Acreage plan

Leroy Percy, I'm answer TO a re-
quest for his views on cotton acre
age for 1921 wrote as follows;
EX-SENATOR PERCY'S VIEW.
Greenville, Misc. ~ annary 9th, 1891.
Farm Development Bursau,
Chamber OF Commerce,
Memphis. Tenn.
Gentlemen-Replying to your let
ter, in my opinion the, best plan for
acreage for 1921 as adapted to large
delta iarmsaisi S3 1-3 per cent Of clear
ed land In corn, 10 per cent in hay
and other forage crops and the bal
ance in cotton. This is what / have
planned for the year for myself, ex.
pecting to plant the hay land In all
ialfa. The changes In farming from
last year consist In a large acreage
In corn and alfalfa. In fact large
portion OF the corn crop will be
worked BY day labor 30 that the
negroes being furnished more eco
nomically and provided with ra-
tions only. Their cotton acreage
win be cut down and they Will be
given an opportunity Of earning
money by day labor work In corn
and alfalfa with which they can
purchase necessary shoes and clothes.
In my opinion there will be a reduc
tiori Of approximately so percent Ia
the cotton acreaRe OF washington
County. This viii result from the
aband donment OF o considerable
amount OF land planted In cotton
last year owing TO the inability Of
the owners9to finance the planting
of 1t and In part TO an Increase In
corn acreage. Yours truly,
Leroy Percy.

Twenty-Three- Year Old
Hen Still on the Job.

Competing strongly with the coun-
tries which have produced youthful
chess players. Siamese twins and
prodigies, of various talents. Caple-
Vile. Tenn. has offered for considera-
tion q 23-year-old hen. which has
raised 45 families and has never mis-
sed a lay.
Twice year Mrs. Bette Bunting,
the name under which the Capleville
hen pursues her barnyard duties,
lays, sets upon and matches ont a
healthy brood of chickens. Rain or
shine, and regardless OF market con-
ditlons, Bette continues the busi-
ness OF laying. She faces her 24th
year undaunted by the fear OF old
age.
According to word from Capleville
this Tennessee addition to the world
Of curious things has lived a life Of
iserious-minded endeavor to increase
the tribe of fowls. She has argued
with each successive brood to follow
her example, and. whether at 10 cents
or 81 q dozen, she lays eggs.
Capleville folk are searching the
pension laws for q mention Of hens.

cIRCBITHcOURT OPENS J.
JUDGE la. ne otlu6In MAKES ELOQUENT
cElRsE 70 eRlhb JURY.

The February Term OF the Circuit
Court opened Monday morning with
q forcefui charge to the Grand Jury
by Judge McClanrin, appealing to
the jurymen to lay by every person
al interest and inquire into all viola
tions OF law, he especially charged
the Grand Jury to inquire into law
violations In gambling, carrying
concealed weapons, and the making
and selling Of Intoxicating liquors.
He called attention to the concomi-
tant evils that go hand in hand
with gambling among mipors, and
the danger to life when men carry
around concealed weapons. He de-
scribed graphically circumstances
that might arise when men who
have disagreements resort to wea-
pons simply because they have them
handy. He also showed how the H.
licit liquor traffic fosters perjury,
the crime that more than any other
handicaps Jurors In their effort to
get the truth. He also urged them
to inquire into the conduct OF the
County's officers, and examine their
books. Requesting them to dis
patch the business In a systematic
way they retired with their foreman
to make their findings.
Judge McClaurin also explaine dto
the Grand Jury why he refused to
pretermit this term OF court. In the
first place, he said that the law COM
mands him to hold circuit court here
twice In each year, and that the law
thus makes 1t compelling duty on
him to abide by 1t. Then, too, he
made 1t very clear that 1t was advis-
able to inquire into tho violation OF
law at least twice a year as one
prevention OF crime. And he said
that disregarding these considera-
tions there was enough on the dock
ct already TO keep court busy for q
great part Of the term. Judge Me-
Claurin made it clear to the jury
men and others who crowded the
court room that court should pro-
ceed.

Is Assured o5zs

Il A fairly we'll attended meeting OF
farmers was held here last Saturday
afternoon for the purpose, of consider
ing ways and means for starting the.
potato industry ON a commercial scale
in this vicinity. Mr.. Theodore Mellum.
Of Ulen. an experienced potato grower
as well as buyer, was present and gave
many valuable pointers in. his talk to
the farmers. He has 800 acres in pO-
tatoes this year and has just started
digging. Mr. Mellum urged the farm
ers to keep all the good seed potatoes
raised this year for planting in the
spring and not allow them to be shipped
away from here The variety recom-
mended for: planting is the Red River
Early Ohio, which is standard prod
uct of the valley, can be grown nowhere
else hence is well advertised and
known all over the country. The mat
ter of certified seed and the storing OF
seed potatoes were questions that were
discussed by those present. Many
farmers signed up for a certain number
of acres to be planted next year. Al
together some 700 acres have already
been pledged, the Sheaf is Informed.
Mr.. Mellum practically assured the
farmers that he would erect a suitable
potato warehouse here next year, II
there is7a sufficient acreage planted to
spuds to warrant it. .

Game w.

Saturday afternoon of this week the
Warren high school football team will
open it's 1921 gridiron season here when
it clashes with the Ada high school
team at the local ball park The Ada
coach is expected to bring up a strong
aggregation of huskies and it is assured
that the opening fray will be one well
worth witnessing as the local high
school athletes have been working hard
during the past two weeks under the
direction Of coach Emery Johnson and
A.. d. Collette, who has been rounding
the linemen into shape for the first con-
test. '0'
Somewhat handicapped by lack of ma
terial the high school coach has had to
build a team from what appears on the
field each evening rather than having
choice from a large squad of athletes
Whatever Ada brings to Warren for the
first contest of the year it will be met
by an equally heavy backfeld on the
part of Warren. With the exception

ter, the backline men Will weigh in the
