TROOPS LEAVE FOR KENNECOTT


 and Stripes, and it is expected that as soon as MT. Stannard arrives the strike will be settled, as Mir Stan- nard's assistants at kennecott have TO authority to adjust the matter.
 Harold Johnson. formerly of the Jumbo mine. furnishes the Daily Times with another communication on the situation. He writes from Me- Carthy as follows:
 ''The miners have not yet adjusted their differences with the Kennecott Copper Corporation. and are still en- camped at Blackburn. near Mccarthy. No one passing through here would ever suppose strike was OH. As the Mccarthy saloons were closed at the request of the men and the kennecott management. there is perfect order.
 The camp at Blackburn is gaily bedecked with bunting and a dance was held there June 19. Nearly all the ladies of Mccarthy were present. with piano. accordeon and photograph to furnish music. Refreshments were served and the affair succeeded be- yond all expectations. The people of Mccarthy expect to return the com pliment with another dance shortly
 The Japanese cooks are to share in the increased pay demanded by tue men, so they are doing the cooking at the camp. Horseshoe games and ath- letic contests between the rival min CTS are constantly in progress. and the whole affair passes off as a picnic, rather than a strike.
 The mems quarrel is not with the officials. but with the policy and di- rection of the policy of the kennecott Copper Corporation. The following telegram was sent from New York in reply to the miners demands. and was read to them June IS. the night be- fore the walkout:
 " Advise men We cannot agree to their demands. as they are unfair. as we understand conditions, unless con- ditions have changed since last De- cember, when wage question was ap- parently settled to satisfaction of all concerned. Stannart leaving Seattle next boat for Alaska Request men to delay action until his arrival to ad- inst grievances
 While the present officials are much more popular than the others. yet their best efforts will not counter balance the unpopularity of policy that has made the Guggenheims the object of universal detestation among the working men of Alaska. If the men are forced to settlement with out having their demands granted. it is doubtful if one-third of them would return to work They are tired of bricks without straw for the Guggenheims "-Cordova Times.

Late last evening in response to a request from the department at Wash ington, United States troops from Fort Liscum were ordered to Kenne- colt, the scene of the big strike in the Kennecott Copper Co.'S property.
 While no violence has been perpe- trated, and the men are peaceably attending to their own business, the presence of several agitators and pro- German sympathizers was believed to render the presence of the troops ne- cessary, and they left for Cordova late last night on the Donaldson, en- training for the mine as soon as they

Farm Loans Moving Too Slow For This
Years Crops.
Perry Co. News.

Perry Co. News.
Some think the Farm Loan bust
ness has moved too slowly and are
inclined to critlcise the system by
which it proposes to work. But
thus far the whole cause of delay has
been due to the fact that the Locals"
were so slow in getting their ob-
abstracts in proper form for making
applications for loans While it
would have been much better if the
farmer could have had their money
at the beginning of the year, there
is always need of money for making
permanent improvements on farm.
We believe 1T is best for every farm
er to 90 right ahead and get what
ever amount of money he can use to
advantage on his farm during the
next year, and if he canuot use it all
just now, place it In the bank till
such time as he can do

MAKE YOURS A SOLDIERS FARM.

BYTE. r, Lloyd Director Cooperation Extra
Work A & M College
Enlist your farm in the first Mis-
slssippi regiment of soldier farmers,
that are serving their state and ma
tion by responding to the cal to sup
ply their fun share OF food and feed
stutfs for the country.
This can be done at little or no sac :
rilicc to the farmer, as food crops and
livestock will be high and may prove
more profitable than even high priced
Gotten.
Hogs aud cattle are bringing rec
ord prices, and by shipping coopera-
lively the farmers are receiving the
full benefit Of these prices. Cora
velvet beans, lespedezt, and in fact,
all OF the crops suited to Mississippi
are needed. 1t is mans first duty
to man to supply food, and secon-
darby rament in the form of cotton
lint. The high prices make the duty
easy to perform.
Men OF no other calling or profess
sion are so privileged TO serve their
country practically and sentimental
ly as the farmers. Every solder
farm will do it's bit not depending
on its neighbour to carry its burdeu.
Grow more corn. more hay, more
hogs.

TO MAKE COTTON FRUIT BETTER
J. c. Pridmore, Asronomist


Inquiry-"My cotton produces plen-
ty of weed. but fruits poorly. What
fertilizer would correct this?
From the knowledge of plant nutri-
ton as it is understood at the pres
emit time, 1t appears that you have a
soil containing fairly good supply
Of nitrogen, but deficient In phosphoric
acid and potash. The element nitro
gen is considered largely with the de-
velopment of vegetative parts OF the
plants, such as the stalk, stems and
leaves. The phosphoric acid Is .respon-
sible to large extent for the develop
ment of the fruit, and the Fastening OF
the maturity Of the plant. Potash gives
general tone and vlgor to the plant,
and improves the quality of the fruit.
The use of fertilizer will supply these
plant food elements, and enable one
to overcome these apparent soil def
ciencies.
A material analysing from / per
cent to 2 per cent nitrogen, 10 per
cent to IL per cent phosphoric acid,
and ! per cent to per cent potash,
could be used probably In such cases.
Apply at the rate Of three or four
hundred pounds per- acre before the
crop is planted, SO that the plant can
get full benefit of the material early
in its growth, especially under boil
weevil conditions.

That there are number of peo-
pie even IN Greene county who have
gone through the winter on short
rations-t that is with less than real
nourishing foods a fact which can
not be denied. The Germans are
having meatless days because they
have to conserve the meat supply in
that country for the duration of the
war. No doubt there have been
children in this storm-swept country
who have had sugarless and a num-
Der OF other less days. but with
warm weather now at hand and with
stuff growing, stocks fattening on the
range and fruits soon coming; let
us hope that the worst has passed
and the lesson has been learned by
those previously unreac he'd, that
we should highly appreciate and use
more economically those blessings OF
living which come to us in this sec
tion when times are normal.

Better Farming i'm the South
PLAN OF CORN CULTURE


plants should now be from twelve to
eighteen inches high.
Put half your fertilizer (this being
the first used at alb in the old sweep
furrow on both sides of every other
middle and cover by breaking out this
middle with turn pillow. About one
week later treat the other middle the
same way. Within few days side
corn In first middle with sixteenth inch
sweep. Put all your nitrate of soda
in this furrow, II less than $50
pounds II more. use one-half of it.
Cover with one furrow of turn pillow,
then SOW peas in this middle broad
cast at the rate Of at least one bushel
to acre, and finish breaking out
In a few days side corn in other
middle with same sweep, put balance
of nitrate Of soda in this furrow. IL it
has been divided, cover with turn
pillow, sow peas, and break out This
lays by your crop with good bed and
plenty Of dirt around your stalk. This
should be from June 10th to goth, un-
less the season is very late. and corn
should be hardly punching for tassel.
Lay by early. More corn is ruined
by late blowing than by lack OF plow-
ing. This is when the ear is hurt.
THE stalks thus raised are very
small, and do not require anything
like the moisture even in proportion
to size than Is necessary for large,
sappy stalks. They may, therefore. be
left thicker in the row. Large stalks
can not make large yields except with
extremely favorable seasons, for they
cannot stand a lack of moisture. Corn
raised by this method should not be
over seven feet high, and the ear
should be near the ground"
For Piedmont Section.
For the Piedmont section the VIII
hanson Plan can not be closely fol-
lowed but must be modified. Half of
the fertilizer should be applied before
planting. The other half should be
applied not later than when corn il
knee high. The nitrate Of soda should
then be applied when the corn is waist
high.
Raise Corn AZ War Measure
In response to the call for food sup
plies in view of war conditions, the
Southern farmer should plant as large
crop of corn as possible. He should
ferttlize literally and cultivate thor.
oughly SO that maximum crops may
be produced. It Is recommended that
from 500 to 900 pounds Of fertilizer be
applied on Piedmont soils and from
500 to LOCO to coastal plain soils.

y .. OSBOhNE Cash Surrender
Value" Tin an interrupted market
demand) cannot be considered as a
crop grown for Real Profit, although
an indirect profit may result in reduc.
Ing the cost of Money Crop.
Money Crop Gives Real Profit
II is the Money Crop that gives
real profit to the farm and a Money
Crop can only be crop OF a known
market value Immediately convertible
into money in any town at any time.
The problem OF supplying the South
ern farmer with a cash market for
other crops that would yield as much
or more profit than he derives from
the cotton crop, has engaged the at
tention Of the farmer and his friends,
and with the assistance of the Boil
Weeyil, they have found solution of
the problem in Peanuts.
The Peanut
The Peanut crop offers wonderful
opportunities. 1t can be grown over
the entire South with profit.
II reaches its perfection In growth
and yield on well drained, gray, sandy
loan soils such as exist In the Coastal
Plains along the Atlantic Seaboard,
which territory - now either occupied
or is being rapidly encroached upon
by the Boil Weevil.
There is q constant demand at a
Cash Surrender Value" from mar
ket that would be difficult to glut with
the peanut, for the reason that there
are five avenues of profit.
Five Avenues Of Profit
First: Progressive oil mills through
out the South are eager buyers of the
Peanut and offer spot cash mar
ket at very remunerative prices. The
oil is In great demand
Second: The nut and vines are a
splendid feed for cattle, producing a
quick growth of Arm and tender meat
A profit In the sales Of cattle thus
fed and fattened is q certainty
Third: The best quality of peanuts
find ready sale at top prices to the
manufacturers Of candy, of peanut but
ter and other CONNECTIONS.
Fourth: Peanut cake (from the oil
mills), fed to hogs, makes a vigor-
GUS growth and gain In weight and
when properly finished OFF, with
corn, gives a firm meat with the fat
containing a proper proportion OF
stearine for making good firm lard
Feeding the whole nut to the hog
Is mistake for two reasons: First,
the value or profit from the oil is
lost, and second, the oil of the nut
gives an excess of oil over stearine

Agrononist of inquiries have
come TO the Farm Service Bureau
about methods of corn culture it is
considered advisable to recommend the
Williamson method to farmers in the
coastal region or those who have sandy
loan soils. The following is an out
line Of the method in Mr. Willamson's
own words:
Break the land broadcast during the
winter, using two horse pillow or,
better, disc pillow. Bed with turp-
pillow six-foot rows, leaving a five-inch
balk When ready to plant, break
this out with scooter Pillow deeply
in the bottom Of this furrow. using a
Dixie with wing taken off Ridge then
on this furrow with same pillow still
going deep. Run the corn planter on
this ridge, dropping one grain every
five or six inches.
plant early as soon as frost dan
ger Is past. Early planting Is espe-
cially needfuf on very rich lands
where stalks can not otherwise be
kept from growing too large
Give the first working with q har-
row or any pillow that will not cover
the plant. For second working use
ten or twelve inch sweep. Corn should
not be worked again until the growth
has been so retarded, and the stalk
so hardened that 1t will never grow
too large This is the most difficult
point in the whole process. Expert
ence and Judgment are required to
know just how much the stalk should
be stunted, and plenty Of nerve Is re-
quired to hold back your corn when
your aeighbors, who fortified at plant
ing time and cultivated rapidly, have
corn twice the size OF yours.
when you are convinced that your
corn has been sufficiently Inundated,
you may begin to make the ear. The

Feeding
Secondary

How has he done it?" was asked.
1T has been the practice of this
farmer to put on his land the amount
Of fertilizer that he could purchase
with the proceeds OF the sale of his
cotton seed from this same land. or
course, this farmer could have grown
his cotton more economically had he
grown it in rotation with other crops.
Loss Through Leachng
Sandy soils naturally erode and
leach readily. Phosphoric acid does
not leach away but remains in the
top twelve inches Of soil till it is used
by the plant. Potash will wash out
of sandy soils to limited extent, but
with clay soils 1t Is practically all
available. The nitrates, on the other
hand. cannot long be retained by the
soil. It is soluble la water and there
fore teaches out with every heavy
rain.
Winter Cover Crops Help
When field is left bare through
the winter months, sometimes more
than 40 pounds of nitrogen is leached
rom an acre 1t will take 500 pounds
of cottonseed meal per acre to replace
this loss of nitrogen. Ii the farmer
plants q cover crop such as rye, Grim
son clover or bur clover. the greater
portion of this nitrogen will be re-
tanned and become available for the
succeeding crop"
