Firstraters Will Survive?John W.: ' McGrath Tells Hew Delta Me* V Boll Weevil. i This' article," written by John W.! McGrath. one of the bigcest busi-! hess men in the southern half of Mis- j sissippi, should be of the keenest in-; terest to business and professional I jnen and farmers throughout the I South.. While it deals largely with boll "weevil- ^?t<5ry, yet it is full of sound philosophy and agricultural advice and tit's everywhere. "In order to make this article as ?.i.:-r 1,~ ,,.U^ ,,o lhiui aa pwoiuiv; su uictt uc nnu iuu? may read, I have decided to treat the boll weevil subject under three heads: The anticipation, the coming and effect, the remedy. "The first great mistake made by o.ur farmers and business men was their indifference to the gravity of the situation. Even vhen the boll weevil reached the Mississippi river, which is 72 miles west of Brookhaven, and later on when it was reported on this aide of the river, every one was going along t at the same old gait; planting cotton and some corn, raising big crops of cotton and scndi iug the greater portion of the proceeds North to pay for provisions and grain. - Taken for Granted. > "None of us realized the great .1 ixt? ;* f HCSS.UI WJC UUIlgci. nc n iuukiic << would treat us like all the- other cotton pests which we had so successfully combated, reduce our yield for two or three years and then pass on to other fields. I had been in busi-i ness here for 30 years. I had never j seen a complete failure in all that { time. Forty per cent, of a cotton j cfop-was our lowest record.

Just 10 per cent, of a full crop was all that we could harvest at the end of three years. The drop was rapid after 1909. That year we made about 17,000 bales of cotl ton; in the year 1910 shout 6,500 bales; and then the most complete failure. The farmers did not begin to get demoralized, nor the merchants alarmed until the early part of 1910. Th?n fpar took nossession of aU of us. We decided to try new crops and selected peanuts as, what we call, a money crop and made a failure. The merchants distributed 11 carloads of peanut seed and shipped away that fall only 1*> carloads of peanuts. Thank CJod, we got our seed back! The next year we tried syrup, sorghum principally, and some ribbon cane. We installed a canning factory and shipped our product to Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois. We gained quite a reputation there for the best grade of sorghum, but being an absolutely pure grade, a quantity of it fermented and was a total loss. $ he factory failed in consequence and the growing of syrup as a money crop was a decided fai?jb. 9 Much Experimenting. "In the meantime the negroes wen? moving north to the delta; labor was getting scarce; and the supply merchants and bankers were setting tired. The strain on the financial strength of all was great. The farmers were trying to raise a little cotton all this time, but were devoting most of their acreages lo cow ?

' All the time, however, there was one class of demonstrators who were continuously at work?the dairy division of both the State Agricultural college and the United States government. A dairy association was form ed in the year 1913. At the lirst meeting there were just nine persons present?the two demonstrators, seven farmers and myself.
