INTERESTING PAPER ON
DEMONSTRATION WORK
Prof. Cunningham WriteSFrOm
Boil WeGViI District

(By Prof. G. V. Cunningham, Of the
Third District Agricultural and
Mechanical College Faculty.
Laurel, Miss, Aug. Il, 1911.
My purpose in writing this account
Of my trip through the boil weeVil sec
ton of Mississippi and Louisiana, IS
to give the farmers of Sumter county
the benefit of my observations with
reference to the effect on general bus
mess and farming in infested territory
and to give them the benefit of the
management Of farmers in such terri
tory. l shall make a most careful and
Dains-taking investigation, the result
Of which l hope will be of great bene-
fit to the farmers.
The United States Department Of
Agriculture, through what is known
as the Farmers Cooperative Demon
stration Work, are doing all they can
to help the farmers to adopt better
methods of farming and to assist them
il getting ready to meet the boil weyil
which is sure to reach our country
soon.
Nearly two years ago l was ap-
pointed by the Department to help ac-
complished the first purpose, and now
they have sent me into the bool weviI
territory to help accomplish the second
purpose.
The result Of the work the first
year gave from IS to 112 bushels Of
corn per acre, the average yield being
over so bushels per acre with an aver
age of not over 500 lbs. Of guano per
acre, where the average for the coun-
try was IA bushels per acre, and from
one half bale to two bales per acre Of
cotton with the same amount of guanO
where One-fourth bale per acre was
the average. Though the dry wealth
er has been hard on us this year many
OF the farmers VINO are carrying out
the Departments instructions are
making from 50 to 100 bushels of corn
per acre and from one-half to two
bales of cotton.
Besides this, they are aiding the
farmers in securing better stock.
Through their influence about 100
Percheron mares will be brought in;o
the country and the raising of horses
and mules will be given a boost.
So much for the work and the pur-
pose of this trip. You will hear fur

DANGER OF The
SOUTH'S WEALTH
increasing Wealth Producing SpeCula-
ton in Wildcat Schemes.
Manufacturers Record


Wealth is increasing so rapidly in
the South that tens of thousands Of
people who have not heretofore had
any surplus money for investment
will now be in a position to buy land
or securities or to make improvements
to farm or city properties. This
wealth, coming to many after long
years of struggle, is liable to bring
about speculation in get-rich-quick
concerns. 1t is entirely safe to say
that millions of dollars Of Southern
money will be wasted in wildcat en-
terprises of every kind. The unscrup-
ulous promoter will hunt out every
man and woman with a few surplus
dollars, whether in city, village or
country, and with plausible details
present alluring prospects for big div
idends. Some of those enterprises
will naturally appeal to Southern in
terests and Southern pride. Details
of enormous profits made, are said to
have been made, by similar companies
in the North and West will be pointed
to as reasons why the South should
invest in such undertakings.
The very fact that the South sends
many millions of dollars to the North
for insurance premiums, both life and
fire, is a legitimate reason for the in
yestment at home whenever it can be
done with safety in fire and life insur-
ance companies, but for every success
| full company brought into existence,
promoters will organize many unsuc-
cessful ones, and make the most glow
ing promises of dividends which will
never be paid. 1t behooves every
business man in the South to do all N
his power to encourage safe and con-
Iseryatiye investments of surplus mon
ely. With the continuation of the pres
ent increasing wealth of this section
d vast accumulation can be made with
in the next five or ten years for invest
ments in safe, legitimate undertakings
| managed by men of known probity
and business ability. But hundreds
Of millions can be dissipated through
! reckless speculation in cotton gamb.

always stacked against the outsider;

Especial to THE TIMES. }

East Chicago, June 30.-There is a
great deal of building going on in the
Twin Cities, and ii is estimated that
the seasons building is by no means ali
under way The slight depression that
caused business to go bit slow for
the past few months, has caused SOM
few who had anticipated building, to
postpone their operations, and some Of
these with the revival Of activities
which the mills have experienced, are
considering going on with their plans.
There are number of large build
ings now under way whose progress is
of interest to the public. Especially SO
is that of the Cohen building at Chi
cago and Forsyth avenues The ma
sons are now at work laying brick on
the third story and it is possible al
ready to get very good idea of what
the structure will look like when COM
pleted.
Sam Cohen. the owner of the building
is expected to move his buffet into its
new quarters next the corner. within
five or sixe weeks, but it is expected
that it will be about three months be-
fore the entire building is completed
and the bank fixtures in the corner In
stalled Were 1t not for the building
of the vault the building could be
finished sooner, but these ponderous
receptacles cannot be rushed in their
construction.
The top floor of the building has beer
