DR.. Charles 8. Turnbull was able to
assure him that he would not lose
the sight of his right eye. Biddle's
injury was sustained last Thursday
afternoon in furious bout with Jack
O'Brien. incidentally the energetic
amateur had three teeth broken In
the same fight. while O'Brien sus.
tanned severe damage in the way OF
cut lips and nose.
In the first round O'Brien landed
peculiar blow on Biddle's right eye,
and while the eye did not close, the
sight suddenly left IL and the optic
caused him intense pain. In the sec
ond round the teeth suffered and Jack
had his face chopped up. Both were
ready to quit then, but the crowd de-
manded another round and the box
ers complied.
Biddle went home after the bout
and sent for DIR. Turnbull who at once
realized the gravity OF the injury. A

The fact that good land is beinc
purchased at such small prices and
that this makes unusually good farms,
producing three crops a year, is only
due to the existing large undeveloped
area. If this same land we're in some
middle Western state it would bring
a fancy price.
The possibilities of developing Mis-
sssippi farm lands, once thoroughly
demonstrated, the green carpet of ma
tive grasses will give place to the
same magnificent crops that are now
growing on forty or eighty acres dot
ted here and there. When this has
been accomplished the people of Mis-
sissippi will remember the excellent
encouragement given by Governor E.

With a climate not afflicted with ex-

stock on a large scale, but enough has
been done to prove what the country
will do. More people are constantly
engaging in the stock-growing bust
ness, a few hundred of car loads being
shipped in 1910. Here is what Secre-
tary Wilson says on this subject:
Should Develop Dairying.
"Dairying is a branch of stock rails
ing that should be developed. The
production of dairy products in the
South is far below the consumption.
Less than per cent Of the creamery
butter and less than per cent OF the
cheese consumed in the South are
produced there, and even the milk
supply is insufficient for local needs.
This means that millions Of dollars
are annually sent away for these nee
essary foods, while this money might
just as well be kept at home and used
in building up a prosperous industry.
I'VE have heard much about the in
creased cost of living and conserving
our food supply. The countrys beef
supply has been diminishing in pro-
portion to population at an alarming
rate in recent years. Beef has been
getting scarcer and higher; our home
demand has taken nearly all our sup
ply and our export trade has shown
heavy decline. Here in the South
is plenty of unused land that could
be profitably used in cattle raising;
here is a temperate climate; here are
conditions favorable for producing
abundant feed; here are pastures that
can be grazed practically the year
round, while Northern farmers must
feed through a severe winter.

LET us look forward to the time
when the South will not only feed it.
