SERIES OF FALL
RACE MEETINGS
Embracing Grenada. Columbus.
Starkville and Jackson
Would Mean Some Very
Fine Races.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. S-Plans are
being formulated for seNes of fall
race meetings in Mississippi to take
place during the autumn fair season,
commencing at Grenada during the
early part Of October, and winding up
in Jackson during the Mississippi In
dustrial Exposition.
Several horSemen have given their
approval of the plan, and it is believed
that 1t can be made a success. One
week OF running and trotting races was
given during the industrial exposition
last year, and it was successful from
financial standpoint, but the owners
of good horse-fesh state that they
cannot afford to bring their animals
to the state for one meeting only.
If circuit was formed to include
the fairs at Grenada, Columbus and
Starkville, closing with the Industrial
Exposition in Jackson, it would mean
three weeks of racing in the state,
and doubtless some first class horses
would be entered for the purses.

GRENADA FIRM GETS
HANDSOME CONTRACT
The Perry-Jones Company Will
Do Plumbing and Electric
Wiring on New Deaf and
Dumb Institute.

The Perry-Jones Company, being
the lowest bidders, were awarded a
contract by the state on the 7th to
do the plumbing and electric wiring
and putting in the heating apparatus
in the new Deaf and Dumb Asylum.
The amount of the contract is over
S12, 1000, and this wide-awake concern
is to be congratulated on securing the
contract, and this is only an earnest
of what may be expected of them
from now on. They are In the ma
chine and plumbing business to sue
ceed. They have the capital and the
company is under the management OF
men of splendid executive ability and
those that do not know anything
about the word Failure. They have
an excellent force at work in their
shops and are going after business
with determination to get it. The
Sentinel is glad to note their success
in securing this large contract.

This startling statement is made con-
concerning the available cotton acre.
nno In, ot1r onftor, nrroxuinn rouinn

This startling statement is made con-
concerning the available cotton acre.
age in our cotton growing region.
"The total area Of the present cot
ton producing region Of the United
States is estimated at 700, 900 square
miles, or 448, 900, 900 acres. Or this
only about one acre in every seven
teen was given to cotton In 1908.
Were this proposition raised to five
acres in every seventeen, it would
mean a crop of more than $4,000, 600
bales at the present rate Of produc-
tion. The increase in the amount of
cotton grown in this country does
not depend so much on an increase in
the acreage planted as ON seed selec-
tion, fertilization and the manner i'm
which the crop is cultivated.
The cotton grower has discovered
that he can most easily and profitably
secure increased production by i'm
proved methods of farming-that is
by crop rotation and better culture
than by an increase in the acreage.
What the result would be were the
maximum acreage devoted to cotton
and the best cultured methods en-
ployed, must remain a matter of con-
lecture. An average of one bale to
the acre is not an impossible achieve
ment, and at that rate the cotton
growing states OF the South are capa-
BILE of producing many times the pres
ent yield"
The evil of American cotton prOdu-
GERS, says the report, is bad baling.
The Egyptian and Indian bales are
pointed out as much better. 1t is ex-
planned, however. that reform of this
lack here will be exceedingly difficult
because the United States cotton is
cultivated on about 100000 farms
distributed over very wide area, and
ginned in more than 20, 900 establish
mentS.
The varying local conditions and
wide expanSe Of country render it diff
ficult, il not impossible, to introduce
any uniform system Of baling and eS-
peciallg one requiring heavy presses.
The idea of cylindrical bale, which
LIDO lOuiiu OOilC ldfOl, ID OloCOuidSSQ
by the census bureau. Scores Of in
ventions for baling cotton in cylindri-
Cal form have been made during the
past decade, but only two have been
put into practical operation. One Of
these is the BesSonette, or roundlap
system, and the other, the Lowry.
The bales turned out by these presses
are about % inches in diameter and
35 in length, an average of about 250
pounds in weight
These packages are kept in shape
bv the Z ,9siar IL .isers and layers,
and require no iron bands. The cylin-
drical bale has not proved entirely
and the tendency at this
time is toward an improvement in the
square bale, many believing that the
density of that package may be SO in
creased as to avoid the present neces-
Sity of recOmpression.- Bulle-
