The demonstrated of road build
ing and maintaining machienry at
the State Fair next NORTH promises
to be excellent. A number Of manu-
fasturers have expressed q willing
ness to exhibit their machines and
some OF them are already on the
ground. It is to be sincerely hoped
that q majority Of the supervisors
will be present on the 2Sth and 29th
to witness these tests and determine
for themselves what will build road
cheaply and permanently. 1t is mat
ter deserving of the closest investi-
CATION on the part of all who are in
tercsted in the welfare OF Mississippi
and more especially those on whom
the responsibility falls for providing
reasonable roads at cost commensu-
rate with the ability of the people to
pay. The writer has recently seen
roads built of common earth In Texas
that were long way better than
most of those in our own state that
did not cost an exhorbitant price at
all. If one state can have roads that
prove profitable to the people who
use them, so can another. We are
behind many of the states of the I'm.
ION in road building, but that is no
reason why we should continue so.
Interest is increasing in this matter
and it should. The Democrat, publish
ed at Philadelphia, has opened col
umn for discussing road propositions
and calls for the people to contribute
articles on the subject Other papers
might find this plan worthy of con-
sideration. Agitation will bring re-
suits Of some kind, aua the chances
are, that they will be for the good.
Get the people to trying for some
thing better and plan will be evolv-
ed eventually that will be an improve
ment over what we have at present.
This Is one of Missisisppi's greatest
needs and is deserving of attention
at the hands of everybody.
The god people of Marion county
are very much interested in diversi-
fed farming and are offering splen-
did inducements for truckers to come
there and locate. At a meeting recent
ly held in Columbia, some three hum
CXed acres of land was offered rent
free for one and two years to expe-
rienced truckers who would come ana
work 1t. The object is, to make it a
trucking center; first, by planting
considerable acreage by those expert
enced in the business and then in
ducing others to fall into line and
raise truck. The plan is an excellent
one and should be productive of good
results. BY concerted effort it may
be possible to induce the G. and s. /
railroad to supply refrigerator cars
for the handling of these crops, in
which event, the people along the
line would be afforded like facili-
ties with those along the Line of the
Illinois Central. Transportation at
reasonable rates is necessary to the
success of such a venture and by
proper effort, such can no doubt be-
arranged.
.
The subject of proper drainage for
farm lands has been brought promi-
nently to the front by the action of
our last legislature in authorizing any
section to organize a drainage dis
trict, taxing the land benefited to
3ay for the work. BY this means
thousands upon thousands of acres OF
rich land will be brought into culti-
walton.

Farmers Wanted

Washington, D. G.
Wanted-3OOO practical farmers who
would like to own homes of their own.
The Government has nearly 100000
acres of land lying under the various
irrigation projects throughout the
West for which water will be available
next season. The farm unit on these
projects varies ~ins most cases from 40
to 80 acres of irrigable land, depend
ing upon location. In many sections
tract of grazing land has been in
cluded in the farm unit wherever prac.
ticable, bringing the total up to 100
acres.
The only charge for these farms, be-.
sides the regular land Office fee for FL
ing, is the actual cost OF getting water
to them, and payment may be made in
ten annual instalments, without inter.
est.
These irrigation projects are scatter
ed over the entire arid region, from
Canada to the Mexican line. In con.
sequence, every variety of crop grown
in the temperate zone can be raised
under them. If you would like fruit
or dairy farm, garden for market

might direct settlers who come to him
from the south and the east.
On being asked with reference to the
actual number of h0mesteads available
for settlement at the present time, he
stated that in addition to the great
areas in the unsurveyed portion of the
West there were more than one hund.
red thousand homesteads in the sur

portion were of no value, and con
siderable proportion were remote from
existing railways. Thousands of them
however, were accessible, and among
these were some which were equal to
the best.
"It is not as well known as it ought
to be-" said Mr.. Kennedy, "that there
are large areas of vacant land in Mani
toba, but such is the case. The larger
number Of these homesteads are stu
ated in the northern part Of the pro-
