test, it shall be shown that other spirits

THE BOIL WEEVIL
Many a Blessing Comes to the Farmer
: in Disguise.

Home and Farm: Many a blessing
comes to the farmer in disguise. For
several years the boil weevi1 created a
panic all over Texas. 1t undoubtedly for
several years did vast damage to certain
territory in Texas. There were men
alarmed who believed # ;,rperiled the
ascendency of America in the cotton
fields.
i he truth Is that the boll weeyil may
be considered blessing to exas. It
forced farmers to resort tc other crops,
an,' it has developed certain counties in
Texas as no other influence had been
able to do. Texas is giving more atten-
|tion to onions, tomatoes anG potatoes,
las well as to the grain CT ,ps, than ever
b. fore. 1t has been taught to do this in
part at least by the boil we.vil
Let us trust that the visitation of the
boil weevil to the Mississippi plantations
Will have like beneficial effect. The
Mi, .iss.opi delta is probably the sEich-
est agricultural country in the world
l. can d versify its agric .lture as few
countries can It needs to turn is atten-
ton to cattle, to grain, to grasses. It
|hesitates to do this because it knows
how to raise cotton, and the Mississippi
planters are like men everywhere else,
they do not like to make change
The boil weevil viii compel many of
them te make the change and in time it
will be change for the better. The
South needs nothing now so much as to
appreciate the value of diversified farm
ing. After that will come an apprecia-
ton of intensified farming-that is
farming on restricted area, with the
labor and money and mind devoted to a
small acreage instead Of large ones,
bringing better results.

was tested was from Meridian. Follow
ling the decision of the Supreme Court,

sale of any beverage containing any per-
centageso of alcohol is illegal, the lid was
lput down on the sale Of all so-called
near beer products in this city today by
the authorities At least hundred deal
ers in Meridian, having large stocks on
hand, are affected.
Near-beer has operated as shield
for the sale Of whiskey and the beer
which is beer. This ruling of the Su-
|preme Court of Mississippi should and
doubtless will settle the near-beer sale
in that State.

Agents. z
All OF which ID NONSENSE Il u the
improved condition Of land which helps
to make it valuable A mine, for in
stance, is valuable according to the
amount of profit it produces. and the
same thing applies to land.
If an acre of orchard in full bearing
will produce 81, 600. at an expense of
$500, that acre of orchard is worth
much more than $1,000.
Delta county has single apple trees
which have yielded $50 each this year.
At that rate it would make an acre of
such trees bring more than 5000 in
the seasons crop, and would clear the
owner more than s1, 200 in the one
years crop. Isn't that land worth
sl 600 an acre?
There are acres of land in cities that
could not be bought for one million, or
ten million dollars.
A bearing orchard on land yielding
good crops of fruit. is as legitimate an
improvement as brick block OF busi-
ness houses.
1t is this class of land for which own
ers have been asking 81 200 per acre.
and even more. Some such land as
this has sold in Delta county the past
year for as much as 81 800 an acre.
And during the same period land has
been sold in Mesa county as high as
S.. 900 an acre, and it was no better, If
as good as that sold in Delta county
for half the money.
Many people at a distance jump to
the conclusion that such improved land
is high. because they do not understand
the situation.
Land in Delta county is not tigh. 1t
is paying proposition and land can
still be bought all the way from $50 an
acre up.
To prove it, this paper can point to
practically every buyer of land in Delta
county within the past five years, as a
profit maker on the natural advance in
value. And this condition will no doubt
hold good for many years to come.
