The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1908-12-31
A Cotton Planters Platform.

I submit the following as a plat
form for cotton farmers to stand
on during the year 1909;
First. We will write to the Sec
retary of Agriculture, Washington,
D. c., the Congressman from our
District, and the Mississippi Ex-
pertinent Station for Agricultural
literature, and subscribe for at
least two good farm papers. We
will study this literature carefully.
Second. We will clean up our
farms until they are as neat as pins.
We will burn all rubbish in the
waste places IN our fields and
around our farms. We will make
our farms look like some one lives
on them. We will not leave any
places for boil weevils, minks,
opossums, and varmints of many
kinds to hide.
Third. We will quit the one
crop system and resort to DIVERSE
fed farming and stock raising. We
will grow every farm product nec-
essary for home consumption and
some to spare. We will grow
every farm product necessary for
home consumption and some to
spare. We will prepare to live
at home and board at the same
place. If the boil weevil destroys
our crop or the speculator forces
the price down below the cost of
production, starvation will not
stare US in the face.
Fourth. We will not buy any
thing on credit except the actual
necessities of life. We will prac-
tice strict enconomy until we get
out of debt and then we will pay
cash as we go.
Fifth. We will thoroughly pull
verize our sell a little deeper than
it has ever been broken before.
We will have our soil dixie an ash
heap before we plant our crop.
Sixth. We will make full use of
all available fertilizing materials
on our farms and on soil that re-
spends we will make free use OF
commercial fertilizers.
Seventh. We will study the fer
tilizer question and endeavor to
proportion cottonseed meal and 10
per ent acid Phosphate ac-
cording to the probable needs OF
the soil in each field.
Eighth. We will plan to get
ahead of the boil weevil and also
obtain a good price for at least a
part of our cotton crop by plant
ing a very early variety early in the
sprlng.
Ninth. We will plant only a.
many acres Of cotton as we can
cultivate rapidly.
Tenth. We will keep more and
better stock, increase the yield
per acre on our farms, use strong
er teams and more labor-savine
farm implements
The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1908-12-31

scrubs has passed. More stock,
better stock, and better treatment
will save millions of dollars to US
annually.
The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1908-12-31

We have no business to go in
debt for ordinary farm supplies.
We ought to grow our own sup
plies, keep out of debt, and get all
that we are obliged to buy at the
lowest prices for cash. Such a
course means,common sense farm
ing, all other kinds being nonsense
farming.
The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1908-12-31

Diversity and get independent
OF the boil weevil and the credit
system. Grow all cotton and re-
main slave and the boil weevil
will likely cause starvation to stare
US in the face.
The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1908-12-31

It is the money that we can put
in the bank that we ought to be in
terested in. A cotton crop makes
a big income, but the big outgo
for feed and food usually more
than balances the big income.
Living at home will keep the cot
ton money at home that now
leaves US to made other sections
of this country exceedingly
wealthy.
The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1908-12-31

The men who are making the
most money and getting the great
est satisfaction out of farming are
not the men who are trying to cul-
tivate the largest number of acres,
but those who are working to get
the largest crops off a few acres.
The best farming, the best paying
farming, and by far the most
satisfactory farming in every re-
spect is the farming thar is done to
secure bales from an acre instead
of cultivating acres to secure a
bale.

SPRAYING DID It.
ELDRE0 JENNIE RESPONSIBLE
FOR POSITION OF VALLEY
Made Scientific Study OF the Propo-
sition Which Resulted in
Present Fruit.

To a Washington boy is due more
than to any one else excepting per-
haps the Pullman College the credit
FOR the position the Yakima Valley
holds at present as having cleaner
orchards than any other locality in
the world. Eldren f. Jenne came to
the valley while a student at Pull
man and under direction of that in
stitution practiced the theories ad-
vanced there and with the liberal use
of good common sense in the course
of two years demonstrated the value
of spraying at the proper time so
completely that now there is nowhere
a section devoted to the raising of
fruit that ranks with the Yakima
Valley, either in the quality of pack.
freedom from codding moth or
scale. or in the prices secured. Jenne
proved by actual work what effect
time had in spraying, convincing the
most sceptical that unless done at
the proper time, spraying was use
less and a waste of energy.
Before he left the Yakima Valley
at the end of his second year here,
statistics showed the orchards in this
vicinity to be SO per cent clear of
parasites.
The Yakima fruit growers are
aware of this fact as we'll as the fact
that they stand in a class by them
selves, and for this reason at the
last meeting of the Washington State
Horticultural Association, held at
Everett last winter, controlling the
convention as they did, it was de-
cided to hold the coming meeting
at Walla Walla, where an attempt
will be made to have the surrounding
counties represented 1t is we'll
known that orchards throughout that
section of the state are over run with
moth and scale, apples selling there
for 25 cents per bushel that here
would bring at least 81
The convention is to be held Jan.
80, 80 and a. at which time the
commercial club of Walla Walla are
to entertain the delegates at ban
quet. 1t Is estimated fully 900 will
go from Yakima alone.

gon, and brother-in-law of ]. A..
Orchard of this city, is in North

has been completed and accepted
This building is after a design pre-

This Is Worth Saving.

The following simple homemade
mixture is said to relieve any form Of
Rheumatism Or backache, also
cleanse and strengthen the Kidneys
and Bladder, overcoming all urinary
disorders, if taken before the stage
of Brights disease: Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one-half ounce; Com
pound Kargon, one ounce; Compound
Syrup Sarsarparilla, three ounces.
Mix by shaking we'll in a bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after meals
and at bedtime.
A well known authority states that
these ingredients are mainly of veg
etable extraction, and harmless to
use, and can be obtained at small
cost from any good prescription
pharmacy. Those who think they
have kidney trouble or suffer with
lame back or weak bladder or Rheu-
matism, should give this prescrip-
ton a trial, as no harm can possibly
follow its use. and it is said to do
wonders for some people. 3

LONDON APPLE TRADE Is BAD.
Market Demoralized by Too Heavy
Offerings.

Offerings.
The weekly market .etter of w.
Denis x Sons, London, dated De-
cember G. follows:
We regret infinitely to have to
report that our market has gone
from bad to worse and it now com
pletely demoralized owing to the in
cessant stream of heavy arrivals
from all quarters. Barrels of apples
have been selling today at prices
ranging anywhere from los to 14c---
with a top price of about 16c for
best Canadian No. ! Spies, prices
which we would never hae dreamt,
having in view the cost on your side,
would have had to be accepted during
the current season. Where the fruit
is all coming from to be pushed up
on the market at such low prices,
when it must have been evident to
shippers that the quantities would
completely clog the market, we can
not tell, but we presume that this
glut of stuff is the direct outcome of
the monetary pressure on your side.
The stringency on your side has,
of course, materially affected the
money market here, with the conse-
quence that buyers facilities have no
doubt been much curtailed by their
bankers and for this reason the buy
ing order of both dealers and the
consuming public has been consider
ably diminished. We are of opinion
that the cable which will be going
home TO shippers, as the result of
sales this week. must make them
hold up shipments, unlescs the pres
sure behind them to turn their stock
into cash is very acute. In some in
stances this will no doubt be so, but
we have got sufficient stock on
this market and approaching our
ports to satisfy any extra demand
that may be brought about by the
Christmas trade SO that if there is
any considerable quantity of stuff
being shipped by steamers now leav-
ing your ports, and which arrive here
about the 10th or 18th of Decemb Der,
we fear the result may prove disas.
