Bees.

There is one industry that is very
much allied to the fruit industry, and
that every farmer or fruit grower
should add to his business of fruit
growing, says the Southern Fruit
Grower. While from a money produ-
cling standpoint, the bee industry may
not be very attractive, yet as an aid
to nature in the cross-fertilization of
plants and orchard fruits, they have
no equal.
Prof. Van Deman recently said that
bees are becoming more and more a
necessity to successful orcharding.
Many varieties of fruits are much i'm
proved by cross-fertilization and to
maintain proper cross-fertilization,
don't forget to provide the orchard
with few hives of bees. They. too,
will more than pay for their care in
the honey they produce

Jackson.-Many farmers in South Mis-.
sissippi, especially those with extensive
land holdings, are busily engaged with
preparations to enter the stock raising
industry: on large scale They have
sent buyers to the large stock farlss
of the West and North in quest of blood
ed cattle for breeding purposes, and
crop preparations for the coming year
are based on the needs they will en-.
counter in the new industry. +
The fact that cattle raising can be
made to pay in Mississippi has been
strikingly illustrated by the fancy prices
recently obtained for :cattle raised ip
this state in. the st. Louis market. One
recent instance of it's remunerative

WAS NOT A GOOD YEAR
ONLY 20 MILES OF NEW ROAD FOR
~ PAST 10 MONTHS.
Mississippi, However, Is Ahead of Some
Other Southern States-Many New
Lines Have Been Planned.., -.

Jackson.--Only twenty miles of new
railway We're built ia mississippi during
the year just closed, according to COM
pilation prepared by the Railway Age
Gazette. While several other southern
states are below Mississippi in miles
of construction, the showing is poor
one, in view of the Harge number of
new lines planned or promised, on which
no construction work has thus far been
attempted.
Among the ,1notable new roads pro.
posed andb which has been very much
discussed during the past year, is that
traversing the Pearl River Valley in a
northeasterly- direction from jackson,
across the tpraiIies to Columbus, and
thence to Birmingham.
The corps of engineers of the Illinois
Central has made final survey for
this road, and final reports submitted
to the company's headquarters at Chi
cago, but for some reason known only
to the officials, who are keeping ex.
ccedingly reticent on the subject, no
construction work has been attempted.
Agents of. the company hold options on
more than $25O,OOo worth of real es-
tate to the north of Jackson, acquired
ostensibly for the purpose of establish,
ing a new system of shops and termi,
mails at this point.
While numerous new roads with ter
minals at harbors on the Mississippi
coast have been chartered, in anticipa-
tion of the opening of the Panama
Canal, none of them have progressed be-
yond the paper stage. 1t is believed,
however, in view of the approaching
completion of the canal, that important
developments in the construction of
north and south trunk lines through
Mississippi may be expected during the
coming year.

COTTON CROP REDUCTION.
Farmers Will Plant Smaller Acreage
Next Year


Jackson.-State and federal agricul-
tural experts employed in Mississippi
are unanimous in the conclusion that
there will be a decided reduction in cot
ton acreage during the coming crop
year, some of the estimates of reduc-
tion being as high as ten per cent.
The steady spread of the boil weevil
is of course responsible for the contin-
uance of Mississippi's agricultural evolu-
tion, and the heaviest acreage reduction
during the next crop year will be in the
central and eastern counties where the
farmers were hard hit by the ravages
OF the pest during the past year. Many
of the farmers in these counties would
not believe that it was impossible for
them to raise cotton in accordance with
old methods, and paid no attention to
the advice so freely given by the crop
experts. Statistics from interior towns
in this territory, showing cotton receipts
far below those of former years elo-
quently tell the story of their perverse-
ness.
In a number of the southern counties
farmers are making preparations to 60
in for truck farming on much larger
scale than in former seasons.

Europe Solving Problem Of High Cost
Of Living by Modern Methods of
Buying and Selling.

We as a nation are no more per-
picked in regard to the high cost Of
living than the countries of conti-
mental Europe. In fact, it Is topic Of
discussion throughout the civilized
world. During the last ten years our
population increased 81 per cent, the
farm land increased only per cent,
so that there Is naturally an excess
sive demand. The price of potatoes,
for instance, the main article of diet,
advanced in the last decade 111.9 per
cent, the highest of any commodity
on the list, and the other necessities
have increased also. The increased
population has placed value upon
all farm products before unheard of.
Economists are warning us to In
crease our production per acre, but
the big item Of cost in marketing Is in
our system of distribution, which rep
resents so per cent. of the cost to the
consumer, as shown by current mar
ket prices. A vast saving could be
effected for the consumer and the pro-
ducer by a more direct distribution.
This Is the only method by which the
high cost of living can be lowered ef-
fectively, writes L. F. Dunstan in the
Chicago News
Europe is solving the problem
through cooperative buying and SELL
ing. The great aim in cooperation is
to increase production and get the
product to the consumer as economic
ally as possible.
The subject is matter for study.
There Is yet available land near our
large cities suitable for agricultural
purposes, which II developed by CO.
operative methods would be of great
benefit, at least, to those interested
in furthering the plan.

PUT A CHECK ON SWINDLERs
Every State in Union Should Emulate
Example of Wisconsin In Guard.
ing Against Fraud. ar.

Wisconsin Is making a notable cru
'sade against men whose business is
to swindle farmers. One of the most
notorious swindles to which farmers
fall victim Is the, sale of nursery
stock. Farmers are no more gullable
than other people, but no matter how
shrewd the man may be he is abso.
lutely powerless to protect himself
against this form of swindling. The
owner discovers the fraud years after
he has planted his trees, and by that
time the swindlers are not to be
found, nor could anything be recov-
cred from them even II they could be
located.
The only adequate protection for
the farmer lies in an efficient depart
ment of state inspection under a law
that is strong enough to back it up.
Wisconsin has such law. It for.
bids the concealment Of any form of
plant disease from the state inspector
and 1t gives the inspector power to
cause the removal Of plants and trees
which cannot be successfully treated.
The law demands that all stock
shipped into the state or from one
part Of the state to another shall bear
a valid certificate plainly fixed on
the outside of the package, showing
that the contents have been inspect
Led by the government officials and
that it is free of disease of any kind.
The farmer who buys nursery stock
under this Wisconsin law will get
what he pays for, for severe punish.
ment Is provided for the man who
sells nursery stock under false
name. The law also puts a check on
the dishonest dealer by requiring that
every agent selling nursery stock
must carry duplicate Of his princi-
pals license and this duplicate must
be issued by the official inspector who
gave the original license.
Every state in the Union ought to
get copy Of this Wisconsin law and
adopt it without change of a line
or word.

OBEYING TEN-HOUR LAW.
Oil and Lumber Mills Working Onlv
Two Shifts.

DEMONSTRATING final disposal of
the litigation by the United States SUI.
preme court, the oil mills and lumber
manufacturing plants in Mississippi
have settled down to strict observ.
ance of the ten-hour law.
In all plants employing day and
night shifts, laborers are employed on
the ten-hour basis, which means 20 hours
of work each day. In the few instances
where three shifts of eight hours each
were attempted the plan was found to
be unsatisfactory, both to the manufac-
turers and the laborers, especially the
latter, who were compelled to accept
smaller wages for their abbreviated EN-,
ployment.
