Ike Jones Makes
Farming Pay
That there i,' niom*j in farm
mg. as well . hard work, will
be seen from tin experience ol
ike Jones, a nan who has bet '
.'arming lot- llj yars in Uarroll
county, Miss. Light at the
present time, while most farm,
ers are experiencing diiiieulty
jii unking i• i.i;i muls meet. M
.loses sent in town 12 wagon
loads of home-grown produce
and received f 1.2ml, Some of
the cotton he ent did not sell.
An editorial commenting on
Mr. Julies l esourcetulneas was
published in the Gazette Sun
uuy, ami included a letter Mr.
Jones sent to his son in Green
ville just baton he sent his
wagon-train to town. Follow
ing is the letter which is self
explanitory :
“Dear Son—Every man you
see is preaching hard times and
no money. Claim the banks
will not finance them to grow
cotton, and they can't do any
thing but go deeper in debt
all the time, and the country is
ruined unless someone comes
to the assistance of the farm
er. The truth about the thing
as I see it, is the average man
of Mississippi is to lazy to
work. He preaches hard times,
high taxes, too many good
roads, bond issues for consoli
dated schools and abuses the
development of the country in
general. Ll the poor ‘devils’
would stop all this rotten talk
and go to work the country
would soon be back to normal,
as we have the finest country
in the world hen* in central
Mississippi.
“1 am a little short of ready
cash, so 1 am going to get you
to place some of my surplus
farm products with some of
your Delta farmers who need
such as 1 have, and engage the
other produce with the board
ing houses and hotels.
“As soon as the weather
clears up and the gloomy spell
changes to sunshine 1 will send
you 12 wagon loads.
“One wagon load of ehick
enns and eggs from your
mother's yard of 500.
“One waon load of cabbage,
potatoes and other vegetables.
“One wagon load of No. 1
ear corn.
“One wagon load choice
baled hay.
“One wagon load clean,
sound cowpeas.
“One wagon load of one-gal
lon cans of Louisianna molasses
“One wagon load of one
gallon cans of sorghum mol
1 asses.
“One waon lo.-.d of fat beef
cattle.
“One wagon load fat pork
ers, home-cured and breakfast
bacon; one ham 12 pounds.
“Three wagon loads of cot
ton to be dispoosed of at mark,
-■t price.
“Seven of these wagons will
lie drawn by 11 home-raised
mules.
“Son your old dad has been
.arming for 1G years, and in a!!
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, goto work and
-top preaching hard times pet
ty politics and such rot, put
their shoulders to the wheel
Mid all pull together for the
good of themselves, their fel
! low man and the country in
general, what a grand old state
; Mississippi would be.
“Let me know when you get
my produce engaged and 1 will
send it to you. Your dad,
“Ike Jones.”
Ike Jones of Black Hawk,
Carroll county, Miss., is not a
| “book farmer." He is a “dirt
farmer.” But he uses the
methods that agricultural
[teachers and leaders are con
; stalltly urging. He has been
farming for 4G years and the
one crop system has never been
used on his farm. At the
; same time other farmers in
! Mississippi find themselves
haitl pressed for money Ike
I Jones turns home-grown pro
duce into $1,200 cash.
Wouldn’t it be a grand and
glorious felling to wake up
some morning and start down
town and find that the Grand
Wizard issued a few sharp hoes
and had the Ku Klux cut the
weeds along the sidewalks in
Newark.
Our idea of the patriotic
merchant is the fellow who
never ran a three line ad in his
lift' and comes around and
wants us to raiseII with the
mail order houses. This fel
low is so well known that he

daily says “Advance in British

tunately none of this paper’s
subscribers live over there and
the said advance probably will
not reach the subscription

never get anywhere.—Memphis

RRING LONDON HOME
People of Newark Will See
Sights of London
—
More Americans went abroad
during the two years that
the United States had a few
fingers in the World War pie
than in all the years put to
gether since the Pilgrims land
ed on our fair shores. Among
those millions were many
thousands of young men, wear
ing khaki or navy blue and
sonic of them from Newark
! tramped the soil of England,
and came home to spin yarns
to the homefolks and compare
'over here” with “over here.”
Bryant Washburn has gone
those boys one better. He has
brought London to your home
town, lie has used the world’s
hugest city, with its historical
buildings, its busy streets, its
flowering suburbs and its beau
tiful Thames River as a back
ground for a high-speed, high
geared romantic adventure,
in which a dashing young
American sets the pace for
stolid British nobility when he
kidnaps and elopes with the
daughter of the house.
Of such delightfully beauti
ful pic torn 1 stuff is ‘‘The Road
To London” made. It is Bry
ant Washburn’s first independ.
ent production, and the Royal
1 heatre has eagerly awaited
this opportunity to announce
"lhe Road to Londn” and
Bryant Washburn as the fea
ture attraction for next Friday.
TO BUILD STORM SEWERS
Newport, June 13. — The
Bowman Engineering Company
is making a survey at the re
quest of the city council to
map out a storm sewer system

°i the city the streets become

outlet not being sufficient to
c arry off the surplus water. It
is thought the survey will be
completed in two weeks and a
contract let for the work.
