THIS Is THE LAND OF FIVE
CROPS INSTEAD OF THREE

In the Chicago Examiner of last
Sunday John Jay Davis, staff CORE
spondent of that paper, gave a fun
page to a write up Of Southern Mis-

land of three crops" Having read
the article Rev. L. e. Hall this
morning showed The News evidence
that he has already within this year
made four crops on one plat of land
on which he is in addition thereto
growing pecans, which are deriving
great benefit from the character of
crops grown and the culture necessary
to their development. In May Mr.,
Hall harvested a crop of oats which
yielded at the rate of 40 bushels to
the acre. He at once planted corn,
which is now mature and of excellent
quality. He has on the same land in
alternate rows crop of peanuts and a

State Progressive convention of Iowa

TEDDY
MOOSE LEADERS IN MISS. LOOK
FOR LARGE VOTE FOR TICKET
IN FORREST COUNTY.

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 5.-Leaders OF
the Bull Moose party in Mississippi
declare that the Roosevelt ticket is
going to poll heavy vote in some of
the southern sections of this state,
notably the counties of Harrison, Jack
son, Jones and Forrest. 1t is claimed
with much confidence that in the city
of Biloxi the ticket will get from 100
to 125 votes. Biloxi was the birth
place of the Socialist party in Mis-
sissippi, and has been for some time
noted for its unusual political stunts
Hon. John M. Parker, of New Or
leans, has been invited to deliver a
number of addresses in Mississippi
his native state, in behalf of the Bull
Moose ticket, and it is probable that
he will do so, confining his missionary
efforts chiefly to the southern coun-
ties.

crop of field peas, both of which are
yielding abundantly. In short while
he will have a crop of turnips growing
on the same land which will fully
mature by Christmas, thus, instead of
three crops he gets five crops off the
same tract of land in one year. What
is still more interesting, Mr..
Hall estimates that the 25 pecan
trees growing on each acre of
this same land are enhancing in
value at the rate of SIS each, so that
besides his five crops obtained this
year, there is an estimated increase of
$125 per acre per year in the value of
the land.
This land is good cut-over pine
land, but by no means exceptional, as
there are hundreds of thousands OF
acres In Forrest and adjoining coun
ties just as good.
