issue of the interest some of my
friends still manifest in me is
appreciated and also understood
as an invitation for another re-
port from this part of the coun-
try from me. l have just finish
ed reading the News and for
fear l may do as l have done for
several months | am now meet
ing demand. Many times / have
intended to write but just allow
ed other matters to intervene.
In fact writing is somewhat a
habit and l have lost the habit
since it ceased to be an actual
requirement of me. The vived
hues of autumn foliage now
spread as a mantle over this sec.
ton and point to bleak days of
approaching winter, but far
shorter and milder than the
many / spent on Burton Ridge.
We have had and are still hav-
ing ideal autumn weather with
only a few days when overcoats
were enjoyed. Our first frost of
any consequence occurred about
two weeks ago and gave us pork
weather and also pork.
Since my last communication
to the News many things have
happened within the realm of
the U. S. A., to make the year
1920 q memorable one-one full
Of achievements and also over
flowing with disappointments.
The National political battle, in
tense as it was in many parts of
the country, did not disturb the
peace and quietude in old Miss
isissippi. We had no contentious,
no discussions and not a political
speech in this part and as a re-
suit no sore spots, no bruises nor
wounds to heal. The verdict
w"s not to our liking. but accept
81 as courteously as if it had
/ been to our order. l have been
present and witnessed the re-
turns from State and National
elections in old Virginia, Ken
lucky and Mississippi, and l am
compelled to say that the most
orderly gathering of this kind ]
ever attended, was in our City
Hall on the evening of the End of
this month. The hall was crowd
ed and every bdlletin was flash
ed on the board, some good, but
many otherwise, and the only
applause was hand clapping. l
enjoyed it, but I could not keep
from thinking of the difference
here and in my old home town,
or at least as it was prior to my
departure.
You made a splendid and hon
orable effort in support of your
party and | felt proud of every
issue just to the party and prin-
ciples it has supported from its
first issue and fair and courte-
GUS to the opposition as well. I
am out of bitter political party
contests and I am truly glad. l
have had enough of it to satisfy
me the rest of my life. l do not
hold to the theory that parties
must be close in voting power to
secure good government or to
cleanse each other. Too often
in the field of close partisan po-
litical activity fraud of the most
heinous kind shows up rather

line.
The years harvests have been
garnered and the balance sheet
shows bad to nearly all agricul-
tural sections. The high cost of
living is not now disturbing
factor for Old Mr.. Decline is get
ting in his ticks fast and furious.
The rosy tints for agricultural
reward, that prompted in the
greatest production of staple
crops, have faded and all Sec
tions alike are facing discourag-
ing prices. Cotton as well as
other farm commodities, is still
on the downward road and may
yet reach a ten cent bottom, but
when the mills open for it and
our foreign market can be reach
ed, we expect a rebound in prices
that will be far more attractive.
Hay seems to be holding better
than any other farm production.
Alfalfa is worth from $25 to $28
F. o. B., and Johnson from SIS
to SIT per ton. These prices still
carry a splendid net profit, while
cotton and other things show
over the left. Our best land
will easily make four tons of al
falfa per acre any average sea-
son and the first cutting reaches
the market int May. If every
acre of this prairie was produc-
ing alfalfa we would still have a
market for it all. Compared to
the great stretch of consuming
territory the alfalfa acreage is
only a moderate meadow and it
ought to all be producing this
fine hay. Diversified farming is
coming to the front as fast as
could be expected in this coun.
try. Cotton, of course, is the
leading crop, and over shadows
all others, but it can't hold its
position under the circumstances
and with so many good farmers
from the Northern states locat-
ing here. The averag man from
states north is not cotton enthu-
siasts, and they are planting 9TH
er crops as well. But little corn
is planted compared to cotton,
and yet the Government esti-
mate for the state is nearly six
ty-fve million bushels for this
year. l predict that it will dou-
BILE in 1921 and that cotton will
fall so per cent. under present
acreage. Unfortunately, l am
not in the hay business, but l
expect to put the alfalfa seed to
many acres next spring and en-
courage Mr.. johnson to do his
best as well. Alfalfa sown in
the spring will give two cuttings
so it is not an expensive seeding
IS it will more than clear its self
the first season. Not many
farms have been sold in the last
few months, but our best lands
are holding firm in prices and
when this depression passes will
be in demand. We are indeed
fortunate in the fact that our
best land has never reached one
third the price of similar lands
in the Northern states, and will
out produce them under similar
treatment.
This being true they will just
