1t looks like spring has come at last
and the farmers are losing no time IN
planting their corn. Nearly every one
was getting a little restless. The
weather stayed cold so long a lot of
land was plowed too wet and as a re-
suit they have clods which will have to
be crushed before plants can feed on
them.
Everyone is feeling better since
spring has set in and the bad colds have
improved.

week in with chills and fever and is
looking little thin.
We notice from The Advertiser that
the candidates are still coming. Guess
we will have full crop by August,
then comes the thinning out to two IN
a hill. Pity it is that there are not
offices enough for all to have one that
wants one.
We would like to know what new
laws the legislative candidates propose
10 have passed. We think it would be
well if they would have some repealed
unless they were enforced better than
they are. We have a stock law and
horses, hogs and cows are out here IN
April. Then we have a statute on
pistol carrying and black and white
carry pistols with all impunity. We
also have a statute on selling cigarettes
to minors and any ten year old boy can
buy all he wants. The people seem to
feel no responsibility when 1t comes to
seeing that the laws are enforced until
some shocking crime IS committed.
Evidently our conscience needs educat-
ing along certain lines.

ECHOES FROM HERE AND THERE.

Cotton quoted above ten cents for
middlng grades, War conditions the
same or worse than in October, 1914.
WHY? EchO's answer: The season for
planting approacheth. The corn acre
age increased one million in Misslsslp-
nj, with an increased acreage in other
grains and grasses, IS good news, and
means wealth for many instead Of the
all-mighty few. Orchards are being
renewed; new ones being planted. In
terest in cattle growing and stock i'm
prOvement increasing daily. Hope is
revived that the Mississippi farmer is
coming into his own Our state is a
veritable garden of Eden. Here every
thing can be raised that is good for
mans best welfare. Alas as of old,
we have the serpent in the form OF
speculation. Cotton, the forbidden
fruit. Our men the same devoted
Adams; our women are Ewes, thirsting
for knowledge, prestige and raiment.
Voices from out the distance are say
ing the Carolinas can only afford to
buy fertilizer for food and feed crops.
Cotton and tobacco must take a back
seat. Georgia and Alabama, rich in
their iron and marble fields, say we
will not raise six cent cotton TO be used
in war to devastate countries We will
raise grain and cattle to feed the starry
ing poor of this desolated people. OK
lahoma knows her advantages as a
grain producing country. Arkansas
and Louisiana, like our own state, can
live and thrive within their own bor-
ders.
