why he didn't let the people know.

AN INDISPENSABLE INSTITUTION

The Importance of a strong nation
al gaurd, and indeed the necessity for
such an adjunct to the law has been
abundantly proven by number of
recent events, among which it is only
necessary to cite the night rider war
IN Kentucky, the Reelfoot Lake dis
orders in Tennessee. the Meadville
feud in Mississippi, and the Cairo
riot in Illinois. In each of these cases
the law would have been powerless
had it not been for the support of the
military. There is daily danger, in
every State, of some outbreak in which

Jackson, Nov. 23.-The farmers in
Mississippi's boil weevil district have
shown gratifying promptness in fol-
lowing the advice of the special agents
of the United States department of
agriculture in making preparations
for next seasons crop. Especially is
this true in regard to the widely-pub-
lished suggestion that all cotton stalks
be burned prior to the 18th of Novem-
Der. 1t is stated by the agricultural
experts that fully ninety per cent. of
the farmers in the southwestern coun-
ties where the weevil has made its ap-
pearance have burned their stalks. do
ing the work thoroughly, and thus min
imizing prospects of ravages by the
weevil during the coming crop year.
The United States department of
agriculture is preparing to reorganize
Its field forces in Mississippi for 1910.
More special agents will be employed
and assigned to territory over which
they will have jurisdiction and give
instruction and advice to farmers rel
alive to cooperation and demonstra-
ton farm methods. During the past
crop year the government had about
thirty agents employed in the state,

ITO this last topic" says the circu.
lar, I'VE draw your close attention
You know just as well as we do. that
1t is practically impossible to place a
lone settler in many of the rural re.
gions of the South. We shall not
mention the reasons here; they are
known as fully to you as they are to
us. The way to rapid agricultural
development lies in getting groups OF
families to buy tracts having contact
with each other. Such a group per-
mits neighborliness, school privileges,
joint marketing and so forth, and
such groups will come to prosperity.
Mr.. MacRae is of an old North Caro-
lima family and his heart is set to-
wards proper development of the
South. He has made a number of
successful efforts at colonization and
will take the public frankly into his
confidence in the matter"
Another strong point brought out
is this: IF brisk demand can be
created for Southern lands, their
value will rise. A rise of 81 per acre
will enrich the South $500, 100000
