The truck farmers and horticulturists
of Mississippi are looking forward to a
season of unusual prosperity all indica-
tions pointing to an early spring, in
which event their products will reach the
Northern markets in time to command
the fancy prices always current in
March and April.
Adyiccs from Crystal Springs, Hazel
hurst, Galman, Ridgeland and Madison
Station state that the strawberry yield
promises to be especially fine. The plants
are in heavy bloom, and with the abb
scncc of heavy frosts or freeze during
the present month the crop will be m-
usually prolific.
The truck farmers are getting in readi-
ness to plant tomatoes, cabbage beans,
peas, etc, and the first promise OF the
disappearance of winter will result in
active planting work in the fields,
Throughout the southern portion of the
state the acreage will be largely in
creased, especially along the Gulf &
Ship Island road south Of Jackson,
The fruit crop outlook is all that could
be desired at this season, and the hortl'
culturists devoutly hope that they will
fare better than last year, the previous
season having been very unsatisfactory
Peach trees have commenced to bloom
throughout this section, and other signs
of early vegetation are apparent.

will be several thousand of them. Com

has also promised that the various
tribes Of Indians that inhabited the re-

visit in 1906, shall be represented by
liberal delegations. These will include
Utes, Cheyennes, Arapahoes, Comanches
