Mississippians Interested
in Reclamation

New Orleans, La, Oct. lS.-Cit-
izens of Mississippi and OF every

ence to be held in New orleans
November 10 to %, under auspices
of the Southern Pine Association,
Mississippi and Florida Develop
ment Boards and New Orleans AS
ISOLATION of Commerce.
One of the important purposes OF
the conference is to CONSIDER anu
devise ways and means for putting
into use the vast areas OF cut over
swamp and overflowed lands IN ehe
South. so they may become producers
If revenue and afford farm homes
for desirable settlers instead OIL
being an economic burden to their
communities and state.
At the New Orleans conference
il is hoped to crystalize the senti-
ment of the Southern people re-
garding the important subjects EN-
braced in the title and to arrange
for the machinery necessary 10
carry out the decisions OF those VINO
ravoted much time, thought and ell

Among the announced purposes OF
the Conference are to effect CO.
ordination of all interests working
for the same purpose; to induce the
federal government to set forth ana
adopt definite plan for land re-

be worked out through cooperation
of private interests, state and led

FARM NOTES


The Station has just completed
tests with twenty varieties OF corn
planted early and late and as re-
suit of these tests would like to en-
phasize the Importance of early
planting in the growing of corn In
South Mississippi The early and
late paintings were made on land
Of about the same degree of fertil-
lied and both were fortified with
the same quantity Of commercial
fertilizer per acre.
The early paintings were made
April and yielding an average Of
61.6 bushels per acre, the highest
yielding variety being $50 and the
lowest 53.1 bushels per acre. The
late planted corn was planted June
/. after a crop Of bur clover, ana
as stated on land fully as good as
that used for the early planting.
The seasons for both early and late
paintings were ideal, the rams
continued until after the late 70 n
had matured For time it looked
as if the corn planted late would
Weld more than that planted early,
rs it grew very rapidly and made
stalks much larger than the earlier
planting. But, as usually, .nse :
pests were much worse on the late
corn while fungus diseases attacked
il. late in the season so badly that
the foliage was destroyed prema-
turely. AS result of this the
Yields were greatly reduced and
the quality of the corn affected
even more severely. The average
81 the varieties planted late was
only 28.7 bushels per acre, 81
bushels being the highest and al
bushels per acre the lowest.
! Practically all the early corn was
of good quality, the ears being well
filled, the cobs relatively small and
the grains fully developed The
quality OF the late corn was very
Apoof, the grains having failed tc
properly develop as result OF the
premature drying of foliage
/ This has generally been our ex-
perience with early and late corn
in Pearl River County and we thlnk
it generally true over South Missls-
siDpi as whole. Therefore VIC
should make every effort here e
plant our corn as early as possible
in the spring and if we must utiilzs
land for late crops, plant other ones
than corn. Sorghum is the best SUD
stitute for corn as slllage crop
while soy beans will give lafge'
Yields of better quality OF staif
or farage.
Ten-ear samples of each variety
Of the corn planted early were
selected as the corn was being d'Viae'
into first, second and third grade
and were exhibited at TN

he ariff is the
Bunk Says Editor

Practically all the leading agricul-
tiIral Journals of the United States
are condemning the fordney-Mc-
Cumber profiteers' traiff and holding
it responsible for many OF the dif-
ficulties which are now besettlng
the farmer. The principal farm or
CARNATIONS are taking the same
ground. Senator Capper's publica-
tions, which he is using to prevent
his defeat by the farmers of Kansas
next year, are among the few ex-
ceptions to the rule.
George Martin, editor of Farm and
Fireside, one of the most influential
of the agricultural publications in
this country, has recently written an
article entitled "The Traiff is the
Bunk" in which he declars that the
Fordney- McCumber law is costing
america farmers 1901 100000 more in
higher costs for what they have
to buy than it gives them in the
way of higher prices for what
they have to sell.
practically every time you or
your wife, or your son or your
daughter buy something you can
trace part of the unnecessary cost
of it to the tariff" says Mr.. Mar
ton, addressing the thousands of
farmers who read his editorials.
Americas agriculture is rapidly
revising it's tariff policy. Farmers
are making up their minds that the
best tariff for agriculture is no
tariff at ALL"
The effect of the protection given
to special interests and big trusts and
combines is felt in the prices which
the farmers are compelled to pay for
the commodies they and their fami-
lies consume but don't produce.
'The American farmer pays every
year an extra s426,0O0,0OO on the
things he buys because of the tariff"
says Mr. Martin. So he is really
out of his pocket S3O1 900, 0OO-a actual,
hard, 69-cent farm dollars-by
reason of the tariff which Fordney,
McCo,nber at al, said would help
him so much
