Nothing but a material rise in price

would be SO per cent more than the

Mr.. Hill argues that the only relief
is to be found in better agriculture
and larger yield OF grain. He says the

something like the capacity of his soil
for production, but in most instances
we fail to understand the value Of
what we have.
Our correspondent gives several in
stances, coming under his own OBJ
servation, to illustrate the truth OF
his contention. One farm in Neck
lenburg county, Nirdginia, of LOS acres
was supposed to be almost worthless
It was one of the oldest farms in the
county and for years never had pro-
duced more than twenty-five barrels
Of corn, tobacco to the noun of SIS
or 800 and other crops in proportion
A young man got hold Of it and en-
ployed one hand by the year. Re-
Gently he got from the same place to-
bacco to the value Of $1,000. eighty
barrels Of corn and sundry other
crops. He did not undertake to Gull
tivate the entire place, but used the
lana he and his assistant could work
thoroughly.
Around Kinston the lands are old
and were supposed to be depleted. Yet
last week a man bought in from one
of these old places eight piles Of to-
bacco and sold them at a Kinston
warehouse for %, So, IS, 40, As. 55.
66 and 10 cents a pound. Another
farmer in the same reighbOrhOod, the
same week sold his tobacco crop from
four acres of old land for a net sum
of SITS. Another sold 10000 pounds
for $500: another three loads for
$4,000. Another averaged 20 cents a
pound for his entire crop. Another
who last year bought a piece Of land
for $1,000, sold from it enough to-
bacco to pay for it. Yet another sold
his Irish potato crop for $1,000 and
the same land has brought a remark
ably heavy crop Of hay.
We like to be told of these in
stances and to spread them broad
The farmer who proves that he can
take land which,, to the eye of the
Western or Northern farmer seems
barren and hopeless and make money
from it does the very highest possible
service for his State and community.
Nobody can argue against facts. What

Oct. 20, and the Mississippi Library
Association was organized with the
following officers: President, T. w.

president, G. F. Boyd. Superintendent
of city schools of Kosciusko; Secretary,

The great need of public libraries,
which is acknowledged by all who are
interested in the educational problems
of the state, was very forcibly brought
out by T. w. Davis in his statement
of the object of tn, meeting. An in
formal discussion of the many oppor-
tunities open to libraries slowed some
thing of the field TO be covered and the
need of organized effort.
The purpose of the Association is to
promote library interests throughout
the state of Mississippi, and the off

ton and give advice to all public libra
ries or to communities which may de-
sire to establish them, as to the best

DECLARES THAT CONDUCT OF

HAS BEEN A FAILURE-HOLDS
PINCHOT POLICIES TO BLAME.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-Sena-
tor La Toilette has taken a hand in
the Ballinger-Pinchot controversy by
calling the presidents attention to
laxity in the enforcement of the work
of caring for the forest arrangement
within the Wisconsin Indian reserve.
This is done in a letter recently
mailed to President Taft.
The Senator implies in his state
ment that the claims of Pinchot as
to benefits which his administration
have given to the forests of the
country are false and cites as matters
of negligence the alleged disregard
and inefficiency which has prevailed
in connection with the conduct of
the Wisconsin reserve
