Outside of the exhibition and

Show was held at Mitchell, 8. D.
Since that time there have been
two Others; one at Mitchell and
one at Sioux Falls. From Jan
uary 18th to 22nd, 1910, will be
held in the city of Mitchell, the
fourth State Corn Show.
The past shows have been
given over entirely to the ex
hibiting and study of corn. AT
the last meeting Of the associa.
ton it was decided that grain
should be added and that the
name of the Association from
now on should be South Dakota

South Dakota is coming to be
a great corn state, but it ia also
q great grain state as we'll. and
it hardly seems right that the
two lines of work should be
separated in 9 state as young as
the State of South Dakota. In

Those In charge wish to make
this next show the best one that
has ever been held in the state.
The corn crop the past season
has been magnificent and there
10 no reason why we should not
have some very fine exhibits at
this show. The oats and wheat

a. much cannot be said of the
barley. but it is hoped that some
portions Of the state can show
nice exhibits Of this crop. Prem
iums are also offered on clover
seed, timothy and alfalfa in order
to stimulate interest in the
grasses and clOvers.
The seed corn situation in the
state this year is very critical be-
cause of the hard freeze coming
early in the season without
the corn being in shape for this
freeze. On this account it is
pointed out that the corn school
which is held in connection with
the show, should be attended by
every corn grower and everyone
interested in seed. corn. For
this season more than any other,

The Crop Acreage For 1909.

Mississippi Union Advocate.
The matter of crop acreages for tne
year is in the limelight of public at
tention, as is usual at this time of
year. While it is too early to cor
rectly estimate the acreage. a good
idea can be had at this time. The
Department OF Agriculture for Missis-
sippi believes that it has one of the
best reporting systems in the South.
The experience for the past two years
Strengthens that belief. Last year its
estimate was proven to be the most
reliable that was made. even the L.
S, officials conceding this when the
season had ended. The boards of
supervisors consider the matter of
acreage and condition in thier meet
inss and make the reports to this Of
flee
The reports received during the
first week in May indicated that the
cotton acreage would be about the
same as last year, with possibly a
slight reduction. A number of the
southwestern counties where the
weevil has arrived, show a decided
falling off in cotton acreage. even TO
cutting the crop in half, as Adams re-
ports. and one-fourth as shown by the
Warren and Wilkinson reports. Those
in a position to know do not discredit
these statements. 1t has been done
and the land planted to other crops,
largely corn.
The corn acreage has been decid-
eddy increased, nearly doubled in
Adams, and increased from 10 to 25
per cent in others. Forage crops will
show large INCREASE also. Diversifi-
cation is taking a strong hold upon
| our people, even where the weevil
has not yet arrived and will not for
some time yet. The people general
ly are taking a decidedly sensible
view of the situation and will win the
fight without serious trouble.

An Essential of Stock Raising.

Starkville (Miss.) Southern Farm Ga
zette.
One of the essentials of successful
stock raising is good pasturage; and
one of the greatest handicaps to sue
cessful stock raising in many sections
of the south is the lack of suitable
pastures.
A good pasture means, first of all,
plenty of grass, but there are Other
things necessary to make a really good
pasture. 1t must have water and
shade as well as grass; and in any
ceeded range conditions it must be
enclosed.
Now of shade and water there is no
scarcity in the south, and we have
the grass too, if we would only real
ize it. But when ii comes to fences
we are tremendously handicapped.
1t is safe to say that there are
thousands of farmers in every South
ern state who would grow many more
and much better cattle and horses
hogs and sheep, if they had better
pastures for them to run in. YET it Is
easy to find all over the cotton bell

the finest pasture grasses-in the

sive crop at the seasons end. We
heard not long since a farmer talking
of how he wanted to kill out the Ber-
muda grass on a poor hillside pre-
paratory to getting it ready to SOW in
grass. All that he needs to do-au1
all that thousands of other farmers
need to dds to put fence around
that field and some stock on it and
give it a little attention for a few
years, keeping down briers and bushes
and giving it an occasional harrow
ing. and he would have a pasture
which would pay him ten times as
much as he is now getting from those
acres.
/ A good permanent pasture should

on every farm; and in the despised

culture say that mo grass bears pas

! Hon. H. E Blakeslee, commissions
Of agriculture and commerce, who hai

and attention for several years TO al
effort 10 increase the production OF
Mississippi molasses, and then tc
make it easy for the farmers who dc
grow sugar cane to find a ready mar.
ket for the product, is issuing another
interesting argument on that subject
Mr.. Blakeslee says:
Every man. woman and child in Mis-
sissippi is offered an opportunity of
aiding the farmers of South Missis-
sippi in creating a market for their
splendid syrup about which so much
has been said and written by the COM
missioner. The farmers are putting
up more of it each year and some work
will be necessary to create a demand
that will provide a market at fair
prices. In this movement everybody
who has an interest in the future well
fare and prosperity Of the state, can
do something 10 assist.
The department Of agriculture has
for three years or ever since its Or
ganization been endeavoriug to create
a market for this syrup The peopel
can assist in this work by encouraging
its use by others and using it them
selves if they do not make their syrup
at home If you are going to buy, call
for Mississippi syrup. Ask your
neishbor to do the same thing Call
on your friends in the towns and sug-
gest to them that if they would aid
the farmer that they buy and use Mis-
sissippi syrup. 1t is excellent and alb
solutely pure. While it cannot be
bought quite as cheap as the glucose
compounds on the market, ii is far bet
ter and worth more money. 1t is be-
ing put up in quart, half-gallon and
gallon cans for the genearl market
Every can is guaranteed to keep.
The strongest competition found
comes from the Georgia cane, a syrup
similar to what We have to offer. That
is, the Impressed Georgia syrup A
great deal of it is processed and mix
ed with glucose and sold at a lower
rate. Hundreds of thousands of gal
Ions of this syrup is brought here and
sold each year. Let's use our own
syrup in its stead and give to our
farmers a market for what they pro-
duce. The farmer in North Missis-
sippi can use the syrup made by the
brother in South Mississippi and the
South Mississippi farmer will recipro-
cate by buying of the North MISSISSIPPI
pi farmer what he has to offer.

1t has begun to settle now into a
