The City OF Starkville.
Starkville, which has an eleva-
tlon of over 400 feet above sea level
is naturally well drained and
healthful. It's good system of
waterworks, with an abundant
supply of pure water from a 900
foot well, it's other public utilities
and its superior educational advan-
tages in we'll equipped public
schools, and its proximity to the
"a, u NJ. College, makes it a
desirable place of residence even to
many persons whose business
interests are elsewhere. It has
population Of about 5000. Its
citizens as whole, are progressive
though cautious and conservative

the few cotton factories built in
this and adjoining states within
the last ten years that have been
continuously operated since com.

through the adverse conditions that
prevailed for several years in this
line of manufacture. Starkville
has an oil mill, an ice factory,

for storing cotton aud several
minor industries.

1t is claimed that these rolling

drained are more favorable to

the more level lands of the prairie
Though cotton is the chief product
old time methods are bieng steadil,
supplated by hay growing, stock
raising and dairyiug. A great
stimulus has been given to the last
named industry by the installation
at the College, few weeks ago, of
q cooperative dairy. where the
butter making, under.3the direct
supervision, of the head of the
dairy department, will be conducted
according TO the best modern

A. & M. COLLEGE EXERTING
WHOLESOME .MFLU UENCE
County---Wide Variety of Soil Makes Di- s.
versification of Crops Possible y.

S.arkville, Miss, August 81
The site of the Agricultural and
Mechanical College of Mississippi,
one and one-half miles east of
Starkville, was chosen thirty-fve
years ago on account OF the evident
advantages this locality afforded
for the greatest Of nll the state in
stitutions. The magnitude and
Importance of this institution is
seldom realized by people who have
never visited it. The college prop
erty, which comprises 1000 acres
Of land, was valued in the last ap-
D raisement at more than one and
a quarter million dollars. During
the last session there were more
tlIan n thousand students in at
tendance.
The typographical features and
soil conditions Of eastern Oktibbe
ha, in which Starkvilie and the
college are located, are ideal for
devirsifed farming and demonstra
tive work, dairying and stock
raising. This area lies in the
limestone or chalk belt of north
east Mississippi and lis lands diff
fer from those OF the black belt"
or prarie that extends through
several counties to the northward

or five varieties of soil in addition
to those found in the lime lands OF
the eastern portion-there being q
distinct types of soil in the county.
The lands of the western area have
some peculiar advantage, one of
them being that they respond
readily to the use of commercial
fertilizers. AS the soils are better
understood, more fertilizers are
used annually and the agricultural
conditions have improved a great
deal within the last few years. A
county agricultural high school
organized last year under recent
act of the legislature, has been
located at Longview, a town on the
Illinois Central railroad, seven
miles southwest Of Starkville
buildings for'thls school are how
being erected and ita libefal nat.
ronage, mainly from the western
part of the county, seems already
assured.
Drainage of Swamps.
One OF the greatest needs In the
development of Oktibbeha comfy
Is the drainage of swamp lands.
On two of the larger stres ms and
ther tributaries within the county
there are fully $4,000 acres Of rich
alluvial lands subject to the
frequent overfows that could be
brought into cultivation if properly
drained with canals or laroe
bitches. This work can only ba
done economically by the use of
dredgeboats and through coopera.

in that they are traversed by
numerous streams and are all
somewhat hilly or gently rolling,
save the alluvial lands or the creek
bottoms, which vary from several
hundred yards to a mile in width.
In this area of less than six con-
OCCASIONAL townships, sixteen or
more distinct types of soil are
shown by the government soil
survey. Here all the cloyers. as
we'll as many nutritious grasses,
grow without incubation. hence
many washed and quilted hillslopes
that were abandoned for cultiva-
tion several years ago have been
transformed by simple and easy
methods into the most fertile ana
luxuriant pastures on which great
numbers OF dairy and beef cattle
are annually fattened for shipment
to distant markets.
Diversified Farming.
CThe varying types of soil offer
rare opportunities for diversified
farming. Houston clay which
forms large percentage of this
area, and several other types Of
soil that are rich in lime, are
peculiarly. suited to alfalfa grow
ing, and a larger acreage is seeded
to this valuable legume each year,

almost unanimously favored by the
land owners affected. This enter
prise, when completed, will reclaim
or render reasonably sure of
annual yield about 1000 acres oe
the most fertile corn and Alfalfa
lands in the limestone belt Of north
east Mississippi. Similar improve
ments OF other creek bottoms will
no doubt follow this important
enterprise.

IS PLEASED WITH RESULT.
Rich Declares governors Special'
Accomplished Big Things.

In the opinion of State immigration
Commissioner S. J. Rich, the recent
trip of the Governors Special" was
one of the greatest successes possible
and will result in turning into the
northwest many future homeseekers
and investors. The land shows in the
east have also done much to give this
state as we'll as others of the west
wonderful advertising, he believes.
Speaking of Idahos showing in the
east Mr.. Rich said:
Idaho exhibits were placed on dis
play at the Dry Farming congress
Colorado Springs; Western Products
show, Omaha; National Land and Irri-
CATION exposition, Pittsburg, and the
Northwest Land Products show at St
Paul. Without exception each was an
unqualified success so far as Idaho
and her exhibits We're concerned. AT
the Dry Farming congress Idaho won
a great number of prizes, notably the
grand sweepstakes for turkey red
wheat, in competition with the best
products from all other states and
Canada.
The publicity campaign carried on
by this state at the land shows and
through the medium of the Cover
nors' Special has been the greatest in
the history of this state"

TWO MULES WITH HISTORY
The Only Hybrids in the Geographical
Service Are Sent to
Kauai.

Two mules with a history were
shipped down to w. B. Hardy on the
Island of Kauai recently. He is car
rying on the work of the geograph-
1cal and water research branch of the
department there, and it was found
that animal transportation was the
only way to meet the difficulties.
There were only two mules in that
branch of the service and they were
over in California. Likewise Hardy
was the man who worked them over
there when he was on the mainland.
Now he and his friends will be re.
united on Kauai
The work Of the department on that
island is arduous owing to the fact
that where the water runs are not al
ways roads. Accordingly, some means
have to be found by which the in
vestigator could get about. He has a
saddle and pack and can ride the
mules as far as he can get them over
the tracks, and then do the rst of the
work on foot. The work necessitates
constant travelling of rough sort

MOTORING at Its Best.

Few motorists know of motoring In
all its fullness. They drive along coun-
try roads for hundred miles or so.
through towns SO closely set that they
virtually run through one long village.
and they think they have motored.
They cross the ocean anc enjoy the
perfect roads OF France and Switzer-
land, and imagine they have exper-
fenced all there Is In life in the motor
car; but no one has ever been brought
to full realization of what motoring
really is, or what the wonderful mod
ern machine of mans creative genius
is really capable of doing until they
have sat in racing car side by side
with an expert driver and tasted the
sport as 1t is under such conditions.
Lord Byron once wrote: What de-
lightful thing is a turnpike road, such
means OF speeding the earth as
scarce the eagle in the broad air can
accomplish" He certainly spoke In
prophecy Of the motor car. and espe-
cially of the racing machine, which
defies distance and shrinks space into
the most tiny proportions.-The Co
lumbar.

local and state papers that exhibits
had been removed from the land
shows, Mr.. Rich said:
MY attention has been called to an
article stating in substance that, be-
cause | could not agree with the man
agement of the Chicago land show and
had wordy conflict with Mr.. Cross,
the general manager, | was ordered to
leave the building, ETC., and also that
Governor Hawley had sent w H. Red
way of Caldwell, to Chicago, to inves-
tigate. | have also learned of an ar
ticle printed in a Pocatello paper pur-
porting to quote Bert Perrine of Blue
Lakes as having said that | was in
Chicago with an exhibit from Blackfoot
and was unable to secure space, etc.
Regarding these matters | have
only to say that it is strange that a
man should be thrown out of the land
show and never know of it until he
arrived home and read it in some
newspaper, six weeks after it was al
legged to have occurred. The fact is
that / have never seen Mr. Cross that
know of.
Il removed the Idaho exhibits from
the Coliseum at the Chicago land show
because H. l.. Hollister, with whom |
made arrangements to display the
Idaho showings, absolutely repudiated
his written agreement, refusing to per-
nit us to occupy the space agreed up
on and instead had given it over to
certain localities in the state in which
he had lands for sale. We removed
our exhibits from the building because
of this, but not until we had threaten
ed to bring suit against Hollister for
claim and delivery, were we permit
ted to accomplish this with molesta-
ton.
"As to the statement that Governor
Hawley sent w. H. Roadway, or an 9TH
er person, to investigate the matter, it
is false and without foundation in
fact. Capital News.

Nails in Hard Wood,

1t will be found almost impossible
to drive thin steel nails into hard
wood, for the moment you hit them
hard enough to puncture the wood
they bend over on themselves.
Many people employ the use of a
small gimlet to bore the hole destined
to hold the nail, and few people know
that If yellow soap is rubbed on the
nail it can be driven in the hardest
wood with ease.
This trick was learned by carpen-
ter, who discovered it accidentally.
Now whenever he is working with
hard wood he keeps cake Of soap
near by and sticks it full of nails,
using them as he needs them.
He also has deep hole cut in the
handle Of his favorite hammer and
keeps it filed with soap in which to
stick the nails II the cake Of soap IL
not conveniently near.

appeal to Democrats to join the pro-
gressive Republicans because they
alone represented a true democracy,
and charged that the Democrats of
the south were democracy of class
and aristocracy."
The initiative, the referendum and
the recall were declared to be tenets
of the progressives. He continued:
with all my respect for courts as
