DryLandCrops
Crop Rotation
BY ALFRED ATKINSON

Since crops vary in the ability to
produce satisfactory returns under
conditions of scant moisture supply:
and again since certain systems of
crop rotation seem especially adapted
to the dry farm, a discussion of these
two phases Of the dry farm subject is
presented herewith.
In order that Il crop may be salts
factory ON the dry farm it must pos
sess the following characters: strong
and comparatively deep roofing sys-
tenn.
Strong early growth is important
in ORDER that the crop may make the
fullest use of the moisture that falls
during April, May and June. Dur
ing this period the soil is frequently
cold, and weak growing plants come
along slowly. The crop that will
bring the highest returns must be
able to make rapid growth during
these months. in order that it will be
well Oh toward maturity when the dry
weather sets in the latter part of June
and during July. Ii the crop is fully
developed at this time the moisture
i'm the soil will be sufficient to mature
yield of plump grain. while if the
moisture in the soil has to be eNpend-
ed in growing the stems after the
rains cease, a small yield of only part
ly filled grains may be looked for. 1t
is because of the root and stem devel-
opment during the previous fall which
makes for early maturity, that fall
sown crops usually do better than
spring seeded ones on the dry farm.
Throughout the dry farming areas
the rainfall comes at varying inter
walls and in widely varying amounts.
Some seasons, average showers fall
periodically and SO bring the crops
along under most favorable condi-

the largest crowd ever seen at
Tupelo. and every one is putting
forth his or her best effort to
make the Fair a success in every
way. In the parade Tuesday
the business men have gotten to
gether 35 floats representing the
different kinds of businesses in
the City. These floats and the
parade, will be one of the fea-
lures of the Fair. The ladies
of the city have gotten to geth-
er, and these floats and the sue.
cess of the parade will be due to
their efforts. A large crew of
men are at work getting every
thing in shape, and the Fair will
be pulled off on scheduled time,

drive out the companies that cut
your sacred rates made by the
rating company or destroy conf
dence in them so that the people
will not patronize them. you
regulars will have the people
where you want them.
= No, COL, l think it a pity you
did not stay in and get ju,lg-
ment of the court vindicating
you for there will always be
these who will believe there is
not only a shadow of foundation
for the charge against you and
your company but a large pre-
ronderence of proof that you are
both guilty.
T h e law in this state was
enacted to give INDEPENDENT
companies and CUT RATE COM
panies the right to do business
in this state and to encourage
them in their independence in
the matter of rates and conduct
of their business and in fact to
make all companies doing busi-
ness in this state independent,
and the effort to abridge this
right is what caused this litiga-
ton. If the law is wrong you are
in the position to take the initia-
tive in changing it, but so long as
it is the law l am going to do my
best to see it enforced. | am
going to work at it awhile any
way.
Now COL, no good thing can
come to you or your company at
which | will not rejoice, but you
must get in harmony with the
laws of your state before | can
help you.
If you want further illumina-
ton of this important question |
make you this proposition:
l will meet you iu Meridian
any day or night you will fix and
we will discuss this question be-
fore the people,, and then we
will go to other places in the
state and we will try and get up
some interest in the question
such as you seem to think is de-
sirable and your wish will be re-
allied. We will get the people
to looking on both sides. We
will have a regular ELECTRI-
CAL ILLUMINATION.
Very Sincerely your old friend
and admirer, sympathizer and
compatriot,
