Major Kennon's army Of 1000 road

amused themselves with dances, cards
and games that appealed to the diner.

They did not like to work, and when
they did It was with slow, sluggish
movement.
One day Major Kennon decided to
try music AZ an impetus to zeal. he
assembled his band, made up Of men
Of all nations, and ordered It to move
quietly and secretly to place where
several hundred rilipinos were en-.
gagged In drilling holes In the canon
walls. The band stole up behind the
slow.going drillers and suddenly struck
up a favorite oriental air. Instantly
the Filipinos caught the spirit Of the
music and began to beat their drills
against the rock In rhythm.
The result was more than a surprise

A bet had been made between Major

The story Of the bet was borne from

According to Mr.. Willett, +. Il. A, s.,
the scheme consists Of putting forward

DELTA IRRIGATION
SAVED CORN CROP OF ENTER

TY FARMER.

Mr.. John A, Jordan. OF Carriers.
Yazoo City, on the Dog road, and
who is extensively engaged in plant
ing III that section, has made a dis
covery that will revolutionize the
vogue in this section and make sic
cess certain, where heretofore sue
cess depended entirely upon the elc
ments.
acres in corn. The rains early in
the season prevented the proper cul-
tivation of the crop, and it was soon
apparently hopelessly taken by the
grass. 1t was worked out as soon
as the ground would permit, but no
subsequent rains fell. and the crop
was about to burn up for want OF
rain, when happy thought struck
Mr.. Jordan. He would follow the
custom of the arid region of the west
and irrigate. On the place IS fine
artesian we'll His plantation is prac-
tically level and the water from the
we'll was turned into the field, the
result being that the parched earth
eagerly drank up the water and fur
nis1ed the moisture necessary to re
vive the dropping crop, and a gentle
man who told the Sentinel about 1T
saws that a finer field of corn he
never saw and that it will yield as
large crop as was ever seen in
Yazoo county.
This is a hint that if followed ought
to be worth thousands of dollars to
the planters of Yazoo county Al
though the initial expense is pretty
heavy an artesian we'll on a plantation
will pay for itself in many ways in
few years. and in addition to furnish
ing an unlimited supply of pure water
for man and beast, if utilized for ir-
rieation purposes, will frequently
turn failure into success and make
the crop a certainty-Yazoo Senti-
mel
