ed for the sustainance of man, should
not be monopolized by cotton, and
the promotion of production of more
food crops will free Mississippi from
the tyranny of the one-crop idea,
which has SO long been a hindrance
to agricultural progress and to eco
nomic interests in general. Missis-
sippi can continue to be a great cotton
producing state, without sacrificing its
other manifold and fertile opportuni-
ties.
With the use of the cultural meth
DDS advocated by the Federal Govern
ment, cotton can be produced under
boil weevil conditions, and with some
|, stimulus for diversification of crops,
conditions of prosperity in the south
are sure to improve.
There is cheering evidence that the
trucking industry is becoming more
permanent Within the last year or
so, numbers of farmers in Mississippi
have recognized the profits that lie
in this new field, and are devoting
some of their land and energy to rails
ing food products. In some sections
they have organized for greater ef-
ficiency and economy, and are meet
ing with success. This industry must
be conducted with business-like meth
DDS, and the farmer must know some
thing of market conditions before he
ships. 1t is at this juncture that such
an enterprise as the above mentioned
railroads have established becomes
especially valuable and helpful. These
roads will be well repaid, for the
progress of diversified farming will
develop continually larger volume of
traffic.
The railroads of this section have
awakened to the importance of devel.
oping the territory they traverse, and
it is to be hoped that the good work
they have begun will be continued and
multiplied.

fly the dishonest packers and visit
upon them punishment provided by
the bill for false packing with intent

will separate the goats from the sheep,

cate common Honesty, if nothing more.
We cannot bring our intelligence to

of Crystal Springs tomatoes he knew
he was going to get unblemished, per
feet fruit, all that perfect tomato
could or should be. Tomatoes were
selected carefully, packed properly,
and brought the top of the market.
Times changed. Into the thriving
industry about Crystal Springs came
men who were not honest. They trad
ed on the reputation that the honest
men took a pride in their product had
made. They began packing good to-
matoes on top, and scrubby culls be-
meath. They would put tomatoes at
the proper stage of ripeness on top,
and utterly green ones beneath. There
were a dozen variations of the fraud.
1t was not long until the Crystal
Springs tomatoes began to fall from
standard. Oft repeated experiences
of finding bad fruit, inferior fruit, I'M
marketable fruit, in the packages
made the buyers shy away from Crys-
tai Springs product. Instead of learn
