
in It's manufacture Hold your tim
ber lands until YOU know fully the
purpose OF tho intending purchaser.
Too much fine timber land in the
State worth $40 per acre, or more, is
on the assessment rolls at 81 per acre.
This Is not as It should be. Boards
OF supervisors ought to see that It is
assessed at something like what It
Is worth. BY doing this, the owners
VIII be made to pay little something
OF the. cost OF developing the country
and making their lahds worth more
money. Otherwise. they pay nothing
and reap the larger portion of the
benefits, This matter is well worthy
a careful investigation at the hands
OF our people, and 1t is TO be hoped
that some action will be taken along
the lines suggested herein

W. J. Quarles, Of Long Beach, has
sugar cane that averages over nine
feet Of matured stalk. OF of one and
half acres he made over eight hun.
drcd gallons of syrup. He only used
on the land 500 pounds of acid phos.
phate and cotton seed meal mixed
This shows what gan be done on Mis-.
sissippl soil If only common sense
and a little energy is displayed. There
Is me- place in the world where the
husbandmah, can get srch', liberal re-
turn for his labor. Write Mr.. Quarles
and prove tho truthfulness of the as
sertions herein marte. '' ~''' .'-'''

Few people in Mississippi realize
the attention the State is attracting
abroad, and the demand for our cheap
lands by moneyed men, seeking profit
