credit to the institution of which his

slSslPPl.


Conditions are improving very
much in the cotton section, declared
Rev. M. E. Gabbard, former resi-
dent of this county, but for the past
three years living at Nesbit, Miss,
where he is pastor of the Presbyte-
rian church. Farmers are not mate
rally reducing their cotton acreage,
according to Mr.. Gabard. He says
that in spite of the vigorous campaign
that has been waged for reduction
of the cotton acreage, it is evident
that every planter is depending upon
the other fellow to do the reducing,
most of them going quietly along and
and planting just about as much cot
ton as ever. The increase in the price
at about the planting season unques-
tionably had the effect of adding to
the acreage. Mr. Gabard is very much
impressed with the Mississippi coun-
try and said that most any crop can
be grown successfully, but there is
usually more profit in cotton than
any other crop although live stock is
becoming more and more popular and
the breeding of pure bred cattle is
quite an industry.
