Northeast Mississippi a Great
Community
ThePrairie or "Black Belt"
lands of Northeast Mississippi
are equal in their productive
energy to any lands in the
United States. In many crops
it is superior to the famous
Delta Lands of the Mississippi
Valley. This is a strong state
ment, but facts nevertheless. A
ride on the lines of the M. & O.
Railroad from West Point to Tu
pelo , will convince the most
skeptical. The country is level,
so, all. modern farm machinery
can bejsed to advantage. There
is very little overflow land, yt
the whole territory is well
watered by creeks and springs.
Through this productive terri
tory flows the headwater of the
Tombigbee river, which stream
is the natural drainage, the
Water-sheds between the Tom
bigbee and the Mississippi Rivers
being farther west. This part
of . the state is . famous for its
great crops of Alfalfa, cutting
five and six props a year. But
all other . grasses grow to their
highest perfection. It is also
a great corn section and it
would be hard to name a crop of
any kind . that ' the Prairie of
Northeast Mississippi does not
produce in their, highest efficien
cy. , Cotton is also a good crop,
perhaps the , Delta is more pro
lific in thfo but the Prairie lands
will run it a close second. The
soil is naturally rich, with plen
ty of lime t arid ..essential sub
Btance that is not found in; other
parts of the . state. Thpre are
great v opportunities for the
farmer and stockman in the
Prairie Black Belt of Northeast
Mississippi. Gulfport Mi3sis-sippian.
