well. / would suggesr that you

you can hardly afford to pump
your water more than IS to so feet
elevation. A Mr.. Bewey at Gen.
terville, Miss, raised one or two
very good crops of rice by putting
a dam across a small stream that
runs through his land, thus, in this
way, securing head water enough
to irrigate all his bottom land
along the creek banks. His only
expense was the construction of
the dam and the work in looking
after the levees and irrigation, and
/ understand that he made very
good profit on the crop. Whether
you decide to try a small area un-
der irrigation or under cultivation
without irrigation, / would advise
you'to use the Honduras variety,
that is ordinarily cultivated in the
alluvial lands of this state.
"Another fact that l would ask
you to take into consideration be-
fore taking up the rice proposition
is, that there is a large territory in.

Red river bottoms that is we'll

can irrigate at a minimum expense
and produce maximum yield;
and the boil weevil is going to
cause a great many of them to
grow rice as long as the prices are
high enough to tempt them to rice
culture. 1t is very probable,
therefore, that prices that are some

past, will prevail in the future, un-
less the consumption rapidly in

will find very much encouragement
to go into the rice business on the

your problem will be rather in the
production of live stock, forage

your own experiment station to ad-
dress them at Starkville along this

1t has been tested over and over
again that there is no pressure to
our water obtained by wells, con-
frming the early geological sur
veys of this state. Hence it is out
of the question to depend on wells

contain mineral salts injurious to
rice. There are three things rice
cannot stand: Ist, alkalies; and,
salt water, and 3rd, freshets. |

GRAND. JURY REPORT
To the Hon. Henry c. Mounger,
Judge of the Ninth Judicial Cir
cult District:
SIR After listening attentively
to the able charge delivered ito us
by your honor, we have repaired to
our quarters where we have exam
ined seventy-nine witnesses and
investigated forty cases, with the
result that we have turned into this
court twenty true bills, ignored
fourteen cases and disposed of six
cases referred to US by former
grand iuries, thus leaving the dock
ct clear for the June, 1910, term of
this court. As was our duty, we
have examined the books of the
several county officials and hud
them very neatly kept, as well as,
to the best of our ability to deter
mine, in correct account, and the
funds of the county turned into its
proper channels.
The books of the magistrates we
find to give correct statement of
the cases tried, and show disposi-
ton of funds and offences therein
described.
We have investigated the county
poor house and note that the in
mates are well supplied with food
and shelter. We wish to direct
the attention of the board of super
visors to two leaky roofs of said
p roperty.
The county Jail we have also
investigated and find this famohs
resort in good sanitary condition,
and that the prisoners are well.
cared for by our worthy sheriff.
The only fault that we find with
this institution is thar the boarders
are too content.
In our deliberations We have
wrangled much on matters con-
cernIng the working of the public
highways, and there appearing a
wide difference of opinion as to
their condition, we are at loss to
decide, intelligently, as to the
proper course to pursue. We are
satisfied, however, that the roads
should all be in better condition,
taking into consideration the out

WAHIAWA ELECTRIC PLANT.
The Garden Island, Kauai's little
newspaper, contains the following
concerning the addition to be made
to the pumping appliances of Nc
Bryde plantation, mention of which
was made in these. columns last week:
The machinery for the new unit
for the Wainiha plant of the Kauai
Electric Company has all been ordered
and will be placed in position by next
May or June, in time for the dry
season when the water is most ur-
gently needed on McBryde planta-
tim. When this third unit, which will
increase the power of the plant by
one-half, is in operation, it is expect
ed that the additional water to be
pumped will supply the present de-
ficiency which exists on the planta-
ton, and there will be water enough,
with the other improvements which
are now in process of construction, to
supply the whole plantation.
In order to convey heavy machin-
cry up Wafniha Valley to the power

TOO LAZY TO GROW COTTON.

The British Government has failed
in it's attempt to mak Egypt a rival
OF our South in cotton growing. \
few years 6 considerable uncasiness
was felt in this country lest the Brit
ish would be able to develop the in
dustry along the Nile to the extent
that it would hurt our cotton growing.
But after spending millions of dollars
irrigating areas and in experimental
work the crop last year was smaller
than the yea before.
LaZineSs on the part of the natives
is the principal cause. They will not
work. but prefer to steal or beg for a
living. One enterprising planter took
negroes in the hope hat they would
make ideal labOrers on his cotton
plantations but in a year or two they
got as lazy as the natives and also re-
fused to work.
In that country a strip Of cotton IS
all that a man needs in the way Of
clothing and as all he has to do to
secure his food is to steal a few ba-
nanas every day work seems to him 2
useless effort.
The British Government is very
much discouraged over the expert
ment so far and it looks as though the
future is not likely to hold any fur

MIR J. w. Toney, supervisor for
.b. Singer Sewing Machine Company
for North and South Carolina, while
IN -he city a few days ago incidentally
m.Dtioned to a Post representative an
observation made in a cotton field on
A., Isaac McClemmen's farm in
richmond county during a recent
,.;slr which ma prove Of intense in
forest to the cotton w of North
Car,Una. The farm in question lies
near the Arson county line and is fine
carton land. Mr.. McClemmen this
YEAR has especially fine looking cot
+on and is justly proud of the crop.
We took Mr.. Toney over his field to
chow him the cotton, which was full
Of blooms and bolls. Mr.. Toney
nntjred some of the bolls appeared
IN be rather in spots. One of these
,ras pulled off and examined, when
the decayed part was found to be
fuU of small worms, Wriggling and
working the same as seen in decay
ing animal matter. Some of the
hollis were affected very slightly, while
as much as half Of the others were
6eraycd. The part affected turned
black at first and had much the APP
naarance of a bruise. An investiga-
tjoD Of the field showed h a fully 5
ner cent Of the bolls were affected in
PC 80
this manner.
MIR. Toney found the cotton on Col.
Dorkrrv's farm near by in the same
condition.
MIR McCIemmen became alarmed
al the discovery, which means d big
loss i'm the yield of his cotton. The
question very naturally arose. is this
the work of the boil weeVil? The cot
ton is blighted from some cause. The
damaged bOlls are alive with vermin
of some sort. EgEs from some source
have been deposited in the cotton
bolIs in some way, else there would
be no little worms. What is it, is
the question:. The boil weevil has
appeared as far north as Alabama
and seems to be advancing steadily
over the great cotton belt of the
South. 1t started only a few years
ago from it's Texas home and has al
ready established itself in several
neighhoring States. May it not be
that a few of these w~eevils, in some
~unaccountable have reached
the State2
This is not given to startle the cot
ton farmers of North Carolina, but
as a matter of news. It would, how
CATION prove tina the farms mention
ed are infested with the WeeVil.

damaged boIls and sent them to the
