WILLING to TAKE
CHANCES ON ELECTION

this measure controls only as to
street railway franchises, but
friends of the new railroads insist
that it also bars an appeal from
the council on steam road fran
chise.
The news that an appeal in
street railway franchise is barred
by legislative action will be sad
intelligence for the friends of d.
rect legislation.
Notwithstanding the fact there
may be a legislative act to the con-
trary, advocates Of the terminal
rate clause in the franchise, who
hold the power at this moment, are
willing to take their chances on a
special election, to be held either
officially as the will of the people
or as an advisory step for the
guidance of the council. Members
of the city council have expressed
themselves favorable to the idea, so
it seems that the only thing to do
is to give the people chance to be
heard at the ballot box

MAY have CANNING
FACTORY IN JACKSON
Special to The Neps.

Special to The Neps.
Jackson, Miss, Aug. 2O-If a can
ming factory Is established in Jack
| son, and it seems one will be, this
enterprise will probably lead to the
cultivation of figs ON large scale.
Mississippi produces some of the
finest figs that grow, and In large
quantities, but there has never been
more tnan a local market for this
fruit.
| The promoters of the canning fac
tory. which probably will be organ
ized in a short time, will offer to take
all the figs that can be raised in this
section at a given price, provided the
canning factory is established. Mr..
Witty, who has been soliciting stock
subscriptions, has arranged with To-
cal dealers to handle the entire out
put of the factory, and thinks he will
be ready to begin operations next
spring, when the fruit and vegetable
season opens.
The factory will want figs to put up,
not only for the local market, but for
shipment North and West. The
product of the trees around Jackson
at this time will only furnish limited
supply, and there is talk of establish
ing large fig orchard, one with about
80 acres, the product of which would
be sold to the canning factory.
1t is impossible to ship figs, but
with canning factory they could be
canned and shipped, and it is be-
lieved there would be ready market
for all the figs the factory could send
out. Those who have been discuss
ing the proposed fig orchard have
selected tract of several acres of
land near this city, and as soon as
the canning factory Ia secured they
propose to lease or buy this land and
plant fig trees.
Mississippi figs are famed for their
flavor, but they have never been
raised as a money crop. Many per-
sons have from one to a dozen trees
and derive a good income from the
sale of the fruit for local consumption,
and with proper encouragement the
production of figs could be made a
paying industry here.

Col. Leffingwell statistics show that

heretofore has been devoted to the

by the scientific cultivation of wheat,
corn, oats, barley and other grains
and farm products.
In Mississippi, for instance. where
there are a number of Boys Clubs"
organized for the purpose Of studying
and developing scientific farming, IT
has been found that land formerly
devoted to the culture of cotton, and
which when utilized for the raising OF
grain in a desultory way yielded from
13 to Is bushels of corn to an acre,
now is producing on an average OF
go bushels to the acre under the intel
ligent cultivation given 1t by these
Boys Clubs" Other sections Of the
State are producing from 25 to 30
bushels Of oats and from 40 to so
bushels of wheat to the acre, the quail
ity of all these grains being equal to
the best products Of the so-called
grain states"
And what is true Of Mississippi also
is true of other Southern States, as
