A Government Outrage
Mississippi.
A
former * 1**’ *
teacher bought a little uoru-out
farm oi thirty odd acres near York
Pennsylvania a few years ago,
planted twelve acres of peaches ai <1
trucked the rest.
In 1907 he
markete I $1,800 worth of peaches;
1908 $2,200 worth, and 1909 about
$2,000 worth, besides many hun
dreds of dollars* worth of truck.
Another raised a family of eleven
children to manhood and woman
hood, and never reared less tlun
$1,000 in any one of the last 15
years —and lie had but eleven acres.
He grew vegetables, asparagus an I
berries. Hundreds of cases might
l>e found where worn-out Eastern
farms, cultivated with money and
brains, easily yield two to three
hundred dollars per acre.” This is
a complete answer to many of those
vho cannot see where some ot
those who have lately purchased
small tracts of land in this county
will gel off. These people are all
farmers, gardeners anti fruit grower:;
and have learned to grow two blades
of grass where one grew before king
prior to the time they came here.
They have the push, skill anti
knowledge, and will build on their
small holdings fortunes where no
few of the old timers went to the
wall because they became "land
poor."
The latter went into pur
chasing land and produced not
enough to pay the taxes upon it and
the sheriff took it to satisfy mort
gages and pay taxes
The sheriff
has not seized a single farm in thi-
county since it was organized, it
can be safely said, where the farmei
did not buy more than he could
manage or where he neglected and
failed to faun properly what he
had There is n » doubt about the
productiveness of the soil and the
climate is ideal to promote good
crops; but farming is like anything
else. To succeed in anything we
undertake we must first know some
thing about it, we must have
knowledge of our capacity and «»•
must have energy to make the mate
go in more senses than one. Other
wise we fail, as did others before us
