DELTA PEOPLE PROSPEROUS, SAYS
COTTON STATES MERCHANTS V.-P.

The Delta people in Mississippi are

short corn and cotton crops J. +.
Crowell, merchant, Of ltta Bena, Miss,
vice president of the Cotton States
Merchants association, declared when

ing Of the executive committee of the
association. hCrops are looking mighty
sorry now, the cotton worse than the
corn, and | don't know how we are
going to come out this season, said
Mr.. Crowell, but we people of the
Delta are might resourceful people and
besides we have more money than we
have ever had before. Last year was
a mighty good year and bank de-
posts in our section are heavier than
they have ever before been. There is
a great deal of money on deposit and 1t
chiefly belongs to the small farmers.
The negroes In our section are enjoy
ing the common prosperity and own
as fine automobiles as the white farm
ers. I passed a negro church not long
ago and noticed six big, expensive au-
tomobiles parked in front of the church
and only one Ford. The merchants of

Mr., Crowell says he is doing all he
can to boost the Cotton States Mer-
chants convention, which will take
place in Memphis Aug. 10. 20 and 81,
and that he expects a good attendance
from Delta merchants,
George A. Lamb. of Bono, Ark, mer-

Alkali in Shampoo
Bad for Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious, as 1t dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsified CO.
coanut oil sha npoo, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap
and beats anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store, and
a few ounces will last the whole family
for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful Is all
that is required. 1t makes an abundance
of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thor
oughly, and rinses out easily. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and is soft,
fresh looking, bright, fluffy. wavy and
easy to handle. Besides. it lossens and
takes out every particle Of dust, dirt
n dandruff. adv.

FIRST THROUGH SERVICE
SHIPMENT IS RECEIVED

The first through merchandise car of
package freight from New York TO
reach Memphis since the through SER
vice was discontinued shortly after the
government took over the railroads,
arrived Monday via the Nashville, Chat
tanooga & st. Louis railroad and the
Clyde Steamship line, making the trip
in seven days, a saving of from two to
six weeks over the service previous to
the establishment of the new through
service.
The car contained merchandise for 80
local merchants. In speaking Of the
new service, the head of the receiving
department of Gerber's store said the
fast package freight service from New
York and Eastern points, which the
new arrangement assures, will mean a
great thing to Memphis merchants.
When the government took over the
railroads. he said, the through package
ignored, so that there was no way OF
telling how long a package would be in
transit. To trace a package shipment
was out of the question, he said.
The ~, c. & st. L.-Clyde line pack
age service had proved very reliable, he
said. and the merchants Immediately
took up the matter with the railroad
administration and N, c. & st. l.. off
Gals of having it restored, but without
avail until only recently. The govern
ment finally consented to restore the
through line If the through package
business to Memphis would justify it.
Local merchants are confident that the
new service will not fail for lack of To-
cal support, since a reliable fast sChed-
ule for package shipments from the
East Is Of vital Importance to Memphis
business interests, they say.
The shipments are handled out of
New York to Boston to Charleston, N.

the length Of land leases so as to en-
able and encourage the tenan to d.
versify his crops, to plant crops thsi
will improve the fertility of the land
and to introduce livestock under a share
system by which the landlord will share
with the tenant the profit from the
crops and livestock"
Under the present system. MIR. Hay
den said, the tenant is a nomad, who
is continually drifting about the country
and takes no interest in the upbuilding
Of the communities in which he lives,
Owing to the short lease he holds on
land, he plants crops with which he
can get the most profit in the quick
est time. He makes no attempt to
build up the land by rotation or by linz
ing, because he would reap very little
benefit from such a system. If no
should lime his land one year, he might
not enjoy more than 20 per cent bene-
fit from the lining. He would leave
the land and some successor would get
the benefits for which he labored and
spent money.

INCREASE AREA OF SORGHUMS
From Dwarf Milo and Dawn kafir-Demand for Seed.

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture)
 Grain sorghum area increased from 3,944.000 acres in 1916 to 5,153,0OO in 1917, or more than 30 per cent, while the production increased from 53,S5S,- 900 to 75,S66000 bushels, or over 40 per cent. This largely increased quantity of grain was consumed through the ordinary channels with out any undue drop in price. Farm CTS report excellent results from Dwarf milo and Dawn kafir, the va rieties bred and distributed by the United States department of agricul- ture, and the demand for seed in- creases. In parts of Arizona and California Dwarf milo is grown sue cessfully on irrigated land after bar ley is harvested, thus enabling the grower to produce two grain crops on tie same land in one year.
