way in strawberry growing within the
limits of Hattiesburg, has
taken the pains to keep strict ac-

175 feet or a little more than one-half
an acre of ground, from which he has
sold to date $41S.SO worth of berries.
Had his patch measured a full acre,
and his product in the same proper

$3.50, a figure which gives another IL

jackson, Miss, May 17.-Federal au-
thorities will make an investigation of
the dynamiting of two dipping watts
In Newton county. The watts were
blown up by unknown parties on the
night prior to the date fixed for pub
lie cattle dipping in the county, and
il is suspected that it was the work
of farmers who are bitterly opposed
to dipping.
1t has been impossible for the state
and federal veterinarians in some
counties to convince all of the farm
ers that cattle dipping is for their own
benefit; that cattle from districts
freed of the tick bring from one to two
cents per pound more than animals
from infested areas, and may be mark
eted twelve months in the year, where
as cattle from tick territory can be
sold only during prescribed periods.
This is not the first instance that
dynamiting has been resorted to in
Mississippi to prevent cattle dipping
several watts having been blown up in
Leake county last summer. 1t is I'M
derstood that the Federal authorities
will make a vigorous effort to locate
the guilty parties in Scott county, and
have already procured evidence rel
alive to dynamite sales to certain per
sons. = z
