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

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. Why!

any metre than its predecessors? We;
would fight it out on the old lines, j
We would just trim our sails a little
and fight our way through the storm. J
Alas! how many dollars would j
have been saved, and how much suf- j
fering spared,-and what a long up-!
hill struggle would have been avoid- >

seen with our own eyes the ravages
cf the weevil and then adopted the
proper means of fighting the oncoming
evil. But we just waited and we
paid the penalty that always follows
apathy.

ceipts at Brookhaven were 31,00G
bales; in 1911 they were reduced tc
3,100 bales. 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

cattle and hogs, and experimenting
with 'money crops.'
' 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. But we
