depend in the south Oh Vlle hoi'''
,rn states for your meat, mules,
nay, grain, etc. You will grow
more corn, feed more hogs ana
cattle, raise more fruit and yege'
tables of all kinds, and by diver
your crops, your farm
prs will in a few years be lnde'
pendent, as they are now IN
many Of our northern states.
I have a farm of 2sO acres
three and a half miles from here'
I drove out there this morning;
saw three teams blowing corn,
sixty acres of as fine clover and
timothy meadows as l ever saw
forty acres of fine oats, an acre
of potatoes, twenty-five Holsteln
COWS that are being MIXED on
the place and the cream seper'
ated from the milk and sold,
which now brings myself and
my tenant eace about STD per
month, and the milk is being fed
to fifty Duroc Jersey pigs. l
found the tenants wife looking
after about 100 chickens that
have recently Matched and Will
be ready for market about Christ
mas time, together with as many
more. Two year old yearling
and sucking colts in the pasture
were looking fine, also a dozen
spotted Holstein calves, and they
are beauties, are growing into
i
money. l mention this simply
to enforce my point that diversi,
fed farming is the proper
method for reaching satisfactory
net results and your farmers
will very soon learn this by ex
perience. My Judgment is thai
the farmer who would spend al
his time and energy in growing
cabbage or tomatoes or any othe'
one variety of vegetables woult
be even more foolish than ne VIII
grew nothing but cotton, henc
l will urge this upon your asso

abandon cotton growing, nor cor

of crop as are especially adapte

Letter from Capt. Merry.

ceived by Mr.. Robert Lewis edl-
tor of the Woodville Republican,
from Capt. ]. F. Merry, General
Immigration Agent of the ILL
nois Central Railroad, at Man
chester, Iowa:
Dear Sir: Replying to yours
of the 29th unfortunately | am
not entirely familiar with the
method of organization to which
you refer. We have on our line
q number of fruit and truck
growers associations, but they
are strictly local, and | have neV
er had any occasion to inquire
into the character of such organ
iations. 1t might be well for
YOU to drop a line to Mr.. H. t.
Lott, Crystal Springs, Mlssls'
sippi. l think he could give you
the style of their organization
which is one of the most success
full anywhere in the country
AS to the matter of freight rates,
of course l have no jurisdiction
over rates, and have referred
YOUR letter to our Mr.. G. F. Yer
lander, Travelling Freight Agent,
lVicksburg, in whose territory
Woodville is located. Mr.. Yer
lander has had several years ex'
perience in handling truck, and
would be an excellent man to
have at your meeting of July oath.
Possibly if you would drop him a
line at Vicksburg, extending an
Invitation, he would accept, and
could not only give you freight
rates, but freight accOmmoda
tions, which is a thing perhaps
more to be considered than TIM
rates. l have encouraged these
associations at various points To-
several reasons, prominen
among which is the good that al
ways comes from getting peopl
. together who are engaged in tn
same line of business to discus
! it in all of it's phases. For il

MAY SUE THE
TERRITORY
Man Who Received a "Dun T"
Postal May Bring Action
for Damages.

The right of the Territory to issue
postal cards addressed to taxpayers
calling their attention to amounts
claimed to be due the government and
on which suit will be brought if un-
paid, may be the basis of a suit for
damages.
An attorney, acting for a client who
received a postal card of this kind,
has the matter under consideration.
The cards, of course, are sent through
the open mail, and it appears to be a
direct violation of the postal laws, in
that it exposes the addressee to en-
barrassment, and gives information to
the public generally that he owes
money.
The laws on this subject are strict,
and whether "dunn card issues from
private corporation, or an individual,
or the government, it amounts to the
same thing.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1909-12-03
CAMPBELL DENIES
SENSATIONAL STORY

Superintendent Marston Campbell
denies in toto the sensational story
published yesterday afternoon in the
Bulletin to the effect that he, on behalf
of the Territory, has laid claim to pri-
vate wharves.
81 have made no such claim,' says
Mr.. Campbell, "and there is nothing
to warrant the story. The only possible
foundation for it is the fact that there
are two or three landings and wharves
in the Territory supposedly belonging
to private interests which are on land
owned by the Territory. There is one
on Maui and there are two on Hawaii.
The Territory does not claim the pri-
vate wharves throughout the Territory
and there was never any such a ques-
ton raised, except in these three spe-
cal cases where the landings are on
land owned by the government. Where
landings and wharves are on land own
ed in fee by private interests the Ter
ritory makes no claim of ownership.
