r MING, PAST
AND z Z L S z n I

Time was when the farming
business was a matter OF wheat
and corn. hogs and cattle, cotton
end cane. In those early days
there was very little of what is
now known as scientific farming.
The earth was fertile, and pro-
duced abundantly Without teas
ing it with fertilizers. The col
leoes devoted their time and at
tention to tbs study Of the dead
nguages," and gave never q
thought to the problems of the
faEmer, to potash md phosphates
as crop stimulants. I'm fact, there
was quite a lively prejudice
against book farmin'," and the
/ rn9er who followed the books
too closely was rather looked
down upon by the real dirt farm
els. But ther5, weren't many OF
him to feel aggrieved. The farm
er'q garden was more of "a joke
than anything else. 1t was q
place where a riotous growth OF
weeds contended for mastery
with q sickly assortment of a few
cabtages, collards and turnips.
It may have started bravely in
the early spring, but when the
summers work came on, with its
demands for all the owners time
to save and harvest the crops,
WI on the days were all too short
for the work that had to be done,
then the farm garden got but
scant attention and was turned
over to the weeds. The farm gar
dens in those days contributed
very little to the farm table. OF
course there We're exceptions, but
that was the general rule.
There has been a great change
in this regard in recent years.
Agricultural colleges have been
established to teach the old farm
ers who were born in the business
and had followed it all their lives
its first principles. Soils anaiyz-
ed. and fertilizers are compound
ed to supply the missing elements
of fertility. The prejudice
agsinst he scientific farmers had
to give way before the results
which they obtained. The boys
proved their value to their dads.
The whole scheme of farming
was changed. No longer was it
confined to the raising cf few
stable crons. such L es their fathers
he'd alwavs raised They branch.

MARL AND LIMESTONE
DEPOSITS ARE FOUND
IN RANKIN COUNTY

In a recent bulletin, Road
Making Materials Of Miss, pub
lished by the Miss. State Geo
logical Survey, of which E. n.
Lowe is director. Rankin County
is quoted as having two lime
bearing formations which. cross
from east to west. The Vicksburg
limestone and the jackson clay
marls occupv the hillsides and in
the courses of the larger streams:
Both the limestone and the mari
may be used for agricultural pur-
poses, but the limestone should
be crushed before applying. The
mari may be used as it comes
from the quarry.
Why not develop home industry
instead of natroniZing foreign
markets for our every need? All
of the soil enriching foods are
shipped into this territory from
other sections, in most cases,
from other states. Thel gravel
with which the roads in this
county will be built will be ship
ped from elsewhere. This is not
necessary. Let's get busy and
develop our own industries, and
be INDEPENDENT. It can be
done.

COUNTY AGENTS NOTES

The farmers Of the southern
part of the county-in the Star
and Florence communities-are
in the midst of the marketing
season of their truck crops and
up to the present are highly
pleased with returns. At Star
they have shipped out the second
car load OF Irish potatoes, tor
which they have received fairly
good returns, however the output
OF this crop has not been very
heavy at the same time it, IS
bringing in some cash at a dull
season Of the year and they are
not at all discouraged over the
outlook for the future. At
Florence. up to the 9th, they had
placed twelve cars of tomatoes,
besides several cars of cabbage
and beans shipped earlier; the
first car of tomatoes consisting
of around eleven hundred crates,
brought returns of more than
twenty-five hundred dollars; an
other car shipped little later
the check for which / had the
pleasure of seeihg-called for
seventeen hundred eighty-4Ive
dollars. At that time they figured!
thev were about one half through
selling: if the remainder of the
crop sells for anything like an
: arape price, the twenty TO
twenty-five cars will bring to the
farmers of the community more
than thirty thousand dollars TOR
the .omato crop alone; the cash
will be in hand at the dull season
of the year and many acres Will
grow a late crop of corn, peas,
| notgEoes atad other crops. One
farmer of this community who
has two and Ione-ha1f acres OF
ordinary hill land in tomatoes
| had gathered 466 crates and con-
sidered hat he was half through !;
his price will average at least
Sl.OO per crate or 100000 on the
2 l-2 acres. He expects to plant
this land la late corn to pay Tor
the fertilizer used in the spring.
! Tn this connection | want to say
that the railroads are giving
every cooperation possible to
handle the crops In systematleI I
and business like way to the besl
/ interests Of the growers. we
| have read of the trucking inter
ests of Copiah County and their
heavy shipments of tomatoes, but
m93nv people of this county viii
iba pleased to know that we are
i ENJOYING the profits together

MOVEMENT ON FOOT
FOR AN ALL NIGHT
STREET LIGHT SERVICE

A movement is on foot leading
o al all night street light serv-
ice for the town of Brandon. 1t
ia one of the best forward moves
nade IN some time and deserves
sna support of every man and
woman who has the welfare Of
Brandon at heart.
In weeks time there are
dozens of automobiles that pass
through this city after 10 o'clock
at night. Sometimes the occu-
pants of these cars are strangers
and it is hard for them to find
tho rosd which leads to their
destination.
Brandon is ON the line of one
of the great highways ard there
are many strangers that pass
through our gates each day and
night. Civic pride and courtesy
dictates the treatment we should
accord them.
Also it might be stated that
our sidewalks are none too wide,
and on dark night it is ex-
ceedingly difficult, not to say dan
gerous. to negotiate the distance
to our respective homes.
The cost should not be pro-
hibitive. and lights would add
wonderfully to the appearance of
he town.
