FOR GREATER MISSISSIPPI

While the writer was urging action
on the part of those present at the
meeting of agricultural commissioners
and workers at Jacksonville, Fla, re-
Gently toward concerted action for
broadening the cotton market both at
home and abroad, and in discussing
the proposition to cover our cotton
with goods made from low grades and
making sacks for fertilizers and SINH
lar uses from storm cotton, distin-
guished gentleman III the party took
issue and pronounced the proposition
a sophistry He further stated that
is was wrong to try TO force manu-
facturers of fertilizers to use goods
made from cotton if they did not want
to. This is just as it has been for
years. When an effort is being made
to do something for the farming class
es there is always some one to OBJ
jeot and claim that the plan is not rea-
sonable or just to the manufacturer.
They forget that the same manufact-
urers do just as they please, forcing
on the farmer what they choose and
he has no recourse in the matter.
Unioh labor in the plant, but when
the consumer, the cotton planter,
wants a little concession to benefit
himself in furnishing a market for
what he raises with the fertilizer
bought, there is cry of forcing them
to do something they do not want to.
The trusts and combines have defend
ers everywhere that are always anxi-
Gus to take up the cudgel in their de-
Tense, many Of them coming from
sources that should have supplied de-
tenders for the agricultural people.
AS the writer stated in his address be-
fore that body, every interest has been
fostered by special legislation, dona-
tions or concession except the farmers
and it is now high time that they
Evere being recognized by a govern
knent that has its very foundation and
sinews Of perpetuation upon the
results of their labor.

England made a total profit of 291
million dollars last year from the cot
ton manufactured of which the raw
material was bought in the South. Of
this enormous sum, ~ millions dollars
made from the cotton produced in the
state of Mississippi and exported.
More than half Of what was received
by our planters for the entire crop.
Is this not an enormous sum to be
allowed to leave us when it could and
should be kept here at home Our cot
ton should be manufactured right here
and this immense profit kept where
1t rightfully belongs. 1t is high time
that our people were becoming alive
to the Importance of such work and
interesting themselves in a movement
that should insure a change to our
advantage.

The plan of pooling cotton by com.

number of buyers attracted and the
better the price realized. Would like

these pools for publication.

The several flower show given by
communities in the state during the
past three weeks were all reported
as splendid successes. The displays
were good and the attendance all that
could have been desired. Mississippi
Is well adapted to the culture of flow
ers and number of our enterprising
people are finding the industry a
praftable one. There is a movement
now on foot at Jackson to organize
a company with capital of $4,000
to grow flowers for the trade. Such
a concern has every promise of success
the Importation of flowers being large
sivty pounds, or a bushel. This il

Advices from Washington state Fl

Advices from Washington state that
100000 will be recommended by the
government engineers for improve
ments on Pascagoula river for next
year. This is independent of the work
being done in deepening the pass at
Horn island and is significant of great
things for Pascagoula harbor. The
original project of expending five
million dollars on this naturally pro-
tected port to make it one of the best
IN the world, will be carried out in
the next few years. Mississippi is
secure in the possession Of two or
more important ports for securing
large share of the business that win
come this way upon the completion
of the Panama canal.

The dozens of supposed to be i'm
proved cotton seeds that are being
offered planters at fancy prices bring
to the front again the fact that any
farmer by the process Of selection car
improve his seed and in a short time
make them almost if not quite SC
good as any offered. By a system OF
neglect he can in the same short time
run down the best to ordinary cotton
F. M. Berryhill of Aline, Amite county
Verifies this fact in letter to the writ
er of recent date. He says: ~ write
you few lines to let the thousands
who read your department weekly
know what can be accomplished by a
system of seed selection in improving
our. crops. In the year 1898 / had my
entire cotton crop planted in what
was known as the Brandon cotton.
found few stalks that were extra
good and from these I carefully pick,
ed the cotton, had it ginned separately
and planted IN patch to itself mex
year. | have been doing the same
thing every year since and nov have
cotton that is very early and prolific
On good land and with proper cultiva-
ton it will make two bales to the acre
and 500 pound bale from 1,2O0 tc
1900 pound of dry seed cotton. II
has small seed large bolls and is easily
picked. A neighbor this fall got a
$50 pound bale from 1870 pounds OF
seed cotton. I am a firm believer in
improved seeds of all kinds and what
1 have done can be accomplished by
any farmer that will take the time and
,precaution. / am still a young man
only 80 years of age, have been farm
ing all of my life and expect to keep
1T up. cannot see why so many young
men want to leave the country and go
to town when the farm offers so much
to those who will use their energy
and brains in the right direction. ]

To Protect Antelopes in California.

LOS ANGELES, Cal. Dec. 10
Strenuous efforts will be made during
the coming winter season by the state
fish and game preservation associa-
ton to protect the herds of antelope
which are reported to be wandering in
the vicinity Of Fort Morgan. Wray,
Bush, and Akron. Owing to the vigor-
Gus enforcement Of the game laws, an
telopes are largely increasing, and it
is no uncommon sight to see herds,
numbering up to fifty. The cactus
covered plains in the eastern part of
Colorado furnish the best adapted
place for the rearing of the young OF
the antelope and several that have been
taken when quite young have been
raised as pets and have become ex-
tremely docile and affectionate. At a
meeting of the Fish and Game Pro-
tective Association today it was de-
cided to call on the legislature to en-
force the game laws in their strictest
sense and protect the antelope from
destruction.
