stinies'-knocks once unbidden at
every gate. 1t now knocks at the gate
of the agricultural South. AS though
by the irony of fate, the knocking
comes through an agricultural calam-
ity In Kansas. We would rather fore
go our own chances at opportunity
than profit through the misfortunes
OF the farmers in a sister state. Fate
having so decreed-the event having
occurred-it behooves us to heed the
knocking-to avail ourselves of the OPP
portunity offered.
Here is the important and abnormal
fact forming the basis of what we now
nropose-the opportunity now calling.
The south-central West is just emerg-
ing from an unprecedented and calam-
itous drought. AS result the states
Of Kansas, Missouri Oklahoma and
Texas will make less than half their
average corn crops. Hay and forage
crops are equally short These states
usually produce about 500 100000 bush
els of corn, or about one-sixth Of the
total three billion bushel crop of the
country. This wear this drought-strick-
en- territory will fall far short of sup
plving home demand to say nothing
of inability to sell to consumers in the
cotton states. The corn crop Of the
country will probably fall at least 10
per cent below the average. This
means that next spring when the South
buys heavily OF Western corn, the
price will soar to $1.25 per bushel.
The next point bearing on this mat
ter is the fact that cotton prices and
products are at present 30 attractive
that there is great danger Of cotton
growers yielding to the temptation to
increase the next planting of cotton.

DDS of farming which his parents |
have scorned, revolutionizes the agri- |
cultural industry in that section of the
state
The real hero of Joe the Book
Farmer" is evidently little Bonnie
Beeson, the boy farmer Of Lawrence
county, who broke all records In corn
production in the south two years ago,
and won the handsome prizes awarded
by the United States department OF
agriculture and the Illinois Central
railway.
While Mr.. Harris was employed as
city editor OF the Daily News he be-
came acquainted with Bonnie Beeson,
and the first story of the achievements
of that remarkable lad, written by Mr..
Harris, was published in the Daily
! News. Some time later Beeson came
to Jackson, formed the acquaintance
of the Daily News staff, and now he
has been embalmed in literature for
all time to come.
Mr.. Harris displays a clever style in
his story, and the interest never Tags
at any portion of the narrative. He Is
a fluent writer, and tells the story
in most charming manner.
The many friends of this young jour
nalist will be glad to learn that he has
finally found his Stride" and they
will look forward with interest to 9th
er productions from his pen. While
he was serving as city editor of this

That would help. but the remedy

means by which we need not puy

means producing our own feed for the
stock used in making our next cotton

The opportunity of the South lies
now-at the proper season-in sowing

Increasing the sowing of fall gains has
two additional advantages. BY reduc-

Moreover, grain-growing combines per

1900 MAYORS EXPRESS VIEWS
IN CONTROL Of LOWER MISS.
PROMPT RESPONSES SHOW THAT QUESTION IS NOT SEC
1IoNAL BUT NArloN-W IN ITS APPEAL

Washington, Sept. 22.-That the con-
troll of the great flood waters Of the
loewr Mississippi river is neither state
nor sectional in the acknowledged ne
cessity for corrective action, but Is ma
tion-wfde in it's appeal and call for ap-
preciative Congressional recognition Is
convincingly emphasized in the prompt
responses of the mayors of 1900 cities
to a recently submitted request Tor
an expression of their views on TINS
pending legislative question. Without
execution these representative city OF
ficials take a national view of the low
er Mississippi food control proposition,
and regard it as one whose solution
invites the cooperative aid and assist
ance of the national government
Their responses are so similar, both In
pirit and tone, as to leave no room to
doubt the established naturalization
of sentiment for government operation
with the seven states most directly
concerned in the control of the nooo
in the lower Mississippi. Obviously, If
the responses Of the mayors OF l,2Oo
cities in question are given their In
tended latitude of construction, the
question of territorial area is conslo-
cred in an unrestricted geographical
sense. The whole nation is compre'
hended in the benefits to be derived
from safeguarding the 10000 square
miles of territory now subject to dam
age by the flood waters of the lower
Mississippi river.
These responses from the mayors
we're solicited by Mr.. John A. Fox, sec
rotary manager of the Mississippi River
Leyee Association, who sought theii
views upon the following summary o.
facts:
1. The waters from 81 states, Of
more than Al per cent Of the entire
area of the United States, are discharg
ed through the lower Mississippi.
2. Parts of the seven states ad1acen
to that portion of the river, with an az
gregate area of 10000 square miles o
territory, are subject to damage by tn
flood waters Of nearly one half of tn
nation.
8. Congress has never recognized II
obligation in the matter and does no
now aid in the expense of so conduct
ing these waters to sea that they wi
not injure the adjacent states.
4. There are nearly million peopl
living in this area and in their effort
to cope with the situation unaide
they have themselves expended nearl
$7O.0O0,OO0 in building levee syster
which is still incomplete.
5. The United States engineers, an
all experts who have reported regard
ing the prevention of these floods, d.
clare that the levee system can b
finished and absolute prevention c
foods accomplished by the expenditr-
of an additional s6O,eOO,OOO.
6. It Is generally conceded, nov. i-a
