on September 9th, 1874 in the town OF
Wyoming, Pa, the son of George and
Sarah Swallow, both of whom after
wards came to Danville and resided
with their son on Franklin street. He
was educated at the University of
Michigan at Ann Arbor, graduating in
the class of 1871. He came immediate
ly to Danville from college and entered
the law Office of Hon. Oliver L. Davis
where ne remained for few years and
then hung out his shingle on his own
hook. Afterwards he formed a law
partnership with Hon. William J. CAL
houn, now United States ambassador to
the republic of China. In 1884 Mr..
Swallow was elected states attorney of
this county and served one term. A
number of famous cases came up ddr-
ing his term in that office. After retir-
ing from the Office, Mr.. Swallow en-
gagged in mercantile pursuits. He first
organized a creamery company that
had its headquarters at Glenburn and in
1890 he and Hon. W. ]. Calhoun orga-
nized the Glenburn Coal Company,
which failed to produce much revenue,
mainly through the fact that much of
the coal could not be mined because of
the bad roofing
About five years ago, Mr.. Swallow
purchased plantation in the South.
He had returned to Danville upon sew
eral occasions since and was pleased
with his new home.
Mr.. Swallow was a Mason, Pythian
and an honored member of the Vermil-
lion county bar.

OUR OAT CROP.

There is a splendid prospect for a
good oat crop in this county this year.
Every man who hasToats should try 100
pounds of nitrate of soda on one acre
this spring. Put this out while the oat
blades are dry. The hest time to apply
it is in the afternoon, before the dew
forms, when the ground is wet. Use
this any time the oats appear red and
growing slowly. You need not harrow
the ground. }. W. HADDoN,

ENCOURAGE THE NEGROES.

We have about sixty negro men in
the county corn growers contest, and
we have about forty negro boys in a
negro boys corn club. Every white
man in the county should encourage the
negroes. Invite them to try for these
prizes the county has offered. 1t is
very necessary right now to give the
negro all the encouragement you can.
If you improve his condition, that i'm
proves you. Teach him to try to grow
his own corn and have a good garden.

Suggestions From the
Agricultural Commissioner.
THE BOIL wEEvIL.

The land for cotton crop is being
prepared as rapidly as weather ccndi
tions will permit. About the usua
acreage will be planted, it seems. The
preparation for the crop is about like il
was last year, and rather poor for 8
fight against the boil weevil. The
farmers west of Noxubee river are 60
ing to have to put up big fight this
season against the weevil, and now is
best time to begin that fight. You
know where weevils hibernate, and if
you don't make an earnest effort to re-
duce their number before planting your
crop you will neglect an opportunity
that is worth as much as good prepara-
tion of the land. Burn out all stumps
and dead trees. burn eff bitches, clean
off fence rows and destroy every imagin-
able hiding place. This should be done
before the cotton comes up.
About chopping out time keep up a
close watch for weevils in the buds of
the young plants. They are feeding up-
on these tender buds early in the plants
life growth. Look for them in the early
morning and late in the afternoon. If
you find any you know your duty-get
in, after them, pick them off and de-
stroy them. / know some of you say
you are not going to do this, and most
of you are not, this year at least; but
there is coming year when you will do
it or you will make cotton stalks with
out bolls.
Prepare your seed bed well before
you plant and if you ever used fertilizer
profitably, use it heavily this year.
You must hasten your crop to maturity
with thorough preparation, liberal use
of high grade fertilizers and most of all
with SHALLOW and FREQUENT cultiva-
tion. Numbers of cotton growers are
going to lose out be cause they are in
rut our fathers made years and years
ago.
HOG CROPS.
AS ride through the county, see
here and there small herds of hogs, but
see very few farmers who are planning
to carry these hogs through the summer
and dry fall. 1t is part of your farm
ing to provide your .iags withagso go,
growing crops, and if you want to pro-
duce pork at less than market price,
you will have to furnish these crops.
Now is a good time to plant rape Pre-
pare. the land well, fertilize we'll and
plant in drills 80 inches az art. About
the Goth of May plant soy beans. Two
weeks later plant another patch of
beans. Also in May plant Spanish pea
nuts, with another planting following
in June. This last planting will provide
good grazing in September. Then your
corn and pea field are ready for the
nogs. September is the month to put
n rape, oats, rye, crimson clover and
yetch.
The Alabama station made pork for
ess than cents pound and you can.
90, if you will supply your hogs with
,lenty to eat.
