GET MISE AND
BEGIN OVERSEEING
Greenwood Cltlzens Arousja1 to Op.
portunitles 10 Delta.

The cold weather Of the past weel
put q temporary stop to operations on
the farms and plantations here, but il
wa not sever enough to aus much
damage, and planters here seem very
optimistic for one of the best seasons
in many years, and the production from
this region this year will be enor-
NOUS.
The cotton acreage will not be re.
duced, but planters on every hand are
going into the raising of corn, hogs.
chickens and cattle, and some are be.
ginning to seo the wisdom Of raising
their mules and their horses and are
making preparations On their planta-
tions for doing this.
GA. Wilson, Jr., has purchased a
blooded stallion for his plantation, and
there r others who will, and still
others who have already done SO.
Near Greenwood is to be found a man,
W. s. Vardaman, who is building up and
making a model farm. He has pur-
chased some fine Berkshire and Poland
China hogs, receiving four the past
week, for which he paid $40.
He has four large mares and keeps
them bred to foal in the fall, and raises
his own work stock.
The draining of farm lands in this
section has reached the point that ii
makes an opening here for a tile plant
and operations are soon to begin on
such a plant, largo enough to supply
this and surrounding sections.
Then, too, the delta is to have a rice
farm, and it will be in this county, and
it will be on a large scale. Practically
all arrangements have been completed
whereby D. Runyon, of Stuttgart, Ark.
will come here for this purpose.
The Mississippi Valley Transports
ton Company is rapidly selling the
block Of stock allotted to this county
and they promise to have operations OF
the Yazoo to this city under way the
coming fall and winter.
The vast possibilities of diversified
farming are slowly dawning, but surely
in this section, and there are many
signs of the new order in things agri
cultural to be seen on every side.

HOW FAR OR succEss2

How far after all. have the men

His passing from the living to the
hereafter was almost without warning
many of his closest friends not being
apprised Of his Illness prior TO dis
solution. His going on the anniyer-
sary OF the Naiioh's birth made the
death all the more remarkable and
noteworthy.
Yet the people Of our country were
looking toward an oasis city OF the
