M. L. Rodgers Buys
Another Plantation

The Silent Shade plantation has again
changed hands; this time Mr. M. L. Rodg-
ers, of Holmes county, practical farmer,
has purchased the entire tract and will
take possession as soon as the present
incumbent has vacated.
This is a fine tract of land and located
most admirably for farming as it must
be done today. The old system has
passed into oblivion and the new is upon
us and the farmer is now the monied
man, II he uses any forethought at all
in planning his farm, Yazoo City Herald.

Barr-GWin Co. Give
Tractor Demonstration

Among the most useful, praticai and
interesting features Of the fair held this
week under the auspices of the Missis-
sippi Valley Fair Association was the
plowing demonstration given by Barr
Gwin Co. Of the Fordson tractor. j.
Preston Rogers manipulated the tractor
and it responded to his every touch, and
convinced the most skeptical of the great
advantages of plowing by tractor over the
old way. There is no doubt that in five
years tractors will be the rule instead
of the exception on well-regulated Mis-
sissippi farms.
