THAT TOMBIGBEE o A
Providence, R. L., Spectator Asks for In
formation.

Jacksonville railroad commission is
being besieged by inquiries relative to
the Aberdeen B T~ombigee Valley Railroad
company, which was supposed to have
had its road in operation by the first of
this year.
The most recent inquiry is that of
w. S. Fisher, of Providence, R. l., who
declares that he owns quite a lot of the
preferred stock Of the Tombigbee Val,
ley road, and wants to know whether
the road is really going through and
whether it would be wise for him to
hold his stock a while longer.
The road, it is understood, is being
worked towards completion, but the pro
moters have been delayed considerably in
their scheme. The road is not in opera
ton, though, as the Providence man
seems to believe, according to Capt. John
Webb Of the railroad commission, and it
is hard to tell just how many months it
will be before the promoters finish the
job they have started.

A. AND M. SUMMER SESSION,
Expect Between 100 and $50 Will
Enroll.

Mississippi A. & M. College.-For the
information of the teachers all over the
state the summer school bulletin has
been published by the college and sent
to about 5000 teachers of Mississippi.
Applications for bulletins are still com
ing in, and the indications are that more
teachers will be in attendance at the
four weeks summer session which opens
on June 10 than have ever been In at
tendance before.
Between 100 and $50 students are ex-
pected to remain through the summer
session. Some of these will be engaged
in college work, but a great many stu
dents will remain to take the summer
course and stand the teachers examina-
ton, which is to be given at the end
Of the course.
Prof. P. P. Garner, who is in charge of
the summer school work, that
the course this summer will emphasize
agriculture and the high school sciences,
but the usual attention will be paid to
the regular grammar school and high
school curriculum. Teachers in agricul-
tural high schools and the rural schools
of the state will find the course to be
offered here during the summer session
especially advantageous to them in their
work.

IMPROVING OUR LAND
Only by Experimenting Can One
Tell What Is Needed.
Deep and Thorough Flowing, Good
TlIIaee and Filming of Soil and
Short Rotation Of Leeume Crops
and Fertilizer Needed.
(RY ". f.

Proper use Of fertilizers for the i'm
provement Of the soil Of necessity in
wolves a j~udicious rotation of crops,
In which the humus-making, forage,
legume crops are brought frequently
on the land. It Is often said that the
south needs grass, We need legume
forage worse than grass. The won
derful capacity of our soils and ell
mate for the production of these crops
that feed the stock while feeding the
soil indicates the line of improvement
that should be adopted. With a stand
ing pasture Of Bermuda grass, the
finest pasture grass In the world, we
need not attempt to grow grass on our
fields, but get the finest hay from the
cowpea, soy bean and other legume
crops, that will enable us to feed cat.
tie economically and get a benefit to
our soil by the growing of the crop.
Then by feeding the forage we can
recover the larger part of the fertil-
lzer value Of the crop. 1t is only in
bhO Alob 5IulLp III lu6 Improvement Oh
p worn piece Of land, that 1t can pay
the farmer to return the whole growth
Of the legume to the soil, for when
the land is capable Of producing a ton
or two tons of pea-vine hay per acre,
it's feeding value Is too great to make
1t pay to use 1t as a manure direct,
when we can make a profit from the
animals fed and get a large part of
the manurial value back on the land.
One Of the most common questions
asked US by farmers Is: what fer
tilizer formula shall l use on my soil?
No one can tell you the need of your
soil. The chemist can tell you what
1t contains, but you cannot say In
what condition the plant food is. Only
by experimenting on the soil itself
can you tell what 1t needs. AS a gen
eral rule, l believe that our red clay
soils seldom need any application of
potash, If a proper rotation of crops
Is practiced and lime is used in mod
Okolona messenger. (Okolona, Miss.) 1900-current, 1911-06-08

crate quantities at intervals. Then II
a proper short rotation is practiced
and legumes brought frequently on the
land, | do not believe for the purposes
of the cotton or grain farmer there
will ever be need for his buying an
ounce Of nitrogen or ammonia. This
will bring us down on the red clay
lands to the one element of phos.
phorus in the form of phosphoric acid
Now, II we use on these lands a lib
eral application Of acid phosphate on
the pea crop, the peas will do the
rest, you may depend upon 1t. In
many sections Of the tobacco belt the
growers are of the opinion that peas
preceding a crop Of tobacco will In
jure the quality of the tobacco. They
certainly do not injure some kinds Of
tobacco, and in the bright tobacco
section | am Of the opinion that the
trouble arises from the fact that the
growers do not realize the amount Of
nitrogen the peas give them, and they
apply the same fertilizer they would
without the peas, and thus get too
rank a growth. 1t may be well to put
another crop between the peas and
bright tobacco, or use a fertilizer with
a smaller percentage Of ammonia, on
none, after the peas, But If | could
not grow tobacco and improve my
land with legumSs and the feeding OF
stock, | would grow some other money
crop that would let me improve the
soil. The same objection Is common
with the peanut growers, and yet one
Of the most successful peanut grow.
ers | know Of uses peas regularly for
the improvement of his land, and is
thus enabled to use lime more beneh-
cially for his nuts, and he grows larger
and better crops than the men who
are afraid Of COW peas.
To sum up, then, the improvement
Of our lands depends on the deep and
thorough blowing, good tillage and IN
ing Of the soil, a proper short rota.
ton with legume crops for forage and
soil improvement, and an economical
use Of. fertilizers, simply using them
to help the crop that helps feed the
stock and land alike.

BOND CASE WON BY EDWARDS.
Treasurer Sustained in His Refusal to
Pay Interest on Bonds.

Jackson.-Much earlier than was an
ticipated in many quarters and, so far
as indicated on the surface, without a
note of dissent, the supreme court Mon
day handed down an opinion decisive of
the state bond case, which has held the
attention of the public for a period of
Ave months. The court takes the view
OF the matter which has been held all
along by State Treasurer Edwards, that
the sale o. bonds as effected by the
governor and attorney general, under
the terms Of the bond act of 1910, which
was a sale at par with accrued interest
coupons attached, ante-dated to July l,
was in effect a sale below par, and on
that score he himself had mandamus pro-
ceedings brought against him, the object
of which was to determine whether he
could be compelled as treasurer to &C.
cept the unearned interest coupons.
Thus is brought to a close a contro-
versy which has been carried on between
the governor and the treasurer, with
more or less intensity, since the first
week in January-during which period
the amenities reached the near-personal
character. The first litigation heard in
court wal the bill in chancery filed by
the hondholders in order to determine
the authority of the treasurer to bring
such action or to be a party to such &C
tion, In view of the fact that he was
one of the officials upon whom jointly
with the governor and attorney general,
was laid the responsibility for floating
the issue. This was reviewed by the
supreme court during February, and the
result of that was that the suit as
filed could not be sustained.
1t was after that that, after consulta-
tions and conferences, it was decided
that such mandamus must originate with
the district attorney, and at the March
term Of court here the application for
mandamus on the part of District Attor-
ney Mcneil was fully argued before
Judge Henry, who eventually handed
down an opinion sustaining the district
attorney, and directing the auditor to
issue warrants for the unearned interest
coupons. From this decision, in order to
take a short cut to the supreme court,
the auditor demurred, and thus the whole
controversy was in shape for review by
the court.

PULPIT NOT in THEIR LINE
How Mer Now Eminent In judiciary
Of Country Disappointed Parents-
Fond Expectations.

There we're three boys in our fam
lily out In Ashland county, Ohio" said
Colonel Fred Paul Grosscup Of
Charleston, W. Va, at the Willard
hotel. "end our good old Lutheran
parents decided that one Of the three
should be a preacher.
"Peter, the first born, was picked
for the church, while Ben and myself
were allowed to think Of some other
vocation. Well, when Peter left col
lege he sold father and mother that
no guessed the church could get
along without him, a. he preferred
the law. Then l was picked for the
pulpit, and after a term in college my
parents were shocked to learn that
I had entered a business house far
from home.
THAT meant the selection Of Ben.
the youngest, for the church. and
when Ben got through his college
course he told the old folks at home
that he thought It wisest to follow
the example Of Peter and enter the
legal profession. There were no Other
boys, so what could father and
mother do but exclaim, The Lords
will be DONE and give US each a
parental blessing.
Years after, when brother Peter
reached the federal bench and Ben
achieved distinction on the Pacific
coast, our parents seemed reconciled
TO the loss sustained by the pulpitS
Of the country"

GREAT DEMAND FOR COTTON
Forty-two Million Bales Of Staple Re-
= qulred Each Year to CIothe
Whole Human Family.

ITO clothe the whole Of humanity
would require AZ, 900, 900 bales Of cot.
ton each year."
This statement was made by Presi-
dent Hobbs, Of the National Associa-
ton of Cotton Manufacturers, at its
recent annual meeting in Boston.
Mr.. Hobbs said that, Of the $500, 000,-
600 inhabitants Of the world, only
500, 900, 900 are completely clothed,
while $50, 900, 900 are only partially
clothed and ESQ., O0, 900 are practically
not clothed at all. AS civilization adj
vances, the proportion of the partial
ly clothed and the unclothed will de-
crease, and this, with the increase Of
population In civilized countries, will
call for an increased supply Of cotton.
The cotton belt of the United States
now furnishes fully two-thirds Of the
world supply of cotton, and, as the
demand increases, will be called up
on greatly to increase Its annual pro-
duction.
The problem that confronts us is to
keep the cotton production Of the
south abreast of the demand by bring
ing about the adoption of those cul-
tural methods which will result in
larger average yields per acre, thus
Increasing the proitableness of cot
ton growing and leaving surplus lands
to be devoted to other crops and the
growing of live stock. It is clearly
more profitable to a farmer to pro-
duce fifty bales Of cotton on fifty
acres than to produce the same
amount on one hundred acres, for
he will receive the same amount for
his cotton and will have fifty acres
for other uses. Under ordinary cir
cumstances, every increase in the av-
erage yield Of cotton per acre reduces
the cost Of production per pound and
yields the farmer a larger margin Of
profit between the cost of growing
his crop and the selling price.
