You came to their door in the night

Of friends, you called the man 10 the

RI|RRANK WILL BE ASKED
EXPERIMENT With COTTON
length of l IL or even l "a inches.
Where Results Are Expected.

And it is right here that Mr.. Bur-
banks experiments are expected to
bring the most notable results.
The Floradora and the much desired
sea island cotton can be grown only in
certain magic sections of the South
known generally as "the belt and the
coast islands of Georgia and Florida
The strip in which can be grown the
Floradora cotton, for instance, is only
from 40 to 60 miles in width, running
irregularly thru the Southern states in
direction roughly east and west.
1t may wei come about that Mr..
Burbank can achieve a cross between
the Floradora, long fibered and ex-
tremely sensitive and some shorter
fibered, harder plant, producing a sta
pie of 1 IA inches or more that will
grow and thrive throughout the entire
cotton raising section of the South.
The production of a longer and more
evenly fibered cotton, flourishing stur-
Oily in all parts of the South. would
naturally add millions of dollars an
nually to the revenue derived from the
greatest agricultural product of the
section.
Luther Burbank working patiently
away at his gardens in southern Cali
fOrnia puarded from tho affIiotiva at
tentions of cranks by three stalwart
henchmen has done many wonderful
things. The result of the request of
the Georgia legislature will be awaited
with more than ordinary interest by
the people of the South.

BUYING GOLD BRICKS.

People are still willing to buy gold
bricks" figuratively speaking, and
many of them need but little coaxing
Just now the country is being paved
with Gold Bricks" in the shape of
land schemes and it seems the easiest
thing in the world to dispose of them
by offering something in some other
state. There are people in Mississippi
who have bought cactus covered lands,
in south Texas, that a "Greaser"
couldn't ride a broncho through and
they have paid good prices, though
you could not possibly sell the same
people cut-over lands in their own
state that are ten times more valuable
than the arid lands they bought in
Texas OF course the Gold Brick"
business is thriving in this state
There are shrewd men who, knowing
the advantages of this country are
selling lands at unreasonable prices to
people who think they are making an
investment, but who really are being
buncoed and who, when they find it
out will "cuss" the man who sold them
the land and the country in which it is
located. The News thinks that some
steps should be taken at once to stop
this kind of fraud, for it partakes of
fraud and is an injury to the best in
terests of the state.
There. are no cut-over lands in Mis-
sissippi worth thirty dollars per acre
unless they are very close to some
good city, and we mG/ be quite sure
that the men who are trying to sell
the lands at such prices are not offer
ing that kind of land.

cUT.oVER LANDS IN MISSISSIPPI
mes-Democrat.


Times Democrat.
Mississippi newspapers comment ap-
provingly upon the announcement by
several prominent lumbermen of South
Mississippi of a plan to hasten the
settlement and cultivation of cut-over
lands in that section. For some years
the need of organized measures to that
end has been admitted. Constant en-
largemnt of the cut-over area by the
operation of scores of sawmills has in
creased that need. A portion of the
lands has been occupied and put under
cultivation by native farmers. Here
and there individuals, or lumber COM
undertakes to develop their own lands
inducing outsiders to come in. But
the rate of progress, as compared with
the progress of denudation, has been
much too slow. In addition, those in
terested in the movement have con-
stantly complained that many owners
of these lands held them at prices
much too high and discouraging to
prospective settlers of small means.
Under a plan devised by three lum-
bermen of the Hattiesburg district it is
proposed to organize a holding COM
pany. One of them, according to the
report. has offered to transfer to the
proposed company 5000 acres of cut
over land, taking in payment therefor
stock in the company. On the secur-
lily of the lands it is proposed to Dor
row sufficient money to advertise them
for sale, and it is stipulated the re-
port goes, that they shall be sold at
price attractive to those very home
seekers of moderate means who have
been repealed in the past by the high
prices asked.
Other owners of cut-over lands will,
it is understood, be invited to join in
the enterprise, which promises if sue
cessful to open for immediate settle
iment thousands of acres now lying idle
and wholly unproductive. The advant-
ages to flow from such a movement
should be very great. The cultivation
of these lands, whose agricultural
value was long ago demonstrated, will
add to the taxable wealth of the state,
while the growth of population will in
crease it's commerce The landowners
themselves should reap the rewards of
their enterprise and public spirit in
the increased value of their remaining
lands as they are cleared of timber
and made ready in their turn for set
Element. South Mississippi's develop
ment and prosperity for some years
past has depended largely upon the
lumber industry which. in the very
nature of things, must decline before
many years. Business sense as well
as public spirit urges the settlement
and cultivation of these vast areas of
denuded lands, and the fixing of a
rice within the reach of small farmers
and prospectors who must largely be
depended upon to develop them may as
well be accepted once for all as a con-
dition precedent to their sale and set
Element.

SET THE EXAMPLE.

The News has already commented
on the order of City Marshal Williams
to property owners to cut the weeds
and that reminds us that it would be
a good idea for the city to get an ex
ample along this line which would
be encouraging to others. Take the
Main street school grounds for in
stance. The weeds there need the
scythe and should be cut at once. What
lie true of Main street school is true
of every other part of the city and it
certainly is not becoming to threaten
punishment to the citizen for failing to
do that which the city. does not do.
We do not mean by this that Marshal
Williams has not done the proper thing
for he has; but we do insist that the
weeds in the school yards should be
cut at once in order to encourage by
example, that which the law requires |
the citizen to do. 1t might not be out
of place to remind the county commits
sioners that the court house yard
needs little attention along that line.
