johnson Grass.

Johnson grass, understood and rightly
used is great blessing. Misunderstood
and misused it may become a real pest.
We think we may consider the follow
ing points as proven by numerous expert
ments:
1. Johnson grass, if cut before it heads
makes good hay, and yields more per acre
than any grass.
2. 1t spreads from both seed and roots
If not allowed to seed it spreads very
slowly. If not plowed with shallow
pIows it does not spread from the TO OTIS
enough to trouble.
3. 1t has been and can be entirely de-
stroyed by close pasturing for two or
three years, for if the leaves are kept from
growing this long the roots perish
4. The scare about Johnson gra S.
like a similar scare about Bermuda will
pass away in few years and it will be
understood and welcomed as Il great
blessing.
5. The south is slowly, but surely
awakening to the fact that the cattle
business is destined to become great
source of wealth to us. Queen Cow will
be the rival and the handmaid Of King
Cotton.
g. Bermuda and Johnson grass will
be two OF the blessings sent by Provi-
dence to help bring about this change

for the purpose elm, willow, and other
like timber. Mr. Pitre informs us he will
work to begin with not less than % men,
and expects to increase the number'n a

An Appeal for the Davis Fund.

Below we publish, at the request of
Colonel Montgomery, letters in reference
to contributions to the Davis monument
fund. Col. Montgomery has generously
undertaken to collect subscriptions to
the fund in this county, and he should
meet with liberal encouragement in this
labor of love. In his appeal, Colonel
Montgomery well says that there are
many who could contribute at least one
dollar each, if no more. Such contribu-
tions would very materially add to the
fund, and it is to be hoped that a large
number OF our citizens will respond to
the call. Mississippi should lead in this
cause, and Bolivar should contribute
more than her Share. Theletters referred
to are as follows:
Rosedale, Miss, March 1, 1902.
Hon. Chas. Scott, Rosedale Miss:
My Dear Sir:-Your note of the 9th,
containing check for five dollars for the
Davis Monument fund, received. Please
accept my thanks for this liberal contri-
button, for, in view of other conttibn
tions you have made, it is very liberal.
1t came just in time to encourage me
to hope that will get others, for so far
the only Sums have received have been
two dollars, one each from two good
ladies Of this town. / have no doubt
that many others who have purposed to
give, but, not having done it at the time,
have forgotten it.
Ofcoursc, cannot make a canvass for
funds, bat had hoped that the mere re-
quest would meet with a generous and
prompt response, and still think will
get enough to make the contribution
from Bolivar respectable one. No one
need give much, and few, if any, will give
as much as you have done; but there are
old saying is 'many mickle makes
muckle," so l hope the number of con-
tributors will make up for the small
amounts each may possibly give.
don't like to trouble the papers with an
other call, but if the Democrat would
kindly publish this, and the Enterprise
copy it, Gfyou don't object), it may
serve to remind others who wish to give,
but have overlooked it, to remit to me
whatever they desire to contribute.
/ am yours very truly,
F. A. MONTGOMERY
March 3rd, 1902.
Col F. A. Montgomery,
Rosedale, Miss.
My Dear Colonel:-Your favor of the
1st inst. received, and will take pleas
ure in having the Democrat publi:h it !;
then am sure you will have no trouble
i'll getting it copied by the Enterprise.
If can aid you further you must not
hesitate to call on me. 1t is shame
that Mississippi does not make more
liberal contribution to the Davis monu-
ment. Yours very truly,
CHAs. ScoTT.
