RAISE MORE VANS
IN cOPIAH COUNTY
IL ,nM &EAttt1I i ~ -. ~,
Farmers shin Hundreds Of Bush
GELS and Dry KiIns Increase
Profit.

Hazleheurt. Miss, March 30.-
The sweet potato industry has in
creased steadily In ,Copiah County
for the past four or five years. Since
the board of supervisors obtained a
county agent here there has been a
gradual increase in acreage and in
this county the farmers are shipping
each year hundreds of bushels Of
potatoes to every part Of the coun-
try.
Increase of acreage has been advo-
Gated by the county agents for the
past five years, and 1t. has received
considerable attention by the farm
ers, and the acreage for this year
will be increased. It has been prov
en- by actual test that the climate
here and the soil were we'll adapted
for yams, and for the farmers to get
the best results and best prices for
their product, 1t was only necessary
that they have some storage facili-
ties. To take care of this feature
OF the undertaking dry kilns have
been erected until today there Is
something like 100 dry kilns in the
county where farmers store potatoes.
They keep better in dry kilns than
the old way and command from Is
to 20 cents per bushel more on the
market than potatoes not "dry kiln
ed" These kilns are built on plans
furnished by the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture.
Farmers have also learned that
there Is less labor attached to the
cultivation of sweet potatoes than
most any other crop they can plant,
and that the return per acre is more.
From this county last season ten
cars were shipped comparatively, and
by this means farmers received the
top Of the market for their pro-
duct.
There will be an increase In ship
ments from this county this fall as
the acreage will be larger, and the
farmers have been taught the best
and most modern methods of -culti-
yation by the county agent, and much
interest is being manifested along
this line.
One farmer who was among the
nrst to build a dry kiln for sweet
potatoes near this place has for sew
eral years found ready market for
all his potatoes and sells several hum
dred bushels each year, always get
ting a high price for them. What
ne mas done is being done Of late by
otner farmers. The county agent
mere expects the shipments to run
higher this year. and the potato in
dustry, like the dairy COW, has come
to stay i'm Copiah county and other
parts OF the state where the farmers
have been shown the profts In such
an industry that viii bring in money
at the close of the year where cot
ton has sometimes failed.

The coming of womens' suffrage
must bring with 1t wave Of educa-
ton for women If the country's
standards are to be preserved. Miss
Helen Taft, acting president Of Bryn
Mawr College, told members Of the
Southern Association of College Wo-
men and the Newcomb Alumnae As
soeiation Monday afternoon at New
comb College.
Miss Taft, who is touring the coun-
try, speaking for the increase Of
teachers salaries and better educa-
tional methods. was introduced by
Miss Mary Leila Hardness, president
of the Southern Association of Col
lege Women, and professor Of Latin
at Newcomb. The Bryn Mawr presi-
dent emphasized the Importance Of
educating the millions Of women who
would be givensthe ballot within the
next few months, and pointed out
that the educational situation new
er has been more serious, with an ac-
tual shortage Of 100000 teachers.
The far West has attained a
higher standard Of education for its
women than either the South or the
East" Miss Taft said. Thirty years
ago, when Bryn Mawr was founded.
It was an unheard OF thing to proffer
the same subjects and courses to girls
IN college as to men. The strides
have been rapid, but still we must
advance much further in the next
few years"
