STRUCK BY TRAIN.
Negro Sleeping on Tract Probab-
Iy Fatally Hurt.

Last Friday morning the bum
bic bee," in charge of Conductor
Waller, struck a negro man just
north of Oaklawn and inflicted
probably fatal injury. The man
seemed to be sleeping in the tall
grass by the side of the track, and
was probably aroused by the noise
of the approaching train. He
jumped up, in dazed condition.
Just in time to he struck by the
engine. The train was stopped
and the injured man, suffering from
bad cash on the side of his head
and possibly fractured skull, was
taken to Vicksbvrg for surgical
treatment.

The Worlds Work has timely
editorial upon the efficiency of the
agriculturalist in the South as
against that of the farmer of the
North.
Iowa receives SI,o88 year for
agricultural products for every
farm laborer within her borders.
New Hampshire receives $477'
North Carolina S149, and South
Carolina S147. Continuing the
Worlds Work says:
"The reason for this discrepancy
is not in the soil, for-whether or
not the soil of the Carolinas is cap
able of as much as that of Iowa-it
certainly is as rich as that of New
Hampshire. The land and the
climate are favorable. The fault
lies with the man, and not inhere-
ntly with him, but with his training
and his methods. With no olarger
agricultural population than she
now has, the South could produce
three times her present output II
her population were as efficient as
that of New Hampshire. DR.. Sea-
man A. Knapp of the department
of agriculture believes that it can be
increased eightfold. And there are
enough instances of the large re-
suits obtained from proper cultlva-
ton to justify Mr.. KnaPp's oPto-
mism."
We are coming fast down here,
and within ten years we will not
only have thoroughly diversified
crops in the south, but the tarm' a
long with law and medicine and
politics, will command the atten-
tion of the educated brain. Our
farmers have worked against con-
ditions that were terribly disheart-
sning. We have gone far enough
to demand for the agricultural col
lege as much attention from the
state as the university, where dead
Latin, dead Greek, dead Philoso-
ply and dead geometry are dlshed
out.-Commercial Appeal.

Tbs following succession of crops
for hogs is recommended by the
Louisiana Experiment Station:
Sow oats the latter part OF Sep
tember for fall and winter grazing,
counting about fifteen or twenty
head of hogs per acre, Sow red
clover or crimson clover in Octob-
er to be pastured after the oats,
late in January, and through late
February, March and April. Sow
sorghum in early March to which
transfer hogs from clover. After
harvesting oats, plant Mexican
June corn and cow peas in a Por-
ton of the land and peanuts and
sweet potatoes on the remainder.
Use the corn and a portion IN pea
nuts for finishing off the hogs, for
market, or slaughter at home.

BANKS PROSPEROUS.
cIaIborne's Institutions Do Not
Indicate Hard Times.

Indicate Hard Times.
The three banks of Claiborne
county do not indicate that there
is shortage of money here. Ac-
cording to statements published
last week, there is on deposit $780,
.835.32. The three institutions,
with combined capital stock of
$I5o, 600 and oweing only $1,000,
are doing total business of $824,-
so1.1I. It will be seen that this
business, amounting to nearly a
million dollars, Is practically being
done by home capital. The sur
plus and undivided pro6ts-earned
money-total $8o.46o.79. How
ever, one of the best features con-
nected with the statements is the
fact that but little of the money is
loaned to stockholders of the insti-
tutions, feature that should ap-
peal to every business man. Though
$584,74S.67 is loaned to private in
dividuals and firms, only $751; ,o37.15
is in the hands OF the stockholders.
On the whole, this is fine show
ing and every person in the county
Should be proud Of it. Banks are
our indispensable allies. and we
should give them every assistance.

The following is a summary to
Farmers Bulletin gao:
In 1902 the farm described in
this bulletin produced one-fourth
bale of cotton and IS bushels of
corn to the acre.
In 1906, after a crop of cowpeas,
it produced one-half bale of cotton
and 81 bushels of corn to the acre.
In 1907, after crop of cowpeas,
it produced one-half bale of cotton
and 81 bushels of corn to the acre;
after cowpeas and 300 pounds OF
commercial fertilizer, nearly three
fourths of bale of cotton to the
acre; and after cowpeas and clover
continuously for two years one
bale of cotton to the acre.
Planting cotton and corn in
check rows and cultivating both
ways saves both seed and labor
and on level does away with chop
ping and hoerng.
Cowpeas have been the most i'm
portant factor in building up fer
tility of the soil
The pea thrasher has made it
possible to utilize the cowpea not
only for feed and seed but also as
a source of considerable revenue.
Planting cowpeas in rows about
two feet apart saves seed and brings
greater returns in yields of seed
and hay.
Crimson clover, bur and white
clover, and the vetches are success
full as winter cover crops when in
oculation has been thoroughly es-
tablished.
Early planting in the autumn is
absolutely necessary for the best
results with winter crops.
1t requires two to three years TO
thoroughly inoculate worn-out soils
with such legumes as have never
before been grown on them.
The peanut is worthy of more
general cultivation throughout the
Southern States, especially in the
boil weevil district, where it will
in many cases be found more prof
liable cotton.
The uses of peanuts as gener-
al farm crop throughout the South
ern States are becoming more num-
erous, especially as a means of pro-
viding suitable forage for stock
during the short winter period.
The demand for peanuts to be
used in the preparation of human
foods is constantly increasing.
The United States is a heavy
buyer of peanut oil that is produc-
ed abroad, while there are thous-
ands of acres of poor lands in the
Southern States that would pro-
duce enough peanuts to keep the
cotton seed oil mills running and
furnish more than enough oil for
home consumption.
The peanut is a soil builder and
renovator. If included in the crop
rotation and properly handled. the
land will increase IL productive
ness.
While the average yield of pea
nuts is only about "a bushels an
acre, with proper methods yield
of 90 bushels of peanuts and one
and one-half tons of hay may be
reasonably expected. AS many as
100 bushels of peanuts and two
tons OF hay have been produced to
the acre. Farmers Bulletin 3S6.
