you will and where ever you find
a one crop system, there you find
a poor people,
i We must grow our home sup
plies. | do not advise Mississippi
farmers to supplant cotton as their
leading money crop, but l urge
them with all the earnestness of
my soul to grow every food product
necessary for home consumption
and to raise enough good stock to
manufacture the leguminous crops
that must be grown in order to e.
economically increase the product
iveness of the soil into teams and
feed for man and manure for the
fields. We cannot afford to send
two-thirds of the money obtained
for cotton to other sections of the
country to pay for farm products.
We are in sore need of the money
obtained for cotton to build good
roads, to educate and clothe our
families better, to build good
homes, churches, and SO on.
The one crop system established
the credit system. As long as We
raised every farm product neces-
sary for home use and some to
spare, there was no necessity for
the credit system. The one crop
system marked the dawning of the
era of the supply merchant. What
hope is there in the future for the
farmers of Mississippi as long as
the husband, wife and children
cultivate by far the larger part
of the farm in cotton to pay
for high priced bacon, lard, mules
and other farm products bought
on credir. There is no hope.
The one crop system forces us
to buy on credit. We must dump
all of our cotton on the market in
the fall in order to pay for home
supplies bought on credit. We
cannot hold our cotton off market.
The merchants were kind enough
to keep our families from starving, /,
We must sell our cotton as fast as
we pick il. in order to satisfy our
Icreditors. The dumping of all OF

Cotton Seed at s4I.OO Per Ton.

Cotton Seed at $4,000 Per Ton.
Yesterday morning Mr.. ]. L.
Ford, acotton seed buyer of Brook.
haven, paid S41 per ton for cotton
seed to Mr.. Leon Smith, who lives
few miles west of the city.
Mr.. Smith came into town with
load, and after several raises in
the price made between Mr.. Bur-
tell Cato and Mr.. Ford, the price
getting around $50, Mr.. Steve Nc
Nair, another buyer came along,
and offered Mr.. Smith $40 for the
seed. Not to be out done, Mr..
Ford quietly said Sal, and Mr..
Smith drove on the scales, had his
product weighed and received a
check for the amount at once.
t Cotton seed is getting pretty
valuable when this amount per ton
can be paid for it. The regulation
market price yesterday was $25 to
$27, with fair amount on the
market.-Brookhaven Leader.

reduces the amount of labor in
producing the crop. In Mis-
sissippi an important objection to
this system would be connected
with drainage. / am INCLINED to
think thatit would be better to throw
up beds and in other ways provide
we'll for drainage, rather than to
attempt the checkingsystem. Ex-
periments are now under way that
will soon determine this point ab-
solutely.
Home Supplies.
My text for this short sermon
will be found in DR.. Wards most
excellent article on the subject of
Pellagra and reads as follows:
"Unless we can lay our founda-
ton deep and wide and strong up
on the rock of home supplies, all
other measures are doomed to in
evitable failure. The manufac-
turers and cotton spectators thor
oughly understand this and conf
dently expect us to fail'.
There is one hope and only one
hope for the farmers of Mississip-
pi and that is the growing of every
thing necessary for home consump-
tion. Let US not think, one mo-
ment that our cotton conventions
and warehouses will save US if we
fail to grow our home supplies.
All cooperative schemes of hold
ing or. selling will be of but little
benefit to the farmer who is in
debt for his supplies and the feed
for his teams.
The one. crop system means a
poor soil and a poor soil always
means a poor people. A poor Peo-
pie always means uncomfortable
homes, poorly equipped farms,
very little education, the credit
system, and in fact all that retards
|
civilization. The individual, state,
or nation that practices a one crop
system will certainly come to pow
erty. There is not an individual,
not state or nation in the world

Insmore, Miss, by DR.. Hunter:
"Your letter of Oct. 9th has come

specifically to your inquiries.
I. Undoubtedly, the burning OF
the cotton stalks will destroy some
of the parasites of the boil weevil,
but not all. These parasites go in
TO Information we believe before
the boil weevil and consequently a
great many will escape any treat
ment which will reach the weevll.
In any case the burning OF the
stalks is a much more effective
means of control than the para
sites at present. 1t is therefore per-
fectly clear that the thing to do is
to destroy the plants without refer
ence to the parasites.
2. Where the work is done with
care, l believe there is no danger
whatever of destroying the forests
by burning the cotton stalks.
3. One of the special projects
under way in our investigation is
the possible utilization of diseases
that have come under observation,

our cotton on the market in the
fall forces the price far below an
equitable one.
We have no business to plant
three-fourths of our land in cotton
and go in debt for ordinary farm
supplies. Let US grow our own sup
plies, practice the most rigid econo.
my, and insist on getting all that
we are obliged to buy at the lowest
prices for cash. This is common

but it is entirely too early to pre-
dict any practical results from this
kind of work.
a. The distance that weevils can
penetrate through the earth de-
pends on its texture and the a.
mount of moisture present. In
light sandy soil there is no doubt
that the weeyils can emerge if they
are plowed under as deeply as six
inches. At the same time, they
would undoubtedly not be able to
| emerge from four inches of heavy
stiff earth if it happened to be
packed down by rains. Under US
ual conditions, however, they can
penetrate through about four inch
es of ordinary soil without special
difficulty and with the implements
in use on cotton plantations, it
would generally be entirely i'm
practicable to turn them under a
greater distance. 4
s. 1t is undoubtedly much better
to place the cotton squares that are
picked in cages than to burn. them.
AS you understand this increases
the effectiveness of parasites,
6. We have performed a number
of experiments to determine the
point but there is no appreciable
advantage in running the cotton
rows east and west. 1t is much bet
ter to run them in such way as to
obtain the best drainage of the land.
This facilitates the necessary
rushing of the crop.
II suppose you refer in this
question to a system of cotton
planting known as checking. In
the climate of Texas which is much
drier than that of Mississippi, this
method has been found TO be of
great advantage. 1t lets IN more
