d. c., February 18th, 1909.
Editor Brandon News, Brandon,
Miss. Dear sir: AS The News al
ways takes an interest in every thing
that will promote the welfare of the
people of Mississippi, and especially
everything that will help the farmers.
| write at this season of the year to
suggest that you urge the farmers to
plant larger proportion of cane
this year than usual. / have been
talking up" the molasses product in
Mississippi, up here. and | believe Is
our people would send a few barrels
OF molasses, made in Mississippi, to
Washington, Cincinnati, Chicago and
othern Northern cities, and let them
see and taste it's superiority to the
maple syrup they use, they would dis
card the maple syrup and AXE the
molasses. They only see the molasse
mixed with glucose after the sugar
is extracted and they know nothing
of genuine molasses. Let a ready
market be made for our molasses
and the business of the boil weevil
would take the pest back across the
Mississippi River.
| hope the farmers will more than
double their cane crop.
Faithfully and etc..
