Ye Poem Of Ye Month.

Ye Poem Of Ye Month
Now comes Feb, the month of siosh,
When the streets are All awash
With the ripping waves of siush,
On their angry, onward rush
From the gutter 10 the sea,
Where the waiting fishes be.
Month of sneeZes. month Of shifts,
Month of early springtime whiffs;
Time for rubber and golOsh,
Time for gaudy macintosh:
Scarcely time for bushing rose,
Or for summer underclo'es.
You were wise to have a care
AS to garments that you wear.
If your neither buds are thin,
Wear without your sable skin.
If the same are warm and thick,
Light spring coats are polite.
Keep your toes and spirits dry
As upon your way you ny
Not forgetting nOw's the day
OF the influenziay.
1t were well to use keb
When you travel round In Feb.

State Capital Notes
Weekly Budget of State News Items Gathered BY Or Special
Correspondent At Jackson.
Cotton Acreage Reduction Small.

According to President G. H, High
tower, of the Mississippi division of
the Farmers Union, the cotton acreage
reduction in this state, as compared
with last year, will not exceed 2 per
cent.
This is the smallest estimate that
has yet been made by a crop expert.
President Hightower bases his figures
on information received at Farmers
Union headquarters in this city, and
personal observation during his trav-
els over the state.
1T should be borne in mind that we
had very heavy acreage reduction
last year, and, naturally, should not
expect a very heavy decrease this
year, says President Hightower.
Crop prospects IN some sections of
the state are gloomy, but not so bad as
they have been reported in many in
stances.
1T will take series or neavy rains
to bring out the cotton planted shall
low, or in cloddy ground Practically,
all replanting work has been finished
but the cold nights and lack of moist
ure have retarded termination.
THE cotton crop, generally speak
ing, is about three weeks late. With
ordinarily favorable weather conditions
during the summer, it is not too late
to make fair-sized crop. The late
ness of the season is the principal
drawback. Cotton chopping ought to
be in progress right now throughout
the state, but will venture the state
ment that not one per cent of the
crop has been chopped out"
