MISSISSIPPI HAS
 FARMERS SOCIETY
 VERY MUCH ALIVE
Patrons Union in Scott County Holds Annual
 Meeting at Lake
By E.. 10. FRANTZ

Jackson, Miss. August 4.-Prof w. F. Bond, state superintendent of educa- tion, has returned from a visit to the Patrons union at Lake, Scott county, 60 miles east of Jackson, where he de- livered one of the principal addresses. Sad. but true, Professor Bond, native Mississfppian. born and raised within less than 100 miles of Lake did not know there was any such organization in the state until he was invited there to make a speech and so admitted to his audi ence. This is perhaps the oldest farmers organization in the south. It has lived and has accomplished a great deal of substantial good for the simple reason that it's members have attended to their own business, lived up to their bylaws and kept clear of politics. For 37 long and eventful years it has held an nual meeting at Lake. the farmers for many miles round about coming with their families and camping for a week or 10 days, during which they and their children have listened to book farm CTS" talk, have compared notes, ex- changed ideas, showed their fine horses and colts, their best milch cows and fat test porkers, while their women folks showed the luscious contents of their pantrys and chatted vigorously about their gardens, their farms, orchards, dairies and babies The result Is that there are hundreds of the best most and most prosperous farmers in Mississippi living and having attrac- tive homes in the vicinity of Lake. Mean time such farmer organizations as the Grange, the Alliance and the Farmers union have turned their toes to the daisies and are known no more in Mis- sissippi. They all fell into the hands of the politicians and went down before the democratic hosts.
