At The Mississippi State Fair.

The farmers of Mississippi, as
never before, are seeking reli-
able information concerning the
great problems that are confron-
ting them in the handling of
their farms. Particularly does
this apply in the present cotton
situation. Prompt action is nee
essary to relieve the distress tkat
at present exists.
For the purpose of supplying
this demand, the State Fair has
arranged with II. L. Blakeslee.
Commissioner of Agriculture, and
X. s. Wilson, State Agent for the
Cooperative Demonstration work
to give illustrated lectures curing
the Fair upon these most import
ant matters.
A good tent, fitted with stere-
opticon and other conveniences,
will be located near the entrance
to the Agricultural Building,
where all are invited to drop in
and enjoy a comfortable seat, see
the pictures, hear the lectures,
and ask questions if they so de-
sire.
This entertainment will be alb
solutely free. The lecturers are
of the ablest in the state. and the
farmers can undoubtedly get in
formation that can bs carried
back to their homes and made OF
great value. II is in the nature
of Farmers Institute, with the
subjects beautifully illustrated
with colored lantern slides.

WE SHOULD BE THANKFUL,

Our people are about as blue
as they have been in many years.
There is practically no market
for cotton. We have written col
umns warning the people against
the boil weevils and urging the
farmers to learn to live at home.
The boil weevil is here but not in
large number; the prospect is
that he will be here and ruin all
crops for next year. But the war
came along and opened our eyes
to a new problem. 1t showed us
how helpless we are; how very
dependent we are upon our friend
beyond the sea. Have we learn
ed anything by this war? Will
our farmers plant cotton next
year or will they abandon this
losing business and quit buying
on credit and live at home? 1t
occurs to US that we are now
awakened; we are face to face
with "a condition that can't be
avoided; we must hear and start
out anew.
But we should be thankful. In
South Mississippi they have the
boil weeviI; they paid no atten-
ton to him until they were pow
erty stricken. The young men
had to leave home to make a liv-
ing; the old people and the ne
groes are still trying to stay there
and, in time, will solve'the prob
lem. But counties that made
thousands of bales of cotton now
make less than one thousand.
Amite county, it is said, raised
over g, GOO bales of cotton before
the boil weevil came along: this |
insect struck the fields and they
made less than 1900. The coun-
try looks desolate and run down;
everything is chaos out things |
must change just why the
average farmer can't meet these
conditions before they come like
an avalanche upon him we don I
know: he never seems to plan for
a rainy day.
But North Mississippi should
meet these changed conditions
and be thankful.
