ANNAPOLIS DISTRICT LOW"
But Returns For Y. n. C. A. Fund
Are Not All In.

Says a headline in Baltimore
paper in its story about the "Y,'
Fund Near Halfway"
The sum of $Ss is given for this
district, and this amount give a
wrong impression.
There is a house-to-house canvass
being done, and these men have not
turned in their money to the treas
urer, Mr.. Thomas j. Linthicum. At
this time. therefore, it is impossible
to estimate the amount collected. or
in process of collection in this city.
One collector last night on one street.
when told Annapolis had only raised
$88, showed the amount collected by
himself alone, yesterday, including a
roll OF bills, several of them fives as
well as twos and ones. and a quantity
of silver money
Most OF these Annapolis men col
Iectors are working men, employed
during the day, and are handicapped
as they can only collect for the Y. NJ.

that he has in hand today s26S.75. and
later heard from the West River sec

tremes of heat There are no heat
prostrations in this territory. The rain
fall is from 45 to go inches, generally
we'll distributed There is an abun&f
dance of good drinking water, and con-
ditions generally make for a healthy
country. The mortality rate of the state
is about thirteen per thousand. Look
ing at the long growing season from
financial standpoint it will be readily
appreciated that the Mississippi farm
with two hundred and fifty growing
days per year has a great advantage
over the Canadian farm with less than
one hundred growing days. Houses and
barns are for less expensive, so little
protection from the cold being needed
The same applies to the fuel and CLOTH
ing, and to considerable extent, to
heat producing feed for stock
For many years, cotton has been Mis-
sissippi's greatest crop, its long staple
being declared the best grown, selling
at an advance over ordinary market
quotations. Northern farmers have no
trouble growing cotton in Mississippi.
Any man who can raise wheat, corn or
oats, can produce cotton. While cotton
will doubtless remain one of the leading
crops, the unexcelled opportunities for
diversified farming, including stock
raising and dairying, are fast being re-
allied. 1t has been demonstrated that
grasses and legumes can be grown in
larger tonnage and with greater GER
tainty in Mississippi than in any other
state. Pasturage lasts practically the
entire year. Hogs can be produced for
from two and one-half to four cents per
pound, and beef from four and one-half
to six cents Corn is being grown to
good advantage. Little has been heard
of Mississippi as corn state, due to the
fact that the acreage in this grain has
been omparatively small. Climate con-
dtions make it corn country. Much
encouragement has been given the Boys
Corn Clubs and these boys, as we'll as
their elders, are very successful where
proper methods are employed. One boy
made record yield of two hundred and
twenty-seven bushels on one acre. A
farmer in LeFlore county made yield
of one hundred twenty one and one-half
bushels per acre on a seventy acre field.
Heavy yields of oats are also made, the
highest of which we have record being
one hundred and thirty-tive bushels.
While little attention has been given to
the raising of Irish potatoes, as matter
of fact, Mississippi outranks the north
ern potato producing states in yield per
acre, an average of ninety one bushels
