100 BUSHELS OATS TO ACRE.

As an evidence Of the splendid pro-
ducing qualities Of Leflore County soil,
The Commonwealth WAS shown If few
days since a photograph Of the magnih-
cent oat field of Messrs. s. r. Ksesler
and Gus Aron, owners of . farm on the
former Bend plantation. across the
fazoo River, opposite Greenwood.
This oat crop was planted the latter
part Of last November and harvested
June 18th yielding Its owners 100
bushels TO the acre, and weighing e
pounds to the bushsl. No special pre-.
psration Of the land was made, nor IL
the soil extra fine average Delta
land. This superb on. crop evidences
too, that the Delta farmers need have
no fears about the boil wsevil -- because
any section Of the country where 100
bushels Of oats to the acre q BIZ pro-
dseed. Is amply able to take care Of
Itself, regardless Of boil weevils.

Mayor Stranahan ResiQns.

There was lively session of the
city council Saturday evening, the
subject of discussion being the al
legged failure of Police Magistrate Kin
der to enforce city ordinance relat-
ing to the restricted district. The
problem of dealing with this evil is
a very perplexing one in most Of the
municipalities, and it is generally met
by adopting measures that will confine
such places to some remote part of the
town where it receives the least pub.
licity.
The meeting of the city council Sat
urday evening was the occasion for
taking official action upon the COM
plant that the police magistrate had
failed to perform his duty in the prose
cution of offenders against the city
ordinance. Mayor Stranahan insisting
that under such circumstances the
magistrate should be removed from
office. After an extended discussion
several of the members of the coun
c,l announced their willingness to &C
| cept Mr.. Kinders resignation, should
| it be rendered, but upon test vote
they declined to declare his Office va
cant without his consent.
Upon ascertaining the position o
| the aldermen in this matter, Mayo
! Stranahan handed in his resignation
which was placed on file withou
further action by the council.

Nearly $4,000 From One Cow.

A bulletin issued by the Montana
agricultural college at Bozeman says
another remarkable record has been
made by cow in the herd belonging
to the college, to go with that made
by the famous COW Polander, breaker
of worlds records three years ago.
The new candidate for dairy honors is
a Halstein. Nora Konigen, No. 644S9.
In the seven years she has been in
the college herd, she has produced ov-
er $4,000 pounds of milk and twice her
own weight in butter-fat, besides leav-
ing line of defendants numbering
eighteen heifers and ten bulls, every
one healthy. vigorous, productive
animal.
A kind-faced old black and white
COW is Nora konigen. No. 644S9. She
looks and acts for all the world like
many another COW in the college herd,
yet, she stands at the head OF the
line--queen Of them all.
1t is left to the reader to judge as
to whether Nora Konigen was good
investment. The sum of $175.O0 was
paid for her when less than five years
old, and $125.OO for her calf-a total
investment of 100000. The total
amount of milk produced from this
COW and her defendants is in round
numbers 243,40O pounds, at sc per
quart equals gross return of $2,S3O..
20. The bulls have all been sold when
few weeks old for 100000 each
amounting to 81 900. The heifers still
in the herd are valued at $4,000, max
ing total gross return Of $7,S3O.00.
The cost of keep, which includes
feed, labor, shelter, insurance, etc.
amounts to considerable sum; yet
after these items of expense have been
allowed, there is still left wide mar
gin of profit. This is the kind of COW
that will put the farmer on the road
to prosperity, and cause him to remark
that the COW. the cream, and the
creamery check will soon pulverize the
mortgage on the farm-by heck!
