every man to watch closely, for it
means a great deal to US all. The fight
we make on the weevil in this way at
this time will lessen the number of
weevils we will have to contend with
next year. According to all past rec
ords, wherever the weevil has been,
next year will be about our worst year;
and we should not fail to make all the
fight possible this year, thereby helping
our battle next year The war we have
got to wage on the bug simply means a
survival of the tittest" in its every
sense. So let us all. farmers, mer-
chants and bankers, stand shoulder to
shoulder in this fight and win. for win
we must. | am sure every business en-
terprise in the county will cooperate
with US in every way possible in help
ing to ''stem the tide.
For the next three weeks go over
your cotton at least once week and
pick up all fallen squares ard burn
them. This will aid very materially in
the making of this years crop, which
appears now to be short enough with
out the weevil making it shorter. It's
impossible for me to get to see every
farmer in the county that might find
the infected squares, so | would kindly
ask that you drop me card and | Will

A Rather Tame Affair.

The much heralded automobile endur-
ance race, in which the dope from
Memphis said there would be 100 cars.
proved to be very tame affair. There
were only seven cars to come into
Grenada and they looked just like any
other cars. -
However, there is every reason to
hope that the auto race will strengthen
the sentiment rapidly developing over
the state for good roads, and Grenada
especially desires that the necessity for
north and south road through Missis-
sippi via this city will be so imperative
as to make the road a certainty inI a
few years.

NEED CAMPAIGN FUNDS.
People Must Contribute If Democrats
Expect to Win Battle.
Meridian, Miss, Aug. 10, 1912.

MeTluldll, MISS, aug. ~, AO1N.
To the Press of Mississippi:
While we all know that Mississippi's
electoral vote will be given to the dem
ocratic ticket, we must recognize at
the same time that tremendous bat
tie must be fought in other states
whose votes are essential to democratic
success.
To prosecute the campaign in these
states to a successful conclusion, de-
mands for money for legitimate ex-
penses; and since this is fight for the
people against entrenched interests, the
people must be relied upon to furnish
the "sinews of war;" and in proportion
as they respond to this obligation our
battle will succeed or fail.
A number of the newspapers of the
state are now asking subscriptions to
the National camnaign fund, and to
those who have not done so, we earn
estly urge upon you the necessity of
awakening the voters of your county to
sense of their patriotic obligation,
and secure as far as you can a gener-
GUS contribution. This can be done by
opening subscription to the fund and
publishing each week the contributors.
All funds should be remitted to Jo-
seph E. Norwood, Secretary, Magnolia,
Miss, who will promptly forward same
to the National Committee.

DINNER AT TIE PLANT.
An Abundance Of Good Things. Very
Enjoyable Affair.

The officers and managers the of tie
plant, an enterprise owned and oper-
ated by the Aver & Lord Tie Co. of
Chicago, at Tie Plant, three miles south
of Grenada, gave their annual dinner
Tuesday in beautiful forest near the
plant. There was an abundance of all
the good things that appeal to the taste
of almost every man. The most per-
feet decorum was observed and the
gathering was very enjoyable affair.
About one hundred were present.
The Aver & Lord Tie Co. have nearly
half million dollars invested in this
enterprise. The monthly pay roll is
felicitates over this large establishment,
perhaps the largest in the South.
The citizenship is made up of excel
lent people. They are law-abiding, in
dustrious and frugal and take an active
interest in all things calculated for the
betterment of the community. They
have two churches, and splendid
school, which receive the most active
support of the people of the plant.
Just before the dinner was partaken
of Tuesday, in response to the request
of one of the managers, Attorney w,
M. Mitchell said the blessing, and ev-
ery head bowed in submission to Him
who gives every blessing. The boughs
of the overhanging oak, the smooth.
barked and thickly-foliaged beech and
other stalwart trees impaired grand
eur to the surroundings that did not
fail to impress even the casual obser-
yer and made him appreciate the more
the opportunity of being present and
natures lavish gifts to this great coun-
try. The dinner and the occasion re-
fiected well on the people of Tie Plant,
and the fact that the enterprise there
is succeeding so handsomely, creates no
surprise when one stops to consider
those who are in charge of it.

Boil WeeviI AdmOnitiOnS.

Boil weevils are making their ap-
pearance in several sections of the
county. Right now is the critical pc
riod of the year in our fight to make
cotton under weevil conditions. 1t is
not only critical for this year, but the
years to come. The damage that will
be done depends very largely upon the
fight that each individual farmer will
make.
1t is no use for US to become discour-
aged over this thing, for it is an abso-
lutte certainty that if we make cotton
successfully from now on, there are
certain things that We must do which
we have never had to do before. l
know we can raise cotton profitably
with the weevil if other sections can,
for Grenada county farmers have just
as much "stickability" and determina-
ton about them when they want to ac-
complish their purpose, as the farmers
in any county.

farm. The past year his department,
instead of being a loss to the state,
made about $500. He is practical, but
at the same time does not lose sight of
the experimental side; but the expert

to the Wisconsin farmer. He is now
conducting an experiment with fowls,
giving some corn and corn products;
others wheat and wheat products, and
others grain in the same manner, try
ing to establish the relative food value
Of the different grains. Wisconsin is
distinctly grain country, and he hopes
to tell the farmer what grain is of the
most value in feeding his poultry. His
work and his message to the farmers
of Wisconsin are of great value to the
man of the small farm.

ment that there will not be more
faithful and persistent member of the
faculty of the A. & M. College. For
the past two or three years he has de-
voted much study to scientific agricul-
tuIe and the poultry business and,
judging by the demand coming from
agricultural journals for his manu-
scripts, one would conclude that he is
already considered an authority on the
poultry business.
He will be missed around Grenada,
but there is this consolation to his
friends here: The boys that go to the
A. & M. College will reap the benefit of
his christian life and the College inter-
terests will be promoted by his skilled
work in his department.
