Strawberry Shortage.

A fair illustration or the shortage
of Mississippi s strawberry crop is
shown by the report of the Berry
Growers Association at .Durant,
where only thirty-six carloads of
Strawberries have been shipped to the
Northern markets this season, against
101 carloads from the same station
last year.
Similar reports come from Crystal
Springs, Gallman, Madison Station,
Ridgeland and other principal ship
ping points, and it can no longer
be doubted that the growers have ex-
perienced an improbable year. The
shipping season is drawing to a close,
the berries now being picked being
of an inferior quality.
In all general aspects the fruit
and vegetable season in Mississippi
promises to be about as unfavorable
as the 1906 season was favorable,
and very few truck farmers will be
able to show a net profit on their
crops. Many of the truckers are
now preparing to plant their fields
in corn, cotton and other crops.

the same as that during the 1906 trip,
and it will be arranged to have agri-
cultural experts from the Agricul-
tural and Mechanical College and
the State Experiment stations ac-
company the train to demonstrate
and explain the different and approx
ed modes of culture, and if possible
men from other states who have
made advanced and practical agricul-
ture study. The date has not been
definitely decided, though it is pre-
sumed that it will be some time after
the primary elections are over and the

rs VERY GLOOMY.

Movement on Foot to Establish New

VIII Cooperate With Agricultural
Bureau.
Outlook Gloomy.

President Walter Clark, of the
Mississippi Cotton Association, states
that the outlook is rather gloomy.
lie estimates that 25 per cent of the
total acreage for the year will have
to be replanted, about 80 per cent
OF the acreage is in fairly good shape,
ond % per cent has not yet been
plated. y
: The most serious phase of the
situation says President Clark, is
the delay that has been caused by
bad weather. Again, good seed for
planting purposes are very difficult
to obtain. The = emphis oil mills
have shipped into ssissippi not less
than $lS0,000 We. of cotton seed
during the past te lays, and good
portion of these I I'd are of inferios
quality, which viii qean poor stands
for the new planting. = -
President Clark S view of the out
look is confirmed by statements Of
other planters from the delta, who
have been at the capital during the
past few days.

BODY OF MARVIN
CHILD IS FOUND
WITHIN HALF A MILE OF DR..
MARVIN'S HOME.
BODY WAS NOT DECOMPOSED
And Showed no Marks Indicating
Foul Play-Place Where he was
Found Had Been Searched Several
Times by Father and Detectives.

Dover, Del.-Lying in marshy
piece Of land, the body of little Hor-
ace Marvin, son of DR.. H. N. Mar
win, whose mysterious disappearance
had baffled solution since March &,
was found about half mile from the
Marvin home by Ollie Pleasonton, a
farmer.
Pleasanton, who lives on farm adj
joining Marvin S, came upon the
child's body while out cunning. The
child lay face downward in a patch
Of meadow grass. There was no mark
on the body indicating foul play
and it was in a good state of pre-
servation. Pleasanton says he saw the
body at distance of twenty feet.
Several gunners passed over this
land, but none saw the body if il
was there then, the spot where the
body was found in midway between
Che Marvin home and the Delaware
river.
When Pleasanton came upon the
body he found the clothing intact.
His tiny WOODEN REFER was buttoned
up about the body and not an article
of clothing which he had on when
he disappeared was missing. His lit
tie cap was pulled over his face and
his mittens were on his hand.
DR.. Marvin says he searched over
the same marsh nearly every day
since the disappearance and with de-
tectives burned the grass off the place
four weeks ago, but saw no signs Of
the body.
The theory that the child has but
recently been placed where he was
is supported by the fact that DR..
Martin as we'll as detectives who
stood on the spot when they burned
the grass from it. Further than this
the marsh has been trampled over
time and again within the past week
by neighbors and no sign Of the child
was seen.
DR.. Marvin went on run to the
place described by Pleasanton and
gently picked up the little form, pull
ing the cap from the face to make
sure that it was his boy. Being sat-
isfied that it was his son the doctor
wrapped the remains in a sheet and
cd h1v1a 10 %ha la
notified the family. DIR. Marvin is
convinced that his son met with foul
play. The doctor would not allow
an examination to be made by any
one until the coroner and a physician
had made full investigation.
Detectives who have been on the
case are inclined to the belief that
the boy wandered into the marshes and
being overcome by the cold fell ex-
hausted where the body was found.
Pleasanton, who discovered the
body, has figured in the case since
the moment Horace was lost, having
first reported that he had seen the
two strange men who appeared there
inquiring about the topography of the
country three days before the disap-
pearance.
A later examination of the body
showed that it was somewhat bloat-
ed, which lends weight to the belief
that the boy wandered on the marsh
and was drowned
