A temporary injunction was
secured by Judge II. NJ Meeks
and the papers have been served
in the case.
The state claims that the lease
contract between Burdick and the
West Tennessee Land Company
is not binding on the state in any
way, and that the lake, by yir-

was asked in regard to the mat
ter and said that there was no
doubt in his mind that the state
had perfect title to the
lake, but that il was necessary
TO take some steps in order to
quie: disturbances fhere. He
declared that in his opinion no
sae person has any more right on
the lake than another, except
such as he may obtain from the
state. He also believes that as
soon as matters are adjusted il
will be easy to establish fish
at Reelfoot Lake to
supply the many streams of the
state.

FULTON COUNTY COTTON
Is A GOLD MINE"

In the last annual report issued
from the Department of Agricul-
tnre Of Kentucky, Commissioner
Newman informs the public that
Fulton county raises tobacco,
corn, wheat and gardens extern
sively. We do; but ding it, those
are small factors with US today.
We are long on cotton and alfalfa.
Cotton is the one big crop
of the west half OF the county,
hut no mention "a made of this
in the annual report. W. &.
Reed, of the Hickman Bank &
Trust CO., who has a way of ev.
erlasting sticking to his home
town and county, took the
Commissioner TO task for not
giving us proper credit The
gentleman, in response to his
communication, writes as follows:
II have your letter of June
22nd. thank YOU for calling IN,
attention TO the amount of cot
ton produced in Fulton county,
| have known for some time of
the production of cotton in Full
ton county, but did not know it
Rad reaehed such an enormous
sum
II shall be glsd % make note
% thls % the next report an'l
wal 'ty % get lsis Figures rqop
the subject when take this up.
Il think that cotton growers
in Fulton county have "a gold
mine IN the production of seed
cotton In other words it is a
well known fact that any plant
transplanted from northern eli
mate TO a southern climate viii
ripen much earlier than the ma
tive plant, hence when cotton
seed are planted in Mississippi
that are grown in Fulton county,
Kentucky, the cotton viii mature
earlier than some native seed of
the same variety. This is very
important since the introduction
of boil weevil into the South.
IF this department can be of
any service to cotton growers a.
long this line, please command
it. Perhaps your growers have
already taken advantage of this,
but If so would like to know it.
II they want to take it up, please
have some Of them communicate
with me"
