SOL LAMAR $4,000
Crystal Springs Man Makes For.
tune This Season on
Truck Farm.

Crystal Springs, Miss, Aug. a.
While several men engaged in the
vegetable industry here have accu-
mulated large tracts of land and go
into the business on very large
scale the fact is that the bulk Of
the truck grown and marketed is
grown by men engaged in intensive
farming on smaller scale. OF the
men who have made nine successive
crops without single failure to his
credit and who has accumulated a
good sized bank account, is Sol La
mar, dubbed the Prince Of Peas
on account of his phenomenal sue
cess with peas during the last sea-
son.
Mr.. Lamar has a farm comprising
|119 acres of land. This season he
planted eighteen acres in tomatoes.
From this patch he shipped 1890
crates of tomatoes which netted him
|$1.25 per crate, total of $4,000
for the crop.
He planted thirty acres in cabbage
from which he gathered and shipped
to market 1900 crates that netted
him $4,000. He was the first man
to ship cabbage in carload lots this
season from the territory and com
menced his shipments while the mar
ket was at its peak, receiving for a
large quantity of his cabbage more
than Sc per crate.
His greatest success was attained
however, when he put his pea crop
on the market. He planted thirty
acres in peas, from which patch he
shipped 5000 hampers which sold in
the market for the sum of $4,000
From four acres of peas alone he
shipped 500 hampers which netted
him the handsome sum of 500 per
acre, or $2,S00.
Probably no other man in the en-
tire south holds record to compare
with the achievements of Mr.. Lamar
this season. He does not go heavily
into bean growing but in order to
have some pin money he planted four
acres in beans and gathered $1,000
from it.
In making his settlements in the
last few days he discovered that he
netted $4,000 from his tomatoes,
cabbage, peas and beans, which four
crops employed about ninety acres OF
his farm, and he estimates that his
land yielded him this season an aver
age of $440 per acre.
No other section Of the hills in
Mississippi can produce land that
makes for. its owner anywhere near
such money per acre, thereby proving
that this is the best poor mans coun-
try in the world. But the above ID
not all. Mr.. Lamar has followed his
tomatoes with corn crop comprising
|eighty-five acres, from which be
gathered this vegetable crop, and he
estimates that he will gather forty
bushels to the acre. He also has a
fine hay crop, from which he ex-
poets to get two tons to the acre, and
is experimenting with wheat, having
five acres with splendid prospects Of
getting about two barrels Of -four to
the acre.
Five hundred Leghorn chickens
scratch worms in his yards, and he
has a fine herd of Jersey cattle
Dispatch.
Crystal Springs is getting good
deal Of boosting. Just remember the
Chautauqua-Truck City is only 80
miles north OF Brookhaven and that
what Copiah can do Lincoln can, too.

FACING TIE FACTS

The national debt Of the United
States at the end of the fiscal year
1911-1912 was $1,000, $4,000, or $1040
for each person living in this country
figuring on the basis Of 100,000,00O pop
ulation. The national debt of the
United States on June 1, 1919, was
S25,421, ,151,270. This simply means
that every person in the United Stat
faces a national debt that average
S231.10. If conditions that have be.
come so radically changed by this so
greatly increased debt are to become
in any wise normal they can come in
just one way-the absorption of this
bonded debt by the savings of the peo
pie.
The answer given the Senate Com
mittee by the governor, w. P. G. Hard
ing, of the Federal Reserve Board, to
their query as to what legislation was
needed at this time and to relieve the
financial situation, was: "The Federal
Reserve Board believes that any cur
rency legislation at this time is unnec
essary and undesirable and would sug
gest that whether viewed from an eco
nomic or financial standpoint, the rem
edy for the present situation is the
same, namely: Work and save"
The people have got to spend les:
and save more.
The people can save. Uninvestet
money is dissipated too easily and is
wasted too often. If the money is il
the pocket, that new luxury really not
needed is usually gotten, for it is easy
to convince ones self that it is gooC
business to buy the thing one wants
Invested money earns interest, it Is
not so easily spent. and it encourages
the saving of more.

COST or eINeHAM.

Why do you have to pay rs cents
yard for gingham that would have
sold four years ago for 20 cents?
One reason, explains Richard Ting
ley, in Forbes Magazine, is that the
manufacturers Of cotton goods were
suddenly called upon to switch their
industry that had been ''set" or
"gauged" to produce the goods OF
the civilian trade to the production
of the goods Of war. The war found
the cotton mill men working on we'll
established lines, producing just
about goods enough Cor little bit
more) to meet the needs of our
home people. eWar stepped in and
told them that they must reorganize
their smooth-running factories and
produce the goods Of war. The re-
sclt has been that, for the last two
wears their factories were working
about 40 per cent on the goods OF
war, and about go per cent on civil
ian goods. More than this. The dis
ruption Of organization has resulted
in loss of efficiency in the produc-
ton Of civilian goods Of at least 20
per cent, SO it is safe to say that the
production of cotton goods such as
you and | wear has been but about
SO per cent Of normal since the war
began. To give you an idea Of what
this means, | will say that this 50
per cent shortage amounted, in 1918
alone, to upward of 7,OOO,OOO,OoO

EXPENSIVE COAL IN ALASKA
Hard to Understand in View Of What

1t is impossible to restrain feel

who complains thus about certain
features of life in that land Of ro-

cheaper coal and cheaper freight

gold. But with coal at $3.50 per
ton and other necessities in proper
ton, what can we do in the matter
Of developing the
While this letter from Nome ex-
cites such measure Of sympathy as
the occasion demands, it also raises
a few questions in the back of the
mind. Have we not been told in
days past that coal was abundant in
Alaska? Has it not been remarked
that there was a source Of supply
which the Western states ought to
consider carefully?
Why, then, should it command a
price that excites wonderment even
down here in the land Of costly coal?
And if it is so expensive SO close to
the place where it is mined, what
would be asked for it by the time it
got to the Pacific coast ports?-

BROKEN ON LIES WHEEL

In a poorhouse in Yorkshire,

hood and seat in the British par

Of the most distinguished lawyers in
the north Of England, and for many
years handled the legal affairs of the
poor of his district. But, on his
election to parliament, he began to
neglect his private affairs. His law
practice suffered, and so, last fall, he
found himself heavily indebted and
with little income.
Then he retired from parliament,
in an effort to retrieve his fortune,
but worry over his financial affairs
had sapped his vitality and he suf-
fefed a nervous collapse. 1t became
necessary for him TO 60 into bank
ruptcy, with liabilities Of S135,ooo.
Friends placed him in convalescent
hospital and betrayed his expenses
for time, but this assistance end

poor farm. And there today this
man, once powerful in the affairs Of
his country, spends his hours in
dreams Of past glory.
