state will devote more time and at
tention to foodstuffs in the future,
which means the farms of the South,
like those of the West, will be made
self-supporting while whatever cotton
is raised will be the real money crop.
This does not necessarily mean re-
duction in the cotton crop, because,
with more farmers and fewer mer'
chants or day laborers in the cities
and towns, the production of cotton
can be maintained, at the same time
increasing the production of food
stuffs.
Mississippi is in better position to
produce everything required for food
and clothing than almost any other
state. The soil of this state will pro-
duce practically everything that is
raised in other states, and in paying
crops, too

l have said, to bring about this condi-
ton. Good roads and the telephone
will aid this movement greatly, as
these will bring the farmer nearer the
city, and there will not be that feel
ing of isolation that once obtained
about the farmers of the country. The
telephone is being largely used by the
farmers. 1t is here to stay, while a
system of good roads must be built
through every state and every coun-
try.
You are going to feel the changed
conditions in Mississippi, | think,
next year. l have been pretty well
over the state the last few weeks, and
from what | can learn the farmers
are going in more for hogs, cattle,
stock and corn, and less for cotton.
They must change from the latter
crop, or the boil weevil will bankrupt
everyone of them. Mississippi is
strictly an agricultural state, but it
should become manufacturing and
commercial center in few years, but

the finest lands in the world here,
much of which is untouched by the
pillow, and it is only question of time
till the people who went to the cities
and towns a few years ago, will re-
turn to the farms. In fact, some of
them are doing this now, but not to
such an extent as you will note later.

farm, said Mr.. Barkwell. People who
quit the farm few years ago to en-
ter other business pursuits have come
to realize that they can make more
money farming than any other line
of business, and many of the farms of
the extreme West will become more
productive as result of this move
ment, which is destined to extend all
over the country in a short time.
Our population Is increasing by
the millions every year, and while we
produced enough foodstuffs to supply
the demand at home and abroad a
few years ago, it is impossible for us
with this constant drifting to the cit
les, to secure the necessary farm la
Dor to cultivate our lands as they
should be. The farmers are to blame,
to large extent, at least, for the
high prices of meats, especially the
Southern farmers, who depend entire
ly upon the West, or did for many
years, not only for their bacon and
bread, but for corn and other feed
stuffs for stock and cattle. 1t was
rare, few years ago, to find South
ern farmer producing enough meat
to supply his own demands.
But with the present cost of living
there is nothing for the farmer to do
but purchase foodstuff for man and
beast. He must do it, or it will cost
him more to buy these commodities
than his crop of cotton will be worth.
You will see general change in the
course of few years, with prices 60

years ago, but it is with the cities, as

TAFT FOR IRRIGATION
Hopes Congress Will Provide
for Bond Issue.
HE WANTS TO HELP WEST
Impeded by Opposition to Conserva-
ton Measures-Mondell Sees
Him About It.
he WANTS TO HELP WEST

Western statesmen who want an is
sue of $50, 900 in bonds or certii-
Gates to take care of irrigation prof.
ects are beginning to worry about
getting that much money out of the
government at this session.
They are urging President Taft to
put his big, strong shoulder to the
wheel and help them get the legisla-
ton authorizing the issue. The Presi-
dent has favored aid for the western
irrigation enterprises for some time,
and will be glad to see something done
by Congress.
Representative Mondell Of Wyoming
conferred with the President yesterday
about this bond issue and found the exec
utive, as heretofore, DESTROYS Of aiding the
western people to get what they want.
There is disposition on the part OF some
representa- tiveS. however, to place TINS
bond issue in the rear of the conservation
bills of the administration, particularly
that giving the White House authority
to make Withdrawals of public lands from
entry.
These senators and representatives have
found, it is stated by several or those VINO
have studied the situation. that many
western congressman, who are STRIVING 10

time. standing in the way OF the passage
of the withdrawal and other dis lney
are overwhelmingly in favor or the west
getting all the money it can from the ad-
ministration. but are also willing TO see
the administration conservation bills put
so far out of the way that they will never
be heard of again.
The House has already passed the
withdrawal BILL and there has been taik
of irving to get the Senate to combine
a withdrawal measure with an authorlza-
ton for bond issue. This looks too
much like trading to suit seine elements
and is not likely to be adopted.
