ITS NO TRICK AT ALL. Its easy enough to give growing accounts of any country, but quite a different thing to get Government experts to speak highly of it without something of worth to recommend it. Mr. M. A. Crosby writes: The lands of this east Mississippi country are similar to those in Ala,where to bave been conducting work for five years.’ In our work with alfalfa we netted sl7 an acre the first year from seed sown In March. The second year’s crop netted ssl an acre. We also found that land that had been in alfalfa two or three years doubled, and In some cases trebled the yield of corn, when broken up and planted to that cron. Personally I think that the lands of this section are as good an investmept as one could make.” Mr. Crosby has conducted experimental work for the Government in every state In the union excepting Arizona H. PULLIN, Agent, C. C. CLAY, Macon, Miss. Rensselaer, Indiana

And now comes Peary and claims the north pole is his, he having discovered it April 6, 1909. or about a year after Dr. Cook discovered it. The public is now demanding affidavits from each. The linotype operator made an error in the price of oats in Wednesday’s market report in The Democrat which was overlooked in the proof. It should have read 32 cents instead of 37 cents.
