Former Dublin Man Criticised
Californian Prison Officials
And He Is Returned to San
Quentin.
A SECOND PETITION
FOR RELEASE FILED
Friends of Unfortunate Man
Say Alleged Parole Violation
Was Charge Trumped Up by
His Enemies.

Because it is alleged J. Wess Moore,
fornia, delivered speeches criticising
the prison authorities of that state, he
has been placed in prison again at San
Quentin, California.
Mr.. Moore was sentenced to life i'm
prisOnment for murder several years
ago and after serving few years in
the California institution was released
on parole, owing to the gigantic petit
tion signed by California citizens as
we'll as 4 number of his Wayne county
friends.
He Started Missions.
Immediately on his release, he went
on tour over California, organizing
missions for the benefit of released
prisoners. One was established at San
Quentin and preparations for the Or
ganization Of others had been started
According to advices received by his
Wayne county friends the people of
California were much interested in his
work.
1t seems that in his lecture tours in
California he referred to the prison
authorities in spirit which did not
reflect credit on them, according to
one account. According to the other
story the prison authorities charged
Moore with stealing money, which was
a violation of his parole, SO he was
sent back to prison. Wayne county
residents who are interested in his
case, charge that his return to prison
is due to resentment on the part of the
prison authorities.
The exact date OF his arrest for vio-
lation OF his parole and return to pris-
on is not known but it was early this
month.
Many Are Incensed.
The California people seem to have
become much incensed at the action of
prison officials and have started an
other petition to secure his release.
About 5000 persons have signed it, but
upon its presentation a few days ago,
it was placed on file and did not have
the desired effect. However, those in
terested IN Mr.. Moore's welfare believe
that ultimately he will be released.
Upon laving this county and locating
in California, Mr.. Moore took up a
mining claim His claim was jumped
and expostulations with the claim
jumpers and attempts to settle the diff
ficulty resulted in nothing. He
went to the courts and received an un-
favorable decision. He again opened
negotiations with the claim jumpers
and in a dispute arising between the
two parties, Moore killed his opponent
he says in self defense. 1t seems that
the California jury which tried the
case did not accept his plea, and SEN
fenced him to prison for life.

VaIae of Peanuts.

Mr.. H. R. Guthrie went to Clos
ter last Friday to hear Mr.. Beatty,
the government peanut expert.
Mr.. Beatty said that peanuts will
largely take the place of cotton in
the boil weevil section. At pres
ent they are bringing 81 per bush
Ell, and the average crop is 80
bushels per acre, with ton of hay
valued at $40, making the crop
worth $40 per acre. He stated
that the American people eat 26,-
100000 bushels annually and pro-
duce but little over II, 900, 600 bush
els. He promised to visit Port
Gibson next March and interest
our people in peanut culture.
Amite county planted about 5000
acres this year. While the Gloster
oil mill is buying the crop, it is not
crushing the peanuts, because the
demand for them for eating pur-
poses is too great at present.

Che farm,
Farmers. Attention /

Restore your land to its original
condition when fresh, and then
you will have made good your
bank account with the soil, and by
continuing the system you and
your children and your grand-chil-
dren can farm that land for all
time to come and each year gather
bountiful crops and leave a soil
that will produce as much or more
the next year.
The restoring of land will take
time. You did not wear it out in
one year, nor can you fully restore
it in one year. Deeper blowing,
the planting of cover crops to pro-
tect land from winter washing,
cow peas and soy beans alone or
in corn in summer, red /clover,
crimson clover in winter, saving
carefully all manure and putting
it on land, raising more live stock.
These are the things that must be
done. Any farmer can do them.
The important thing is to make a
start and stick to it. You can
write to the agricultural station OF
your state, describe your land, tell
them what you want to do, and
they will take pleasure in outlining
plan that will enable you to get
more each year from your farm
than you are now getting and yet
by rotation of crops build up your
soil. = Memphis Commercial-Ap-
peal.

Prepare for Planting.

The drought has retarded prepa-
ration for tall and winter crops,
but every farmer should have his
seed ready and as soon as we have
a good rain begin at once to pre-
pare the land for oats, wheat, rye,
veteh, clover, rape, etc. Don't
plant on a loose seed bed, but firm
the ground with a roller if you
can't wait for a second rain. 1t is
said that where clover is to be
planted in pea stubble a disc har-
row or heavy drag harrow repeat
edly dragged over the ground is
better than plowing because it is
best not to loosen the ground to
any great depth.

Dalrying in the South.

Dairying is growing in popular
ity among the farmers of the south
ern states. They are learning that
the dairy COW can do for the cotton
grower of the south what she has
done for the wheat grower in the
north, e., increase the fertility OF
the soil in addition to making most
satisfactory returns for labor and
money expended for feed.
The U. S. Department of Agri-
culture has been giving particular
attention to this question in the
southern states the past few years
and a great service has been rem
dered. A great impetus has been
given to the dairy movement until
now there are thousands of inhuen-
tial dairymen singing the praises
of the dairy COW and demonstrating
by actual experiments that dairying
is the salvation of that section OF
the country. National Dairy Un-

bushel.
"Two to three tons of lespedeza
hay can easily be obtained per
acre and readily sold at ten dollars
per ton.
"Cotton is the greatest money
crop in the world, but it is not the
only staple money crop that can
be grown in this vicinity and sold
at tremendous profit. Rice, sug-
ar cane, soy beans and other crops
can be grown and disposed of al a
profit.
"Good pastures, the growing of
grazing crops and teed stuffs of all
kinds and the raising of good stock
such as hogs, sheep, goats, cattle,
mules and horses must now play
very important role in our farming
operations. We will continue to
grow cotton, but on a very much
smaller acreage.
"Let us meet the changed con-
dition by beginning now to plant
fall crops"
The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1910-09-29
Profitable Crops.

Mr.. g., H. Afford, the well
known agriculturist, says:
''I am advising farmers to plant
a large acreage in oats before No
vember 1st, to be followed by peas,
lespedeza, or peanuts. The oats
may be threshed and sold or fed to
stock. The peas may be harvest
ed, threshed and sold. Lespedeza
is a better hay than alfalfa and
may be sold at . good price. Pea
nuts usually sell for about twice as
much per bushel as cotton seed.
The average yield of Spanish pea
nuts per acre is about so bushels
per acre. The peanut hay is in
big demand as feed. Forty bush
els of oats, so bushels of peanuts,
and one ton of peanut hay is GER
tainly profitable return from one
acre in one year. Forty bushels
Of oats and two tons of lespedeza
hay means a large profit on an
acre in one year. Forty bushels
of oats, ten bushels of peas, and
one ton of peavine hay means
about fifty dollars per acre per
year. The oats may also be fol-
lowed by sorghum or corn"

Facts Worth Knowing.

Mr.. G. H. Afford gives the fol-
lowing:
Grape planted in rows and cul-
tivated aHores a most excellent
winter and spring pasture for hogs.
Rape and red clover mixed furnish
hogs good grazing until about July
first.
"Every planter ought to plant a
few acres of wheat in October. The
wheat as well as the oats will stand
rather close grazing until about
March 18th. Take the stock off at
that time and no harm to the crop
will result.
"Forty bushels of corn and ten
bushels of peas grown in the corn,
means about thirty-fve dollars pei

Save Manure.

This cannot be too strongly i'm
pressed upon the minds of Clai-
borne land owners. Our soil has
been impoverished by years of un-
profitable cultivation, and we
should hasten to build it up. Cows
should be penned at night, and all
of the manure thus secured and all
obtained from horse-stables should
be spread upon the poorest places
in the tiIlable fields. Add to this
a crop of clover this winter, and
note the difference in yield next
year. Try it as an experiment; if
it proves satisfactory, do the same
thing next winter and supplement
your work by hauling as much
leaf mold as you can get.

Ths Worth d } BOy.

What is boy worthf What is
an education WORTH An Indiana
jury awarded $500. g9 for the kill
ing of a boy. A friend of mine
who is superintendent in West
Virginia, called that award an out
rage. asked him why. He an
swered: "To say nothing of the
value of the boys personality and
all that a boy is to his father and
mother and home, the commercial
value OF boys time at school is
more than the award of that In
diana Jury" I asked him how he
made the calculation. He said:
"You find the value of boys
time at school by subtracting the
earnings of a life of uneducated
labor from the earnings of life of
educated labor" Then he gave
me a calculation that / have used
this year before every institute, for
l am anxious to get it into the
daily papers, to have it carried to
every school room and put upon
every blackboard, so that the pu-
pills may carry it home and discuss
it with their parents.
He said: eff an educated man
earns 81. so day for 800 days IN
a year he does very well; and if he
keeps it up forty years he will earn
81. sox3oox4o, or $4,000. An ed
ucated man is not usually paid by
the day, but by the month and by
the year. If you will strike an av-
srage of the earnings of educated
men, beginning with the President
of the United States, who earns
$50. 600 a year, the presidents OF
the large railroad companies and
of large insurance companies, and
run down the scale until you come
to the lower walks in point of earn
ings among educated men, you will
admit that $1,000 is low average
for the earnings of educated labor.
For 40 years, you have $4,000 as
the earnings of an educated man.
Subtract $4,000 from $4,000 and
the difference, or $22, 900, must
represent the value of boys time
at school getting an education.
You will admit that man who
works with his hands at unskilled
labor puts forth as much muscular
effort as man who earns a liveli.
hood by his wits and education.
Now, if $4,000 represents the
value of the time boy spends at
school getting an education, what
is the value of day spent at
school1
The average school life of every
boy and girl in Massachusetts, is
seven years of zoo days each; let
us say that it takes four years TO
get a good education. Reckoning
eleven years of 2oc days each, you
will find that the 22oo days at
school are equal to $22, 900, and
a simple division on the black
board will bring it home to the
comprehension of a boy that each
day at school, properly spent,
must be worth ten dollars.
One director asks whether it is a
violation of the compulsory law if
a iarmer keeps at home his eleven
year old to plow, because it costs
