BELIEVES HUSBAND
MURDERED FATHER

Meridian, Miss, May 3.-The
coroner's jury Investigating the
murder of Pink Harden, a mer-
chant and farmer of Liberty
neighborhood, who was iounc
dead in his store Tuesday morn.
ing, April "A, completed it's work
this afternoon, and returned a
verdict that Harden came to his
death from blows inflicted with
an ak.
No attempt was made TO fix
the responsibility, However,
Immediately after the report
was made. District Attorney
Martin Miller caused a warrant
to be issued against J. I. Brady,
charging him with the murder.
Brady is a son-inlaW of the
murdered man and was arrested
last week on suspicion, and has
since been in tho county jail.
His wife on the stand today tes
tilted that she believed her hus
band had murdered her father,
but said she had no direct proof
to offer.
Brady is being held without
bond, but has the right to de-
mand a preliminary trial. Owing
to the prominence Of the Har-
dens, the case has created con-
siderable excitement, and feel
ing in the neighborhood where
the tragedy occurred is said to
be strong against Brady.
Two negroes arrested and
held under suspicion have been
released.

1877 IS DANGER
YEAR FOR SOUTH
Twenty Million Bales More Likely
Than Twenty Cents Pound,
Says Hastings.

Atlanta, Ga.-(SpeciaD-That 1917
is danger year" for the south, and
that there Is dynamite in the pres
ent cotton sI,&a zion for the cotton
growing farmer are the warning
words used by H. G. Hastings, presi-
dent Of the Southeastern Fair Asso-
citation and the Georgia Chamber OF
Commerce, in an interview given to
the newspapers here urging farmers
not to increase their cotton acreage.
Eighteen to twenty cent cotton at
planting time in spring" he says, "is
the bait that will lure hundreds Of
thousands of farmers in the south to
each put in a few extra acres, and
should nature smile on the crop as in
1914, we will come nearer a twenty
million bale crop than 20 cents per
pound. for evidence multiplies daily
that they are planting right up to
the graveyard as it is sometimes ex-
pressed.
"On the Hastings farm we don't ex-
pect to put in an acre more of cotton
than we did last year, because we
think it a time above all others to
play safe. What we viii increase to
the limit Of our ability will be food,
grain and forage, beef cattle and
log.
"The safe way is to first supply all
needs of family and stock from ones
own acres, and then put surplus acre
age in cotton. With bread and meat
in hand, and a garden producing
steadily through spring, summer and
| fall: with home canned vegetables and
fruits on closet shelves for winter ia
! BILE use; with corn in the crib and hay
and fodder in the barn or stack, the
| farmer can be largely Independent OF
| cotton prices in the fall. The farmer
/ so provided for is never distressed
He can sit on his cotton bales with
mind at ease, and sell in his own good
| time when prices are right.
with labor comparatively scarce
/ and fertilizer high, any material in
crease in cotton acreage must nee
essarily be at the expense Of food and
grain acres that are in reality far
| more responsible for the souths pres
ent prosperity than is IS to 20 cent
! cotton.
Memories are short, but wise far
mers need only to look back to 1914
and see the disaster due to too much
cotton that can't be eaten, and the
| lack of food that one must eat. l re-
peat this year of 1917, is a danger
year. Any farmer who increases cot
ton acreage and cuts food crop acres
is gambling with the cards stacked
against him."

Large Acreage Planted


From the appearance of the
fields in Stone county, it would
seem that the farmers are car
rying out the advice of the Agri-
cultural Department.
All open lands are being
planted and in some places new
ground is being cleared and
planted. With a favorable sea
son big crop yield will be had
and at present prices should
mean prosperity to our far mers.

MEANS OF RAISING FOOD STUFFS.
President Wilson and the
National department Of Agricul-
ture are daily calling attention to
a threatened food shortage
throughout h e nation, n d
especially in the south; stating
that unless some immediate
steps are taken, real suffering
may be expected. The state Of
Louisiana is meeting the grave
crisis in a systematic way, Gov.
Pleasant has appointed a state
food preparedness commission,
and this body is assisted by the
parish organizations, headed Gy
President of Police Jones and
pa u. i $ h Superintendents OF
education. These committees
are charged with the duty of
organizing, directing and slim,
ulating efforts that will result in
the imm ediate planting and cul-
tivation of increased acreage in
food crops and in the raising Oh
cattle, hogs and poultry.
The state of Mississippi is
awake and ready to do her part
We must not only feed ourselves
but help feed some Of the
nations that are handicapped.
This will call for a system Of
farming that we have longed tC
see, and the farmers must be
encouraged, by all classes OF
people, to raise crops that can
be used for food and for the
production of live stock.
Every available acre should be
planted to corn, peas, soy beans,
velvet beans, peanuts, and sweet
ana irish potatoes etc. The best
methods OF preparation and cul
tivation must be employed to
gether with the judicious use of
fertilizers. Many Of our wide
awake citizens are giving seec

This calls for more fertilizer,
labor. and capital, but it is the
only way our farmers will be
efficient. The farms Of the

as they do not produce the
amount Of food required by the
Southern states. There are, in
practically all the counties corn
clubs. poultry clubs, pig clubs
and tomato clubs. The work III

cultivate a few more tomato
plants; and the poultry club
members should be made to un-

this time is highly important.
The raising Of pure-bred stock
should not be required, but the
mum Der must increase. The
boys and girls in these clubs
should raise more feed for live
stock, snch as corn, cow peas,
sweet potatoes. soy beans. velvet
beans, peanuts, etc. A SySJema
tic effort shoula be made to in

various clubs, for these boys and
