HOW ABOUT A FARM
DEMONSTRATORS FOR 1920?

Jan. 5th was the time tor the
Board Of Supervisors to employ a
farm demonstrator for the year
1920. At that meeting the sentiment
of the board seemed to be decidedly
opposed to continuing the work for
another year. Their argument was
that so far as they had been able to
find out their people were opposed
to having an agent this year. This
could not be denied in view Of the
fact that no farmers appeared before
the board to express their views on
the matter. Owing to the almost
impossible condition of the roads, the
supervisor from Beat 3 made mo-
ton that the matter be continued for
one month so that the farmers might
have an opportunity to express them
selves. 1 hope every farmer will
bear this in mind and be at the court
house Monday Feb. End, at 1890 P.
M.
Also please keep these facts before
you; last year the farm demonstrator
for Grenada County cost the people
six tenths of one mill on their assess
ment. To make it palmer, if a man
was paying taxes on farm valued at
1000 dollars it cost him 6Oc to sup
port the demonstration work, and to-
day the agent is saving the farmer
60c a sack on every sack of shorts
that he gets for him. Also remember
that nearly every farmer in the
county will have to buy feed stuff of
some kind this year. We have just
unloaded a car of feed that saved the
farmers $395.OO. Last week we
shipped a car of hogs that saved the
growers $4,000 making a total saw
ing of $755.OO for one car out and
one car in. Two thirds of the
weight of our hogs netted 15c per
pound. Last year you spent $4,000
for county agent and saved $24,-
10000 from his work, and it is far
more important to have. one this year
than last because of the large guam
tity of feed stuff that has to be
bought.
AS / see the situation it will cost
the county $34OO to have good
agent and, at least, $4,000 not to
have one. I would further call the
farmers attention to the fact that
they will have to pay only 20% of
the $1,000 that it will cost to have an
agent but will have to pay the entire
cost of not having one.

SUPREME COURT PASSES
ON SUPERVISOR CONTEST
Opinion by Chief Justice Smith Brief
But Virtually States Court Has
Nothing to Do With Contest. An
derson Winner.

The Supreme Court handed down
decision Monday affirming the ac-
tion Of Judge Lamb in refusing the
mandamus against the Democratic
Executive Committee in Grenada
County in the matter Of the contest
of w. V. Horton VS. Frank Ander-
son. The decision was rendered by
Chief Justice Smith. This case, as
the Grenada County public knows,
grew out of the contest for Super
visor in district at the primaries
last summer. Mr.. Anderson was
sworn in the first Monday in jan
uary and the action of the Supreme
Court makes final disposition of the
case in Mr.. Anderson's favor.
Below is the opinion of the Court
as rendered by Chief Justice Smith
Judge Smith, the reader will observe,
says the case is "moot one"-hard-
ly had any business in Court

sippi.

Anderson and Horton were can
didates in the primary election held
on the 26th of August, 1919, for the
by the Democratic party
as it's candidate for the office of sup
ervisor of Beat No. of Grenada
County in the election held in No
vember, 1919. The county executive
committee declared Anderson the
party nominee. On November 3rd,
1919, petition for a mandamus was
fled on behalf of Horton, praying
that the county executive committee
be ordered to reassemble and count
the votes cast in the primary election,
and to declare Horton the party NOM
nee. A summons was issued on this
petition returnable before the circuit
Judge in vacation on the 14th day of
1919. The regular eiec-
lion in which Horton sought to run
as a candidate of the Democratic
party for the office Of supervisor was
held on the 4th day of November,
1919.
when the cause came on for trial
-he circslit judge dismissed the petit :
,ion, and committed no error in SO
1oing, for the reason that since the
election in which Horton desired to
run as the candidate of the Demo
cratic party for the office of super
Tisor had been held, recount of the
1otes cast in the primary election
would have availed Horton nothing,
even though it should appear there
rom that he should have been declar-
ID the nominee. The question pre-
'ented by the petition is a mere moot

Flu Making Its Appearance Again.

The flu has made it's appearance
again in different parts of the coun-
try. In New York and Chicago, it
is quite an epidemic though not so
bad as it was a year ago. Memphis
has closed her public schools, picture
shows and other public meeting
places. The disease has made but
little headway thus far in Mississippi.
The doctors are better prepared this
year to handle the disease this year
than before. There are a few cases
in and around Grenada.

The supreme business need of the
South this year will be to raise more
foodstuffs.
Unless the South increases its grain
acreage and its production of meats,
an advance in the price of cotton
will be almost in vain so far as gen.
eral future prosperity is concerned,
and especially the prosperity of the
cotton growers.
Every Southern State, like every
other State in the Union, has small
er acreage in wheat this winter than
a year ago. The aggregate decrease
for the country is about 12,O0O,0OO
acres, or 25 per cent. In the West
there are evidence Of very great
decrease in the meat supply. Unless
the South meets this situation by rails
ing more corn and oats and pork and
beef and poultry, this section and the
country at large will have to pay ex-
orbitant prices for foodstuffs and
feedstuffs.
No greater commercial folly could
be committed by the South than to
be tempted to increase its cotton
acreage at the expense of its food
stuff supply. Any man who advo-
Gates that policy is going directly
contrary to the best interests of the
cotton growers of the South and Of
the country and Of the world.
Every possible effort will be made,
directly and indirectly, by the worlds
cotton mill interests to induce the
South to increase its cotton acreage,
but any man who does that from a
selfish or from a mistaken point OF
view of an increased supply of his
own raw materials will be endanger-
ing the worlds food supply.
Millions of people are on the
verge of starvation, and it is estimat-
ed that millions will actually die for
lack of food which we are not send
ing in adequate supply and which
Europe has not produced.
The cost Of food in this country
will in all human probability steadily
advance despite all the mouthings OF
politicians who are predicting lower
prices, but whose predictions have
in every case during the last Two
years proven false.
More corn, more oats, more hogs,
more cattle, more poultry must be
the motto of the South. The busi-
ness man who does not seek to inn
press this fact upon the farmers will
be. to the extent of his influence, add
ing to the inevitable higher cost OF
living for himself and his employees
and all others.
The Southern cotton grower now
controls the situation, to a certain ex-
tent insuring a fair margin of profit
on the staple, but his profit is not
near so much as it should be in pro-
portion to the profits Of cotton mills.
The question, however, is infinitely
broader than the welfare of the cot
ton mills of this country and OF Eu-
rope, for people can lessen their
consumption of cotton goods to far
greater advantage than they can les
sen the supply of foodstuffs.
If the South does not raise its
own foodstuffs to a larger extent
than ever before since 1861 and IN
crease it's supply for shipment to 9th
er sections, it will fall short OF its
duty to itself and to the world
