many evidences of substantial pros

and to the denizens of the soil, the
trip was a confirmation of their be-

MATTERS Of INTEREST TO FARMERS.

have been called for, and it is eX-
pected that there will be alively con-
test between the various sections of
the county to capture the new institu-
ton.
Prof. Powers is much gratified over
this action of the Harrison county
board, because of the fact that the
body on former occasion refused to
make an appropriation for this pur-
pose, or to give the proposition IA
vorable consideration in any form.
During the summer the department
of education expects to secure the es-
adjustment of a goodly number of
agricultural high schools and at the
next legislative session Supt. Powers
will recommend that the state allow
ance for these schools be increased
from $1,000 to $4,000.

$4,000 FARMING BET.
Novel Contest Arranged Between the
United States and Canada.

The relative merits of farming by
irrigation and by natural rainfall and
whether or not the United States or
Western Canada can produce the larg-
err crop of oats, is to be, decided for a
bet of $4,000 in cash, according to
the terms of contest which have just
been arranged between Laramie, Wyo.,
and Lethridge, Alberta, farmers. The
$4,000 has been posted and all the
details of the contest have been ar
ranged, says Cheyenne, Wyo., dis
patch to the New York Press.
Colonel E. J. Bell, of Laramie, own
er of the largest farm in Wyoming
put up the $4,000 which says that
irrigation and the United States can
do better than Canada. A syndicate
of farmers around Lethridge, Alberta,
headed by Prof. w. H. Fairchild, of
that city, has covered Col. Bells mon
ey, and says that natural rainfall and
Canadian soil can raise more oats
to the acre than can Colonel Bell,
Wyoming and irrigation.
On the American side oats which
will be entered in the contest will be
grown by Colonel Bell himself on his
great Laramie Plains farm. This farm
is more than 1000 feet above sea level.
on the western slope of the first range
of the Rocky Mountains and depends
entirely upon irrigation for its moist
ure during the summer. For years
Colonel Bell has paid particular at
tentfon to the raising of oats. and he

holds a record of 1877 bushels to the
acre. By carefully selecting the seed,
especially preparing the soil and close
ly watching his bitches to see that |
the necessary amount of water reaches |
his oats at the needful time, Colonel
Bell says he can considerably increase
the yield of his oat fields.
In Canada the prize oats. will he
grown by farmers around Lethridge,
with Prof. w. II. Fairchild in charge
of the preparations and the harvest
Prof. Fairchild has for years studied
the crops in Southern Alberta and
many of the great yields of whea:
and oats from the Canadian fields are
due to the adoption of his theories
by the farmers Of his section.
There are only two rules to the con-
test. One of them is that the yiel3
from 100 acres in one body must be
considered. The other rule is that
the oats entered must be STANDARD"
grade, or better. Either contestant
may prepare the ground, SOW his seed
cultivate and hervest in any manner
he chooses. Nothing but the result
from 100 acres will count in awarding
the prize. The Alberta farmers them
selves are something in the way of oat
raisers, and Government reports from
that province show that yields of 120
and 125 bushels per acre are comm Oh.
Oat straw five feet in height is the
ordinary, according to these reports.
The contest is to be decided by the
OFFICIALS of the National Corn Show.
Harvest in Wyoming ocurs very late
In August and in Alberta in Septem-
Der, so that the winner will not be
until probably the first
week in Octo3er.

Cotton.

The fact that cotton can be RAISED

planted early and intensely cultivated
has been practically demonstrated b,
r. j. Birmingham, of Grenville Sta
| ton, Tensas parish, La. A stack OF
| cotton which he claims to be fan
sample of his crop was brought to
Natchez by Mr.. Birmingham yesterday
and is now on exhibition in the Dem
ocrat business office
The plant seems to be strong and
healthy and is covered with fruit.
There are nine full grown bolls which
have developed so far as to be be-
yond all damage by the pest and sew
eral smaller ones which is claimed will
soon be safe. The plant is covered
with blooms and squares and although
it shows signs of having been dam,
aged by the weevil, it seems to have
been fruiting faster than the pest can
work
Mr.. Birmingham stated that he
planted early, the seed being of an
early variety and had worked his crop
increasingly up to date and will CON
tinue to do SO as long as he. can run
a pillow between the rows. He claims
to make a half crop.
He stated that his farm Is in the
center of the weeyil infested district
and that last year farmers in his COM
suffered considerably from the
ravages of the bug. 1t is in a low del
ia county on the banks of the Ten
sas river and surrounded by a forest
of heavy timber. all Of which is
thought to be as extremely favorable
to the propagation of the weevil. He
feels very much encouraged and says
that with proper cultural methods the
boil weevil can be beaten and King

The action was taken in executive
session and members of the commit
tee, as well as members of the Jack
son local, fatty refuse to discuss the
matter, OF to give an inkling of the
reasons that prompted the action.
Ia From an authentic source. however,
it is learned that a meeting of the ex-
ecutive committee charges were pre-
ferred against Col. Haynie, backed
up by documentary proof of such con-
elusive nature, that in the opinion
of members, there was no alternative
save summary EXPULSION.
Col. Haynie was formerly editor of
the Farmers Union Advocate official
organ of the Mississippi division. He
also served as member of the lecture
bureau, and was one of the most ac-
tive organizers in the division.
The first breach between Col Hay
ME and other members of the organi-
cation occurred shortly after his re-
tirement from the editorship of the
official organ when he launched
scheme to form a negro branch of the
Farmers Union. This did not meet
with the approval of the members of
the executive committee, who flatly
refused to have anything to do with
negro organization, or to give it
recognition of any sort.
