A member Of the last legislature
in conversation with the writer few
days since, said that a representa-
tive of one of the big syrup canning
concerns in a neighbocing city stated
to him that his company would gladly
give $1,000 if the department of agri-
culture and commerce had not been
created in Mississippi That the ex-
plotting of Mississippi syrup and the
publicity given had damaged the trade
on glucose compounds many times
that amount. God! That is a COM
pliment highly appreciated. The work
has just began. The people will DC
further educated regarding the use
of compounds and made to know
that right here in Mississippi we pro-
Guce the best syrup in the world
and that it can be put up for the
general market absolutely pure and
without compromising. We must
create market for every gallon of
syrup that our state can produce al
fair price. Forty-fve thousand gal
Ions was put up last ear and all sold.
One hundred and fifty thousand gall
Ions will be put p this year and it is
the purpose of this department. to
cooperate with the producer and as
sist in creating a demand that will
take every gallon at fair prices. This
is one of the things the department
is doing that is of benefit to the peo-
pie Of the state and there are others.

boarding houses should care for a
pretty good crowd of visitors.
Good reports come from the cam
ing factory built at Kosciusko this
year, and it is to be sincerely hoped
that the project will prove a cuccess-
full one. Canning factories have. not
proven a good thing here in the past,
but there may be better times ahead
for them.
