Some Good Crops

To have a crop on 40 acres of
land worth over twice what 32O
acres cost is unusual, but the
400 acre farm of j w. Kennedy in
the Pea Ridge neighborhood
presents such a spectacle. Mr..
Kennedy has so acres of timothy
and wheat as pretty and even as
one would care to see. 1t is a.
bout 4 feet high and of excellent
quality, estimated to make from
l25 to $50 tons. Mr.. Kennedy
cuts and threshes it together,
separates the wheat from the
timothy. and tinds a ready home
market for the timothy seed, as
there are few here who thresh
the timothy. He estimates the
value of his present crop on the
80 acres at $4,000 He paid $3.50
for 800 acres. He has also 40
acres OF fine corn, yes, he has a
100 ton concrete silo. He has
tomatoes planted between the
corn rows "a method he has
found highly successful He has
also so more acres of tomatoes
80 in all-and about 300 more
contracted for putting up at his
home factory Midway, and at
Macomb and Norwood aud Olathe
at which place he will erect a
factory at once. He will soon
commence putting up tomatoes.
His sons are associated with him
in the business, and they are
recognized as the largest tomato
growers in the world. One year
they put out $40 acres of toma.
toes, Mr.. Kennedy is splendid
executive, a hard worker and
has proved that farming and to
mato growing are profitable in
the Ozarks.

II I'm HURTS COTTON
OF MISSISSIPPI PEN
Trustees Report Expresses Be
lief Loss to Crop Is rs
Per Cent.

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 4.-The board
of trustees Of the penitentiary held
then monthly meeting today, filed
their written reports. purchased lot
oA drugs, hardware and other items
Of small interest and adjourned.
The reports filed show that the
trustees all agree the cotton crop has
suffered heavy loss during the past
month on account OF the rains, that
fail planting has been seriously re-
tarded, and that convicts and live
stock are all In fine shape for the
winter. The report OF ]. e. Thames
trustee for the southern district, is
as follows:-
The unprecedented rainfall for
the month Of October has SO retard-
ed all operations over the entire
penitentiary system that 1t is very
difficult to sum UP the situation from
an inspection ct this time. 1t ap-
pears to me that the damage to cot
ton and cottonseed may be as high
as rs per cent. But little eottcn has
been picked for the past three weeks,
and estimate that there are some
1000 or more bales in lhe fields at
Parchman.
The 100 bales sold since our
last meeting, in my judgment,
brought good price. The superin-
tendent has been sowing some wheat
when he could get day that was
favorable. There is nice lot OF
alfalfa yet to cut, making the sixth
time that some Of It has been cut,
and we are sure Of plenty Of hay as
well as corn for another year. While
the corn has not all been gathered
yet. l believe we will have surplus
Of from $4,000 to 100000 bushels
for which we should realize good
price later on.
There has been no cotton ginned
at the new farm, OF course, picking
has been delayed here for the same
reason as at Parchman. Some corn.
has been gathered here, and think
will be ampte to run the place an
other year.
''Fifty-four bales have been gin
ned at Belmont, and is a good grade
Of short cotton. This place should
get fifty or sixty more bales If the
weather conditions permit 1t to be
gathered. Much hay has already
been saved, and an unusually large
sugar cane crop has been raised.
The Rankin and Oakley Farms
hsvA had q very hard time saving
the large quantities Of hay and 9TH
er feedstuff necessary to carry the
stock through the winter, and 1t
seems that ample provision has been
made for this. A splendid crop OF
sugar cane has been raised at Rank
in as well as sweet potatoes, and the
sergeant has several acres of rye and
vetch planted. much of which is al
ready UP to a good stand, and more
oats and rye are being planted.
The two cars Of cattle shipped
brought a satisfactory price--the
steers bringing from Y to " cent
more than we were offered here. Two
or three cars Of cows (canners and
cutters) are ready to be shipped, and
! recommended that they go to the
st. Louis market.
The prisoners at all the camps
found to be In their usual good
health, there being only few cases
OF chills among them. Except two
or three complaints OF mistreatment
the prisoners say they are being
properly cared for.
THE lime plants. of course, have
done but little work during the con-
tinued bad weather.

ppOses Arguments for Increas-

ductiOn as UnfOunded.

Washington, Nov. shaking his
rst address before the International
abor Conference. in which he sits
an unofficial representative of
merican labor, Samuel P. Gompers.
esident of the American Federation
( Labor. declared today for the
traight eight-hour day as a maxi
num as compared with the forty
ight-hour-week and incidentally
erved notice that in the I United
States even the eight-hour day would
pe shortened If labor could accom-
plish Its purpose.
Mr.. Gompers spoke in reply to a
majority report on the part, of the
Employer delegates favoring the
principle Of reducing hours. but stat
ing that it could not be put in force
at this time owing to the
need for increased production as a
result Of the war.
The report, submitted by D. S.
Majoribanks of Great Britain, point
cd out the need for special effort Ito
make good the shortage Of food sup-
plies. the reconstruction of devas-
tated regions, and the replacement
OF machinery" and declared that the
progression In the cost of living
would lead to disaster unless the
needs Of the present situation were
considered in conjunction with the
aims OF the. labor representatives"
Stoutly denying that output could
be increased over a considerable pc
riod of time by lengthening hours,
Mr.. Gompers characterized the Amer
lean workmen the most productive
workers in the world and said indus
trial history proves the eight-hour
day to be more productive than a
ten or twelve-hour day.

RACE AT BOWIE,
PRINCE GEORGES CO.

There will be no temporary inter-
ruption of the continuity of racing at
Prince Georges Park, Bowie, under
the auspices OF the Southern Mary
land Agricultural Association. as was
feared last spring when the court
of last record in the Old Line state
declared unconstitutional the act UNI
der which racing had been conducted
t in Prince Georges county since 1914.
General Manager James F. O'Hara OF
the Bowie race track set a staff of
LAWYERS at work on the old Maryland
statutes relating to racing as soon as
the adverse decision of the court was
handed down, and it was discovered
that under an act of 1892 racing may
be conducted at Prince Georges Park
under precisely the same conditions
as obtained under the invalid act.
So Mr.. O'Hara and Clerk of the
Course Joseph McLennan, who is act
ing as one of the placing judges at
Laurel Park, have gone ahead with
preparations for the usual fall meet
ing. And Supt. Richard Pending is
busy fixing up his stables for the ac-
commodation of the most consider
able colony of thoroughbreds that ever
have assembled at the Southern Mary
land track.
