crops which is the outstanding feature
of present-day farming in the South
is seen in an increase of $64,0S2 900 in
the value of grains, an increase of $1S,-
$4,000 in the value of hay, an Increase
Of $12,512,O 900 in the value of Irish po-
tatoes and sweet potatoes, and an in
crease Of more than $1O,OOO,OOO in the
value of live stock on farms. On &C
count of the generally lower prices OF
farm animals throughout the United
States, the increase in the value of live
stock does not fully measure the prog
ress of the South in the past year to-
ward a realization of it's great advant
ages for the production of meat and
dairy products. The department f1g-
ures show increases of $4,000 for
head of mich COWS, 100000 head of
other cattle and $4,000 head If
swine.
Taking into consideration the in
creased extent to which Southern far
mers have produced supplies used on
the farm as we'll as the large increase
in tn value of their marketable prod
ucts, think it may fairly be said that
the average condition of the farmers of

FARMERS BETTER
OFF BY MANY TIMES

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 81. -,
Farmers in the Southern states ira
yersed by the Southern Railway COM
pany's lines are better off by at least
S2OO,OOO,OO0 than they were at this
time last year." said President Harri-
son, of Southern Railway company, in
commenting on the United States agri-
cultural department figures of crop and
live stock values.
The department figures of the val
nues of the crops of cotton, including
seed, grains, hay, tobacco, Irish pota-
toes, sweet potatoes and apples show
a total for those states of 81, 18S, 900
as compared with $1,O20,179, 900 last
year, an increase of $168, 900. The
value of live stock on farms in those
states is reported by the department as
$1O,22S,OOO greater than last year,
bringing the total up to $178,679, 900,
and if we add to this the increased
value of various vegetable and fruit
crops, for which figures are not yet
available, the total will easily reach
$2OO,OOO,OOO.
Although on account of the large
reduction in cotton acreage, the yield
Of cotton was substantially less than
last year, the farm valu eof the cotton
was $46,S72,OOO greater, and of the
seed $4O,952,OOO greater, making the
total value of the crop $S7,S24,000
greater than last year. Teh result of

GEORGIA WELL PREPARED
FIGHT ON BOIL WEtV|L

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 28.-The state
OF Georgia is in better position to fight
the boil weevil than any other staate in
the cotton belt, according to State En-
tomologist E. Lee Worsham, and the
reason for this, he says, is that for
several years past the state has been
experimenting in the development of
early maturing yarities of cotton.
These experiments have already met
with considerable success, and it has
been demonstrated that early maatur
ity of cotton is the surest protection
against weevil ravages for the reason
that the cotton natures before the
weevil has an opportunity to do great
damage.
Mr.. Worsham upon his return from

ANTITRUST LAWS
HURT FOREIGN TRADE

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 2S.-The han

said:

Our Sherman Antitrust Act,
While powerless to forbid any foreign
combination against us, nevertheless
purpOrts to regulate our entire for
eign commerce, and apparently denies
TO our exporters every advantage OF
cooperative action to meet the condi-
tons of foreign trade. Our competit-
crs are encouraged by their govern
ments to unite in highly organized
combinations. Our exporters are
everywhere confronted by combina-
nations of foreign rivals organized to
resist our competition, and must often
sell to combinations of foreign buyers
equipped to depress the prices of our
products. Under such a handicap our
export trade has not even fair
sporting chance.

special Orphanage Day. By
Work Day" is meant that every
friend of the orphan children is
requested to give the proceeds OF
one days business for the sup
port of our 220 children in the
Orphanage. About 335 children
have been cared for during the
entire year and about 220 have
been kept in the Home through
out the year. It is sincerely
hoped that each church, Sunday
school class. missionary society,
Epworth League and individual
will observe this day for the Or
phan children. We appreciate
very much the response by all
who have observed one Sunday
regularly during the year. In
many cases the receipts have
been liberal and generous, but
these funds have not been suffic-
lent to meet our necessary ex-
penses. A number of bills have
had to go over without being
paid until after Work Day.
Each pastor and superintendent
is requested to appoint a special
committee to carry out the pro-
gram for Orpanage Sunday, as
published in Our Home, and to
receive the proceeds of Work
Day and forward same to the
Methodist Orphanage. Special
envelopes should be distributed
at least one week in advance of
Work day. These may be pro-
cured from your printer and same
be paid for out of the proceeds of
Work Day, or where it is not con-
venient to have them printed, a
request to the manager of the
Orphanage will bring a supply,
free of charge.
Let us all pull, plead and pray
for q great Work Day.

the dogs of the town. The head

path here Saturday night and
was killed near Pelahatchie Sun
day morning, was sent TO the
lstata 5acterclogist at jackson,
and after examination he found
that it had rabies in the very
worst form, and advised the town
authorities and communities
where the dog had been to take
the necessary steps at once for
protection. An ordinance was
passed by the board and appears
| in another column of today's pa
per, which makes it imperative
upon the owners of dogs to keep
them confined for a period of
thirty days from this date. All
dogs found on the streets during
this time will be destroyed by the
marshal. We believe that all
our citizens will cheerfully COM
ply with this law, as we are sure
none of them cares to endanger
not only their own lives, but that
of their neighbors also.
