variety which is valuable for

which does not yield as much

The SOuth's
Declaration of
independence
REVISED VERSION
(JeffersOn's Apologies Accepted)

When in the course of human
events, it becomes necessary for
the SOUTH to 5trangle the bulls
and bears which have so long
strangled us, and to assume
among our selves a demand for
fair play to which laws of man
and the laws of God, entitle US,
a decent respect to the opinions
of mankind requires that we
should prepare to compel a quick
separation.
We hold these truths to be
self evident: that cotton is a
mighty factor: that it is raised
by the swat Of the brow, with
certain kinds of things; that
among these are mules, ploW5
and suitable seasons. That, to
secure our cotton, the bulls and
bears meet in stock exchange,
deriving their unjust power
from the consent Of gold; and,
tnat the government has allowed
the wholesale destruction of
prices, it is now the right of the
South to alter or abolish cotton
manipulations, and to institute a
new cotton g1v9rnn31t, laying
its foundation on right princi-
pies, and organizing its powers
in such form, as shall seem most
likely to effect our safety and
y Osperity. Prudence, indeed,
will dictate that the bulls and
! bears, long established, should
be killed for many causes, and
accordingly, all experience hath
shown, that we have suffered
from specllations, and now we
must right ourselves by abolish
ing the cotton gambling to
which we have been so long
accustomed. But when a long
train of abuses and uSurpations,
pursuing invariably the same
object, evinces a design to re-
duce as under absolute control,
it is our right, it is our duty, to
throw off such conditions and
provide new way for our future
security. Such has been the
patient sufferance of these
southern states; and such is now
tie necessity which constrains
us to alter our present system of
c)tton prices. The history of
Okolona messenger. (Okolona, Miss.) 1900-current, 1914-11-05

the bulls and bears of Wall
Street is a history of repeated
injuries and usurpations, all
having, in direct object, the
establishment of an absolute
tyranny over these states. To
prove this, let facts be SUBMIT
ed to a candid world.
They have refused to give us
a living price for cotton.
They have dealt in spots and
futures until the South is nearly
ripe for the poorhouse.
They have speculated and
gambled with our rightiful
money.
They never give us even a tiny
rakeoff.
They have made our pocket
books look never Before" but
ALWAYS AFTER"
Tney have made us work like
the devil for nothing.
They have just played and
they have etc, etc, etc. in
definitely.
We, therefore, the SOUTH,
situated in the southern part of
the U. S. A., and right now
assembled, appealing to the
Supreme Judge of the world, fer
the rectitude of our intentions,
DO, in the name, and by the
authority of the good people Of
these states, brazenly publiS h
and declare that our millions of
cotton bales are, and Of right to
bring at least Is cents; and
that we are resolved to cut out
this allegiance to the bulls and
bears, and that the government
should see that our pocketbooks
should from now on and forever
be FREE from rheumatism,
swivel joints and ''innocuous
desuetude." " And, for the sup
port of this declaration, with a
firm defiance that WE NEED
THE MONEY. we mutually
pledge to each other-that We'll
trke just whatsoever comes our
way. Houlka Hummer.

Growing Winter
Oats in the South

Washington, D. c., Every
southern farmer should grow
enough oats to feed his work
stock during at least portion of
the year. In addition to fur
nishing feed grain at less cost
than it can be purchased, fall
sown oats prevent the washing
Of the soil by which much fer
tility is frequently lost. There
is still time to SOW winter oats
in the Gulf States, though this
work should be done at once if
good results are to be obtained.
According to specialists of the
United States Department of
Agriculture, oats soWn in the
Southern States during October
or the first half Of November
may be expected to produce at
least twice the yield of grain
obtained from spring seeding.
Winter grain mag be sown on
land which produced a crop of
cotton, corn or cOWpeaS the past
summer. If this land has not
already been plowed, it will be
better to make the surface soil
fine and loose with the disk or
drag harrow than to delay seed
ing by blowing now. Better re-
suits are obtained from sowing
with the drill than from broad
cast seeding, though if drill is rot
available sowing the seed broad
cast on Well-prepared land usual
ly results in good stand. If
the preceding crop was we'll
fertiIized, 100 to 200 pounds of
acid phosphate will be all that
the cats will require this fall,
though a little nitrate of soda
will help the fall growth, es-
pecialIy if the soil is not already
we'll supplied with nitrogen from
the growing of cowpeas or some
other legume. A top dressing
of so to 100 pounds of nitrate of
soda applied when growth starts
in the spring will greatly in
crease the yield.
The variety of winter oats
most commonly grown in the
South is Red Rustproof, Appler,
Lawson, Hundred Bushel, Ban
croft and Cook are selections or
strains of Red Rustproof which
are said to be particularly val
liable in some localities. The
Fulgham is a promising new
variety which natures a week or
ten days earlier than the Red
Restproof. and usually produces
as much or more grain. AS the
