For the 40 years preceding 1911, the
name mississippi" has represented a
section Of our great country that, from
an agricultural viewpoint, was regard
ed as completely chained to It's tradi-
lions and its destiny so inseparably In
terwOven with the production OF cot
ton that the advent OF the Mexican
boil weeYll was regarded as q calamity
30 overwhelming In its effect that the
regeneration of the state seemed for a
while to be a hopeless task; but this
seeming calamity has been the cause
of an agricultural awakening which
has been fOstered and aided by the az
ricultural departments Of the federal
government and state, by state institu-
tlons, railroads and other large bust
ness interests operating within the
state until now this state Is forging
ahead by leaps and bounds and Ia pro-
crossing along new agricultural lines
faster than any other state In the
Union.
Corn Yield Increasing.
In three years, the production Of corr
in the state has increased from 20, 000,-
GOO to 66, 900, 600 bushels and from IL
to 20 bushels per acre; more pure bred,
bulls and hogs, and also more common
cattle for stocking purposes have gone
into Mississippi within the last two
years than into any other state: the
newest and most upto-date farming
implements are to be seen In use and
for sale everywhere and a daylight
ride on any railroad In the state will
show that oats, clovers and hay crops
are fast becoming staple and old King
Cotton would not now recognize his
once most devoted realm or subjects.
Out Of these changed and changing
conditions better things have come
and are still coming.
New Idea viii Help State.
This new idea will eventually do for
Mississippi what it has done for Iowa
and possibly other states-afford a
home market for many products that
are purchased elsewhere, which will
result in keeping at home the money
heretofore sent aboard. This will
make Mississippi and her people pros.
porous and independent.

President Buys Ford
Summer home Of Chief Executive equipped
with car by Miller Bros.

F President Wilson shows as sound judgment in max
l ing all his future appointments as he did recently, we
see no imminent danger of the ship OF state founder
ing. Miller Bros, our Washington, [. G., representatives,
notified us that they delivered a Ford to the White House
for the President to be used at his summer home.
This announcement from our Washington agents
coming so closely upon the heels of MIR Fords visit to
the national capital and conference with the President
as to the state of business did not surprise us much.
We thoroughly believed that MI. Ford would himself
make the sale, but in his characteristic kindly way he
stepped aside so that Miller Bros. would get the credit of
selling a Ford to the first citizen of the land.
The addition of the President to the Ford family is
very gratifying to the Company.
He is perhaps" the most famous Ford owner, though
Fords are owned by hundreds of leaders of the worlds
activities.
For instance, there were nineteen princes and two
grands dukes driving Fords of their own in Russia, ac-
cordine to the last report from our Russian representa-
tive-Mr. M Friede.
Several members Of the English peerage drive Fords,
as do also many titled persons in the other countries of
Europe.
Even the Tasha Lama of Urga has a Ford town car.
which was delivered to him under its own power across
the Cobb desert of Mongolia, being the first pleasure car
to negotiate the hazardous trip.
And in Washington the President will find himself
among a distinguished company of Ford owners. But a
few days after reporting the sale of a Ford to the Presi-
dent, Miller Bros. announced they had sold a car to the

CAN'T SAVE BY sTlN1lNG COWS
How to Feed Roughage

Grain is very high this winter and it
may be hard to resist the temptation to
cut down just little on the dairy ra-
tions. This is poor policy. 1t is no
more profitable to stint the milk COW
than to cut short the ration of the fat
tening hog.
Cane hay, kafir or corn fodder will not
dry up cows as some say. Though these
feeds come far from being dairy ra-
ton, they should not be discarded but
fed with alfalfa, clover, siiage and bran.
A good dairy ration where farm grown
feeds alone are used is alfalfa, clover or
cowpea hay 10 to 20 pounds; corn 10 to
~ pounds. Along with this may be fed
as much roughness as the cows will clean
up. This roughness may be corn fodder,
cane or kafir hay, stray, or anything the
cows relish.
Oats have been used. when ground, as
part offthe dairy ration but are too high
in price TO be fed economically. 1t will
be found cheaper to use wheat bran in
stead and with the bran may be mixed
some corn meal. Corn, at present prices,
is much cheaper milk maker than oats
il fed in connection with bran or alfalfa

On Friday afternoon of last
week Mr.. Edgar w. Grigs was
given a very pleasant surprise by
the pupils Of his room. By pre-
vious arrangement andgood man
agement each pupil brought his
share of the ''big eats" and kept
them hidden until the appointed
hour. When recess was over the
pupils and teacher marched up
stairs as usual and found every
thing arranged for a grand feast.
At a given signal the Primary
pupils and teacher came up and
took their places with the others.
Then all partook of the noun
tains of sandwiches, fried chick
en-, pickles (of course there were
plenty of these), cakes and candy,
besides different kinds of fruit.
After dinner very interesting
stories were told by Horace Fro
hardt, Henry and Dewey Carna-
han.
An election was held to deter
mine who were to be messengers
to distribute the Valentines and
John Purden and Dewey Carna-
han were chosen. Miss Lindsey
was appointed chief clerk. AS
there was an extra large number
to be distributed, Robert Denney,
Henry Carnahan and Dewey Oaks
were appointed TO assist.
A very delightful time was en-
joyed by all. Many thanks are
extended those who assisted.
