MIR. Tate makes Interesting Talk.

Mr.. H. D. Tate, the represen-
tative of the Agricultural Depart
ment of the United States COVER
nment, whose headquarters are
at Tupelo, delivered a lecture to
a number of interested farmers
at the Court House on Monday
and also to a numbhr of farmers
and the Agricultural class of the
Saltillo High School at Saltillo on
Wednesday.
He dwelt extensively on the
needs of our Mississippi farmer
and the improvement of our i'm
poverlshed soils by the judicious
use OF legumes and winter cov-
er crops such as rye, winter turf
oats etc. Also on the better prep
aration, judicious fertilization
and systematic cultivation. He
advises deep fall plowing and
subsoiling in the fall. He also
dwelt upon the fact that spring
breaking should not be so deep
as fall breaking for deep blowing
in the fall furnishes a loose bed
of soil to receive and store away
moisture to hold in reserve for
the growing crops during the dry
summer months, also the winter
freezes prepare the phosphates
in the clay subsoil to be available
for the growing crops. He ex-
planned fully the effects of the
different ingredients of commerce
lal fertilizer on a cotton crop,
nitrogen produces more stalk,
hence on poor lands where the
stalk grows small a heavy apph-
cation of cotton seed meal will
furnish sufficient fertilizer to
produce a large weed, but to Sc
cure the weed and the fruit he
advises the use of equal parts of
cotton seed meal and acid phos-
phate, the phosphate adding to
the fruitage while the cotton seed
meal furnishes nitrogen for the
weed. On lands that rust cotton

he advises the judicious use of
potash which is obtained from
German kainit.
The idea that prevails in the
minds of most farmers that this
information is from the North
and from no other experiment
stations, is mistake. DR..
Knapp, who is at the head of
this Department is an experien-
ced southern farmer, having liv-
ed and farmed in Louisiana for
the past twenty-five years. This
information is his practical ex-
perience together with the pract-
ical experience of the best South
ern experiment stations. Mr..
Tate, himself, is a Mississippi
farmer boy and a graduate of our
Mississippi Agricultural College.
Mr.. Ia te's plans are to secure
few demonstrations to follow the
plan outlined as near as possible
and report monthly to him. AL
so to get as many co operators as
possible to follow these plans
and meet him on these demostra-
ton farms once a month, and to
report their farms in the fall.
For the benefit of these who do
not understand what he means
bya demonstrator and a cooper
ator, we give the folloming:
A demostrator agrees to cult
vate one acre to five acres to the
the best of his ability according
to the plans outlined by Mr.. F.,
Tate. Mr.. Tate agrees to visit
HIM once a month and offer sug-
gestions and discuss methods
and results. The demostrator
results once a month.
A co-operator does the same work
and agrees to follow the same
plans, but reports only once a
year and is not visited by Mr..
Tate, though he is notified by
Mr.. Tate when he will visit the
demostrator and is invited to
meet him there.

Joshua Simpkins,' four act New
England play, will be presented at Tup-
elo Opera House. Wednesday Feb.
18th.
The climax of stage realism, it is
asserted, has been reached in the pre-
sentation of the stirring saw-mill scene
in Joshua Simpkins, and will be pre-
sented in this city by peculiar mechan-
ical device which has never been intro
duced here before. This saw-mill scene
is claimed to be a vast improvement
over any attempts in similar line:
The company also boasts of a splendid
orchestra, which is carried complete by
the organization, to aid in the proper
presentation of the play, which is
which is said to abound with mus
ical and dancing specialities of high
order To assist Joshua Simpkins"
in popularity, band of music is also
carried. and concert is given which is
said to be far above anything usually
heard with travelling musical organ
ization. The parade will leave the the
alter at the usual time and take the u.s.
ual route, making a burlesque parade.
