One of the show places around
Macon now is Mr.. W. L. Williams
corn field just west of the depot.
He is justly proud of this field
and for his own convenienc and
the pleasure of. his friends and
the lovers of good farming he
has kept open several avenues
through the corn and the whole
field can be thoroughly inspected
by going down these really beau
tiful driveways.
Though in his eighty-frst year,
Mr.. Williams manages this crop
personally and its beauty and
success are fine tributes to his
energy and skill and knowledge
of farming. The field contains
about forty-five acres and prob
ably is by far the finest corn
field of its size in the county. It
all lies on the east bank of Horse
Hunter creek and runs to the
railroad. The long dry spell
seems not to have hurt it, for the
corn is green and fourishing. 1t
has been plowed five times and
hoed three. It's yield will prob
ably be from 60 to rs bushels per
acre, or more.
This is the sixtieth crop Mr..
Williams has made in Noxubee
county. Some years ago he was
quite an extensive as we'll as a
most successful planter. but with
increasing years he wisely de-
creased his cares, and now con-
fines his love of nature and fond
ness for farming to this field and
an exquisitely kept garden of
two acres at his attractive home
just north Of Macon. He Is q

The Cotton Tax and Revenue.

The attempt of some Of the ad-
vOcates of the amendment to the
tariff bill imposing a tax OF YOU
per hundred bales on cotton SOLD
for future delivery to figure out
that at least 81, 900, 600 of revenue
would result to the Treasury is
ridiculous in the extreme. The
whole purpose Of the proposed tax
is to absolutely prohibit trading
in futures and the notion that
"hedge" trading would survive
the general destruction of the con-
tract business is absurd. The line
of demarcation between the pur-
chase or sale of "hedges" and gen.
eral speculation is purely imagi-
nary and the purchaser Of q con-
tract has no means Of knowing
whether the cotton sold him is a
mere hedge or a purely speculative
transaction. What everybody
knows, however. is that every
contract bought or sold implies de-
livery, and it is within the power
of the holder of the contract to
exact delivery if he so desires.
Therefore, every contract for fn-
ture delivery is a perfectly legiti-
mate transaction, whether 1t be
regarded as a hedge or not.
The inevitable result Of the en-.
actment into law of the proposed
tax on trading in cotton for future
delivery would be to destroy the
American contract markets and
IT, .sfer the whole business to the
/ ropean exchanges, particularly
me Liverpool market. The tax
would, therefore, yield no revenue
whatever, as it would be prohibl-
tive. The one patent fact which
the advocates of this class OF legis
lation seem to overlook is that the
great speculative markets absolute
" control the price of the commo.
dities traded in. If Liverpool

should become the great central
contract market for cotton it would
absolutely control the price of cot.
ton, and as a result American pro-
ducers would be at the mercy of
the British and other foreign spin
ners. The loss to the farmers Of
the South in the reduced value of
their staple crop would be enor.
nous, yet our farmers have only
themselves to blame for the sort of
legislation that is now impending.
While the destruction of con.
tract trading in American markets
would cause loss to merchants,
brokers and spectators, such
losses would be but temporary, as
they would in most cases transfer
their interests to Liverpool. The
loss to the Southern cotton pr0du.
GERS would be permanent, however,
as every crop would have to bear
its share of the depreciation that
would result from the sacrifice of
the control of prices which the
American markets now>enjoy.
Ifitis right and proper to prevent
speculation in cotton it should be
proper to prevent speculation in
other commodities, as well as in
stocks and bonds. Nevertheless
the wiseacres in Congress have
out cotton alone for no
other reason than that they are
anxious to do what the Southern
farmers desire. There could not
possibly be a more conspicuous
example of weakness on the part
of our Congressman and of fatal
blindness on the part of Onr Sou
thern farmers.-New Orleans Plea

ALFALFA ON EVERY FARM.
Noxubee Starts the Movement in the Southern States
Work Here will be Model for Work Elsewhere.

North-bound leaves Macon
2::23 a. m, 1921 a. m, 4:4 p. ~,
Clio p. m.
These meetings are to be of
tremendous usefulness to the
farmers. Plants and soils will be
taken from the ground and lec-
tured on by noted experts. The
raising of corn, hay and other
forage crops will also be treated.
It is hoped that farmers from all
over the state will attend. They
will be welcome and we'll cared
for.
The selection of Noxubee coun-
ty as the starting point of the
movement in the South is de-
served. We have been raising
alfalfa here with marked success
for nearly a decade, and our al
falfa hay has already a high and
wide spread reputation. In addi-
tion the county is very progress
sive. It was among the first to
take up tick eradication and is
now out of quarantine. We have
had an active county commission
er of agriculture for several
years. The negroes here, as well
as the whites, have corn clubs
and are contending for prizes.
Four districts are spending about
half a million dollars on good
roads and the other (selling no
bonds) is spending ten thousand
a year on roads. Thousands of
acres here are now owned by
northern and western men of
means who live here, prominent
among them being H. B. Gurler,
President American Dairymen's
Association, and probably the
most distinguished dairyman in
this country and well known
abroad.
Attention is again called to the
Importance and practical value Of
this movement. The presence of
the boil weevi! is a forceful argu-
ment for crop diversification and
this is a direct move along that
line. Farmers living within a
days journey of Noxubee are
offered a great opportunity for a
practical on the ground and down
to the ground exposition and
demonstration of alfalfa and corn
growing by some of the greatest
experts of this nation.

The initial campaign in the
southern states having for its OBJ
ject the growing of some alfalfa
on every farm in the nation will
be started in Noxubee county,
Mississippi on August 18th. Sim
liar campaigns in Michigan, Illi-
nois, Iowa and Ohio were partici-
pated in by the governors and
other state officials, the agricul-
tural colleges and experiment
stations and the railroads depart
ments of field development, and
were pronouncedly successful.
The meeting in Noxubee coun-
ty is to be notable. There will
be present men Of such national
standing as Jos. E. Wing, Of
Ohio, P. G.. Holden, Of Iowa,
both men Of world wide reputa-
ton in their lines, C. H. Allen,
of Ohio, and many others from
out Of the state, and the most
prominent officials and agricul-
turists in Mississippi.
The work in Noxubee is be fol-
lowed later in the year by similar
campaigns in every county in the
prairie section and elsewhere
where alfalfa can be grown, and
will serve as model for later
work. The program is as follows:
