ges for growing restorative and
food crops, and yet no country
makes so little use of them.

BY rotating cotton, corn and peas
and oats, followed by peas, the La.
Station at Calhoun brougot cotton
up to a bale and more, the corn
yield to 81 bushels, and the oats in
one cast to over 90 bushels and
peavine hay to over two tons. By
this simple rotation of crops with
a very moderate application of
ground phosphate rock, the poor
est farm in Mississippi may soon
be built up to where it will pro-
duce 40 bushels of corn or one bale
of cotton per acre with as much
ease and certainty as the richest
acre in the great Yazoo Delta. It
is being done on many farms in
this state. Why will we continue

to-day. The negro would not

Johnson to go to work, he grew
insolent and abusive and attacked
Mr.. Johnson, striking him several
times. Mr.. Johnson, after trying
several times to stop the negro's
assault, and seeing that it was use

the negro with deadly effect. The
negro died in few minutes Spec

We are told in bulletin issued
from the La. Station that an acre
of Spanish peanuts grown On poor
pine land at Calhoun contained
Io2 pounds of nitrogen, worth at
commercial fertilizers value at
least $4,000. An acre of velvet
beans contained I9I pounds and
an acre of cowpeas Io8 pounds
These crops made from two to
three and half tons of feed stnffs
richer in food elements than wheat
bran. When such feedstuffs can
be fed to stock without any serious
loss in fertilizing value, IS there
any excuse for poor land and poor

For the amount of labor involved
no work upon the farm pays bet
ter than seed selection. Within a
seed is the minute germ that has
all the characteristics of the pre-
ceding generation of that species
with the notifications which the
previous culture, soil, climate, and
SELECTION has given it, and these it
transmits to the future plants. In
addition, the seed contains little
food to help the germ until the
plant can become established in
the soil,
While the types in seed are per-
sistent along general lines, within
Ehsir limits they admit of great
modification by selection and cul-
aviation. In cotton the size of the
boil, the length and quality of the
lint, the time of maturity, the ten
dency to abund int foliage, the
the height and form of the stalks,
and other plant characteristics may
be modified at will by the farmer

The improvement OF corn by Sc
lection is so simple that there is
no reason why each farmer should
not give it his attention. Every
farmer should go in the field and
select his seed corn. The stalk is
of fully as much importance as is
the ear.
An ideal stalk of corn is one
without suckets, thick at base with
well deveveloped roots, a. shown
by its vigorous growth, and bear
ing a good ear or ears about four
feet from the ground. The stalk
when mature should be between 8
and 10 feet high.
An ideal ear of corn is nearly
cylindrical in shape, tapering on
ly slightly from the butt to the tip.
The tip should be fairly abrupt.
The rows of corn should be straight
and compact, commencing close to
the shank and extending clear ov-
er the end of the cob to the tip.
The cob should be of medium
size, and about one-half the dame
ter of the ear at distance of one
third from the base, and thelength
of the ear should be about four
times its diameter. Extra large or
extra long ears should be avoided
as much as small ears. The grains
of the ear should be of uniform
size and should fit snugly. They
should be fairly long, nearly flat
on the sides, and rightly taper
ing on both sides.

which originated from a defective
fue. The house was occupied by
Mr.. and Mrs. William L. Lloyd,
who lost practically all OF their be-

the dwelling to the amount of $1,000,
about half of its value, but none on
the future.
At the death of Mrs. Emma

Letter From starkviIIe.

Take the Farmers Short Course
in Agriculture and go to Stark
ville," said ]. NJ. Taylor of Porl
Gibson to me.
I replied, "I will. for we have tc
adapt ourselves to new methods,
and 1t will repay me.
Mr. Taylor's words were an inspi.
ration for me to do better things, and
the way to do them is found among
the experts of our Agricultural
College. The farmers here attend
ing these courses have come to ac-
Iquire theory with practice, and
when they go home at the end of
the course they will place over their
farmsteads practice with theory.
No one can demonstrate a theory
without practice, and no practice
can be solved without theory. We
have in Mississippi a grand body
of men, some with the enthusiasm
of youth, some with the conserva-
tism of ripe manhood and some
with the radicalism for new farm
ing conditions and methods.
Starkville is the intellectual cen
ter of agricultural Mississippi, but
it has not yet accomplished the
mean that is dear to every Missis-
sippian that has his country's well
fare at heart-a diversified agricul-
ture and a diversified husbandry
that prevailed before the Civil War
and made this Northeast Mississip-
pi country the Egypt of the Con-
federacy and its base for supplies.
The war changed these thrifty peo-
pie into one crop farming system.
They have all the foundation to
make a prosperous people-the
breeding of live stock that would
equal the limestone regions of Ken
lucky, for they are underlaid with
a rotten limestone foundation that
is beneficial to grasses and cloyers.
1t makes handsome men and beau
tiful woman. The geniuses of
America come from limestone
countries, though musicians and
baristers come from seaport cities
where a fish food gives them phos-
phorus for their brains.
The lecturer on animal husband
ry, Prof Archibald Smith, impress
es on his hearers that the shortest
road to success.is through the hog,
and that should be the prime OBJ
ject to better financial condition.
In the town of Starkville, the
best stock country ~ the state, mer-
chants sell to tie town and coun-
try trade six hundred pounds of
pork every week, brought from the
Western packing centers to enrich
the farmers of the corn belt, to In
crease the value of their lands, to
pay more taxes for better schools
and better highways. All this
should be stopped, and begin by
keeping that money at home to live
better, to educate our children and
to buy luxuries Away with the
policy of selling feedstuffs and
by our merchants. There
would be greater profits to them in
selling the luxuries than the neces-
sites of life. The most common
breeds of hogs in Mississippi are
the razor back, cross breeds or COM
mercial hogs, Berkshire. Poland
China and Duroc-J Jersey. The razor
back would improve Into fine ba-
con hog If crossed right. Cross
breeds give two qualities. lean and
fat; and the pure bred Berkshire |
possesses that quality. The Poland
China. Dnroc-Jersey and Chester
White are American breeds aud
have all the same type If 1t wereI
not for their colors and markings. !

The 1910 Army rIanoeuvers.

AnS 4S4O army lAduOeuVerSs
The address of Lieut.. Cofey,
quoted in the Herald. is calculated
to give impetus to the idea of Sc
curing the 1910 army manoeuvers at
Vicksburg, an idea that has been
much discussed by Mayor Hayes
and other public spirited citizens.
As stated by the lieutenant, the
proposition should be entirely feas-
ible under the policy of the War
Department to use the famous bat
tie grounds of the country for fields
of demonstration of the art of army
manoeuvering. Tt is the general
scheme of the army staff to repeat
in sham the strategies and coils
ions of the armies that strove for
mastery ON these historic scenes
near fifty years ago. So far, Ma
nassas. Gettysburg and we believe
other battles have been thus util-
ized. They have proved of such
interest and instruction to the army
that the plan of these object les
sons has been popularized and JUS
titled.
To the student of the art of war
no other campaign can be more In
teresting than that covering the
movements and the battles that cul-
minated In the investment and
siege of Vicksburg. Beginning
with Grants crossing of the river
below Grand Gulf, results were de-
termined to much greater extent
by marching and. manoeuvering
than fighting. 1t was superirity
here that placed him in a position
when the waiting game was sure to
win in time. Nor would interest
in a duplication of the Vicksburg
campaign prove of interest alone to
the army. In any studious COM
parison of the battles of the war
for determining between their de-
cislve influence in bringing the fate
of the Confederacy, the historian
is bound to give precedence to
Vicksburg. More and more as the
smoke of the sectional combat
drifts into oblivion, revealing e.
vents in their ultimate significance
does this become apparent: That
Vicksburg and not Gettysburg
opened the way to Appomattox.
These observations are only in
dulged as outlining the argument
and the Influence that will tend to
bring the consolidated army ma
noeuvers here in 1910. The pano-
ranic movement, If a faithful pic
.ure of the campaign that gave
Grants army precedent, would be-
gin with the crossing of the river
1t Bruinsburg, and then to Port
Gibson, to Raymond and Jackson,
back to Champions Hill. 10 the

Editor ReveiIle

has been often agitated in your col
umns in the past and should be
brought forward again as prime
factor to be in our progress. l
deem it pert at this time to say the

ments that will necessarily bring
about a different condition, and
unless we succeed in annihilating
him entirely, SO that we can fall
back in the old rut of one crop, it
will be a condition that we will
grow pounds of as our resources
are developed.
Education is the slogan of the
day and not wrong by any means,.
and why it has SO long slumbered
in the past is perplexing to a
thoughtful mind. In all ages of
the world and with all people it
has been the only mears of attain
ing success in every department of
life. Education is defined as ''the
power of reasoningf and in what
ever way this poweris attained is
equally important and effective as
ANY system of schools. This is
why we have had national charac-
tiers and great men who have nev-
er gone to school. Be it far from
me to deplore schools, but there
are other measures by which we
can be educated, and prominentI
among them are these fairs. They
not only educate the young, but
the old, and bring about an inter-
est that is incalculable, for when
we become educated upon our re-
sources,-probabilities and posi-
bilities of farming endeavor, great
er will be our strides to attain the
goal of perfect success.
We have a corporation, an i'm
provement and development league
in Port Gibson, made up of some
of the best men of the country,
with capital on hand and forthcom-
ing, to start this ball to rolling. Itl
seems to me, in the absence of oil
wells, gold, silver and coal mines
in the country, they might turn
their resources to other develop
ment purposes and thus become
benefciaries as well as promoters,
to their native heath. I humbly /
believe it could be made a paying
to them, and lasting
benefit to our community, especial
ly to farmers.
What say you :
IUD BOLLS.
The Reveille has always beenl
heartily IN favor of a county fair-
one begun on a modest scale, that
we may learn as we progress. Our
people have no conception of thel
progress, especially along the line
Of small live stock, the county is
making, aud a fair would bring
his development to light. The
colt show held here two years ago
was an eye opener to many of US,
Ind the Reveille regrets that the
show was not perpetuated.
In addition to showing what we
are producing, fair would be a
great encouragement and stimulus
% our farmers, and a friendly ri-
yalry would spring up which would
mean much in developing the
county.
