CHICAGO, Oct. 20.-Fears that ?
rainstorn, threatened by the United
States Weather Bureau would pre-
vent the first Western game between
the Philadelphia American team and

In spite Of this no hopes are held

Special attention is called to the
lectures by DR.. Hulley. He is
one of the most eminent and popu-
liar educational lecturers in the
South. and no one can afford to
miss any of his lectures.
Our first plan was to have SER
mon each sunday in the High
School auditorium. chiefly for the
benefit of those in attendance on
the normal, as our churches will
not accommodate their usual con-
gregations and four or five hum
dred teachers in addition. But in
order that the people of Brook
haven may also have an opportun-
4 ity to hear the eminent ministers
who have agreed to preach for us
we have made arrangements for
the use of the Opera House for
4 these special sermons. All the
churches and the people generally
are cordially invited to attend these
meetings.
We again call attention to the
manual training department Of the
normal. This will be conducted
in Calisthenics Hall and will be
lopen to inspection of visitors each
day Be sure to see the excellent
work that the pupils Of Yazoo City
schools have on exhibition there.
lit is hoped that many of our own
boys will take this course while
they have the opportunity.

partment.

Field Notes from United States Demon
stratiOR Work.
BY EDeAR GREEN, sPEcIAL AeENT.


Give your cotton rapid, shallow
cultivation and destroy weevils and
punctured squares as fast as they
appear.
Some cotton is a little late. but
the weeviI is appearing three weeks
later than we might normally ex-
pect. They appeared at Natchez
last year BY the 10th Of May. This
gives us at least an even chance.
1t is now quite evident that some
shiftless people are going to charge
up the results Of their laziness to
the door of the boil weevil. but
they can't fool anybody. Get a
move on you, or 60 hunrgy.
Out of sixty farms visited recent
ly only one man had been foolish
enough to pillow up cotton on ac-
count of the weevil. He ploWed
up only three acres.
Some people unfortunately CAM t
read, some won't read, and some
lie bout what they do read. but the
farmers of Lincoln county. as a
class are informing themselves
about their business and are sure
to win in this fight.
That poster gotten up by The
Brookhaven Board Of Trade is a
good one. it contains the milk in
the cocoanut and secretary Conant
is putting them to the right spot.
While the shlftless fall off the
Christmas Tree and call Il
can't the song Of Lincoln coun-
ty's coming prosperity is being
sung by the whir of the self binder
and the thresher, by the farmers
in the fields and by the bright, in
telligent school boys and girls that
have gone out to join them. We
are going to win.
j. M. s. Reeves. near Norfield,
is cultivating over thirty acres Of
corn in one plat under government
cultural methods. This corn has
been planted in checks, is being
cultivated fat and without hoeing,
using shallow cultivation. He ex-
poets to do some expert breeding
and furnish some first class seed
corn next year. But close by him
neighbor had barred off knee
high corn with turning plough,
had turned his horse loose and was
scraping away the remaining dirt
with hoe
One Of our most enthusiastic
farmers is Mr.. William Brown. an
eighty three year old patriarch near
Mt. Pleasant. He has two fine
horses and is still able to do full
days blowing. His methods ate
progressive.
Some of the most striking fea-
lures Of the farming in this section
on toward Auburn and Arlington
are the great number of peanut and
rice patches being planted. In
nearer Brookhaven. we find more
oats, sofa beans and clover. II
toward Wesson quite a lot Of wheai
and rice have been planted. The
yield Of wheat is entirely satisfac'
tory.
