MUCH CORN IN MISSISSIPPI
State VIII Make Largest Crop This
Year In History-One Hundred
Bushels to Acre.

The Mississippi agent Of the bureau
OF statistics makes the following com
ment in regard to the corn crop OF
that state:
Mississippi will this year make the
largest corn crop In the history OF the
state-or within my knowledge at
least. The crop is made and largely
gathered and the yield will be large.
In many sections on small acreages
more than one hundred measured
bushels per acre have been gathered.
For the first time considerable corn
will be shipped from the county In
which 1t was made. Recently parties
went before the railroad commission
In this state and asked for and re.
celved rates on corn to elevators. etc.
Heretofore there was so little corn
made for shipping that the rates were
never asked for.

Foal Shows.

Enterprising owners OF stations
who have established foal shows
where the produce OF their horses
meet In competition have been sur.
prised at the interest taken In them.
In some localities foal shows. open
to the get Of all stations. are held
as the result OF the boost given at
the start by some wide-awake stall.
lion owner. Competition In such
cases is quite keen. and It is not un.
common to see a score Of foals lined
up for inspection. One OF the best
features Is the fact that good wean.
lings thus shown find ready buyers.
In eastern Ohio the second.prize draft
colt In one show was sold for $3.50,
and the general average Is SIS to
500 for well.bred draft weanlings In
that locality. It will pay stallion own

CORN CONTESTS

knowledge and Experience Gained
Of Far Greater Importance

or Won.

The corn contests which have been
carried on in the many states have
proven Of great educational value to
the boys. The prizes offered have
added zest to the endeavor to make
the best showing and produce the best
corn. but the knowledge and expert
ence gained are Of far greater import
ance than any prize. Last year there
was issued In Arkansas a circular on
the effect Of the corn contests upon
the boy participating. It says:
The boy who has engaged in q
contest Of this kind. whether success.
fully or not. has gained practical
training Of far.reaching value and
lasting Significance. He has been
brought in touch with the great nat.
ural laws on one hand and with mod.

his own efforts demonstrated the rela-
ton between the two. He has been

we used the Cuticura Soap freely and

she began to improve rapidly and In
two weeks the scale came of her
head and new hair began to grow. In
a very short time she was well. She Is
now sixteen years Of age and pic

GOOD METHODS IN FARMING

Among the causes for this change

INCREASE PRICE OF COTTON
Christian Monitor Says Upward Ten

uraI and Wholesome.

In regard to the higher price OF cot
ton. the Christian Monitor. published
in Boston, prints the following:
After the complaints from spinners
and others who are Interested In
cheapening the price Of cotton to their
own advantage. It is certainly cheering
and refreshing to read the following
from n paper published in Boston. the
Christian Science Monitor. Here Is
what 1t has to say relative TO the In.
creasing price OF cotton:
The great southern staple has been
making a steady advance since the
middle '90s. Every recession. from
whatever cause. has left the price per.
manently some points. higher. About
the time the Atlantic Cotton States ex.
position was being promoted a person
would have been set down as a dream
er II he had predicted that within IF.
teen years the price OF the staple
would go beyond ten cents. Today the
south is familiarizing itsel! gracefully
with a higher figure. and conservative
men are looking forward confidently to
continuation OF the advance. The
same causes that have raised the price
OF nearly every other raw product are
behind the steady increase In the quo
tauons OF cotton. The principal OF
these, OF course. is the steady Increase
In consumption. Cotton Is entering into
more uses than ever before, 1t Is In
more universal demand. On the other
hand, the south is not producing cotton
anywhere up to Its capacity. There Is
decided disposition among southern
farmers OF the more intelligent class to
prevent the cheapening OF the stapl e
by over-production. The movement for
the diversiHcation OF southern crops
has exercised a considerable influence.
