Cotton Diseases in Mississippi.

"Cotton Diseases in Mississippi" is
the title of an interesting bulletin is
sued by the Mississippi Agricultural
experiment station. 1t is the work of
Professor R. P. Hibbard, Phi. D., and
is of especial interest to the farmers
of the State who are now making a
more thorough study of the cotton
plant and the diseases with which it is
likely to be affected than ever before
in the history of the cotton-growing
industry.
Prof Hibbard deals at length with
the various diseases, their causes, the
symptoms and the methods of treat
ment. He deals especially with cot
ton wilt, anthracite, cotton rust, red
rust, sore skin, bacterial blight, root
rot, boil shedding, root knee, root gals
root nematodes, root rot, leaf blight
and areolite mildew.
In each instance the disease is care
fully described, the symptoms being
set forth so clearly and concisely that
any farmer can recognize it, followed
with comprehensive description ot
the approved methods of the treatment

What Delta Soil Will Grow.

Capt. w. A. Everman,
Greenville, Miss,
Dear Capt. Everman:
Referring to your letter of July Is,
asking statement covering my exper-
ience and observation as to what the
Delta lands will produce in other crops
than cotton, the following estimate is
based on four and one-half years ex-
perience on the 20O-acre Delta Station
farm at Stoneville, and also, on my OBJ
servation of similar land throughout
the Delta.
Alfalfa grows naturally on all stiff
clayey "Hbuckshot' land. 1t needs no
artificial nourisbing or incubation on
this class of soil. It may be expected
to Weld from to ) tons Of dry hay per
acre, according to the fertility of the
land and the season. On the loan
land it grows equally well for at least
two wears. but this character of land
should be inoculated with soil from an
established alfalfa field.
Red Glover grows well on the stiff
land and may be expected to yield
from 212 to 312 tons per acre. 1t also
does well on the medium heavy soil.
On the very sandy soil which is devoid
of humus from continuous cropping in
cotton. the hot dry weather of August
and September will thin the stand.
However, clover will also do excellent
lv on this land when it is supplied with
humus.
COw-peas grow splendidly and yield
from 5 to Is bushels of seed and from
l15 to 215 tons of hay. This crop
may be planted after oats or wheat IS
harvested; also, peas will make full
crop of seed and hay if sown in corn
Just previous to the last working.
From a crop of peas sown in this way,
we made $1O20 worth of pork, count
ing live weight at &c per pound.
The hogs were turned into the field
after the corn was housed. After a
corn field is thus grazed off with hogs,
the pea vines, stalks, and the drop
pings from the hogs turned under puts
fine lot of fertility and humus in the
soil. The peas do not injure the corn
crop. The fact that the two crops
may be grown together and handled
to such advantage is very favorable
to permanent agriculture in the Delta.
Soy beans grow quite well in the
Delta. They yield in seed from 10 to
20 bushels and from ~ to 212 tons
of hay They may be handled in the
same manner as the peas
Oats grow well and yield from 30 to
60 bushels. Wheat has done well for
us. A yield of from Is to 80 bushels
NAV be expected. Wheat will also
furnish excellent winter and spring
grazing.
Hairy vetch may be sOwn in the fall
with oats. The oats and vetch make
a good quality of hay. We made 212
tons per acre this season, and the land
is now in corn and peas, which promise
full crop Our yield of Irish pota
toes has averaged about 80 bushels
Sweet potatoes yield from 200 TO 3OC
bushels per acre.
Many other crops grow well in the
Delta The light, or loan, land Is
good for truck of all kinds. Peaches
do well on this land We are also
growing grapes successfully, and the
apple orchard promises well.
With best wishes,
Very truly,

The greatest crops of corn and oats
on record find prices only about ID per
cent. lower than last year, and the
slightly smaller cotton crop finds prices
s. much higher as to make the business
world forget. for the time being the
boil weevil in the cotton fields. 1t Is
trne that only about per cent. Of the
corn crop is exported whether in the
shape of grain or in grain products

crops will soon compel the railroads to

OLD ABDUL
IS DEAD,
IS RUMOR
(By United Press Leased Wlre)


CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. S.-A
persistent rumor that Abdul Ham
i'd, deposed sultan, is dead, which
has been widely circulated for the
past week and as widely believed
despite denials from official
sources. was given added color to-
day, when it was autharitatively
announced that Abdul's illness had
taken serious turn. Theory is
advanced that the Turkish officials
are preparing the minds of Alb
dul'S followers for the worst. A
sudden announcement of his death,
they believe, would be followed by
serious disorders. Rumor says that
Abdul was poisoned. No one
knows his exact whereabouts.
Even the guards who were placed
over the Salonika villa following
their former masters disposition,
have not seen him. Many who do
not believe the poison story are
convinced that the ex-sultan was
smuggled away to Africa after the
recent reactionary movement. !.

WH|1WAsH
APPLIED
T0H0GAN
One-Sided Trial of Officer
Accused Of Accepting
Graft.

The whitewash brush was In evil
dence again at the city hall this
morning when Officer Walter A.
Hogan, accused during the testi-
mony Of Mrs. Libby Morgan be-
fore the city council on the SuIli-
van case Of having accepted graft
money from girls living in Mrs.
Morgan's house at 1La Front street,
was given q hearing and the board
took under advisement the ques-
tion of what should be done with
the case.
The trial was farcica1, no direct
evidence accusing Hogan being ad-
duced, and Mrs. Morgan refusing
to appear before the commission,
she knowing that her evidence
would be discred.ted, and prefer
ing to tell her story before the
grand jury on January 16.
No effort was made to show that
Hogan had ever taken money from
any Of the girls in Mrs. Morgan's
house, although a short excerpt
from her testimony before the
council was read. showing that she
had testified that she, herself, had
never paid Hogan any money.
HOGAN ON STAND.
Hogan was put on the stand and
testified that he had known Libby
Morgan but slightly. He had been
at her home several times, but
only on business. Twice he had
been there to see If the place was
occupied by fallen women, and on
one occasion he had found Mrs.
Morgan alone. He declared that
he had never accepted any money
from Mrs. Morgan, and in this
statement he was borne out by the
sworn testimony of the woman.
HE WAS NOT ASKED. HOW
EVER, IF HE HAD OR HAD NOT
ACCEPTED MONEY FROM ANY
OF THE GIRLS IN MRS. NOR
CAMS HOUSE.
Other witnesses called testified
only to the ill-repute of the various
lodging houses conducted by Libby
Morgan and to the good character
of Hogan. Detective Alex McDon-
aid testified that Hogan was "as
good as any man on the force,
morally.
At conclusion of the testimony
Attorney Nuzus, pho appeared on
behalf of Hogan, made short ad-
dress, and the commissioners took
the case under advisement. In
view of the evidence, they can do
nothing but apply the whitewash
and that is all they were expect
ed to do.
