Cultivate Cotton Late
James A. Wade Commissioner of Agriculture.
Progressive Farmer.

Progressive Farmer.
Late cultivation for cotton is
the most profitable thing you can
do, if done shallow and regularly.
Plow to conserve moisture; to ad-
NIT air and sunshine TO come into
contact with the soil; to destroy
and prevent the germinatlon of
grass and weeds; to kill insects
and to keep the plants in normal
health, growing and fruiting.
There are five good reasons for
late cultivation, any OF which
will pay the expense of cultiva-
ting and all Of which wi i pay for
the cultivation five times.
1.'Plowing to conserve moisture
is cutting the pores of the soil to
stop evaporation and keep moist
ure in the soil for the plants dur
ing the hot dry days which are
sure to come some time in the
lie OI d crop.
2. Flowing admits air and sun
shine into the soil, feeds nitro
gen to the bacteria that help to
make plant food available. Sun
shine gives heat and purites the
soil by driving out insects and
! is otherwise advantageous.
3. Flowing kills grass and
weeds and prevents seed of the
same from terminating. 1t is
just as necessary to plow to
prevent vegetation as to destroy
4. Flowing kills insects, such
as boil weevils. To kill boil
weevils pillow shallow and two or
three times between rains when
weather will permit. Agitate
the plants with a brush or some
thing attached to the plow that
will not break or bruise the
plants. When rain is falling
every day you cannot do much
but think, pick infested squares
and plan.
5. Cultivation keeps the plants
healthy, growing and fruiting.
To make the largest crop this
must be kept up. 1t will not
keep up any longer than the next
cultivation is due if you stop.
Be sure to plow shallow and
avoid cutting off the little feed
ifToots. They are OUT gathering
the food which you make avail
able for the plants by fertilizing
and cultivating. Cutting the
roots seriously is sure to cause
shedding.

Cunningham Denies

Bonneville, Miss, Aug. S.-To
NY Friends-The charges circu
lated in the district for political
purposes that Mr.. Gambler or Mr..
Sweat paid or offered to pay or
promised me anything to effect
nv withdrawal from the race for
Congress in this district is utterly
false.
After my withdrawal had been
fully determined by myself and
friends, Mr.. Rankin's brother
from Tupelo, and Mr.. Sweat,
Hon. Il. S. Gamblers friend, of
Corinth, were called to Bonneville
and notified in a similar way of
my withdrawal, and both ap-
peared to appreciate the cour'
tesy.
Such a silly falsehood is not on
ly an injustice to myself but the
gravest injustice to Mr.. Gambler
as a candidate for Congress.
Ifsuch methods are to be toler-
ated slander will be put at a
premium and falsehood given an
impetus of thrift and encourage
ment.
This report, industriously cir,
eulated, is known to be false by
its instigator, and deserves moth.
ing but the utter content OF all
fair minded people.

A Believer in Tile Drainage

Decidedly one of the largest
and most upto.date plantations
in all of the Yazoo Mississippi
Delta territory is that of Hon. S.
IF. Jones-known as the Race
Track plantation, six miles north
east of Greenwood on the Talla-
hatchie river.
The Race Track plantation is
now composed of 340O acres, most
of which is very fine buckshot
soil, and all but about 300
acres being in a high state of cul-
tivati0n.
This magnificent property has
been mostly opened up and i'm
proved by Mr.. Jones since he
acquired several adjacent tracts
to Race Track. More than half
of his holdings consist of very low
lands, part of same being big
cypress brake and lake near his
present lovely plantation home.
Mr.. Jones believed that he
! could take these lowlands, (Which
fne bBdght' for $1,000 an acre !,
and by putting in complete sys.
tenn of tile drainage, make one of
the most valuable plantation
properties in Lehore county. He
got busy and proceeded with the
work of having these lands thor,
oughly tiled at an average ex.
pense of $25 per acre. The great
expense attending the vast under
| taking didn't in the least deter
him in his determination to make
Race Track in reality a model
plantation, and he gave his capa-
BILE and progressive manager, Mr..
J. 7. Kerr, instructions to go
ahead with the work of tiling un-
til the Job was complete-which
aggregated a total cost of $780,
600, and which Mr.. Jones consid-
ers one of the very best invest
ments he has made since he begun
farming as a barefooted boy in the
vicinity of the old county site at
McNutt (now Schlater).
1t is well worth a visit to Race
Track plantation and take look
at the wonderful developments
made there by Mr.. Jones during
the past fifteen or twenty years;
to inspect his tile drainage sys-
tenn and see its remarkable effects
in reclaiming lands that were
commonly considered worthless or
useless, before being cleared
up and tile. drained; to see cotton
and corn growing there now as
fine as were eyer grown anywhere
in the world; to view the modern
ginnery and milling plants; to
note the splendid homes for the
owner and for his managers, and
the comfortable cabins for his
multitude of negro tenauts; and
to observe the superb system
which Mr.. Jones has inaugurated
in the operating of the vast bust
ness of this magnificent planta.
) tion-which produces from 1,40O
to 1900 big bales of fine cotton
! every year and from present indi'
cations, we believe, will easily
produce from 1900 to 1900 bales
this year, regardless of the recent
protracted wet spell of weather
In fact, the weather doesn't seem
to have damaged the crops but
; very little, if any, on Race Track
! Manager Kerr informs us that
Race Track made enough corn last
year to run the plantation practi
cally two years, consequently they
reduced the corn acreage about
one half this year-ths greater
