A PROFITABLE PLAN.

DR.. W. ", DurdCn, who oper.
ates large plantation ia the
Delta and who is interested in
modern agriculture and methods
of farming, told, a Dispatch rep
resentative yesterday of a com
mendable plan adopted by one OF
the Delta planters.
The planter who operates 2
plantation with several ne
gro families gave the head OF
each family a hundred hens, tell
ing them that he would buy the
eggs at a certain price during the
entire season and explaining that
this would be their means of cash
revenue during the growing crop
season. He warned them to give
diligent attention to the culture
Of the poultry in order that they
might receive ample returns to
meet their living expenses.
As result of the operation Of
the plan each family derives an
income Of from $5 to 81 per week,
and the planter makes a nice
profit on the eggs, which are
marketed in Memphis. Columbus
