INVESTIGATION
PAYS IN LOWNDES
Planter Demonstrates How
Money Is Made by Inten-
sive Farming

Fort Deposit. july 3O.L(Speclal)-A.
f. Brooks of Fort Deposit has plainly
demonstrated to the farmers of this
community that by diversification and
intensive farming, more can be made on
poor, worn out land As an example
which illustrates the above fact, Mr..
Brooks purchased so acres of badly
washed poor land near Fort Deposit
a couple of years ago which had been
operated by the tenant system until the
land was so impoverished that 800
pounds of seed cotton per acre was
considered an average crop. Mr.. Brooks
improved this land and has growing on
this tract of land. in the pink of con-
dition, such crops as corn cotton, peas.
potatoes, sugar cane. ground peas,
sorghum, Egyptian wheat. soy, and vel
vet beans and several varieties of mil
let.
On an adjoining place Mr.. Brooks has
about 100 head of fine Duroc jersey
class market condition by turning them
on this land after the crop of corn and
cotton has been gathered.
There are other farmers in this inn
mediate vicinity who are initiating Mr.
Brooks example, in view of the fact
that something must be done in order
to offset the rayages of the boil weevil.
which is on us now, as they were re-
ported several weeks ago about six
miles west of Fort Deposit.
Several carloads of fine home raised
beef cattle were shipped to a New Or
leans market this week by J. W. Nc
crory and Professor Ray, two of
Lowndes county's progressive citizens.

more men like Mr.. Hefn. the country
would be better off. He described Mr..

send her somewhere else.
Inez MilholIand Doctrine
Miss Inez Milholland, the leading So
cialist and suffragette, said recently in
New York, that the three great questions
of the age are, 'Woman's suffrage, social
ism, and the higher criticism. In this
brief statement She has marshaled to-
gether three of the most dangerous, aye,
the readlest enemies of the republic
Womans suffrage means the ultimate de-
struction of the American home. Social
ism means the destruction of the repub-
lie. and the higher criticism, which denies
the existence of God. means the over
throw of the church-the death kneH of
the Christian religion. God of our fathers
deliver us from this craze.
"A good woman was asked the other
day by a suffragette If she was a be-
lever In that cause, and she said, No,

like arguing the matter before the
