The Lexington advertiser., 1905-08-10

It was the writer's pleasure to spend
a few hours with the Patrons of Hus-
bandry at their regular annual meet |
ing in the beautiful grove and grounds
ty, Wednesday Of last week. This is
the Oldest and most successful organ.
ization Of the kind in the State, hav.
ing held regular meetings for period |
of twenty-five years. The location is |
an admirable one for such an enter. !
prise. The country for fifty miles |
around is peopled by thrifty, law.
abiding, intelligent class Of farmers, |
who appreciate in the fullest sense the |
benefit to be derived from such an in.
stitution. A large assembly building |
adorns the center of the grounds, and |
around it are grouped numbers Of |
smaller ones for various purposes Of |
a general nature. In circle enclosing |
the whole is double row Of small |
frame buildings, one and two stories |
high, belonging to those who come |
every summer to spend few days |
pleasantly and protitably, and occu-
pied as homes during that time. The
very best of speakers upon general |
subjects Of interest and profit are en-
gagged. Amusements Of a harmless ma
ture are provided to while away the
hours, and withal the event is one of
more than ordinary interest. 1t is to
be regetted that more communities in
the State do not hold these annual
meetings. They are evidently produc-
tive of much good in many ways, as
well as being occasions of pleasure
and recreation.
The canning factory recently built |
and put in operation at New Albany
is running now and canning the crop
Of tomatoes that was raised this sea-
SON The people seem to be hopeful
Of the outlook for a successful bus
ine@s in the future, although the pres
eRt season has been the worst for
some years While the largest output
OF this factory will be tomatoes this
year next season the farmers will
plant sweet potatoes and other vege-
tables that offer 4 greater profit for
handling. There is no disC0unting
the great advantage Of canning fac
tory to any community, especially if it
be trucking one and with the neces.
stty Of some way to handle stuff that
1t would not be profitable to ship, or
take care of the crop at times when
the market falls below the profit line.
Thern could not be better invest
mert fO1 any community than a small
canning factory and from the number
that were built during the past sea.
son, it looks as if in a short time
there will be none without one.
&
There IS still plenty of room for
Mississippi to raise several million
chickens and several billion eggs for
the market, There can be found
thousands of acres of land that would
make admirable chicken farms that
can be bougnt at very low price.
The climate is mild and the expense
of raisis, them Is much lrss here than
further north. An excellent market
is provided ard there are many other
arguments why our people should pay
more attention to this Industry.
