There are five large dairy herds
near Hermanville and three at Port
Gibson. 1t is conservative indeed
to say that these eight dairies ship
from ST, 900 to ST. worth of
cream each month, or $4,000 to
$4,000 worth year. A few years
ago it was said that the Taylor
herd supplied all the neighboring
demand. Now, this is not the
only income from these dairies:
the separated milk is putting many
hogs on the market.

Reports received by the agricul-
tural department indicate that there
will be a largely increased acreage
in sugar cane in Southwest Missis-
sissippi next year, and particularly
in Jefferson, Claiborne and Adams
counties. Some trouble is being
experienced in securing a suficien-
cy of seed cane, owing to the very
general demand all over the state
for seed purposes, and the growers
Of Louisiana are reaping a harvest
selling it to the Mississippi plant
ers. It's being planted for the
purpose of making it up into syr-
up, the Mississippi product having
made a great hit in the North this
year, and the demand has really
been larger than could be supplied.
The Mississippi syrup is superior
TO the Louisiana sugar house
product, for the reasoa that all ol
the sugar is left in It, whereas al
ter a portion of the sugar has been
extracted the syrup is neither a.
sweet, nourishing, nor has It the
favor Of that which Mississippi
furnishes. being the pure boiled

Industry from the list of payrolls, the
Salem cannery Company. This com
pany, in season, employs as high as
$50 people, and has payroll Of from
$4,000 to $1,000 month for about
six months in the year. The annual
stockholders melting will be held
Monday, January ., at 1880 p, M, to
elect officers. OF all the concerns this
writer has ever taken stock in, the
Salem cannery has given him the
most moral and financial satisfaction.
There was no stock watering, no
large block OF stock given away as
promotion stock, and afterwards sold
to unsuspecting people, who thought
they were putting their money into a
real industry It has been conducted
on the square, and we regret that we
could not get the statistics In time to
add TO our list of Salem payrolls.

Washington, Jan. 3.-That the
Japanese in the Philippines are eH-
pecting their home government to
seiza the islands before the compile
ton OF the Panama canal, and that
the slogan OF these radicals is war
with the United States for the Phil
ippines before 1915, or never" is the
story told by Ignacio villamor, and
Poncencio Reyes, Philippine officials,
who are here testifying in the feder-
al land csiss.
Villamoor declares that the Japan
ese are confident that they can take
the philippines. but they realize that
they must do It quickly.
They generally recognize that
they must strike before the compile
tlon Of the Panama canal, said VIZ
iamor "In spite OF the statements to
the contrary, It is the sentiment in
the Philippines that Japan wants the
islands. People are convinced that
Japan's ayowed policy OF expansion
aouthwand embraces the Philippine
islands.
Until recently there was a move
ment in the islands fayoring the
transfer OF the islands TO Japanese
sovereignty. Organizations were
formed for the purpose Of helping the
movement forward. The belief, how
ever, is now growing that such a
step would mean the death Of Filipino
liberty. After visiting Japan, / am
unalterably convinced that such a
step would be mistake.
