PLANTING STATE CROP

Jackson, Miss, April 14.-More than
200 convicts on the state farms are
now engaged in planting the seasons
cotton crop, and the work viii be
COMPLETED within the next ten days.
I'VE will plant about eight thousand
acres in cotton. or practically the
same acreage as last year. says SUI
perfntendent e. J. O'Keefe. 'The cot
ton crop will be confined wholly to
the Parchman and Belmont farms, no
cotton being planted on the Oakley or
Rankin places. We have found by
experience that it does not pay TO use
convict labor growing cotton IN the
hill counties, and the acreage at Bel
mont and Rankin will be confined to
food and forage crops"
An effort was made at the recent
legislative session to secure the pass
age of a bill authorizing the sale OF
the Rankin farm on the ground that
it has been Improbable. The bill
passed the Senate, but was defeated
in the House.
