FAIR PREMIUMS
FOR JACKSON
IN COMPETITION WITH COUNTIES
OF WEST FLORIDA AND ALA
5AMA JACKSON coUNTYs Ao-
RIcULTURAL EXHIBIT TAKES
FIRST PRIZE.

When a prominent Dothan banker.
after travelling over the entire United
States, said that Jackson county con-
tanned the best farm lands east of the
Mississippi river, he did not speak in
advisedly and made no rash statement,
as ample evidence can be supplied to
verify the statement.
1t has already been clearly and I'M
questionably demonstrated that West
Florida is one of the finest farming
sections, not only in Florida, but in
the entire south, and Jackson county
last year established her claim to being
the garden spot Of this great farming
section and over Alabama as we'll by
taking the first prize for the best agri-
cultural exhibit at the Pensacola In
terstate Fair, In spite of the fact that
one Of the exhibits entered by an Ala
bama county had already taken pre-
miums at fairs all over that state and
year before last had taken the first
premium at this fair.
The county exhibit referred to did
not by any means show the possibiE
ties Of jackson county, either, as the
entire exhibit last year was taken
from one farm. Iris year practically
every farmer in the countyswin con-
tribute sometkfng 10 the ex.llt IL which
Is to be sent to the Pensacola Inter-
state Fair, so that. although last years
exhibit was q most creditable one, the
one this year will surpass II In every
respect and will be sufficient to fully
convince the most skeptical that the
Dothan banker was eninently correct
| in his assertion.

Variety and Quality.

When II is considered that the va
riety. as we'll as the quality, of the
articles is considered by the judges in
rendering their decision as to the re-
spective merits of them, the taking of
all of West Florida and South Alabama
is of great significance and is an ac-
complishment to which Il considerable
amount of Importance should be at
tached. 1t puts Jackson county in a
position where she can substantiate by
facts which are indisputahle what she
claims in regard to her agriculture az
resources and possibilities. 1t Is easy
en5ugh for a county, like an individual,
to make big claimA in matters of this
kind, but all the Prospective investor
needs to do to investigate the claim
of Jackson county In regard to agri-
culture 10 to look at the records of

STREAMS FLOW TWO WAYS.
Water Resources OF the Middle North
west Discussed.

In the northern part OF Minnesota
there is a great area Of land so mar
hat it's waters sometimes flow into
Hudson Bay and sometimes into the
Cuff Of Mexico. This area contains
the headwaters OF Mississippi River.
There are times when certain lakes
DISCHARGE AT both ends. the northern
outlet taking the How through Red
River OF Rainy River into Lake Win
nipeg. and thence into Hudson Bay;
while the southern outlet leads 90 the
Mississippi. Therefore the dividing line
between the Mississippi drainage basin
and that Of Hudson Bay Is indefinite
and in many places can not be determ-
med. and the consideration Of these
two basins In connection with their
water supplies and the uses that can
be made thereof must logically be
taken mp together. The Geological
Survey discusses the Hudson Bay and
Mississippi River basins in its recent
publication, officially known as Water
Supply Paper 2s5.
This work contains the results OF
iiverIiow measurements made during
the year 1910. In view of the feet that
the division Of the waters alOns the
Canadian boundary is becoming q
more important International question
making necessary by recent legislation
the organization Of the Joint lntcrna
tional Commission. under whose Juris-
dlctIun these matters were placed, this
volume is OF unusual Importance. The
westernmost river covered by the re-
port is St. Mary River, which rises II
Montana. crosses the Canadian OOun
Diary, and empties into the Saslsatche
wan. The other rivers are lar6el,
those Of North Dakota. Minnesota. ant
Wisconsin. although considerable IN
formation Is contained concerning TN
rivers Of Illinois and Iowa, whicl
empty into the Mississippi The in
formation concerning the flow O
rivers in Minnesota is unusually com
plete by reason al the fact that til
state. through it's Drainage Commits
sion. has co-operated with the Geo
logical Survey in the maintenance q
the stream flow stations.
