AGRICULTURAL HIGH
SCHOOL NOTES.

AS the Agricultural School
draws to close and as we try to
branch out in school assignments,
in order to give the graduating
class every phase of practical
work possible, we have elected an
editorial staff from the class to
edit a column in the News each
week. This department of the
work will be their own work and
the supervision Of their work
will fall to the faculty member
whose department is being given
the publicity.
Istrust that this column will be
of interest to the readers of the
News each week and especially
to the friends and former stu
dents Of the institution.
1t will be our intention to give
to the people of Rankin county
news of the school and details Of
the work and our students will
in the meantime. profit from the
experience.
/. Yours most cordially.

atoms. One OF them is that prices
for land, for farming implements
and for farm labor have risen
with the price Of wheat, and that
the chance Of q crops failing,
after all the expense Of cultiva-
ton, is greatest in the new and
experimental ACREAGE. But
another and probably the more
important reason is the farmers
doubt whether, after q year and q
half Of peace, with Europe again
increasing its agricultural pro-
duction on its own account, the
foreign requirements and the
price Of food cain possibly remain
where they are today. And for
the next wheat crop there will be
no government guaranty

tinct reasons for the remarkable
change. One is the very great
stimulus given to the. production
Of food-Stuffs in America by the
decrease that the war caused in
the harvests Of Europe. AS soon
as the American farmer learned
that Europe would buy whatever
they produced in excess Of what
we need here at home and would
pay good prices for it, they plant
ed more. The actual area har-
vested in the five principal grain
crops during 1918 was 2O5, 600, 900
acres; last year it was 233, 600, 900
and the total yield, which was
1900, 100000 bushels in 1913, was
5,400, ,000,O 900 in 1919.
That Of itself would have add
ed immensely to the value Of the
crops, even if prices had not
changed. But prices, too, increas-
ed at an exceedingly rapid rate.
In December, 1913, wheat sold at
80 cents bushel in Chicago; last
year the government guaranteed a
price Of 1926, and the grain trade
paid even more. At New York, in
December, 1918, corn sold below
80 cents; in 1919 it brought $1.7O.
The price Of oats went up from AZ
cents a bushel to SO cents; cotton
from IL liz cents pound to 38
cents. The American cotton crop
of last year Is smaller by 2,4OO,-
600 bales, or II per cent, than the
crop Of 1918; but it's value as
reckoned by the government is
greater by $1,100, ,0OO, 900, or near
ly 40 per cent.
It might be imagined that, IN
the face Of such wholly unparall-
eled value for their crops in 1919,
the farmers would be planning
every possible increase in acreage
for 1920. But that is exactly
what they are not doing. There
has been an organized movement
Of the cotton planters to restrict
the acreage. The winter-wheat
crops, which is harvested in July,
is planted the previous fall. The
the government Of the amount Of
land sown- to wheat in the United
States last fall shows that the
50,489,000 acres planted to win
ter wheat a year ago has been re-
duced this year to 38,77O,OOO,
acres, which is less than any
planting since 1918.
How is the fact to be accounted
for? There are several explain

to present before the close OF
school. The 3rd year has spent
the time on Shakespeare's plays,
and the poets Of the nineteenth
century. The second YEAR has
been engaged in debates. Some
of the chapel periods, in Februar
ry, were taken up in heated dis
cussions on compulsory educa-
ton. The 1st year has been doing
grammar work.
The first week of March was
observed ais Good English Week.
AS the pupils entered the school
room each morning they were
greeted with unique and attract
i've posters, each a warning a.

ercises were added to by the sing
ing Of parodies on popular songs,
which carried out the idea OF
good English week. Papers were
read on the following subjects: !:
Speech, a Matter Of Habit; Read
Bad English q Case Of Careless
ness Rather than Ignorance. One
morning was taken up with 9 de-
bate on slang. Wednesday, March
3rd, was observed as tag day. A
white tag for grammatical errors,
blue tag for faulty diction and
slang and d red tag for mispro-
nounciation. Thursday, March
