HOW MANY WILL
REGISTER HERE
Estimated Fully Four Thousanf
y Should Register-Less Fear
Among Negroes.

How many will register in Lefiore
county tomorrow for the war draft !?
That is question that is upon nearly
every tongue today and interest in
the matter grows as the time grows
shorter.
According to government estimates
fully four thousand should register in
Lefore County and we should furnish
approximately two hundred for the
new army. Whether these estimates
hold true or not must be proven by the
actual results tomorrow.
There seems to be less talk of fear
among the negroes now than there
was week ago which is encouraging.
The planters and managers and a
number Of the negroes themselves
have been explaining fully that reg
istration does not mean service in the
army and that only small per cent
Of those registering will be called. In
many instances the owners and mana
gers will see to it personally that ne
groes on their places register that
day.
There 10 no estimate obtainable as
to the number Of whites who will reg
lister in Lehore County.

Cooperative System of Selling Pro-

A number of the business, men, and
planters of this city and county have
been discussing the ACCESSIBILITY of or
ganizing a cooperative produce COM
pany such as have been organized in
several cities and towns in. various
parts of the state recently. The plan,
according to reports works like a
charm and all who are taking part are
more than pleased with the results be-
ing secured. Is n j
The plan is cooperative marketing
system with regular shipping days
when the planters bring their produce
to town and it is loaded and shipped
together , ~
The Daily Commonwealth is inves-
tigating the plan and will in a short
time publish an article detailing the
working of the plan as it is being used
in other towns and defining results!
1t has been suggested that this
would be a good proposition for the
Business League to take up and in
vestigate with the intention Of or
ganizing such system in Greenwood.

Some Improvements Noted IN f0ftiOns
y of Lefore, Holmes, Washington,
Sunfower and Yaz0o.
Greenwood, Miss, June 2, 1917.
Editor The Commonwealth:
While the outlook for crops in the
country have travelled the past two
weeks is far from promising, there
has been l am pleased to report some
improvement. can only speak of
conditions in the lower part of Leflore,
western section of Holmes and Yazoo,
the southwestern portion of Washing
ton and Sunfower. The cause of the
unfavorable prospects is virtually the
same in these different sections.
Cold weather retarding termination
and growth; making stands of both
corn and cotton, especially the latter,
so poor that there has been much re-
planting. Crops showed almost i'm
mediately the beneficial effect of the
warmer weather prevailing last week
in May. This improvement however
was almost nullified in most sections
by lack of moisture. Rains-moderate
showers have fallen in few localities.
A good general rain now would be
of immense benefit not only to the
growing crop but in stimulating the
termination of the hundreds of acres
where the plant is trying to come up.
Many fields are very cloddy, cotton is
I think as rule fully fifteen days
later than its normal condition. 1t is
well to mention one feature in the sit
uation which l regard as hopeful
that is the frequent plowings that
have kept fields comparatively free
from weeds and grass and except in
the wet low lands the soil mellow and
in fine shape for rapid growth when
summer does come with warm rains.
So mote it be! >.
