yield in this vicinity. He gave figures
showing the result of the planting
number OF varieties, explaining that
all represented 227o plants to an acre
that is the plants 4 feet apart. The
Stone variety was used to check all
others. every third plant being a

Organization to Bore for Oil and Gas in
Copiah, Lincoln and Pike.


Crystal Springs.-A wild sort OF
thrill is tingling in the veins OF farmers

Birmingham Oil and Gas Company OF
Birmingham, Ala, a concern capitalized
at 81, 100000.
In the not distant past, experts made
critical examinations OF the surface in
dications OF the great watershed dlyid-
ing the Mississippi and Pearl river val
leys, extending from the lower edge
of Kinds county to Osyka. EvidcnI.s
these examinations must have been sat
i~sfactory and conclusive, inspiring the
minds OF the company with the belief
that oil and gas nnderlie tie surface
Of the ridge traversins the counties Of
IGopiah, Lincoln aud Pike for a dis
lance of about 65 miles. The faith OF
the company is expressed by the steps
recently taken to secure oil and gas
leases OH lands contiguous to this place.
The leases stipulated that the land
owner reserve the proprietary and ag-
ricultural rights, cediie only the Sub
surface oil and gas, if any be found,
for which he is to receive a royalty OF
five per cent gross of said oil and gas.
SO far no difficulty has been encoun-
tered in securing leases upon the terms
proposed by the company. Operations
will be confined to the ridge designated.

been notified of the approaching jubilee
have sigIified their intention of taking
all tcaiye part in the discussions and
there will be a large representation
present from several cities in various
parts OF Mississippi.
Aside from the interest caused by
the mere announcement of their intcn-
tions, the committee last night declared
that it had correspondent with the Hon.

REPRESENTATION UNEQUAL.
Present Districting Of Mississippi Works
Some Freaky Tricks.

ET EMETS
misunderstanding Of State Power
has prepared a tabulated report from
the official returns in his department
covering the senatorial contest in 1907,
by sensational and supreme court and
railroad commissioner districts. Taking
some OF these districts as a basis of
comparison, there is the First senatorial
district, composed Of Hancock, Harrison
and Jackson, which have one senator
and four representatives, and these three
cast a total vote for United States sena-
tor of 1865.
The Second district is composed of five
counties, or was, as George has been
since added, making the sixth, who are
entitled to one senator and five repre-
sentatives, yet they east $500 votes.
The Sixteenth senatorial district, com
posed of the one county of NoNubee, IL
der the some condition, is entitled to
one senator and three representatives,
vet only 993 votes We're recorded.
The one county of Bolivar, composing
the Tllirtieth district, cast 1913 votes, yet
sends a senator and two representatives.
%lssaquena and Sharkey, comprising the
twentieth district, east 496 votes, yet
they have a senator and two representa-
tives. Another %two-county district,
Clarke and Jasper, cast 1923 votes in
the same election, and get one senator
and three representatives, their voting
strength being almost three times that
of the one-county district of NoNubee,
and over three and a half times that of
the Bolivar county district.
According to Secretary Powers figures,
| the vote cast for senator in 1907 was
11S,345. 1t is considered doubtful
whether the same number will be at
tanned in 1911.
At the same time Secretary Power
gives the figures in the same election by
supreme court districts, also the number
OF senator's and representatives appor-
toned. The summary is as follows:
First District-Attala, Bolivar Kinds,
