THE NEED OF milk WELLS" IN
LOWNDES COUNTY.

Editor Columbus Dispatch;
A recent article in your paper, en-
titled MIX Wells Versus Oil Wells"
especially attracted my attention.
No section Of the country needs to
strike oil more than the prairie sec
tion Of this county, and no one is
more eager for this than | am. But,
at best, the discovery Of oil is
uncertain.
on the other hand, no section can
boast Of better grazing country nor
one where the grazing season is
longer, or the winters milder. If
money can be made in the dairy bust
ness in Wisconsin, where the winters
are long and hard, necessitating Il am
told the use Of heated barns and the
feeding Of much concentrates, surely
the profits should be much greater in
Mississippi, where the winters are
short and mild, and where cottonseed
meal is to be had at the very source
Of supply, thus saving to the dairy
man a high freight rate.
No other part Of the South, per-
haps, and certainly no other part of
Mississippi, retains to so great de-
gree the customs, the manners, the
civilization and the ideals Of the "0ld
South" as does the prairie section of
Lowndes county. But no section, or
no nation, can remain the same. New
conditions, new problems, weave them
selves into the ever-changing warp
and woof Of human life and human
experience; and these new conditions,
these new problems, demand
changed order of affairs.
There are but few, if any, ] fancy,
who can deny that steadily increas-
ing scale of taxation, together with
a steadily decreasing scale Of soil pro-
ductivity, has brought us very near
to the place where different method
of farming is not only desirable, but
is. indeed, imperative.
Without question, that country
which is made up of small farms, each
farm being operated by the farmer
himself and not by tenants, attains
the greater prosperity and contrib
utes more to the upbuilding of society
and Of the nation than does one made
up of large estates. And it seems
true that the combination of
dairying with general farming is
contamination devoutly to be wished.
I happen to know Of some individuals
in other parts of Mississippi who have
furnished themselves and have made
their crops this year from the pro
ceeds Of the mix Of d few cows; and
/ have not a doubt but that these
same individuals have raised on their
skinned milk enough hogs to supply
them with meat next year.
In my Judgment, one of the most
of the most vital
problems facing the Chamber of Com
merce is the need of encouraging
small white farmers from farther
north to come TO this section to EN-
bark in a combination Of general and
dairy farming. Each year the grass
grows harder and harder to control
Those who are so fortunate as to live
near a railroad station can convert
this into hay with more or less profit
considerably less at the present price
Of hay) but the man who has to haul
his hay some ten or twelve miles to

TOPICS OF WALL STREET.
The Ducketer,s Fears.

Through the uncharted route OF Wall
Street gossip comes news that the bucket
shops are uneasy Institutions. The fear
prevails that on some bright day tho
Attorney-General may descend on them
like pail OF milk or the top shelf. AS
far as New York State is concerned the
Martin anti-fraud law, enacted at the
last session OF the Legislature, supplies
ample machinery for examination OF
brokerage office books. What is needed
Il an incentive to start legal activities
going. and the bucketers are apprehen-
sive Of a campaign which will become
decidedly personal. Bucketing Is not
detected as easily as It was five years
ago. but the same system prevails. with
its methods changed somewhat Buck
citing as the Street talks about It now is
more refined than the old. crude way OF
taking bets ON stock market movements
on a 2 point margin. Now customers
buying orders are actually executed and
Offset Immediately by the sale Of an
equal amount of the Same stock. The
customer is charged interest on money
that he thinks is borrowed for him by
the bucketer. but actually no money is
borrowed at all, as no stock is carried ON
margin, although the customer thinks
1t Is.

Another Rumor Market.

Tho market yesterday had again
reached the point where there appeared
to be no particular definite trend. but
rather an aimless and indefinite drift
Ing with only rumors on individual
stocks to advance or depress them.
Throughout most OF the day the mar
ket was very dull and most uninter-
esting affair. Where rumors werc
needed to put this stock up or that one
down they were instantly supplied about
the financial district. In the last few
days the Street has become saturated
SO thoroughly with bear reports OF
dividends to be passed that such stories
have become somewhat ineffective. So.
for the most part yesterday. the other
side Of the proposition was worked and
Wall Street was busy hearing about
dividend increases for New York Dock
and several other companies. as we'll
as about the inauguration OF dividends
In certain issues, including Sinclair. No
denials of those rumors came out dur
ing the day. because, although officials
OF corporations are quick and hot in
their denials of untrue rumors Of divi-
dends to be cut or passed. circulated
for the purpose OF depressing the value
of the stock. they are singularly reti-
cent when 1t comes to an equally un-
true report of an increased dividend
put out for advancing a stock.

Money Firm.

Call money continued yesterday to
display a firm tone. tho rate throughout
the day In the New York Stock Ex-
change being Z per cent Although the
Government Withdrawals wore a factor
the real explanation lies in the movo-
ment of Now York banks to reduce their
borrowings from the Reserve Bank and
in the increasing extension OF accommo-
datlon TO out OF town institutions during
the crop growing period. Out OF re-
duction OF s193. 100000 In bank borrow
ings throughout the United States from
the reserve system the New York reduc-
tion was $162,oo0.000. Under such cir
cumstances It Is not difficult TO explain
tho paucity of funds available for stock
exchange purposes. For the first time
In many months bank borrowings from
the New York Reserve Bank were less
than $500 100000.

Two Prices for same Bonds.

When the permanent certificates rep
resenting the Marland OH Company's
bonds are listed on the New York Stock
Exchange in place Of the present tenn
porary certificates Wall Street Is likely
to see a situation In which two quota
tions. some distance apart, will be made
for the same bond. The bonds to be
listed viii carry attached q stock option
warrant which the owner will be priv
ileged to remove at any time he desires.
For that reason It is believed that soTe
owners of the bonds will detach those
warrants prior to selling their bonds,
which will make for a lower quotation.

Eastern Illinois Stock Watched.

The financial community is watching
with interest the course Of Chicago and
Eastern Illinois In the curb. After gain
ing a point In Wednesdays market that
roads common stock closed yesterday
with a small fractional loss on a total
turnover of 1000 shares. A prominent
New York Stock Exchange house is
rumored 10 have accumulated around
10000 shares of its when issued COM
mon stock. An active market Is ex-
pected for tho stock when admitted to
trading on the big board. There was
little activity yesterday in the stock OF
the Glen Alden Coal Company. which Is
to take over the Lackawanna's coal
holdings. Delaware, Lackawanna and

Wink mt Unemployment Reports.

Local railway officials discredit re-
ports from Chicago to the effect that
250.000 unskilled workers will be re-
employed by June ! in anticipation of
the wage cuts to go into effect on
July 1. No carrier may be expected
to take back maintenance OF way labor
ers on anything like a large scale at
4Sis cents an hour. when by waiting
a month the wage will be in the neigh
borhood Of 35 cents. Even roads the
way and structures Of which call for
immediate repair will postpone the gen.
eral resumption Of that work until after
July /. Similarly shopmen will not be
reemployed In great number until the
surplus of idle freight cars. now more
than 100000. shows definite signs
of dwindling to a point at which bad
order equipment must be restored to
service to meet traffic requirements.

American Tobacco.

Strength in American Tobacco issues
yesterday was caused to some extent by
persistent runors that the company was
planning to cut a melon. notwithstand-
ing statements from official quarters that
no such plan was under consideration.
Among many rumors about tobacco
stocks in circulation yesterday was the
report that American Tobacco. Retail
Stores or one OF the other Whalen prop
critics was planning to buy an interest
in American Sumatra Tobacco. That
report met prompt and emphatic Off
cial denial.

nnsl wngc Cuts 70 Ne Prompt.

No great alarm was aroused in rail-
way quarters over the announcement by
union leaders of their intention to appeal
TO Federal courts for review of the
United States Railroad Labor Boards
approaching wage decision. The car
riers intend TO put the reductions
promptly into effect on July ] without
waiting for the outcome OF any legal
action that labor chiefs may take. 1t IS
unlikely. in the opinion of railway ofii-
cials, that tho unions will be ablo to
obtain court order postponing tho re-
ductions until a legal review shall have
been completed.

Arc Traffic Gains Permanent

Executives of Southern coal roads are
wondering whether or not to expect con-
tinuance Of the squirt IN the traffic Of the
last few weeks. The Improvement has
been shared by carriers running into
Hampton Roads, including the Virginian
Railway, Norfolk and Western and the
Chesapeake and Ohio. and Is attributed
mainly to the increased movement of
