FARMERS TO GET
FAIR WHEAT CROP

Grand Forks, N d., Aug. 21.--J d.
Bacon, who has been making crop
inspection tour through the northern
part OF the state for The Evening
Times, reached home Saturday night.
This tour. which covered several
hundred miles and consumed several
days, was made because Of the widely
divergent and exaggerated reports on
the conditions of the crop throughout
the territory directly contributary to
Grand Forks In order thai the read
ers OF The Times might have an un-
biased report at first hand or the ac-
tual conditions. Mr.. Bacon Travelled
through several counties and person
ally examined scores of fields.
The route Saturday was northwest
from Cando until the 500 railroad was
struck and from that point southeast
erly to Park River. The conditions
in that territory merely confirmed
what has previously been reported
that the principal damage was done
by the hot winds and not by the rust.
Mr.. Bacon sums up the result along
this line In the statement that there
would have been a bumper crop but
for the hot winds.
Damaged 40 Per Cent.
The damage done varies largely.
While some particular fields are dam
aged 40 per cent from what they were
four weeks ago, this is NOT general by
any means. All the fields will probably
be damaged 10 per cent from what
was in sight a month ego. and the
different fields run between these two
extremes, with the larger tendency
towards the smaller figure The crop
will not be a bumper one, but with
wheat selling around the dollar mark
the farmers throughout the northern
half of the state viii be in pretty fair
shape financially
The returns from the thresl1ing ma
chimes are bearing out the conserva-
tive estimate. They are running from
twelve to twenty bushels with some
as high as twenty-five and even thirty
bushels and some much below the
twelve-busheI limit. The kernels are
not as large as in some other years,
caused by the hot winds, and the char
Is heavier. The straw is abundant,
showing the foundation for good
crop.
One rather peculiar condition is
that the poor crops are not necessar-
lily on poor land. Some OF the poor
est fields inspected BY Mr.. Bacon were
far better SO far as fertility Is con-
cerned than some OF those where the
largest yields will be. The weather
conditions in the spring ami early
summer were Ideal but the hot
weather. the like OF which has never
been experienced In the state before
caught the fields in different stages
of growtln and this makes the diner
ences which are 80 pronounced al
| this time.
The inspection trip taken in the in.
terest OF The Times has shown that
neither the pessirnistic reports OF rusi
nor the optimistic reports OF a bum
per crop had any foundati0n In fact

I. Il. LLOYD BLOWS
OUT HIS BRAINS.
A Merehant in Eastern Creenwoo4
Committed Suicide.

Mr.. T. Fl. Lloyd. . merchant conduct
ing . small business in East Green
wood, committed suicide early Mon
day morning by blowing out his brains
with shotgun.
Mr. Lloyd left no message to anyone
for his cause Of departing this life, but
it is thought by his friends that his i'll
health brought him to take this means
Of ending his life.
It seems that Mr.. Lloyd made careful
preparations for his death, as he took
off his shoes, walked into his back yard,
whore he used his right toe in dis
charging the gun, the muzzle Of which
was directed towards his brain.
A coroner's inquest was held at
seven o'clock, whose verdict was sui
eide. Messrs. McQuinn, Galley, Dean,
Hart, Smith and Shute composed the
jury.
Mr.. Lloyd had been a citizen Of our
city for almost four years, having moved
here from st. Louis. He married Miss
Mary Fourcault, of this city, who sur
wives him.
The funeral service was conducted
from the home the same afternoon of
his death, and the interment made at
Odd Fellows Cemetery.

Students Return Home.

The student body OF the University
Of Mississippi returned to Oxford on
their special train at II o'clock last
night.
While somewhat disappointed, Of
course, that they did not annex vic
tory from the University Of Alabama,
the Oxford students were much graf
ifed over the good showing made by
the team, and the decided strength and
improvement shown since the game one
week previous with Tulane.
While in the city there was not a
single act Of misconduc by the un.
iversity students, and it was evident
that Chancellor Kincannon has made
no mistake in placing implicit con-
fidence in the members Of the student
body. The honor system has worked
admirably at the university, and the

successful session in it's history.-Jack

INCREASE IN OUR
RAILROAD MILEAGE,
Increase OF 26o AT Miles Is Shown
N New Map.

The new map Of Mississippi, now in
course Of preparation by the railroad
commission, in connection with its BIZ
ennial report to the legislature, will
show an increased mileage over that Of
1908 of 269.47 miles.
This increased mileage is shown on
the figures of the Illinois Central, Va
zoo & Mississippi Valley, Mississippi
Central, New Orleans Great Northern,
and some of the other roads, all except
that on the Mississippi Central and
New Orleans Great Northern being for
small extensions to connect up branch
lines, etc. The two exceptions have
been completed since the last map was
issued.
The total mileage, as shown by the
new map, is 4,O29.13, against 3,759.1O
miles in 1908.

gagged with the work Of preparing the

SALE OF SEED
BRlN6 LARGE RETURN.
500 Tess oS Cottoa Seed Brought $27

jackson, Miss. Oct. 72.-The state
treasury il to be enriched by just
$17, 900 by the sale yesterday of 500
tons Of cotton seed from the Sunfiower
convict faIm, $17 per ton, the highest
price it il believed, ever paid for cot
ton seed in tho State except in isolated
Gases where local seed fights brought
about normal prices. East year the top
notch Of $21 was considered phenom-
email, when the prison board secured
that price.
These 500 tons were sold in two diff
ferent lots, the Jackson Cotton Oil
Mill taking 400 tons and q Gulfport
concern the otker 400, the sale having
been made BY Col. W. A. Montgomery.
in the presence Of and with the advice
Of Superintendent c. 8. Neyland.
The sale was made for immediate de-
livery, but Col. Montgomery, who was
in Jackson last night en- route to his
home ut Edwards, says they are ex-
periencing great dificu1ty in securing
cars for shipment, and this may cause
considerable delay in actual shipments.
In fact, Maj. c. G. Smith, the trustee to
whom has been delegated to get togeth-
or the penitentiary exhibits for the
state fair, has had trouble in getting
cars to convey the exhibits from Parch-
man to Jackson.
Notwithstanding the continued re-
ports Of cotton crop shortage, Col.
Montgomery still believes the state
will make 1000 bales on it's four farms,
about 1900 bales Of which have been
ginned up to date. This will be prac-
tically 1900 bales short Of last years
crop, on an acreage Of about 700 or 800
more land.

Will BE A GREAT
CONVENTION.
Agricultural Experts Of Soutlseru
States viii Gather % jackson.

The convention of the agricultural
commissioners of the Southern states
to be held in jackson from November
16 to 18, Inclusive, promises to be the
most successful gathering that has been
held since these officials perfected an
organization.
Because of the fact of diversified
farming. the employment Of more mod
ern methods of agriculture and the
good roads movement have brought
about general awakening Of interest
among the people Of the South, which
promises to be almost revolutionary in
it's developments, the convention will
be one Of national Importance.
Plans for the gathering are in charge
of Commissioner II. e. Rlakeslee, and
during the past few days he has re-
ceived letters from the commissioners
of other Southern states, all saying that
they will be in Jackson without fail on
the dates named.
The organization has extended .
cordial invitation to all persons who
are interested in the subjects to be
discussed, especially cotton growers,
live stock 'raisers, horticulturists, dali
rymen, ETC., to be present and hear the
discussions. The program covers =
wide variety of topics, including cot
ton growing, feedstuffs, live stock,
dairying, ETC., and it is expected that
the agricultural commissioners of sew
eral of the central and western states
will accept the invitations that have
been rendered them to be present.
"The South is just at the dawn Of a
great era of agricultural development .
said Commissioner Blakeslee in Jackson
News. ''Slowly but surely our people are
being awakened to the fact that they
have missed many splendid opportun-
| tiles, that they are not taking full ad-
vantages of the resources of the soil
they till, and with the gradual spread
of this campaign of education we are
going to see the South grow and bios.

"The approe cts,r eer~ssasion crght
to have widespread influence on ag-
ricultare in Mississippi, and / hope
that as many farmers as can possibly
do SO will make arrangement ts to attend
the gathering and hear the papers read
and the discussions that follow"
