Hon. Walter Clarke recently gave
out; the. following with reference to
the low price being l.aid by the mills
Tor cotton seed and the proposition
TO organize the producers for a bet
ter price:
u have recently received several
letters asking me to call to the atten-
ton OF our farmers the present low
price of cotton seed, and ask their
cooperation in raising the price. ]
find that on the basis Of good sound
seed, the mills are paying from $12
to $l3 per ton. The seed damaged by
recent rains are bringing from $5 to So
per ton, and, think of it, our farmers
are selling seed at these prices! Are
the mills to blame for this? A large
number Of farmers in many sections
OF Mississippi have put their money
In oil mills and succeeded in advanc-
ing the price of seed materially. Of
recent years the mills have not made
money, in fact, they all lost money,
due to the low price of oil and the
comparatively high price for seed. At
the present price for oil, there can
be no doubt that goo- seed are easily
worth from $15 to $16 per ton; but
the mill men having lost money by
too much competition, like sensible
men, got together and by some mys-
terious process of cooperation, sue
ceeded in buying seed for less than
the market value, and the farmer, fool
that he is, supplies the demand. How
long will it be before our farmers
learn the value and necessity of CO.
operation? Aside from this, what
are seed worth to the lands? The
chemical analysis of cotton seed shows
fertilizer value of 1920 per ton;
the vegetable matter in seed, which is
worth from So to S. per ton of seed,
making the seed easily worth as
fertilizer $15 to $17 per ton, and yet,
thousands of our farmers are selling
their seed-robbing the soil of its fer
tility and decreasing its productive
capacity each and every year by this
process of robbery. The soils of Mis-
sissippi are growing less productive,
and our children will inherit bar
ren waste unless we stop this insane
policy. Again, one pound of cotton
seed judiciously fed to cattle, is worth
as much as one and one-quarter pound
of corn. One ton of corn at so cents
per bushel, when fed to cattle, is
worth $17.85. One ton of cotton seed
fed to cattle is worth $22.30. Again,
after the cattle have been fed on cot
ton seed and the manure properly
saved and returned to the land, it
has a fertilizer value of $18 per ton
of cotton seed, thus making a COM
bined feeding and fertilizer value Of
$4,000 per ton, as compared to corn
which has no fertilizer value and a
feed value of only $1785; and yet,
our farmers will sell this valuable
product for from SIS 20 SIS per ton.
The price Of seed womd be easily SOL
we'd if our farmers would persue
rational course and sell one-half of
the seed at 500 per ton and return
the other half to the land. Can we,
by organization, bring about this re-
suit? I sincerely hope that our va
rious county organizations will take
tie matter up, which is so easy of
solution, and solve it in a rational
manner"

The more pleasing and pleasant oul

The more pleasing and pleasant our
government can make farm life, the
better it is for the government. Our
cities are oyercrowded with worthless
loafers who might be honorable and
respectable farmers. The rural route
is one of the things that has been
provided to make farm life more de
sirable and attractive, and as we all
have to live off the farmers, nothing
should be left undone that could be
done to make the farm inviting.

The commercial and manufacturing
interests of Jackson, Meridian and
other Mississippi towns, are calling
for enforcement of the law with re-
spect to blind tigers and vagrancy,
claiming that if this was done it would
not be so hard to get labor for all
purposes. While the complaint made
by these interests is no doubt well
founded, they themselves are to blame
for the condition of affairs. The laws
Of any community are just as well
executed as the communities want
them to be. When the people elect
men who they know to be in SYM
pathy with the gambling and blind
tiger element, they may expect that
these violators will not be disturbed.
There is an increasing demand
throughout the state for men who are
fearless in doing the right, and when
men of this character are elected to
fill the offices, then will iawlessness
be put down and the vagrants put to
work, and not until this is done.

The Starkyille Times truthfully
says: when you pull down the town
in which is your own home, you are
pulling down yourself, and when you
build up yourself you are helping to
build up your neighbor. Try and
Danish from your mind the mistaken
Idea that all good things are away off
IN some other locality. Give your
town all the praise it can legitimately
bear. It certainly can do you no harm
and will cost you nothing, and above
ell ustronize your homs institutions

Arraignment of the Court.

Such a severe arraignment has sell
dom been heard in this courtroom.
He painted Count Boni in the black
est of colors, declaring him to be ra-
pacious, brutal and icentious, while
the countess was held up as the long
suffering victim. Nothing was spared
and nothing was CLOSED over. In
chronological order Maitre Cruppi re-
counted the story of the alliance,
which, he said, had been unhappy
from the very honeymoon, owing to
the incredible extravaganza of the
husband, who in five years lad used
up the colossal fortune that the dsugh
ter of Jay Gould had brought him.
Count Roni's inordinate and nsltia-
bic demands for money according to
the attorney for the countess, bega
as soon as the couple arrived in Parss,
and led Immediately to i'll treatment
and abuse and soon to blows. The
countess was struck by her husband,
according to the lawyer, the first time
four months after the marriage. This
was the result Of quarrel in connec-
ton with dinner given by an Amer
lean to which the count was not invit-
ed. Intrigues and amours, carried on
under the countess very eyes, were
not long delayed.
Maitre Cruppii detailed liasons
with four society women, designating
them as Nine. A. Nine. B. Nine. C.
and Nine. D. Referring to the counts
affairs with the demimondaines, the
lawyer told the story in a plain, un-
vanished fashion. He made no at
tempt at rhetoric, but marshaled the
facts from big dossier before him.
He read unexpurgated extracts from
incriminating letters, and gave the
dispositions of servants and others in
dicating infdelity.
Only when Maitre Cruppi reached
some particularly outrageous incidents
Of the counts conduct did his voice,
vibrating with passion, rise until it
penetrated the farthermost recesses of
the big hall, and at other times it
would soften as he spoke Of the hu-
inflated wife under such circum-
stances, trying to bear up in the face
of the world. As he spoke of the
counts efforts to prolong the case
with a view of securing forgiveness
and Cancellation, the lawyer fairly
shouted: "No, no, forgiveness is now
out of the question:
Women in the Case.
Beneath the disguises of Nine. A.
Nine. B., Nine G. and Nine D., many
persons in the courtroom recognized
the identity of the women to whom
the lawyer referred, and there was
a craning of necks as the courtroom
listened to the reading of the words
of passion in the letters and the
curious were especially absorbed in
the salacious details set forth by the
lawyer of the case of Nine. c., with
whom a code of window signals had
been arranged and whose maid did
sentinel duty at the door of the man
sion to give the alarm in case the
betrayed husband should return un-
expectedly.
In this deposition it was set forth
that a servant ushered Count Boni

day as the guest of the McComb City
fair last week. This is the thiro
year of the fair and the promoters
are well pleased with the showing
made. A number Of the agricultural
exhibits were exceptionally good, as
was also several in each of the other
departments. The attendance was
very fattering indeed, and more es-
pecially when it is taken into consid-
Grafton that the storm and bad wealth
er had put the farmers behind with
their crops and that every effort was
being made to catch up with the gath
ering The fair in Pike is on firm
isis and already plans for next year
are being perfected. Extra induce
ments will be offered for exhibits of
agricultural, horticultural, stock and
other farm products. 1t is expected
that the present building will be en-
tirely filled with these and that others
will be erected to take care Of the
overflow. The people are enthusiastic
in the effort to make their next year
twice as good as this, which insures
it being among the very best in the
whole state.

The citizens Of Yazoo county were
so well pleased with the result of their
recent carnival that active steps are
being taken to organize a permanent
fair association and make the event
IN annual one. The immensely fer
tile delta section is capable of making
an exposition Of prouucts that could
not be excelled by any section of the
world and Iazoo City IS in the heart
Of this district. Brookhaven is also
arranging for permanent fair, stim-
ulated by the success Of the carnival
week held this fall, Hazlehurst has
already decided on a fair next year,
Mt. Olive had three days meeting
and display and will endeavor to
make it larger next season, New Al
bany is making preliminary investi-
cations with the view of holding
fair and the whole stuLe is waking up
to the great benefits to be thus de-
rived. Mississippi has long been
behind in this good WORK, but promises
great strides forward IN the immed-
late future. In our sister state of
Louisiana the legislature makes an ap-
preparation of ten thousand dollar
per annum for the benefit of the state
fair and five thousand for the en-
couragement of parish fairs, fifteen
Of which are made annual events.
The investment has been found
good one and there is now no opposi-
tion to the measure, but besides, the
agricultural people appreciate the
good being done and are strongest
in the demand that it be continued.
The Mississippi legislature could very
well afford to encourage these splen-
did educational institutions.
