„ WHAT A PARMER CAN DO.
Carroll County Man Demonstrates j
Advantages of Dcversifled System. ]
The Commercial Appeal of Sun
day contained a picture of a train
of wagons belonging to a Carroll
county, Miss., farmer, and had the
following to say of him:
Asa demonstration of what the
fanner can do with a diversified
system of farming. Ike Jones sent
14 wagon loads of various produce
from his farm in Carroll County,
near Black Hawk, to Greenwood,
Miss.
The produce was sold soon after'
it was offered in the city and
brought between $l,lOO and $1,200,
not including some of the- cotton
which was held for a slightly bet
ter price than was offered.
Mr. Jones says that all the pro
duce was raised on his place, that
he doesn’t owe a nickel to the
wholesalers or the banks, and that
what he has done with diversiflea
tion can be done by any other far
• mor in the hills or in the delta. ,
In the train load of wagons, each
wagon being drawn bv stock, raised
on Mr. Jones’ place, there were
the following:
One wagon load of chickens and
eggs, vegetables, corn, cornfed hogs,
home raised beef, baled hay; twr
wagon loads of peas, cotton and
peanuts; three wagon loads of cot
ton, and one wagon each of Louisi
ana molasses and sorghum syrup.
Just what Mr, Jones is doing b
best told in the following letter to
his son at Greenwood, written a
few days before he sent the wagon
train over:
Dear son—Every man you see is
preaching hard times and no money
Claim the banks will not financi
them to grow cotton, and they can’t
do anything but go deeper in debt
all the time, and the country b
ruined unless someone comes to the
assistance of the farmer. Tin
truth about the whole thing, as 1
see it, the average man of Missis
sippi is too lazy to work. Preach
hard times, high taxes, too many
good roads, bond issues for consoli
dated schools and abuses the de
velopment of the country in gener
al. If the poor “devils” would go to
work and stop all this rotten-talk
the country would soon be back tc
normal. As we have the finest
coantty in the world here in Cen
tral Mississippi.
I am a little short of ready cash,
so am going to get you to place
some of my surplus farm product*
with some of your delta farmer
who need such as I have, and en
gage the other produce with tin
boarding houses and hotels.
As soon as the weather clears up
and the gloomy spell changes to
sunshine I will send you twelve
wagon loads.
One wagon load of chickens and
eggs from your mother’s yard oi
One wagon load of cabbage, pota
toes and other vegetables.
One wagon load No. 1 ear corn.
One wagon load choice baled
hay.
One wagon load clean, sound cow
peas.
One wagon load of one-gal. cans
of Louisiana molasses. .
One wagon load of one-gal. cans
of sorghum molasses.
One wagon load of fat beef cattle,
home-cured and breakfact bacon;
One wagon load of fat porkers,
one ham 42 pounds.
Three wagon loads of cotton to be
disposed of at market price.
Seven of these wagons will be
Trawn bv 1 1 home-raised mules.
Son, your • Id dad has been firm
ing for 46 years, and in all this
time the one-crop system has never
been started on my farm. I have
plenty of corn, three-year-old hay.
four-year-old syrup, five-year-old
bacon, two-year-old cotton, which is
a side issue, and have never made a
crop failure or begged for bread.
If the farmers of Mississippi
would wake up, go to work and stop
preaching hard times, petty politics
and such rot, put their shoulders
to the wheel and all pull together
for the good of themselves, their
fellow-man and the country in gen
eral, what a grand old state Missis
sippi would bet
Let me know when you get my
produce engaged and I will send it
to you. Your dad,
IKE JONES.
FROM~*lf AN WHOKNOWS.
SPEAKING before a convention of
newspaper men not long ago
Hon. A. P. Sandies, for years of the
Ohio State Fair Association, said; v
“The country editor has never
made a million dollars. Asa rule
he makes more donations to the
community than any other half
dozen folks. A town is always on
the map if it has a real, live weekly
paper to make a noise, advertise its
merchants, and make people think.
The rural paper is a power that is
recognized by the political boss
more than it is recognized by the
home folks or even the home mer
chant. The, clubs, the lodges and
social events all want space in the
home paper whether the subscrip
tion price is paid up or not. The
profit in a country papei* is often
the money that is Credited .on the
hooks of the editors and never col
lected. The good editor is so busy
getting out bis paper and doing his
•work that he does not have time to
.collect Everybody ought to take
the home paper, so they will have
a place for their funeral notice and
so they will be sure of getting one
their folks won’t be ashamed of.
•Oo around and subscribe now—-and
pay for it in advance,"
