tell the farming class of the cot

full of eggs now. 1t is done by
a crossbreed of insects, the boil

may be called elephant snout,
and a small bug about the size of
a lightning bug. He is called
the sharpshooter. The sharp

What One Farmer Thinks

Editor Journal:
Please give me space in YOU
valuable paper to give a farmers
view of the educational tour
made by representatives from
the Memphis Business Club, the
State Experiment Station, the
A. & M. College. and our County
Demonstration. The lectures
made by these men of experience
and theory have had a good eff

Lee County. We have the soil
and the class of farmers in our
county that can be depended on
in almost any emergency. |
have been thinking along the line
of changing the system of farm.
ing in this country from the one
crop way to the diversified plan
as outlined by the experts, not
only have | caught the idea but
the people are ready to take hold
and try it out.
The bankers of our county
and state seem to be behind this
movement; they seem to be will
ing to hack any reliable farmer
who is willing to make an honest
effort. Most of us have not the
ready money to begin, even on a
small scale, but with a little help
we can change our system of
farming from the old way to a
grain and cattle country. We
have been told, Mr.. Editor, what
to do and how to do it, and with
the help of a good Demonstration
to guide US along and make
everything plain, we can and
must do it.
Now a word as to what the
farmer must have to make of
this diversified plan a sure sue.
cess, there must be a market
created for what he has to sell.
| beg to suggest, Mr.. Editor.
that a mass meeting be called of
the bankers. lawyers, doctors,
farmers and capitalists to dis.
cuss ways and means to do this.
One good way would be to build
an elevator, erect hay sheds,
build a market house to take
care of the peas, potatoes, pea
nuts, soy beans, chickens and
eggs and a variety of other
things that can be raised on the
farm. Keep in touch with the
markets and find out the best
places to dispose of cattle and
hogs, but best of all would be to
establish a Packing house right.
in Tupelo. The location of your
city with its railroad facilities
would make an ideal place for
such a plant. A wide scope of
territory suited best for cattle
and hogs than any other part of
the state. to draw from; such an
enterprise in my opinion would
not only make money for those
who invested their capital in it,
but would do more to bring about
the change so much desired by
all of us, than anything | know
of. | do not think it would be
advisable for all the stock in
these things | have mentioned
should be held exclusively by the
people who live in the towns. A
great many farmers would be
glad to take stock; it would Gre
ate an interest and encourage
them, and through their infu-
ence induce other farmers to
raise the stuff to support these
institutions. In other words to
bring about a change in a SUBJ
stantial way a market must be
created for everything the farm
er has to sell, with no graft at

1welNe-QolIae Cattle.

Naturalization Of s12 cattle in the
market spells plainly a war price situ-
alton. Cattle have been advanced be-
cause of the scarcity Of beef for con-
sumption in this country, occasioned in
great part by the enormous exports.
Cattle are not proportionately higher
than corn or other feeds. AL farm
commodities have gone higher under
the influence of the war demand and as
long as this demand continues prices
will be dominated by It.
The country shows an actual in
crease in beef production over a few
years ago and the advancing prices
are stimulus to cattle breeding. Let
the breeder have no fear of violent re-
action in cattle values. and the feeder
must continue TO bear in mind that Sl2
cattle can have only like effect upon
feeder cattle cost and also feed-stuff
cost, with that which came about when
a SO basis was hit and later 81. The
feeders margin, taking all things into
consideration, is still short one

Cattle.

some little corn feed, selling now all
the way from s7.75 to $500, values are
60675 cents higher at least than they
were at low point less than two weeks
ago. In some instances, greater gain
has been made. Advances on the cheap
light steers have been almost as much.
and killers have shown keen favor for
the poorer light steers off grass this
week, taking that kind freely as re-
suit Of shut Of OF liberia! receints of
light steers from the range country.
The whole price list in trade for beef
steers is on levels well up with the best

high levels in trade history. Cattle Of
class landing now at 81 are 50@75
cents higher than the top point early
this summer, when top was s11.50.
Shortage of the long fed choice steers
this week has forced killers to go after
next best kinds and pay relatively
higher prices than have prevailed for
the cream Of the crop. This has af-

Corn-It Is very difficult for the av-

Chicago, Nov. 10-After a wavering
start the wheat market today made a
decided upward jump. Unexpected
lower quotations from Liverpool with
scattered showers in Argentina gave
temporary advantage to the bears.
Good support soon forced prices up

Argentina. The opening, which ranged
from IL to IA cents decline to IA
cents advance, with December at l.SSE
TO 1874 and May at 1872 to S1.92&,
wac followed by a moderate general
setback and then rise all around
Assertions that frost had done seri-
Gus damage in Argentina acted as
stimulus to buyers and carried prices
here to the highest point this season.
The close nevertheless was weak at

1927 for May. with the market IA
cents lower to a like advance.
Corn.
Corn weakened with wheat and later
rallied when wheat developed strength.
Export demand and prediction Of cold
er weather helped the advance. After
opening u to % lower. the market re-
ceded little, but on the subsequent
up turn went to the highest level since
1892.
Buuish Argentina advices gave lift
TO corn. The close was unsettled at
gain Of 70 to 13s cents net.
Oats.
Oats were chiefly governed by the
action Of corn. Offerings were well
absorbed.
Provisions.
Higher prices for lard at Liverpool

PROGRESSIVE FARMING.

No n will dispute the fact that
the Panhandle and plains country of
Texas is making the greatest prog
ress OF any section Of the State, a fact
largely due to availing ourselves Of
scientific aid.-Amarillo News.
The Panhandle and the plains are
making great strides in thrift. The
fields and towns and pastures and
bank deposits prove 1t. And much Of
the credit for this state Of affairs is
traceable to the willingness OF the
Western people to be taught things
they don't know. The Western farm.
ers are good readers. They are heavy
patrons of the Agricultural Depart
ment and the A. and NJ. rs regards
the bulletins and similar documents
describing experiments and detailing
experiences. Any farming country
where the practitioners Of farming as
sumo to know all that is to be known
about their business is a slow and
poverty-stricken district. The science
Of the farm changes and improves
from decade to decade along with the
other sciences, and farmers who per-
sist in "doin' like dad done" inevita-
bly, fall behind. State Press used to
know a farmer who argued volubly
that the whole art OF agriculture lay
in main strength and aw~kwardness.
III you get anything out Of the ground
you've got to dig for IT," was his grip
ping and final contribution to all such
contentious. But he sent his son Bill
TO Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege. partly because he was proud OF
Bill and partly because Bill was going
anyhow. And in due course Bill fin.
ished at the college. came back home
and worked a year for the old man.
