PLANTING WINTER WHEAT
The Manufacturers Record Talks
of What South Can Do.

Several weeks ago THE DEMOCRAT
STAR told its thousands Of readers
that concerted effort was being
made 10 the upper portion OF Jackson
county and the lower edge OF the new
county OF George to re-introduce the
profitable raising OF winter wheat.
Mr. Henry Fryer was sponsor for the
first announcement given the general
public Of this determination. Ia its
issue of October 81, last, the Manu-.
facturers Record has the following to
say on the same project, incidentally
paying we'll deserved.compliment to
a hustling and progressive citizen OF
Pascagoula:
Mr.. Charles E. Chidsey OF Pasca.
goula, Miss, who is doing aggressive
work for the development OF his i'm.
mediate section, quotes Mr.. j. H.
Cook OF Lucedale, Miss, as follows
"You and the Manufacturers Record
are responsible for new and i'm
portant movement 10 George county.
For, Ia your letter In the Manufac.
turers Record on the Pascag0ula
Northern railroad, you suggested that
winter wheat could be successfully
grown on the high tablelands of our
county. We have taken you at your
word, have organized a wheat club at
Lucedale, have bought the seed wheat,
and next month IS acres will be sown
In wheat One member OF the club
alone will plant six acres as an ex.
pertinent, so you must consider your.
selves responsible for the results"
This experiment will be watched
with great interest. In the present
year Mississippi raised but $4,000
bushels Of wheat. That was more
than twice as much as was raised 10
1909, but only circumstance com.
pared with the production OF 579,452
bushels in 1860. What Mississippi
did so years ago on this line surely
may be bettered. AS matter OF
fact, the whole south could do better
10 wheat raising than IL is doing. In
the past so years the production Of
wheat 10 the country, not including
the south, increased from 5000, 600
bushels to 6O6,00O,000 bushels, or
nearly five times, while the $4,000, 900
bushels grown this year 10 the south
are less than twice as much as the
As, 900, 900 bushels grown In 1850. Viz
GINA and West Virginia today are
growing only 100000 bushels more
than the l3,O00,0 900 bushels that we're
grown 10 the same territory so years
ago. The past Is years have been
marked By notable tendency OF re.
turn 10 the south to the diversified.
tion In agriculture which char.
acterized many portions OF that region
before the war. Marvellous as has
been the advance 10 this respect, the
full capabilities have not yet been
realized. The Mississippi experiment,
though, is a hopeful sign OF the
times.

zaelle and Mrs. Strobbe when asked
to do so by Strobbe. This would

To Have Four Year Audit.
The board has decided to have the
books of the county officers. covering
the last four years audited by an .ex-
pert. 1t is most likely that P. G. Rem
wick of Kansas City will be engaged
to make the audit. The examination
will cost the county about $500 and
will take from three to four months
to complete. For a number of years
past the auditing has been done by
members of the board and the super
visors feel that as there are number
of county officers whose terms expire
this year the books used by them dur
ing the last four years ought to be
gone over by an expert to check them
up and remove any doubt as to errors
in them.

$1,000 TO MAG|LL
BY COUNTY BOARD
Sum Is Appropriated to Employ
Assistance in Insurance
Prosecutions.
AFTER CORPORATION TAX
School Authorities of Two Cities In
vited TO Cooperate With the
Officials.

Upon the recommendation of the jul
dietary committee the board of super
visors voted this morning to allow
States Attorney L. NJ. Magill the sum
of $1,000 from the fees of his office
with which to employ assistance in
prosecuting and carrying on the fra
ternal insurance cases which are now
before the grand jury. Mr.. Magill ask
ed for $1,000, but the board felt that
economy, demanded that this amount
be cut down considerably, and it was
done.
Another recommendation of the com
mittee was to the effect that the cities
OF Rock Island and Moline and the
school boards of those two cities be
asked to unite with the county in pay
ing for counsel 10 defend the county in
the injun ction cases which are being
brought to keep the county from col
lecting the corporation tax levied by
the county authorities. This report
was also adopted and the judiciary
committee was instructed to wait upon
the school boards and the city coun-
ellis and make the request for aid.
Minor Matters Up.
Mrs. Sloan, Mrs. Barnhart and Miss
Rooney, the latter head nurse at the
city hospital, Moline, and the other two
interested in visiting nurse work in
Moline, appeared before the board this
morning and made plea for the es-
tablishing of matron or nurse at the
county infirmary. 1t was pointed out
that the institution can be made much
more economical through the work
done by nurse, who would be able to
prevent considerable sickness at the
place.
DR.. Arthur Leopold was appointed by
the board to serve as poor physician in
Moline, and the report of DR.. Perry
Vessel, retiring poor physician, was
presented and approved. Bills from
the county infirmary, amounting in all
to nearly $4,000, were reported on IA
vorably by the committee to whom
they were referred, and the board or
dered them allowed.
This afternoon DR.. J. c. Souders was
reappointed to serve as physician for
the poor in Rock Island.
Change in Election Precincts.
The board ordered several changes
to be made in election precincts, one
of the changes being IN this city and
the other in Hampton. At the latter
place fifth precinct was added, the
territory being taken away from the
one which was the fourth IN this city
the change was in the Third ward.

1t was announced today that the
Rock Island county grand jury
would take a recess after hearing
the testimony of o. B. Ryon, spec
ial attorney employed by the Illi-
nois state insurance department. Mr..
Ryon was summoned to tell what he
knew of the merging of the Frater-
nal Tribunes and the American Home
Circle and what measures, if any,
were taken by him to prevent the
combining of the two societies, pro-
ceedure that resulted in the footing
of the funds of the latter.
The jury will go on recess to per-
NIT States Attorney L. NJ Magill
personally to conduct the prosecu-
ton of John w. Halves, under in
dictment for murder, in the circuit
court. Mr.. MagiIl stated he expected
the jury would remain in session the
greater part of the summer on the
fraternal insurance investigation.
Story Told by Pfouts.
1t Is reported that EVIDENCE sufficient
to convict every man involved in the
fDoting of the fraternal insurance So
cieties of the state, and particularly
of the Fraternal Tribunes, was given
to the Rock Island county grand jury
yesterday afternoon by Lucius Pfouts,
examiner of the state insurance depart
meut. States Attorney L. NJ. Magill
declared Mr.. Pfouts' testimony was
sensational.
1t leaked out that J. r. B. VanCleave
of the Lincoln bank, Springfield, was
paid 2 per cent for collecting the Fra
ternal Tribunes' reserve fund from the
Chicago Title & Trust company in Chi
cago and placing it in the Lincoln bank.
The reserve fund was s57, 1000. 1t is
reported Thomas W. Wilson, in ex-
PLANTATION of this payment to Van
Cleave said it was necessary to Sc
cure the services OF an influential man
to collect the reserve fund
1t was after the fund was in Van
Cleave's bank that it melted away.
Surprising facts were brought out by
the testimony of Pfouts. An exam
iner for the department, at the sug-
gestion of state superintendent of in
surance, Fred w. Potter. he reported
on the condition of the American
Home Circle and Fraternal Tribunes,
before, during, and after merger. The
