SOIL SURVEY OF

enable farmers of Grenada County
mississippi, to adapt their crops tc
soils to better advantage, the Bureau
Of Soils of the L. S. Department of
Agriculture. in cooperation with the
State of Mississippi. has made a soil
survey of the county. The report
OF the survey. which includes a color

ruSsing soils and their ad~aptabilities,
has just been published by the U. S.
Department Of Agriculture. In
Guided in the report are historical
and geographical sketches of the
county and data in regard to climatic
conditions.
agriculture is the chief pursuit of
Grenada county. and cotton is the
principal crop. Within the last few
gears additional land has been de-
voted to grain and hay, says the re-
port, and many high-grade cattle and
hogs of improved breeds have been
introduced. Tick eradication has so
far progressed that the county has
neen released from quarantine. Much
ind has been fenced for pasture,
chiefly the hill lands that have been
out of cultivation for many years.
DaIrying is given some attention by a
few farmers near Grenada. There
are d few small iocks Of sheep on the
spiAnds. These are kept at a very
low cost. and sheep raising would
doubtl-s increase in Importance if it
we're not for the menace of the num-
erous dogs.
Oats are coming into favor for
winter grazing and many small fields
are sow,d for this purpose. Very
little rye is grown and no wheat. In
q few places crimson clover has been
grown as a winter crop, with good re-
suits

Washington, Sept. I. - President
Wilson's reply to the Pope will be
spread over Germany by aeroplanes,
if there is any tendency on the part
of the German press to change it's
meaning.
The President is determined on this.
He wants his message to reach the
German people. He wants them to
read and know for themselves that
the United States is warning not up
on them but upon Imperialism. He
will not have it presented in garbled
form.
Airplanes have r&ided West Phalia.
They have approached close to Ber-

KAISER is WARNED BY
REICHSTAG TO MEND WAYS
Unless the Demands For Reforms Are
Met Majority Parties Threaten
to Act.

Copenhagen, Sept. IA warning
that unless the German government
needs demands of the reichstag for
reforms, the majority parties will act,
was given before the reichstag main
committee. Resolutions of the ma
jority introduced by DR.. Karl Heine,
Socialist, dem anded for the fourth or
fifth time abolition Of the political
censorship and limitation of the mill
tary censorship to facts connected
with the conduct of the war and crit
icism thereof. This was held to be
necessary. because it is notorious that
the military authorities exercise a
sweeping political censorship of the
German press on the pretense that
publications of political nature may
affect the military spirit Of the people.
DR.. Heine gave the government four
weeks, until the assembling of the
reichstag, to mend it's ways. Other
wise, he said, the reichstag majority
would be forced to take steps.

Washington, Sept. Prospects of
an early and radical drop in bread
prices apparently vanished when
Herbert Hoover, the food administra-
tor, announced that the best the pub
lie may expect is a 16-Ounce loaf for
ten cents or possibly eight cents. The
16-ounce loaf is possible, Mr.. Hoover
said, only if the bakers, retailers and
consumers unite to eliminate wasteful
distribution methods and cooperate to
obtain a standardized loaf.
Flour Price Should be Reduced.
The price of family -four, he said,
should be reduced at the present price
of wheat two or three dollars a bar
rel, at least. Bakers flour, however,
will sell little cheaper than at pres
ent
G. /. Corby, who is serving for the
bakers of the country as voluntary
aid to Mr.. Hoover, said that 16-ounce
loaf for 10 cents would represent a
slight reduction in present prices.
Standardization, he said, would be
hard to bring about, since varying

have made it necessary to increase or

Price Reduction Delayed.
No move will be made toward price
reduction, Mr.. Corby said, until the

plans for dealing with the baking in
dustry It may be a month before the
program is ready, it was learned.
"The bakers have been and are hold

Corby, ito effect the conservation of
wheat. They have been cooperating
with Mr.. Hoover and have supplied
data and facts to assist the food adj
in perfecting it's plans
relative to bread.

public to disregard the many ridiculous
statements about bread, emanating
from unreliable sources, and ask that
they await the announcement of the

drops of freezone applied directly on a

GERMAN WOMEN MAY REVOLT
LIKELY TO HAVE MUCH TO DO
WITH PUNISHMENT OF KAISER.
Suffering Has Made Them Begin to
SuIk at Continuance of War-Com-
ing Winter to Be Worst of All.

Washington, Sept. 1.-Germany'k
women are likely to have much to do
in remolding Teuton peace opinion.
Suffering from short rations, torn with
sorrow over their losses, they are be-
ginning to sulk at continuance of the
war. This spirit, coupled with a gen.
eral war WEAKNESS and stirring de.
sire for governmental liberalism, are
elements upon which authorities here
not far distant.
State department advices indicate
that the coming winter will be the
worst Germany has experienced since
the great struggle started. Some
crops are short. Fats are scarce.
Smaller ratiOns are in force.
Kaiser Expecting Trouble.
The kaiser himself begins to see the
signs of trouble, for he has ordered
the newspapers not to print his name
so much. Hence the German people
are no longer fed on fulsome praise of
leader whose authority is being as
sailed.
One evidence OF food shortage is
that prisoners, always scantily fed, are
now on even lower rations. Turnips
and beet soups, sometimes favored
nettles, with now and then potato,
constitute the bulk Of their diet. To
make their lot worse, Germany is fore
ing them to work on the west fropt,
frequently In direct line Of fire.
All this is found in official reports
showing that revolution may be near
er than surface indications show.

it looked as If it would be unable to
come to a conclusion, but a compro-
mise was reached and the last vote
was unanimous.
Representative Of the producers be-
gan by voting for a price Of $3.50 and
labor's representatives for $1.84. The
two extremes eventually narrowed
down until the votes we're only a few
cents apart and most of the voting
showed only slight difference. Both
factions appeared uncompromising at
the start.
Differentials Announced.
On the basis of 1920 at Chicago the
food administration worked out differ
entails for the various grades and
classes and for the several terminals.
In a statement accompanying the
announcement of the price, President
Wilson declares it is the hope of the
food administration, and his own as
well, that the fixing Of price will sta
Billie the market and keep prices with
in moderate bounds for all transactions
during the current year.
Prices to Be Kept Down.
The prices OF flour and bread, too,
the President declares, will be kept
down.
The committee in it's report to the
siderations that entered into it's DELHI
eratiOns the following:
The fact that the United States is
at war, the need of encouraging the
producer and the necessity of reducing
the cost of living to the consumer.

sions that the price fixed will permit
Of a 14-ounce loaf of bread for cents,
allowing a fair profit both to the -four
manufacturers. and the baker.
