Mctlrath, one nl the biggest business men in the southern halt' of Missis sippi, should be of tin keenest inter? est to every husiuess man. profession? al man ami farmer in the south. While it <hals L.rgely with Loll wee? vil history, yet it is so full of sound philosophy and agricultural advice I hit it flta everywhere. Mr. Mctliatli knows what he is talking about-lu? ll ?s been through "the tiro." "In order to make this art ich1 as brief as possible so that he who runs may read. 1 have decided to treat the boll Weevil subject under three heads: The Anticipation. The Coming and IZtl ret, the Kenn dy. "The Anticipation?The that great mistake made by out farmers and business men was their indifference to the gravity oi the situation. Even when the boll weevil reached tin Mississippi river which is 7- miles west of Hrookhaven and later on when ii was reported on this side of the river; everyone was going along at the same old gait; planting cotton and some corn; raising big crops of cotton and sending the greater por? tion of the proceeds north to pay for provisions und main. ?'None of us realized the greatness of the danger. Wo thought it would treat us like all the other cotton pests which we had .so sucessfully cone batted? reduce our yield for tw<? or three years and then pass on *?> other fields. 1 had been in business here for thirty years. 1 had never seen a complete failure In all that time. For? ty per cent of a cotton crop was our lowest record. Why then should we dread the boll weevil any more than its predecessors? We would light it out on the old lines. We would just trim our sails .1 little and light our way through the storm. Alas! hoy many dollars would have been saved* and how much suffer? ing spared; and what a long up hill ' strugglo would have been avoided, through the seven lean years that fol lowed, had we only taken the pre? caution to visit the devastated regions beyond the rive-. Had we only seen i u;,h our own eyes the ravages of the w.evil and then adopted the proper means of fighting the oncoming evil; bit we .nist waited and we paid the penalty thta always follows apathy. "The Coming and Kffects- in the' year lWis the compress receipts ] lirookhaven were 31,000 bales; in 1 1011 they wer?- reduced to 3.100 j hab s. Just ten p*?r dent of a full crop 1 was all that wo eouln harvest at tl^ end of ihrer years. The drop was rapid after 190??. Thai year we made about 1 T.oop bales of cotton; in Ilm year IP10 about ?..."mo hab s; ami I then the most complete failure. The farmers did not begin, to get demoi alixed, nor the merchants alarmed, until the early pan ot HMO. Then | fear took possession of all of us. We decided to try new crops; and se? lected peanuts ad what wc call a ! money crop, and nntd( a failure. The \ merchants distributed eleven f ar- ! loads of peanut seed and shipped iwttj that full only thirteen carloads , ?f peanuts. Thank God, we got our c? d back! The next year we tried syrup, sorghum principally, and some ribbon cane. Wc installed a canning factory and shipped our product to Wisconsin. Iowa, and Illinois. We gained quite a reputation there for Ihe last grade of sorghum, but being I in absolutely pure grade, a quantity! of if fermented and was a tot il loss. 1 The factory full <l in consequence ami the growing of syrup as a money crop ! was a de, ided failure. j "In the meantime, the negroes were ? moving north to the delta; labor whs getting scarce; ami the supph mer? chant and bankers were getting tired. The strain on the financial strength uf all was great. The farmers were j trying to raise a little cotton all this! lime, but were devoting most of their 1 acreage to cowpeas, potatoes, hay, ; the raising of cattle and hogs, and i experimenting with "money crops." "AH the time, however, there was one class of demonsttators who wer?* continuously at work?tin- dairy di? visions of both the State agricul? ture college and the I'nited States government. A dairy association was formed in the year 1913. At the lust meeting there were just nine per? sons piesent?the two demonstrators, Heven furmers '?nd myself.
