After the truckingprob3Htjen
was disposed of, Mr. A+cNt1lianfs
and Mr.. Furgerson, dairyman
Of Forrest County, spoke on~the
subject of dairying. Mr.. Nc
Williams, who operates a cream
cry at Hattiesburg, cited many
reasons why a few good dairy
COWS should be kept on every
farm and told how the Wall
street bankers and financiers
valued the dairy COW as a
wealth producer in the United
States.
Mr.. Ferguson spoke brio fv
on the Importance of good p;
ures, bulls and equipment.
also explained why cream t.
vary from day to day e
though the same feed is I
and the same care taken V

At the conclusion of Ic
meeting, Mr.. (Wrenn, tri-counJy
agent, spoke for a brief period,
explaining how he had managed.
through the influence Of the

in Harrison county, to win the
recent election held N that
county to determine whether or
not a county agent was to be put
on fer full time. The election
carried by a large MAJ jOrity. Mr..
Wrenn assured those present
that if the farmers and business
men of Stone County would CO.
operate with him in his cam
paign to secure an all-jime coun-
ty agent that he was sure
only a short time would elapse
before such an agent would be
put OH in this county.

look very promising, DuC Cne
main object of this patch is to
raise enough plants to set out
about 800 acres this fall, this
acreage to be made up of several
farmers in the community. The
prospects are that several car
loads of berries will be Shipped
out of Gulfport next Spring and
as Mr.. Taylor stated, if this pro-
ject proved to be a success he
didn't doubt at all that it would
probably encourage farmers in
other sections along the line to
go into the strawberry industry
which seems to be a very prof
liable crop in most all sections
where they are grown.
after leaving the strawber-
ry farm, Mr.. Graham decided
that few good points along the
poultry business would be Of
some benefit to us, so he carried
US out to a poultry farm located
near Biloxi and owned by Mr..
Russell, who has several years
experience with poultry, and is
thoroughly up on the business,
which we soon realized from the
looks of the chickens and the
way they are cared for. He
has 1900 White Leghorns, also
some Plymouth Rocks, but he
prefers the Leghorns. Mr.. Rus
sell doesn't believe in 'loafers, +"
that is, hens that doesn't lay
200 eggs or more q year, be-
cause, as he says, they are not
profitable. Mr.. Russell has his
breeding stock in a pen separate
from the balance. These hens
have been picked out Of the en-
tire flock all with high record
of egg production, some of them
laying as many as 800 eggs
year. This Mr.. Russell has ac-
complished by continuous
watching and culling cut all in
ferior hens that doesn't prove
to Go their duty. Mr.. Russell
also has some pullets three
months old that are laying. He
has several incubators, ore with
. capacity Of 500 eggs and was
going to get a 1900 capacity one
for next year. He said further
that he was going to load these
incubators up with eggs that
will hatch nothing but pullets,
that he had some ways to de-
ternline whether an egg would
hatch a pullet or a cockerel. |
do not doubt that Mr.. Russel!
knows what he is talking about
but l want to go back to his
place next Spring to see more
about it. It was getting late IN
the evening and we had q long
way to travel, so we were COM
pelled to leave. Mr.. Russell said
ne was sorry we had to leave so
quick as he had a whole lot more
to tell us about poultry. | think
we stayed with him a hour and
a half. i
$50 on we went, homeward
bound. We made it back to
Virgins about 8 o'clock, all pro-
nuoncing it a fine trip and that
the day had been we'll spent and
may prove to be Of great benefit
to all of U.s."

FARMERS ENJOY
TRIP TO COAST
See Swans Nursery Near Ly-
man; Strawberry Farm
and Poultry Farm

given by a member OF party
making the trip, led by E. M.
Graham, agriculturist for the
G. & S. l. r. R. Company:
A trip to the coast full Of
pleasure and beautiful sights,
as well as very interesting, was
enjoyed by four Stone County
farmers, J. F. Walsmith, J. L.
Bond, T. L. Bond and G. V.
Madsen, accompanied by e. M.
Graham, former agent for this
county but now with the G. &
S. l. R. r. Company.
Mr.. Graham, who is well
known in. this section, is very
much interested in the develop
ment of the agricultural indus
try all along the railroad and es-
pecially so in this community
where he is making his home,
and where he has made many
friends. Mr.. Grailam's aim for
this trip was mainly to show us
what other farmers are doing
that we might be benefited by
their experience, and | am very
much convinced that we are,
and through these columns |
shall try to pass on what we
have seen.
We left Virgins Friday morn
ing about 10 o'clock, and made
our first stop at Mr.. Swans
farm, three miles east of Lyman.
Mr.. Swan seemed to take a
great interest in showing US
over his magnificent grove OF
orange trees, grapefruit, lemons,
pecans and peaches, all thrifty
and healthy looking trees, but
what mostly impressed us was
the satsuma orange grove which
covers about 90 acres, all I'M
proved trees loaded with fruit,
although only three years old.
This may be accounted for by
the good care Mr.. Swan is giving
his trees. He sprays his trees
several times each year in
spite of the fact they are almost
free of any disease. He also
fertilizes his trees three times
with fertilizer of different analy-
sis. The first two applications
are high in nitrogen and phos-
phate in order to develop new
wood and fruit. The last appli-
cation is high potash which, Mr..
Swan says, tends to harden the
seasons growth that it may
stand a low temperature this
the comming winter.
"Mr. Swan says he is not
growing these trees for beauty's
sake alone but expects to make
money from them and according
to his figures he will have about
S10,OOO.OO worth of satsumas
this fall.
We left this wonderful
place with the impression that
an orange grove, even on a
smaller scale, well taken care of,
not only is very pretty but also
a good investment, and as Mr..
Swan said, the danger from
winter killing them can be elm
mated greatly by using the
proper kind of fertilizer.
"Mr. Graham then suggested
that we drive to Gulfport for
dinner. We all seconded the
motion, so on we went at full
speed. After enjoying good
dinner we went to the office of
the G. & S. I. R. R. Co., where
we had the pleasure of meeting
Mr.. Taylor, immigration agent
for the railroad company. Mr..
Taylor, like Mr.. Graham, is very
much interested in the develop
ment of the agricultural indus
try along this railroad and to
partly prove this, he carried us
out to the strawberry farm
which is capitalized and opera
ted by the railroad company.
About thirty acres were planted
in berries last Spring and they
