dence has placed within your reach.

Yours for big year In 1911.

patience. and great business ability.

classification for the winter before

This saved time at the opening If
the new term and gave a better
chance to take good care Of new stu

end OF the term some fines were de-

LOUISvILLE'S SCHOOL MIDDLE
The first act OF the recently elect
ed school board OF Louisville was to
discharge the present superintendent,
Professor Mark. The board did not
deign to give any reasons for its ac-
ton and the result was the stirring
up OF a muss between the partisans
Of the board and the superintendent
who sought to hold his position by a
restraining order from the courts The
decision OF the court, however, was
In favor Of the school board and Prof
Z. o. Holland has been elected to
take Superintendent Marks place.
TOBACCO CONVENTION
A big convention OF the tobacco

SOMETHING ELSE
ABOUT RICE CUlTLRf
Interesting Facts as Observed IN IsfIore
County.

The progressive planters Of LIE.
fore County who subscribed solib-
orally to the experimental rice farm
near Greenwood, are very much graf
ified at the splendid showing this
section Of the country can make
against that Of other sections Of
Mississippi and two adjoining
States.
Out Of the As acres which were
successfully sown, 38 yielded 1900
bushels, and l8 acres having be-
come weedy from not getting water
on as early as desirable, yielded 800
bushels, the 80 acres averaging rs
bushels, while the whole As acres
averaged 60 bushels.
For the benefit Of planters wish
ing TO engage in this industry, we
publish here the profits Of the crop,
together with an itemized sum
mary Of the cost Of production per
acre.
Figuring on the present price in
New Orleans, which is SOC per
bnshel, deduct 6 3-4c for freight,
leaving IS l-4c net. With an aver
age Of 70 bushels it would bring
$685. per acre, and deducting
$500 as cost Of production, we
have $43.25 net profit per acre.
