farm Department

waited according to the Govern
ment's methods have made from
one half to three fourths of a cot
ton crop. The boil weevil played
havoc with the cotton on late
lands.
Cotton is a tropical plant. There
is no sense in planting cotton in
the winter. The Government ad-
vises the planters to plant cotton
as early as is safe from frost. The
actual date of planting depends
upon the locality and to some ex-
tent upon the nature of the soil.
Prepare a fine seed bed; plant as
early as the seasons will allow; roll
the seed twenty-four hours before
planting; plant shallow and the
plants will be up in a few days.
Hundreds of acres of cotton re-
planted in May and June will not
yield one bale to ten acres. The
late crop is for the boil weevil, not
for the farmer, Let every planter
plant his cotton by April 10th next
year.
The sun is the most effective
weapon at our service. When
punctured squares fall to the
ground and are subjected to the
unobstructed rays of the sun, the
mortality is very high. Where the
rows are wide and the cotton small,
practically all of the larvae and
pupae are killed during fair wealth
er. If the rows are narrow and
the cotton makes a rank growth
and shades the ground, very little
benefit is derived from the sun.
The more rankly the cotton grows
and the more the ground is shaded,
the more damage the weevil will
do.
The rows ought to be wide
enough to make it possible for the
sun TO shine on every boil from the
time the blossom falls until matur.
ity. The bolls that are protected
from the sun and consequently
tender are much more likely to be
punctured by the weevil.
Acid phosphate is useless as
fertilizer in Claiborne county. Elk
cellent results have been obtained
from the use of nitrate of soda and
cotton seed meal. | recommend
the use of from IS to as pounds o
| nitrate of soda at planting time. |
| is also advisable to.use cotton seer
| meal where lands are greatly worr
by years of cropping. A tw'

| and cotton will make the soil @

Sketch of the Work of the w.
C. T. u.

G. T. u.
The local w. c. T. U. has been
in existence not quite eighteen
months. We have thirty-seven
members and are doing active work
in six prominent departments. In
the Medal Contest work six silver
medals, gold and a grand gold
medal have been won, and soon we
will form ano her contest class. In
the Flower Miss IN and Evangel-
istic Departmei } many flowers
have been carried to the sick and
shut-ins, magazines and delicacies
distributed. the sick and aged Wis
tied, also the poor house In the
Literature Department, much liter
ature' has been distributed, and
more will be done the coming year.
In Press Work. we do the best we
cans as the editor is crowded and
rushed, and he has his living to
make. In the Mercy Department,
we have done good work. Have
created sentiment against cruelty
of all kinds, have Humane So
ciety, four Bands of Mercy in the
public school, and before another
year has passed hope to have Bands
of Mercy in all the schools through
out the county. Have both local
superintendent and state superin-
tendent of Mercy in our union.
We are getting ready to organize
Junior Loyal Temperance Legion,
in which we hope to get children
of all denominations. Numbers of
our young boys and girls have
signed the pledge and are going to
be loyal temperance workers. We
have no Suffrage Department, don't
want to vote. perhaps our children
may. What's the use, when we
can make the men vote as we wish?
We meet the first and third Thurs
days in each month, and would be
glad to have our friends drop in at
our meetings, whether they wish
to join or not.

Written for the Reveille.1
It is only just to state that, ow-
ing to some misunderstanding,
Miss Gordon, after completing a
lecture tour, In Louisiana, and al
most within sight of Port Gibson,
went all the way back to New Or
leans Friday, the I2th, and then
came from there to Port Gibson
Saturday, the 18th, to deliver her
message, ard fill her promise to
speak at the court house. She re-
turned to New Orleans Sunday
morn.
It cost her $I2.4o, and tire
some trip. of 40 miles. to do this.
She was assisted only with the small
sum of $50 given by Mrs. Meek
81 90, Mrs. Fox 500, and Mrs.
Montgomery $500.
Her zeal and earnestness, in a
cause which she believes to be
right, merited the respectful audi
ence and hearing she received in
spite of the weather conditions.
sneer, and innuendo.
Hon. John McC. Martin. who
rises to every occasion of worth,
and in whom the public has
never trusted in vain, introduced
Miss Gordon to her listeners.
Whether or not the civilized
world is prepared for woman to
have voice in governmental affairs
is a mooted question.
The Princess, in Tennyson, speaks
"Of those that iron-cramped their women s
feet;
Of lands in which. at the altar, the poor
bride
Gives her harsh groom for bridal git
scourge.
Of living hearts that crack within the fire
Where shoulder their dead desuots; and
of those
Mothers-that all prophetic pity fling
Their pretty maids in the running food,
and swoops
The vulture beak and talon, at the heart
Made for all noble motion; and saw
That equal baseness lived in sleeker times
With smoother men: the old leaven leav-
ened all.
Millions of throats would brawl for civil
rights,
No woman named s
It is owing to evolution and to
