The grand jury adjourned Friday
after a session of eleven days, during
which time a vast amount of business
was transacted, forty-six indictments
being returned, three being for murder
In the first degree.
The following is their report:
To the Honorable Crimina Court of Lafay-
cite County, Mo-. and Hon. John E. Ryland,
Judge Thereof:
We, the grand jury, empanelled,
sworn and charged as such at the
October term, 1896, of said court, do
hereby respectfully report as follows:
We have completed the investigation
which we had personal knowledge and
return to the court III proceedings
thereof.
We visited the county offices and
found books and records very well kept.
We also visited the Jail and recon-
mend, as the previous grand jury did,
that a heavy wire or metal screen be
placed owe the bars to prevent persons
on outside from passing articles to
persons on the inside, and that a small
opening be made so that meals may be
handed In to prisoners without opening
the door.
We would also recommend that the
probate court room be newly painted
and re-papered, and that the upper
and lower court rooms be covered with
mating or linOleum.
We visited the poor farm, and would
recommend that there be q separate
building for the negro inmates and that
a new water closet be built.
Whereas, The grand jury has an in
timation that ''slot machines" in which
chance is an element, has been used i'll
the county. Such matter is referred to
the officers In order that they may
ascertain where any and SUCH machines
are used and arrest and prosecute all
persons using the same.
We also find, as did the former grand
jury, that justices of the peace in bind
ing over witnesses to await the action of
the grand jury bind ver a great num-
Der that are not material witnesses,
thereby putting the county to great
eYpepse, and recommend that more care
be 'taken in the future. u
. We desire to thank the officers of the
court and the county for theii courteous
and kind treatment, and especially Mr..
William Aull for his services to the
grand jury.
Respectfully submitted.

FOUR BALES AN ACRE.
The New Cotton Plant Said to fave Bee,.
Imported From Africa

importeu from africa.
Considerable interest Is being
aroused locally in the report of mar
velous new cotton plant which has ap.
peared in the south. Advices from At
lanta, Gu, relate that Charles Jack.
son, cotton planter, is in possession
of 20 bushels of cotton seed that, it is
predicted, will revolutionize the cot
ton growing industry of the world.
From these seeds. it Is claimed.
stalks attaining great height can be
grown that will yield from two to
four bales per acre ON the poorest sort
of land.
The quality of the product is said to
be remarkably good, and is as fine as
long staple cotton. The seed from
which the cotton is grown came from
Africa, so the dispatch says. While
in the very heart of that country a
wealthy American, travelling for
health and recreation, 1t is said, dis.
covered field of cotton plants, none
OF which was less than 20 feet in height.
A botanist, who accompanied the
party, cut from one of the tallest stalks
a section of about Is inches, and it
was from this stalk that the seed came.
While touring the south some years
later, so the dispatch relates, the Afri.
can traveller met Mr.. jackson and pre-
sented him with the seed. At the next
planting Mr. jackson determined upon
severe test of the seed, and planted
1t in the poorest land OF his farm. 1t
thrived beyond his most sanguine ex-
pectations, so the story goes, and so
great was The yield that other growers
in the neighborhood viewed the prod.
| uct with alarm.
Should this seed become generally
used, they reasoned. the cotton crop Of
the'south would SO increase that the in
Gustry would be ruined. So great be.
came this fear among the farmers
that n committee was appointed, it is
said, to wait on Mr.. jackson, purchase
the seed and destroy every vestige of
1t. simultaneously, it is stated the
New Orleans cotton exchange wired
Mr.. Jackson to set price of his hold
ings, requesting at the same time that
he send sample of the cotton stalk for

ence, so the dispatch says, the farm.
ers' committee offered Mr.. jackson
$4,000 spot cash. lie refused the offer,
it is said and holds out for higher
price.
1t is said that II such seed existed,
1t would certainly prove a benefit to
the southern cotton planters, and not
q detriment If 1t was possible to at.
tain such crops, the cotton acreage
could be correspondingly decreased,
and the land used for cultivating other

Intensive farming they support them
selves so well that they are rapidly
bringing their island to be q great
world power. In China the very
sweepings of the barber shops are
carefully saved to aid in fertiliza-
tion. Paris has no trouble like Chi
cago, with her garbage. 1t is sought
Tor as gold would be, and the three
acre farms of France pour out
as from horn of plenty, surplus OF
wheat to feed the furnishing millions
OF less thrifty countries. Where
population of 1000 to the square mile
use all the food for plant life that is
attainable the results instruct us that
we are simply wasting virgin re-
sources of untold capabilty for sup
plying demands that stand ready TO
repay the effort with almost fabulous
wealth.
Manure gathered from the farm is
the result of one crop and will most
effectively supply the neess of the
next 1t needs no chemical analysis
to prove this.
The fullest results from complete
fertilization can be secured only when
the plants are put in thick enough to
use all the soil and yet admit all the
air and sunshine they need, as we'll as
the means of proper cultivation. No
hills must be missing. l know that
one square rod of ungenerous soil, fer
tilized with one years sweepings of a
farm house, produced three bushels of
onions from small sets, ripening in
June, and was followed by crop of
three bushels Of sweet potatoes before
frost That gives 4S0 bushels of onions
and the same of potatoes from an acre.
This was done at Leadvale, east Ten
nessee.
In South Carolina 225 bushels of corn
has been produced ON one acre.
Wheat may be planted and cultivat.
ed by hand hoeing, one grain to each
square foot, SO that the yield will be
80 bushels to the acre. This has been
done at Cleveland, East Tennessee.
". GATHERING.
The man who, in one day, for $3.50,
gathers so bushels of corn from one
acre, and leaves six bushels in ears
upon the stalks, costs his employer
50 day If corn is worth so cents a
bnshel. The potato field in which a
man can not earn 50 per acre and per
day by cleaning are very rare under
the present slipshod method Of dig
ging.
Wholesale farming is, generally,
wholesale shabbiness. IS. j. Norton,
