SiSSOn Throws
Hat in the Ring
Regarded as a Sure Starter in the
Senatorial Stakes.

Jackson. Miss. March 15-Ac-
cordine to information which has
reached jackson. there seems to be
some degree Of misinformation
concerning the plans Of Representa-
tive 7. u. Sisson. Of the Fourth
Mississippi congressional district
with reference to the 1916 senator
ial campaign. It was recently stat
ed in some Of the Mississippi papers
that Mr.. Sisson had declared his in
tention not to bea candidate for the
seat now held by John Sharp VIII
Hams. which report, Nj. Sisson au-
thnrizes the statement is entirely
unfounded.
Passing through Jackson on his
way from Natchez, where he had
been on a visit, Mr.. Sisson declared
his belief that these reports are
being manufactured and circulated
by the opposition, who are appar-
entity anxious that he should not
enter the race. He declared that
at the proper time he WOULD ac-
quaint the people Of Mississippi
with his plans. In view Of the fact
that the campaign for state offices
will be before the people Of Missis-
sippi this year, he does not consider
this to be the proper time to spring
the senatorial campaign
Judging from the manner in which
1 Mr.. Sisson expressed himself, there
was left no doubt in the minds OF
his listeners that regardless Of who
/ else may be in that same canvass
he will, at the time when he con-
siders proper, announce himself as
a candidate. At present he is tax
/ ing no part in the campaigning, but
is resting up, after his period Of try
! ing service in Congress as a mem
Der of the appropriations committee
of the House.

One v for the Southern Farmer
t. Win

The Cotton and Cotton Oil News,
a trade paper devoted to cotton and
the cotton seed oil industry is fair
enough to give expression to a bus
mess condition that should be heed
ed by the southern farmer This
trade paper says the only way to
play safe this year is to plant corn
and emphasizes this advice in the
following editorial:
The time to plant corn is near.
1t is therefore in order to impress
our farmers with the importance OF
increasing the acreage in corn as
much as possible.
There can be no doubt that the
demand for all kinds of grain will
be great while there is little pros
pect for the demand for cotton to
improve much. 1t follows then,
that grain will command a good
prize while cotton will not unless
the war should close. Of this there
/ is no assurance and very gloomy
1 prospect.
1T is the part Of wisdom, accord
ingly for our farmers to grow as
much grain as they can.
Should the war in Europe con-
tinue, all forms of food for man and
beast will command the highest
4 prices ever recorded since the Israe-
lites in Egypt sold to Joseph their
possessions for corn.
Plant corn, plant corn, is the
safest for our southern farmers to
do. Whether the war lasts long or
peace comes soon, there will be a
market for corn at a profitable
price
Why should the southern far
mer take chances on big cotton
crop when he is dead sure to win
on big corn crOp?.
