New Orleans, April John NJ
Parker of this city has Just an
nounced the sale of one of his
Mississippi cotton plantations to
the Fine Spinners' and Doublers
Corporation of Manchester, Eng
land. At the same time the Cor
poration took over eight planta-
tions belonging to Charles Scott
Of RosedaIe. Miss. two belonging
to +. A. Stacey, and one belong
ing to DR.. Etherly.
The property transferred
amounts to 10000 acres, and lies
in solid body around Lake Boil
war just north of GreenvIlle in
the heat of the extra staple belt.
All Of the plantations purchased
are highly developed and long
have paid the owners handsome
returns on their investments.
Nothing burt extra staple cotton
is grown on these lands.
Planters in the south have con
tended they can grow cotton and
sell 1T to the spinner at a lower
price than the spinner can pro
duce it himself. This the spinner
has doubted. But the true motive
behind the purchase of the 30
600 acres by English spinners is
to be found in the fact that tn
premium extra staple cotton now
brings in the open market is very
high as compared with the prem
ium Of former years, and the eX-
ira staple spinners who compose
the membership Of the Fine Spin
ners' and Doublers' Corporation
hope in a measure at least, to con
troll the stayle market Through
the raising of $1,000 or 10000
bales of extra staple cotton an
nuallv on their own account.
Efficient mana cement should
make the big estate pay good di-
vidends but whether the plan will
greatly Influence the staple cotton
market remains to be seen.
Another phase Of the matter the
South will watch with interest is
the working out Of the English
idea Of inspiring the black lab
orer with ambition. The South
nrn ,laotar Eac aIways treafeJ tho
black farm hand pretty much as
a child. In South Africa the
British are endeavoring to en-
courage the native to work for
the future and his own indepen-
dence. A similar plan will prob
ably be tried in Mississippi by |
The Fine Spinners' and Doublers'
Corporation.

Crowley, La, Mar, 3l.--Th'
Rice Journal 4 Southern Farme
will say in it April summary o
the rice situation:
The first day of April finds TIL
average rice planter from one t
three weeks further advanced than
usual in his preparations for The
new crop, more than the average
amount Of planting done for this
season; better soil preparation
than ever before; the market be
ginning to show signs OF renew
ed activity after a long dull spell
and finally, new factors IN the
rice situation which may lead to
or early realignment i'll the dis
tributing end Of the industry.
A large number of letters re
ceived from all parts Of the rice
belt show that usual activity in
preparations for the crop has pre-
vailed. The weather thus far has
been unusually favorable for farm
work, the winter having been dry,
but not too dry for blowing. a
large amount of fall blowing was
done, fall blowing having been
growing in favor in recent years.
Dry weather threatened to inter
fere with planting and blowing in
the early part Of March, but short
ly after the middle of the month
general rains throughout the gulf
coast extending into tArkansas,
left the soil in fine condition. and
since that time work has gone
forward rapidly.
While it is too early to fore
east acreage probabilities with
any degree of safety, there are
certain indications that give some
line on the comparative acreage
that will be planted in the various
sections of the rice belt. The well
informed estimate the Arkansas
increase all the way from ten to
twenty-five per cent. In the
older sections of Arkansas some
of the old land will be laid out
and new land brought in, keeping
up the average, while in the new
er rice districts considerable new
land will be brought in. There
will, however, be nothing like the
increase of last year.
1t is safe to say that there will
be a reduction of the rice acreagt
on the river. In the Lake Provi-
dence region the decrease will be
heavy. and around Donaldsonville
it will probably reach thirty per
cent. This decrease is due main
ly to the unsatisfactory prices.
In Southwest Louisiana several
influences conspire to bring about
a small acreage increase over last
year. The canal companies have
made more favorable provision for
water rent; the Kaplan interests
in Vermilion are throwing open
q large area of new land TO irri-

New Orleans. April D. The
great plantation estates of Lou
iSiana are rapidly passing from
the old owners into the hands OF
modern agriculturists. Hardly a
week now goes by but that some
such transaction is announced.
This week the Somerset Planta-
ton, in TenSas Parish, which is
one of the finest estates IN tn,
South was purchased by William
Stiles and his associates of Lafay
etta. jlndiWa, the consideration
announced being $250.000 The
property comprises $1,000 acres
Of rich aIluvial land. 5000 OF
which is cleared and highly i'm
proved.
Somerset plantation belonged
TO the Perkins family, whose hos
pitality knew no bounds in the
old days of Louisiana plantation
life. Many changes came Fin
ally there We're hut two heirs re
naming. the Misses Perkins. One
married Lord Richey of England
aud both moved to Europe. Ae-
cording to MIR. StiNos, the new
owners will engage in stock rails
ing on large scale. the open
climate supplying grazing all the
year round. Much attention will
be given hos raising. the increaS-
ing corn production in Louisiana
having made hog raising very
profitable industry in this state.
Ultimately a large portion Of the
Somerset estate will be cut up into
small farms and sold to thrifty
farmers of the north.

SMALL BOARD JANUARY, 1918
Present Appointed Officers to Go ou,
With the Freeholders.

When the small board of chosen
freeholders, provided for by the
Strong act of 1902 and adopted by
the voters of Morris county at last
January lst, 1918, the terms of all
officers appointed by the existing
board will expire even if the officers
have been appointed for longer tern
and new officers will be appointed by
the small board to hold office for
one year only. This will mean sew
eral appointments to be made by the
new board Immediately after its Or
ganization.
The county collector, however, will
continue to exercise the duties of his
office until his successor has been
appointed. Any honorably discharged
soldier or sailor in office at the pres
ent time will not be affected by the
law and cannot be removed except
for cause. The act applies to the
following offices: County collector,
auditor, attorney, physician, engineer,
road Inspector, supervisor OF soldiers
monuments and clerk
The Strong act is officially known
as chapter "a of the laws Of 1902. It
was introduced by Senator Theodore
Strong, of Middlesex county, when
the operations of the larger freeholder
body created dissatisfaction in that
county. The law originally provided
for board of nine members in coun-
ties of more than 200 ,000 inhabitants
but was amended few years ago to
seven members for counties of that
size. In counties of between 100000
and 100000 inhabitants the act pro-
yides for board of seven members.
Boards of but five members are fixed
for counties of from $4,000 to 100000
population and Morris county falls
under this provision, and of three
members for counties of less than
$4,000.
Under the Jaw the small board shai
be organized on the first Monday of
January next after the election of the
members under the Strong act, and
on the first Monday of January of
each second year thereafter. The
board from its own number elects a
director on whom deyolyes the APP
pointment of standing committees.
In lieu of the present fees and eX
penses each member is paid an an
nual salary of $1,000 except in coun-
ties of less than $4,000 inhabitants,
where the annual salary is $500

BASE BALL TEAM
MAKES fine SHOWING
Manager Todd's Aggregation
Has Successful Season.

Sixty-five games played and twelve
lost is the enyiable record achieved
by the Morristown A. A. the past
season. Under John j. Todd's able
management the team furnished Nor
ristown fans with good bali, first
class teams being brought here as
contenders with the locals.
The greatest achievement of the
team was the winning of the county
championship p from the Jerseys OF
Boonton. Morristown also won series
with the 0fange B. B. c. and the
Elizabeth A. A.
Captain Mike Doyle has the
honor of being the only player on the
team to participate in every game
played. Mike proved that he was
not "has-been' for his playing
throughout the season was excellent
and he showed the way TO the
younger players. His skill in handling
the team, too. was responsible for
many of its victories.
1t was the pitching that proved the
spectacular part of the seasons work.
George Lacey and Walter Swenson
were the men who did the most work
on the mound, Lacey pitching in twen
ty-six games and losing six and Sven
son hurled twenty-seven and lost
four Eddie" Welsh twirled in
twelve contests ana lost one. John
Enzman, who was added to the pitch
ing staff late in the season, also
worked in dozen games and lost
one.
Swenson struck-out 231 batters,
Lacey 224, Welsh 20 and Enzmann
SO. Lacey gave twenty-six bases on
balls, Swenson 20, Welsh II and Enz-
mann 13. Lacey and Enzmann each
pitched eight shut-out contests, Sven
son six and Welsh four. Lacey was
pounded for III hits, Swenson SO,
Welsh AZ, Enzmann Sc. Sixty-two
runs We're made off Lacey, So of
Swenson, 81 off Welsh and z off Enz-
mann.
Batting records of the team are 49,
