TUPELO, (MISSISSIPPI) CAME BACK An Arkansas newspaper tells a most interesting story as to how Tupelo came back after a period of depression and hard times. The experience of Tu pelo is in common with other sections of the cotton belt, but the grit and nerve shown by the people of i that community is convincing that every other com munity which has been infested with the boll weevil and unseasonable weather can "come back” and more than make good. Here is what is said of the Mississippi town: ‘fin 1916 we lost our entire cotton crop and had no corn. Wc realized that something must be done. We got the best county agent we could find and reversed the order of things. We preached diversification. We secured a home demonstration agent, we bought bulls and in sisted on the farmefs buying cows. We adopted as a program for safe and sane farming the fol lowing: “Poultry on every farm. “Brood sows on every farm. “Home garden on every farm. “From three to ton dairy cows on every farm. “Cribs full of com. | •» erntm “Bams full of hay. “Potato houses full of potatoes. "Smoke houses full of meat. “More cotton on Jes3 acres.- P “At the close of December, 1914, deposits in the banks of Tupelo amounted to $1)181,000. Deposits at the close of December, 1922, were $3,720,000, gain of more than two and a half million dollars.” p , “The following is an approximate value of the crops raised' in Lee county, of which Tupelo is the county seat, for the year 1922. . WiS “Cqtton, 15,500 bales, at 23 cents, $1,782,500. - \ • “Dairy products, averaging about $10,000 a ^, week, $500,000. S5; "Poultry and eggs, 800,000. ', gt-r “Cattle.sold, including milk cows, $150,000. Z "Com $112,000. . ■ “Hdgs, $73,000. -v. ' "Total, $3,420,000. “The above figures do not take into consid eration the value of any of the products con- i sunied on the farms. A big portion of the land in the county is good, heavy lime land. The county is a veritable network of small creeks _ a!! : of which have been drained by draining p| ditches and much of the land tiled. The/peo- ple' live on hills in attractive, welt painted homes and work the lands in creek bottoms. The hills furnish sufficient range and pastures for poultry and cattle. “One man who lives near Tupelo has already sold $500 worth of watermelons from three aefes and it is estimated that he will make $800 this year from his melon Crop on the three acres. E 1 ® “Th.e people practice thrift, live at home to a largo extent and bankers say that 60 per cent of thb deposits are in the savings accounts. .‘,Tn addition to all this Tupelo went after cotton mills and got them. . > . i “Tupelo has come back. .> If: Tupelo can recuperate from the condition, which It faced a few years ago, other sections cad. Depressions come periodically to all sections of the .Tuition, but determination and will power on the part~of the citizens can overcome these drawbacks and a bigger and better city can be built from the ruins caused by the ravages of the boll weevil pest. This section has suffered a great deal during the past three years, but a brighter day has come and our people are revived and determined to build from; the washed surroundings better crops, more poultry, hogs and cattle hnd foodstuff than ever before. It can be done and it will be done and an prosnerity will be created which will sweep throughout the boll weevil ridden section of the coun try and restore normal and healthy conditons. | TRADE EXCURSIONS FOR ATHENS From time immemorial the railroads have offered Teditoed rates during the summer months to the sea f-hores and .to the mountains. Evidently it has proved paying proposition to the railroads or else they would not have continued the practice for these vrntij years. If it is a profitable business for sum mer .time why would it not be profitable to run niiilP excursions during the fall and winter months? Athens trade territory reaches a radius of practical ly one hundred miles. Reduced raterf on the five railroads entering this city would bring large num bers of people here for their trading who otherwise tram in near-by towns. The bargains and low prices offered by our merchants are an inducement to the people to come, thereby profiting the ratlro&d in their venture of co-operation with the merchants and business men of Athens. v If these trade excursions prove successful from a passenger standpoint, certainly they will prove pro fitable from a freight standpoint. Increased sales to the parties patronizing the trade excursions mean increased freight and with the two agencies operat ing the business of the various roads will be greatly increased. ,• r The Chamber of Commerce could aid the mer chants and business,men' no little by taking up the proposition of conducting: trade excursions into Ath ens every week. It is believed that the officials of the roads will look favorably upon the project and if properly presented to them they will co-operate to the fullest in inaugurating trade excursions weeks ' from all points in this section of the state to Athens. | Griffin, secretary; Mark Cauble, {Atlanta, Iiistc,ian.
