The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1909-11-18

We must plant prolific. early
maturing, big boil varieties of cot.
ton. Weevils are unable to null
tiply until squares begin to form
and as only small numbers pass
through the winter, they must have
considerable time to multiply IN
sufficient numbers to puncture the
squares as fast as they form. For
this reason, we must plant early
maturing varieties of cotton.
Large boil varieties are much
better than the small, because of q
thicker calyx. The boil weevil
easily punctures the grown bolls
of the small boil varieties. Where
the bolls are exposed to the sun,
the weevil seldom punctures half
grown bolls of the big boil varie-
ties.
About twenty varieties of cotton
have been planted in this county
this year. A number of different
varieties have been planted side by
side at the same time on different
plantations. The results obtained
on thirty plantations indicate that
the Cleveland big boil and Cooks
Improved are the best varieties TO
grow. The demonstrations show
that at least one hundred thousand
dollars worth more of cotton would
have been grown in this county
this year had Cleveland big boil
and Cooks seed been planted.
Every planter in the county
picked the early emerging weevils
from the plants and also picked up
the squares punctured by the weev-
lis. This work is very expensive,
but the results obtained are more
than satisfactory. Children under
ten are unable to do other farm
work and can be used to great ad-
vantage in picking the weevils and
squares.
Thorough preparation; early
planting of prolific, early maturing
big boil varieties; and the judicious
application of fertilizers must be
followed by frequent and shallow
cultivation with cultivators and
harrows. The turning plow is out
of place in cotton field unless it
has rained for two or three weeks
and it is necessary to bury grass.
The harrow and cultivator keeps a
dust mulch, checks the rising soil
moisture and plant food just at a
depth where there are the most
plant roots to utilize them for
plant growth. The turning plow
or solid sweep generally cuts the
side roots and causes the cotton to
shed. The laying by of the cotton
with a large solid sweep annually
causes much shedding. Harrows,
cultivators.. and heel sweeps are
tools to use.

FINE STALLION.
$1,000 Animal With a Record of
2:I2. Should be Kept in
County.

GO0uSys
The Port Gibson Bank has a
$4,000 stallion which came from the
farm of Bob Smith who recently
suicided. This animal is nagnif-
icent driver, having trotting rec
ord of 2:I2. He is high-strung,
yet gentle, a perfect specimen OF
horse flesh. Being neither too large
nor too small for his class, Royal
Coat would make an ideal sire to
build up the driving stock of Clai-
borne county.
The regrettable thing Is that this
magnificent animal Is to be sold
and may leave the county. He
can be had for half, probably, what
he cost, or $1,000. Why can't home
people own him? A stock COM
pany could be formed of eight or
ten men with shares of 500 each,
and thus keep this valuable horse
here. Three are four gentlemen
have already signiied their willing
ness to take stock in such COM
pany, and we believe there are
enough others to raise the neces-
sary amount. Royal Coat came
from Kentucky. and his ancestors
are among the most noted trotters
in the country.
Claiborne must not lose him.

The Fight in Claiborne.

The planters of Claiborne and
the boil weevil have been engaged
in a fierce struggle since August,
1909. The first battle has been
fought. The planters who have
carried out the Governments in
structions have won a glorious
victory.
The planters who have kept their
laborers and forced them to plant
their best lands in corn and to
thoroughly cultivate it have an
abundance of corn. Those who
forced their tenants to plant cane
or sorghum and to give it the prop
er cultivation have enough mo-
lasses. Those who forced their
tenants to plant sweet potatoes,
peas, etc., and to cultivate the
crops we'll are all smiles.
Every planter is anxious TO hold
every tenant with plenty of corn,
potatoes, molasses, etc. The mer-
chants are more than willing to
furnish such tenants next year.
The planters will not nor will the
merchants furnish a tenant without
corn, potatoes or molasses. Con-
sequently hundreds of the tenants
will be compelled to leave the
county. As a result thousands of
acres of land will grow up in weeds
and briars. There is only one
hope and that is to grow all the
farm produce necessary for home
use.
Many planters have grown good
crops OF cotton this year, in spite
of the seasons and the boil weevil.
I have obtained the results from
twenty-five planters who cultivated
$50 acres according to the Govern
ment's methods and got TOO bales
of cotton. One planter got 48Is
pounds of seed cotton from two
and half acres. One planter got
FIVE bales from six acres. One
planter cultivated 22o acres &C
cording TO the Governments meth
DDS but not under the instructions
of the writer and obtained Ios
bales of Aliens Long Staple. AL
now agree that good crops of cot
ron can be grown in spite of the
boil weevil in average seasons.
The tenants who reduced thei
cotton acreage to from 8 to II
acres to the mule and cultivated
the cotton in the most thorough
manner possible have made fairl.
good crops. The grassy cottol
fields have produced very little cot
ton.

cHRYsANTHEMUn SHOW.
A Big Success, Both as to Display
and Amount Realized.

The Kings Daughters Chry-
santhemum Show last Saturday
afternoon and evening was sue
cess from every standpoint. The
display was remarkably fine, es-
pecially as this is the first attempt
at a show; the attendance was
large, and the amount realized
Soo-was very gratifying.
The ladies took possession of the
office of the superintendent ofedu-
cation at the court house, and
when that official arrived in town
he was almost unable to recognize
his own quarters. Visitors were
taken in charge by the ladies and
shown through the display. Some
of the flowers were the most mag
nihclant ever seen here, and all
did credit to their growers and the
occasion.
Refreshments of various kinds
were served, and the afternoon
was a very pleasant-one.
The prizes, which consisted OF
bows of ribbon, were awarded as
follows:

UNLISTED STOCKS.

]. A. Minnear & Co. say today
The market has been heavy with the
exception of the last hour. Short COW
erings caused a slight rally on the
close in all markets. The oil decision
is being taken moro seriously than at
first expected and together with Pres
ident Tafts utterances today i'm re-
gard to trust legislation considerable
uneasness is resulting. The curbs
have been active and very strong con-
sidering. Santa Rosalia, Chief, G. & c.
ana Cactus were the features. The
demand for Cactus sprung up in the
last few minutes and looks as If II
might continue. Lake was the feature
on the Boston market, but we strongly
advise staying clear of 1t either way
They not only have some more treas
ury stock but the pool operating in il
would very much like 10 liquidate G
little. Would rather buy South Lake
Indiana or North Lake and take the
chance of them showing up something
We continue to advise extreme caution
against getting overloaded. How
ever there is no reason To expect any
thing but higher prices, but the uneX'
pected often happens. London copper

NOT IN BIG COMBINE.

Cleveland II. Dodge, vice president
of Phelps. Dodge and Co. the third
largest copper producing interest IN
this country, according to the Wall
street Journal, has not been asked
to join forces with the proposed com
bination of big copper interests. Mr..
Dodge is quoted as saying:
I'VE have not been asked to enter
into any combinations or agreement,
and | do not think it is intended to
invite us to participate in the plans
which, according to report. are under
consideration. Moreover, l do not see
the slightest possibility of our enter
ing into the combination even If we
were invited to do so. 1t seems to me
that ii woul be good thing for the
conner trade If several of the larger
producers remained outside of such
a combination. OF course, all things
are possible, but as matters stand AT
the present and as far as we know at
the present time. there is not the
slightest likelihood of our departing
from our past and present policy OF
conducting our business independ-
entity"

AIM e Elk.

Lake advices are to the effect that
the new Ahmeek Gtamp mill will be
placed in commission about the middle
of February $50 Co. a,a-d-.-.- l 81 '.-s.'
Provision was made i'm the construc-
ton of the plant for the installation Of
four stamps, but it is likely that not
more than three will be required until
rock shipments are available from Nos.
and 4 shafts, which will be a year or
more.
The Ahmeek is now opened and
equipped for the supplying of about p
500 tons of rock daily, and when TINS
scale of operations is entered upon in
dications point to a rate Of production
of from 100000 to 100000 pounds
Of copper per anniim.
New construction continues a heavy
expense to the Ahmeek, particularly
the item i'm connection with the build
ing of the stamp mill. But including
the expenditures in this direction we
are advised that the company's total
cost per pound thus far for the current
year is but the mcrest fraction over ten
cents
Ahmeek is possessed of every modern
Improvement for the advantageous
mining of its vein contents. while with
i'm brief period this will hold true
from the standpoint of milling. after
which. aside from the item of extraor-
binary construction, the cost of its
output should be rather under than
over eight cents per pound.
The active Ahmeek shaft commands
portion of the Kearsarge vein Of
much more than average richness, the
only portion comparing favorably with
IL being that of the wolverine. Some
little doubt exists as to whether the
territory to be commanded by Ahmeek
shafts Nos. 3 and 4 will prove as pro-
life as the south part of the mine. In
fact, the consensus of opinion seems
to be that IL will not. and yet IL is sig
nihcant to note that the nearest adjoin-
ing developments, those of the Mohawk
at its No. shaft. are extremely favor
able.
The Ahmeek has demonstrated be-
yond reasonable doubt that 1t will be
capable of producing at the very lowest
2O,000000 pounds OF copper per annum,
at cost which promises to compare
favorably with the lowest secured by
any mine I'm the Michigan district. Its
