HIGH PRICED FOODS AND FEED
IN PROSPECT.

The wheat and oat crop will be
very short in the South this year.
In fact, it seems that the wheat crop
of the entire country will be short.
The price of wheat is high at this
time, and unless a very large crop is
grown in one or more large wheat
growing countries, the price will be
much higher next fall.
1t now seems almost certain that
the price of all foodstuffs will be un-
usually high for a year or two. If
this happens to be a good cotton year
big crop will be grown and the
prices will be forced down. The
wise farmer will grow the necessary
food and feed and then cotton.
The most productive soil should be
planted in corn or grain sorghums
while the poorest soil in vigorous
growing leguminous crops, and the
balance in cotton. This means COM
mon sense farming. All cotton farm
ing is nonsense farming.-The Pro-
gressive Farmer.

DIDN'T HAVE WELL

II had not seen a well day in

coated and ! had a bad taste in
my mouth all the time. My con-
dition was so bad that / could
get little sleep, but would roll
and toss about all night long.

MORE WORK AND LESS PAY.

Good news comes from Columbia
University, or it will be regarded as
good news by the old-fashioned folk
who still persist in thinking that
learning rather. than athletics should
be the chief aim OF both a college
and its students. Precisely what the
proposition is is not made very clear
in the report that finds limited space
in the news columns, but it isintima-
ted that Columbia's heads now aim
at something like an aristoc-
racy of able and earnest scholars. /"
Aristocracy is not an inviting word
in world that is supposed to have
been made for democracy, but of
course we are not to suppose that 1t
is or can be meant literally. Admit
tedly it is impossible to make popu-
lar hero out of young scholar, how
ever able, enthusiastic and hard
working: but If Columbia can lift
the long despised "grindp into re-
spectability and win for him a. hum
dredth part of the esteem lavished
upon the, football champion, a last
ing service to the cause of educa-
tion will have been performed.
OF course even old fashioned folk
who believe in learning favor col
lege athletics in their proper place.
knowing that a sound mind requires
the support of sound body, and CO.
lumbia's reformers would not dare
to attempt to dethrone football even
If they wished to do so. The new
system merely proposes to award
honors with view to remind stu
dents that higher achievements are
possible in the class room than on
the campus. In other words, an
effort will be made to cause the PEN
dulum to swing back a little more to-
ward the old ideals of university
life. Obviously what is needed is the
golden mean between mental and
physical training, between work and
play, and Columbia will do a great
thing even If such attainment is on
ly approximated.-Yazoo Sentinel.

FINDS STOCK HAVE
STARVED TO DEATH
Mississippi Boards Inspector
Investigates Losses on
Many Farms.

Jackson, Miss, March IA great
many cattle and quite number of
horses and mules have died on Mis-
sissippi farms during the past month
or two and the appalling death rate
has been called to the attention of
the State Live Stock Sanitary Board
with the result that an investigation
has been made. DR.. HI. HI. Chad
wick, state inspector, has made in
quiry In several localities where cat
tie have died recently, and is of the
opinion that they have simply starv-
ed to death. The corn and hay crops
were short last fall and the aver
age farmer could not afford to buy
thes food the stock needed to keep
them barely alive until grass came
again. 1t is urged that the remedy
has been. to sell half the cattle and
buy feed for the other half, rather
than to have them die of cold and
starvation.
NEW COUNTY FIGHT.
A trainload of citizens of the ter
ritory out of which the new county
of Lowry is proposed to be made
were in Jackson Friday to attend
the session of the House Committee
on local and private affairs. Some
favored the measure while others op-
posed, and they made their influence
felt in the committee room. Scores
of the visitors proved to be the own
ers of lusty lungs and their ventures
on oratory were interesting to all in
attendance. They discussed
the measure up one side
and down the other, explained one
of the more enthusiastic advocates of
the new county, but he admitted
that the opposition had some knock
down arguments in their favor. Ap-.
plause of the noisiest kind resounded
through the capitol building until
late in the afternoon, and 1t was evil
dent that both factions were filled
to overfowing with enthusiasm. The
members of the committee are keep
ing silent as to what their report will
be. The bill has already passed the
Senate.
SIMPSON GETS AGENT.
Simpson county has fallen in line

behind the times" and fortunately
for tie farmers there are remarkably
few of that slow class.
