We have had a bad year for good re-
suits from the acres of the corr club
boys, but not n of them have failed.
On Saturday, October 18th, every
boy who has held on this long is asked
TO be IN Macon at the court house to
make an exhibit Of his corn. Few
prizes will be given to any but boys
who are present that day or represented
by some one. Prizes will be offered for
largest yield per acre, and you must
have with you that day a government
report filled out showing your yield in
pounds in shelled corn. The way to de-
termine this is to weigh out seventy
two pounds of corn in the ear with the
shuck on, and then shell the corn and
weigh and determine the percentage of
shelled corn. then multiply the percent
age by the gross weight of all your acre
yield. Gather the corr when it is dry
and weigh when dry.
Every boy should bring the following
exhibit: A N hundred ear lot. a ten
a lot. a champion one ear the best
stalk you have, the stalk having the
most ears, A prize will be offered for
the neatcst and best kept expense ac.
count. This should be made out on the
sheet Prof. Cobb, has sent you for this
purpose. Prizes will be offered for best
composition on how you grew your corn,
these must be written on good paper
with pen and ink. If you write poorly,
compose your essay and then have some
one copy it for you.
Every boy present on this day with
his report and exhibit will be given a
prize. Prizes this year will not be so
large as some were last year, but every
boy will get something. If YOU can not
come that day, send your report and
your different exhibits by some one.
but you be here If possible
BE careful in the selection of vour
show ears. The best ten lots will
be sent to jackson to the state fair, 50
wrap each a of this ten-ear lot in
separate wrappers and be careful to re-
tain every grain.
All negro boys who are in the negro
corn club for boys are invited to he
present with similar exhibits. Their
exhibits will be given a place for show
and prizes will be awarded to as MANY
them as we have funds for.

Truck Growers Association.

Last Wednesday morning at the court
house a number of the business men
and farmers Of the county met and or
gained a Truck Growers Association.
The following officers were elected:
Gus Mcleod, President; J. J. Prince
and G. G. Pagan, Yice-presi1ents; E. B.
Boyd, Treasurer ind Secretary, and s.
W. Adams, G. A. Hummer, 7. w.
Tate, j. N. McMorris, R.. L. Anderson,
]. L. Minor, K T. Mcleod, George D.
Russell. Gus Minor, c. B. Dorroh and
] B. Elkin, directors.
The matter Of taking up truck grow
ing in the county has been in agitation
several months and Messrs. J. F. Ames
ard f. B. Boyd went down to Newton,
where quite a success has been made
in truck growing, and carefully exam
ined the methods in use there. 1t is
now being endeayored to adopt the
ECW tOl WeliOub III NpAuDee COuIlJJ.
Starting up a new industry, such as
truck growing, is difficult and calls for
an expenditure Of money to get the
thing started, since there is no local
market OF dealer in the things produced
and also because the farmers undertake
ing the growing of the truck need in
struction. The Newton people en-
ployed an expert and both the planting
and growing of the truck and the mar
keting of the prodncts was done under
his instruction. The Noxubee Associa-
ton has started under very suspicious
circumstances and have already raised
about $700. 90 or $500. 90. They are in
correspondence with a highly skilled
truck grower. who Is willing to come
here and inaugurate the industry among
the farmers of the county. However.
the Association needs more money and
anticipates very little trouble in raising
it when the live business men and farm
ers of the county are advised of the
state of affairs. Major Boyd. the Sec
and Treasurer, will receive SUBJ

Death of lack P. Landrum,

Hon. H. ?. Landrum died at his home.
No. zoos Third avenue north, yesterday
morning. at nine O'Clock. His heath
had been failing for the past several
weeks as the result of IA malignant at
tack of diabetes and while a fatal ter
mlnation Of his illness was expected the
end came as a great shock to his family
and large circle of friends. For the
past few days his condition became rap
idly worse and death ended his career
yesterday morning at the hour stated.
Judge Landrum was Dorn in Georgia
and his brilliant career came to an end
in his tifty-second year. Coming from
a distinguished literary family he in
herited a love for culture and learning
and these were the distinguished char
acterlstics of his life. At an early age
he developed a love of literature and
his chosen profession gave him full op-
portunity to indulge his tastes. He at
tended and was a graduate of the South
ern University at Greensboro, Ala
when the standards of that institution
were among the highest in the South
and the early training he received there
formed the basis FOR a brilliant and use-
ful career at the bar which was his
chosen life work. He came to this sec
ton with his parents, both of whom
were people of wide culture, forceful
and strong at an early age in life and
resolved to follow the profession of
law. He was a strong characner and
his forceful individuality soon took rank
in his profession. Columbus Dispatch.

From the Agricultural Commissioner.

There are many cotton fields in the
county where all the cotton is open,
and in some Of these the picking is over.
The time to begin preparation for next
years crop is NOW.
If the cotton stalks on every acre,
where the cotton is all open and picked
out, were destroyed today, the value OF
the work would be inestimable. There
are several ways to do this. The best
is to cut the stalks with a stalk-cutter
and then break the land about five
inches deep, but with a good part OF
the crop to gather yet that plan is i'm
practicable. The most essential part
Of the work is to stop the growth Of
the plants. When that is done the food
supply Of the weevil is cut off end they
are forced to hunt other fields or starve.
This work can be very rapidly done
with an 8-disc harrow. Set the sec
tons at as great an angle as possible
and follow the tops of the rows. This
prunes off all the limbs and thoroughly
buries all the foliage; thus all the i'm
mature and most of the adult weevils
are covered with several inches of dirt.
Three or four mules should be used and
plenty Of weight put on the harrow.
Many farmers may not appreciate the
value of this work, but the man who
does this two weeks before frost is 20.
ing to have a great advantage over the
man who waits a month later. You are
going to say, Il can t do that; | am too
busy" but you can do it and will if you
feel the necessity of the work as you
should. One mar and a team can disc
seven or eight acres a day.
TO make cotton in Noxubee county
next year a hard fight must be put up,
and the most effectual work is that
that is done before frost. There are
about as many weevils in the prairie
part OF the county as in the western
half. We certainly are not going to
follow the example of Scott, Leake,
Smith and many other counties. Those
counties are in a bad condition, the pee
pie making almo t no cotton and have
no substitute crops. They know how
to make the fight, but they are afraid
to try. Every farmer in this county
Knows the details Of making cotton un-
Ter weevil conditions, but the question
IS, ale you going to do what you fee!
'ou SHOULD? If you plant cotton as you
been doing, you are going to lost
money.
| hope every farmer will disc every
ere az 0 rs practically all the cot
on has been picked. Don't wait for
very boil to open; you a sacrifice a
few. J. w. HADpoN.

Sizzling Sisson.

When the crabapple trees were
in bloom last May the soul of the
Hon. Augustus Owsley Stanley of
kentucky was filled with poetry
and he sang of the beauties of
spreading fields" and Sunshine"
and "dew" and gave forth with
balanced cadence a prose ode on
''the small town.:
II am from a small town, yea, verify,
and glory in it."
This sweet singer of Shelbyville
must have touched on that vernal
occasion the heart cords of the
Hon. Thomas Upton Sisson of Mis-
sissippi, otherwise known as the
famous Sizzling Sisson. In no
other way can we account for an
unconscious bit of pure plagiarism
that appeared yesterday in a
Washington despatch to The Sun.
1t seems that during a speech
kindled to his customary boiling
point Representative Sisson de-
clared that there is more "stupid
ignorance in New York in proper.
ton to population than anywhere
else in the United States. And
then came this burst of song, rob-
bling the Blue Grass Homer of the
very kernel of his ode:
THANK God | come from a State
Mississippi-that is not cursed with a
big city. There is not a town of 100, 900
population in my state, and | am proud
of it,"
How the Mississippi meister.
singer floods and overflows the
mind with pictures. We can al
most see Yalobusha county, which
he represents; we can see the red
chimneys on the schools of Kosci,
uSko, of which he was the proud
principal; we can see Winona, fair
Winona, where he rose to fame
and poetry by the force of his siz.
zling genius.
But is Mississippi proud of a
mental pirate, an imitator, a plag-
iarist! Can the same trick hold
the rural vote in Kentucky and
then be glibly played upon the
rugged homespun of Yalobusha and
Pontotoc!-New York Sun.

Those who missed seeing "Nicodemus
Glynn' last season with Coburn's
Greater Minstrels missed one of the
best comedians and eccentric musical
entertainers in America. His first sea-
son with this popular attraction was a
most pronounced hit. He was a star
performer, a funny end man, a scream
in the black face acts, and his personal
ity off the stage won him hosts of friends
throughout the country. Manager Co
burn has succeeded in engaging Mr..
Glynn again for the coming season, not
withstanding catering offers from the
vaudeville circuits. where he has lust
finished a summers tour, He will be
seen with the big show soon at the New
Lyceum Theatre in all new repertoire
of songs, musical numbers, funny situa-
tons and new acts. mick alone is
worth the price, Honors are divided
this season with Governor Rowen, from

and "Nicodemus" are a pair to
draw to.

ASSOCIATION

In another column is an ac-
count of the organization in Nox-
ubee Of a truck-growing associa-
ton. Public spirited and pro-
gressive men, some of them with
little or no direct financial inter
est in truck-growing, are active
in the movement and the whole
county is included in the plan
and every section represented in
the directorate.
The people of the county can
not better demonstrate their in
telligence and progressiveness
than by prompt and substantial
backing of this movement. Other
counties in this and other states
have waited until the boil weeyil
b%ankrupted the farmers and made
their farms a drug on the market
before going in for diversified
farming. NoXubee has not yet
been hurt much, but we will be
unless our people make the
change in time.
1t takes money to start any
thing, even growing cabbages.
Our farmers know nothing about
gardening on a large scale and
for distant markets. There is no
business man in the county hand
ling garden products for ship
ment. Until the industry is well
started some one of experience
in both is needed.
The newly formed association
is organized mainly to get such a
man and insure him his salary for
the first year. 1t has several
hundred dollars in hand now and
needs several hundred dollars
more. Nothing more ought to be
needed and nothing more is
needed in NoXube1 than to let
the people know the facts, and
the needed money will be forth
coming.
The experience of the recently
established creamery here should
encourage the truck-growers.
Cream from farms in every direc-
ton, many located ten and fifteen
miles from the creamery is com
ing in three times every week,
and the creamery is finding no
trouble in marketing its butter.
With truck-growing, dairying
and cattle raising NoXubee coun-
tvs prosperity will be indepen-
not only of the boil weevil,
but of many other evils.
