Rising Water has Forced Com
pany to Abandon All Trains
Running into Cairo---Offi-

The high waters prevailing at
Cairo and at other points in

and Chicago and Eastern Illinois
railroads to Tamma, ILL.,, where
they will be turned over to the
initial line and carried into st.
Louis.
Conditions in the flood district
are of such a serious nature that
it is not known when through

SIR HENRY 8EssEMER DID
MUCH FOR MANKIND

London, Jan. 1S.-It will be one hun
bred years tomorrow since there was
born in a little village in Hartford
shire man whose life, according to
the opinions expressed by the news
papers at the time of his death fifteen
years ago, had been more useful to
humanity than that of any other one
person. The man was Sir Henry
Bessemer, who will be known forever
as the inventor Of the process for con-
verting cast iron into steel without
the use of fuel,
Bessemer did for the steel industry
what Newton did for astronomy and
what Darwin did for natural science
The revolution in that industry fol
lowing upon Bessemers discovery was
as great as the revolution in industry
at large following upon the discovery
of applied steam power.
Before the Bessemer process came
into vogue the production of steel ii
Great Britain was only $4,000 tons an
nually, and the average price was
$3.50 ton. In 1911 the production II
the United Kingdom reached six ant
half million tons. In the same yea

1t was also decided to hold a union
meeting on the 4th Saturday of every
month, each ward acting as host in
turn.
! Mr. Claude Bennett, principal of the
High School, spoke to the ladies', urg-
ing the observance of Arbor Day, Feb.
Gath, and civic improvement.
Before the meeting was over the
secretary had been given the follow
ing names, each of which is respon.
sible for the planting of three trees
These names were as follows: Mes
danes M. Rowan, M. D. Foley, W. G
Hamper, S. S. Crawford, Steadman, A

Street school.
Mr.. Bennett announced that If
trees had been donated by Mr. Beau
mont and the ladies decided to have
them planted on Bay and Walnut
streets.

INTENSIVE METHODS
Bring GOOD Results

Illustrative of what may be done
on lands in this section where inten-
sive cultural methods are pursued the
experience of G. e. Pickle, of Petal,
is a good example. In 1911, Mr..
Pickel entered as one or the Govern
ment demonstrators, using two acres
of land planted to cotton. He pur-
sued the cultural methods suggested,
but used only 300 pounds of fertilizer
to the acre, $50 pounds Of cotton seed
meal and $50 pounds of phosphate.
When his cotton had all been picked
he found he had yield of 171O
pounds of seed cotton to the acre. In
| 1912 these two acres were planted in
corn, from which he gathered 10C
bushels, or at the rate of so bushels
to the acre, without the use of any
additional fertilizer. Late in August
he planted peas on the land, and from
the vines produced before frost hi
housed as much pea vine hay as 1
two-horse wagon could haul in ter
loads.
What Mr.. Pickle did others can dc

MANY WILL PLANT
TREES ARBOR DAY

Prof. Claude Bennett went before
the Mothers Congress at their meet
ing at the Forrest Club Friday after
noon and presented the matter of Ar
Dor Day. The ladies present expressed
much interest in the movement and
forty-five trees were pledged at the
meeting.
Friday, Jan. "a, is the time set as
Arbor Day and Mr.. Bennett is arous
ing much interest in the occasion
among the high school pupils. He feels
assured of at least one hundred trees
and thinks that will be an encourag
ing start. However, many more tree
should be planted on that day, is hi
contention.
