Farm Homes and Farm Lawns.

Every farm home should have
lawn regardless of the size of the farm
or the dwelling house erected on it.
We have referred to this many times
before. We refer to it again because
of the great influence which we are
satisfied it eXerts upon the inmates
of the home especially where chill
dren are growing up in it. 1t even
has softening influence on rough
men, as it would seem to be an inn
possible thing, that anyone can live
for any considerable length of time
uninfiuenced by the surroundings. En-
vironment has unquestionably an in
f1uence on character, even tho that
influence may be exercised by objects
that have no other voice than the 81
lent appeal which they make to the
finer sensibilities which exist in a
greater or less degree in every human
mind.
First impressions are apt to cling
in spite of what may transpire later
calculated to dispel them. If the
individual who first comes in touch
with farm dwelling finds evidences
of untidiness, lack of taste all around
the farm dwelling, in spite of any eff
I'm SOAAOA
at once reached, that those who dwell
within the home are untidy and not
possessed of any considerable degree
of love for the beautiful in nature or
in life. Children growing up in such
home are almost certain to grow up
Indifferent to what may be tidy or neat
in the surroundings of the same,
hence when they set up homes for
to- p1vy NOT, "a
surroundings of these should be I'M
tidy also.
There are some luxuries which ev-
cry farmer cannot have. Many must
be content to live in farm dwellings
that are small and plain, and in
sense homely, but none need go with
out the luxury of lawn, since it is
so easily obtained. 1t simply means
blowing the ground around the dwell
ing, narrowing it, letting it go for
single season or for a part OF a sea-
son without grass in order that 1t
may be levelled nicely; all Of which
may be done by the aid of plow. the
harrow and a simply made plank drag.
When it is thus prepared, the seed
may be sown either fall or spring. Ii
sown in the fall, it should be soWn
early.
The rest is easily done. 1t means
simply to NOW the lawn with field
mower two or three times in the sea-
son and occasionally to give it lit
tie top dressing that it may grow Wig
orously. No farmer can excuse HIM
self for not having lawn on the
ground that he has no time to NOV or
care for one.

The word comes from the east that
farmers are increasing their f1ocks ana
that on farms heretofore without sheep
small fiocks are being introduced. This
is as it ought to be, as every farm
should have onI it small band Of
sheep. If it be the proper thing to
introduce sheep thus on the farms
east, how much more will it be proper
to introduce them on the farms Of the
west where they are found in num-
bers so very limited at the present
time?

FAULTY ESTIMATE.

Some unknown travelling man
in making an estimate of the pop
ulation of thirty four Of the lead
ing cities and towns in Mississ-
ippi in 1910 places Columbus
eighth in the list, giving Jackson,
Meridian, Vicksburg, Natchez,
Gulfport, Greenville, and Green
wood priority over US in the order
named. That this estimate is
faulty no one who is familiar with
conditions in Mississippi will for
a moment deny. In the first
instance the gentleman SUBMIT
ing the estimate, which has been
filed with Secretary of State
Power at his Office in Jackson
and is therefore a public document
gives the population of Columbus
in 1910 as Il, 156, when in reality

we have at least that number of
people now, while to Greenwood,
which at present has population
of about 5000, he gives 1921,
allowing for an increase of some-
thing like one hundred per cent.
in five years, while he allows Co
lumbus practically no increase
whatever.
Statistics show that Columbus
is growing as rapidly as any city
in the State, and we have during
the past eighteen months secured
more new manufacturing enter
prises than any city in Mississ-
ippi. These mills and factories
have naturally brought quite a
large number of people here, and
that our population is increasing
at an extraordinary rapid rate is
attested by the fact that although
hundreds Of new houses have
been erected here within the past
twelve months it is almost i'm
possible to secure homes for all
the newcomers. If the gentleman
making the estimate had doubled
his figures on Columbus he would
have come nearer hitting the
mark, for it is safe to assert that
five years hence this city will
have a population of twenty-five
thousand.

The charges brought by Sec.

Operated ia conjunction with a
clique of New York cotton brOk-
ers, among whom was mention
ed the name Of Theodore Price,
giving to them the figures ia ad-
vance of their publicity by the
government and from this ad-
vance knowledge his cOnfeder-
were enabled TO reap a golden
harvest. That these revelations
have been going on for some
time and that the information

that Holmes although in meagre
circums stances, has in a short
time risen to a position of afflu-
ence and wealth That he was
handsomely paid by the New
York gang, who in turn robbed
the people all over the country,
there can be no question or
doubt.
In view Of the disclosures
which have already been made
in certain branches of the FEEDER

graft and gain and theft, it, to

that the agricultural department
