Cotton in Bad shape.

Mr.. ". G. johnson, who lives about
eight miles east came in last Saturday
with a sack full Of bolIs infested with
the weevil and the weather. To those
interested in the life of the cotton farm
or and in the vital things that emanate
from the producer, the sight of the
infected bolls rotten and bored to
death-was absolutely pathetic.
Mr.. Johnson urges the holding of cot
ton on demand. In Texas the price has
already been set at 65 cents. Mr.. john
son states, and a man is blind to his
own interests to sell now. Mr.. Johnson
has planted about IS acres. He has also
cane. corn. peas and potatoes, with good
prospects for the maturing crop.
Mr.. Johnson's neighbors crops are all
in about the shape Of his.

TRACTOR ATTRACTS FAaMsas.
Two Day Demonstration Demonstrates
versatility- Can FLOW Eight Acres

two days tractor demonstration un-
der the auspices of the Kees-overIand
Co., was held this week at Mr.. Pink
Mason's farm. The machine used easily
proved to the many farmers who saw
the demonstration that 1t could be pro-
fitably used on large farms in this sec
tion. Two three horse plows are pull
ed at one time, cutting thirty inches
wide and eight Inches Deep capable of
plowing six to eight acres in days
time, depending on the one man who
can operate the machine.
A double disc harrow showed that 1t
could go over unplowed ground and cul-
tivate it even better than the average
one-horse plow at rate Of ten or twelve
acres day. All the farmers approved
the work done by the machine. Their
only hesitation in holding one was on
account Of the price which ranges from
$500 to $500 according to its working
equipment.

Impossible, it Seems, to ssr Securities
ISSUED for Purpose Of Build
ing Roads In mississippi.

Jackson, Miss.-The various counties
in Mississippi that recently authorized
bond issues for good road purposes are
having hard time marketing their Sc
curities.
County bonds, like state bonds, are a
drug on the market, and the only in
stances recently in which these securi-
ties have been disposed of occurred
where local banks, as a matter of civic
pride. bought the bonds at par.
E Jones county offered a 100000 issue
q few days since, and failed to get any
bids. One Of the banks at Laurel offer
ed to take. $4,000 of the issue at par,
but the offer was rejected.
Attorney General Frank Robertson is
now in New York trying to sell from
s250,O00 to 100000 Of the state bond
issue. but thus far has not found a
buyer.
