The WAYNE
STAvE COMPANY
To Enlarge It's Plant end Double the
Present Output.

Just year ago this week the nego
tiations between the Wayne Stave Co
Of Sims, Illinois, and the Greenwoo,
Business League were concluded, re
sulting in the location Of this industr,
in Greenwood on the Y. & NJ. v. r. r
st Parsons Junction.
Under the able management Of Mr.
G. A. Walker, the business has steadil,
increased until today they employ thirty
men with an average operating OK.
pense Of $2,50O month, and a capacity
Of forty thousand slaves day.
On the first Of May the Big bend
Cooperage Co., Of Malinta, Tenn, an
other Of the Walker plants will be
moved to Greenwood and merged with
the Wayne plant which will double the
capacity Of this mill and put their op-
Grating expenses among the valuable
pay rolls Of our city. Mr.. Chas. A.
Walker, who has had charge Of the Big
Bend plant for several years, will move
to Greenwood bringing his family and
thus Greenwood will secure one more
good citizen.
The Walker family have been identi.
fed with the slack barrel manufactur-
ing business for the past thirty years
and being acquainted with practically
every stave producing locality in the
United States, it will be q matter Of
special interest to our readers to know
their views on Greenwood as the future
center for this industry in the South.
The question Of cheap raw material,
It's quality and accessibility, is one Of
the vital factors in the life and success
Of this business. The Walkers, COM
menting on the value Of our gum timber
for slaves, point out that there has been
SO small waste in working it up here
that they have bought coal for fuel at
the mill, every particle Of the logs COM
ing in turning out standard quality
slaves. This is unprecedented in their
experience.
Millions of feet Of gum on the Yazoo
River and it's tributaries, which repre-
sent close to total OF 1000 miles of ,
streams is available. !
The Walkers have the logs cut into
stave blocks in the woods and brought ,
nere on barges. For towing purposes I
'hey run heavy gasoline tug and in t
his way land their raw material at the I
dill with the least possible cost for '

seed meal, the yield was seventy two
bushels.
Time OF planting: For loan land
well drained, the first twenty days in
March is good time to plant. For
sun land and land that is not we'll
drained we have had better results with
that planted the latter half Of May. IL
planted during the intervening period,
insects, especially the bud.worm, are
liable to damage the stand.
Method Of preparing the land: For
early planting, we have practiced two
methods. Both have given satisfactory
results. On particularly we'll drained
cuts, where there is gradual fall aud
no depressions, and much of the Delta
land lies this way, the land may be fat
broken during the winter. At planting
time disc it, setting the disc at a sharp
angle and half tapping. Weight the
disc harrow, If necessary, 80 that it will
cut deep. Follow with heavy smooth
Ing harrow. cross narrowing IL nee
essary, and plant level.
THE second method is better for land
that has not perfect drainage. 1t con-
sists in breaking the land in eight-foot
beds. When ready to plant, run the
disc harrow on the bed and follow with
smoothing harrow. Plant two rows on
each bed. This plan provides drainage
for one side Of each row. Also, the land
will be practically level when corn is
laid by.
For May planting, break early and
either rebreak in April or keep land
well disced and narrowed to keep the
land free from grass and In good con
tition to plant. Plant level at this sea-
son.
"VARIETIRs-It is very important that
southern grown seed be used. North.
'rn seed should never be used except
or early feed. Southern grown seed
will make more corn, and sounder corn
nd the weevils will not trouble it as
hey do the corn grown from the North.
I'm seed. Certainly all the corn used
n the plantation should be grown. Not q
My can it be raised muck cheaper than
can be bought, but we must have the !
eas to put humus and nitrogen into the
oil. Further. If the farm is fenced, the
ca crop can be harvested by hogs, and d
considerable revenue derived. By a Q
est in 1908 the details of which are
iven in revised bulletin No. 107, $40
er acre was made by grazing a corn p
cid with hogs. fl
"The statement is frequently made v
lat corn is not profitable crop in the h
elta. IL the land is indiferently pre- u
ared and the cultivation of the corn o.
sglected for that of cotton, az is fire. o
lently the case, this statement may "
) true. That it is not necessarily true, lc
any good Delta farmers have already 81
oroughly demonstrated. al

Mr.. Warner Wells Having TwO.Story
Residence Erected,

Mr.. Warner Wells recently purchased
a portion of Mrs. Colmerrys lots on
Church street, and has awarded the
contract for the erection of handsome
two-story residence thereon to Con-
tractor G. W. Chepoweth, who will be-
gin work on same at once.
When this splendid new residence Is
completed we learn that the family OF
Mr.. and Mrs. G. W. Wells will move
into it and rent the residence they now
occupy.

the crop has been plowed up and re
planted one or more times, or after the
field has become inoculated OF itself.
| "We strongly insist on fall planting

ground be broken from four to si,
weeks before time to plant, and kept

falfa will not grow IL planted on freshly
plowed land. A we'll broken but firm
soil, with the upper two inches we'll
pulverized, is the ideal seed bed.
"We suggest incubation for all Delta
soils, and insist on it for loan soils.
alfalfa will yield for us from three
to five tons Of hay per acre, is easily
cured, and is worth Is per cent more
than timothy for feeding to farm stock.
Timothy gets its high market value
from the fact that ii is an excellent
feed for livery and fast driving horses.
III, therefore, You are paying SIS per
ton for timothy hay to feed to your
farm teams, alfalfa hay or COW pea hay,
is worth $40 per ton, and should be 10
figured in planning the crop rotation.
RED CLOVER.
"Red clover grows we'll on both loan
and buckshot land. We use it In con-
nection with rape for . hog pasture.
We have also harvested good hay from
it, but in view OF our other more suit
able hay plana, we do not advise its
general use as hay crop. On the
loan land, the stand is broken during
the hot weather Of August and it is
necessary to reseed each year.
"Another source Of hay in the Delta
is the pea crop grown In corn. This is
harvested after the corn is pulled and
makes a fine quality Of forage. We do
not practice this method, however, but
lot the hogs eat the peas, or pick them
or seed and then turn the vines under
or fertilizer. At least two-thirds of
he fertilizing value Of the pea crop Is
n the vines and seed and the remainder
n the stubble and roots.
with our variety Of hay plants, it Is
lot necessary that single bale Of hay
hould be shipped into the Delta. When
is done, it is simply matter Of choice

he PrOnOunCeS Greenwood the Best
Market.

Mr.. D. D. Coggins, Of Carroll county,
was in the city last Saturday and made
The Commonwealth an appreciated call.
He brought In a wagon load OF spring
vegetables which we're disposed OF so
readily that he unhesitatingly pro.
nounces Greenwood tho best market
In the State for all kinds OF country
produce" This is the verdict Of all
who market their cotton and other pro-
duce In this city.

COTTON RECEIPTS.

Considering the fact that it requires
about seven and half or eight millions
of dollars to handle these 1850 bales
OF cotton, some idea of the immensity of
Greenwood's cotton business can be
conceived.
We have the richest cotton producing
section In the world, the class Of staple
grown here is the very highest grade;
we have unquestionably the staunchest
resident buyers in the South, and Green
wood easily ranks in the forefront OF
any market in this or the adjacent
states.
Our two extensive congresses have
been pretty heavily taxed In handling
this seasons bumper record breaking
receipts, but they will be sufficiently
enlarged to easily press the 100000
bales which will very likely be mar
keted here next season.

GREENWOOD LEADS THE STATE.

GREENWOOD LEADS THE STATE.
The cotton receipts in Greenwood for
the season 190s-00, up to April 18th,
were 1880 bales, and the prediction
OF The Commonwealth some two months
ago that this market would receive 12O,-
600 bales by the close Of the present
season Sept. lst) will very likely be
verified.
The steady and substantial growth Of
Greenwood rs cotton market the past
several years has attracted the atten-
tion OF the business world generally.
This Is not surprising, however; when
We observe that our cotton receipts
this season are perhaps double those Of
any market In Mississippi.
As will be seen In the following com.
statements our gain for this
season is s5,3s5 bales over the same date

date l90G-07:

Some Cold Facts.

More new residences, business houses
and industrial plants have been erected
and established In Greenwood within
the past year than in any city OF the
same size in Mississippi. This Ia not
merely an idle assertion, but cold facts.
The growth Of Greenwood is both sub
stantial and steady, and Investments In
this vicinity always prove profitable.

II CULTIVATION Corn may be drilled o
checked. We prefer checking for tw
) reasons. The corn can be kept cleal
with less labor, and, after our heav,
spring rains, the land eau be lv.ore thor
oughly cultivated by plowi 3 both ways
1t can be checked on tho double bed
referred to above. by taking up ths
marker and driving the planter dowr
the center of the bed. We use the
double walking cultivators. These dc
thorough work and the cost of making
the crop is cheapened. Corn should be
cultivated often and thoroughly. Gull
tiyate deep during the easily part of the
season and shallow after the roots get
out in the row. After the corn is too
large to permit the use Of the double
cultiyator, for the last blowing we use
single cultivators. Cultivate late. This
conserves moisture and keeps the grass
out, Sow one bIsheT of peas per acre
just before the last cultivation.
ALFALFA.
"From three years experience with
alfalfa, we do not hesitate to recommend
it as a profitable hay crop If planted
properly on the right character Of land.
Our average yield has been $500 pounds
OF cured hay per acre. The yield on
fresh land or on land improved by peas
will be greater than this.
"Well drained buckshot land ia bet
ter suited to alfalfa. Fall planting ia
much safer than spring planting. In
fact, spring planting will mean failure,
generally in this section. Fresh buck
shot land not badly infested with crab
grrss, might be successfully planted in
the spring, but even on such land fall
planting il much safer.
"The land should be- thoroughly brok- /
en- in winter or early spring and put it /
into 3O-foot lands. Sow to peas, thick
in April, and NOW for hay In July. I'M
nediately plow the land, break thor
oughly, and keep the field in lands as
originally plowed. Keep we'll disced
lnd narrowed until about September
Lst, and plant. If the land is prepared
n this way, we will have no fall to dry
or seeding.
"rwenty pounds Of seed per acre is
sufficient. Cover with
moothing harrows.
INOCULATION.
"A few bushels per acre Of finely
ulyerized soil from an established al
alfa field, sprinkled over the ground
'hen the seed are sown, will greatly
elp the growth of alfalfa. This inoc- a
lation is not absolutely essential for {
ur stiff lands, bnt it will cause vigor- .
us growth from the start, and is worth
lille, even on this class Of soil. For
,am land, incubation is essential to
lccess. Some planters are growing 5

DELTA EXPERIMENT
STATION RESULTS.
ou''et'n Beln1 Printed for Distribution
-txtrscts from Advance Sheets.

Prof. J. W. Fox, Of the Delta Exper
iment Station, has in press an e1baus
tive bulletin giving the results Of the
work at the Station for the past three
years. This bulletin is now In the hand,
OF the printers and when finished will
be distributed from the Mississippi Az.
ricultural College.
Through the courtesy Of Prof. Fox the
Business League has been furnished
with advance sheets of the new bul.
letin and the following extracts show
not only the splendid work which has
been done at the Station but IL also
demonstrates the vast possibilities of
our Delta soil. 1t is proper to keep in
mind that the Station property was an
old run down cotton farm, no attempt
having been made previous to the time
that this property was devoted to ex-
perimental purposes to keep up the fer
tility Of the soil:
CORN.
"The corn was planted on the unim-
proved part Of the place. This was
done in order to fertilize the land with
peas.
"The average yield without fertilizer
has been thirty-nine bushels per acre.
On five acres in 1908, planted after corn
and peas the previous year, an average
,f forty-seven bushels was made. On
,ne acre fertilized with ten loads of
stable manure and 800 pounds Of cotton

and material too which
when turned into slaves commands the
highest price on the market.
When these blocks arrive at the mill
hey are cut into stave bolts and placed
n steam boxes for thirteen hours after
which they are finished into slaves by
machine which, curiously enough, is
n0wn to the trade as the Greenwood
tave Cutter. An idea of the volume Of
usiness now being done is gained by
that they carry on the yard

rade, sugar, -four, coffee, lime and ce-
ent barrel slaves at all times. |

BIG INCREASE IN
POSTOff|Cf RECEIPTS.
A Cain OF $2.535 SO Over the Year,
1907.

Deputy Postmaster W. C. Peel has
furnished The Commonwealth the fol-.
lowing comparative figures as to the
Greenwood postonice receipts for the
years 1907 and 1908, respectively, ending
April LIST, which shows gain of 1885,
80 in favor Of the postal year just
closed:
First half 1907 $8,00714
Last half 1907. 7,9O5.20

First half 1908 ..,... 7.195.7s
Last half 1908 S~..,,,., 9.l5225
$i8,44s 0s
1t will be observed that the gain in
receipts for the last half over the frst
half OF the year just closed foots up the
handsome sum Of $l,s58.47, which is
probably the greatest increase OF any
postotiice in the State for the same
period.
In fact, the increase for the last half
year is nearly as great as was pre-
dicted by Secretary Sterling Of the
Business League, who estimated last |
fall that the receipts for the six months
ending April lst would be $4,000.

enormous loss in future development
Of irrigation works, and / fear this is
not fully appreciated. 1t Is for this
reason that at times private enter
prise are disposed to contend that the
government Is obstructing greater
possibilities for larger areas of irri-
gfble land. I may mention here what
has frequently occurred to me as a
source of advantage both to the
states and the federal government,
and that is the securing from the VAR
ious states of uniform Legislation in
the matter of appropriation of the
water and its beneficial use and also
legislation looking to the control and
conservation OF all available water
powers.
This congress could accomplish
no greater work beyond the sti-nulat-
ion of interest in the development of
irrigation than to secure uniform
water regulation in the states and al
so uniform legislation affecting inter
state waters.
Ours Is nation of busy people, 4
nation OF great resources and possi-
bilities and most favorably situated
Is greater than that OF any single
country. even of France and Germany
combined and this wealth is increas-
ing at a fabulous rate. Much of it has
been accumulated by the destruction,
by the sacrifice and waste of natures
gifts and Ii Is a fortunate circun-
stance that the country has been
brought to understand the importance
of utilizing and saving our national
wealth and making i; possible for
the nation to continue to prosper and
for the generations that are TO come
to have some share of that prosper
ity. especially since no element of
the nations wealth is greater than
that contained in the soil. For this
reason. il for no other. the work of re-
clamation of the arid and se-ni-arid
lands o. the West is worthy of first
importance in the development of the
nations resources. Every acre of irri-
gable land will be needed in the nat
ions economy.
In a century we have passed from
purely agricultural country to an
industrial and commercial country
but we have not outgrown the neces-
sity for agriculture"
