CROP PROSPECTS AND

backward. With Continuous and
Rapid Work and Hot Weather
Farmers Will Win.

WhlIe the crops are backward on
account of late Spring and a verv
great deal of rainy weather, yet thew
are growing nicely and with favor
able conditions from now on. it cam
not be told by the 10th of july that
they are late. Corn is more disap-
pointing In looks than cotton; this is
caused by the extreme wet weather
and the fact that much of it was
plowed when the ground was wet
and the further fact that water stood
IN the rows for weeks. The outlook
for corn would not be as promising
as the outlook for cotton but for the
boil weevih
The cotton plant is in a good state
Of growth. 1t is well plowed and is
free from grass. All the crops are in
good state of cultivation. But the
weevils are here by the hundreds.
They are in almost every field. One
gentleman, Mr.. r. w. Caffey, relates
that three small negro children caught
over five hundred weevils just the 9TH
er day on small tract of land. He
insists that by beginning now while
the cotton is small that the weevil
can be killed almost as fast as they
multiply. Mr.. Caffey's experience is
that of many others. But in passing
it might be well to again bring to
the farmers attention that swift and
continuous cultivation is almost a.
sure shot to prevent any great dam
age from the weevil. With hot wealth.
er and rapid cultivation, if the expert.
ence and the observation of the years
are worth anything, it is not too
much to believe that good crop of
cotton can be made. Further, the
government is sending out every
piece of information which it thinks
s worth anything, and there can be
no doubt that a powder has been
found which will kill the weevil if
placed on the cotton properly. The

THINKS CHEESE INDUSTRY
CAN BE MADE PROFITABLE

The following communication wa
sent to this Office by Mr.. w. G.. Nohl
the popular manager of the Phoeni,
Chair Co., plant at Grenada 1t will
be seen that Mr.. Nohl is concerned
about the advancement of this section
and that his keen perception has al
ready awakened him, notwithstand-
ing his short residence here, to the
resources of Mississippi and especial
Iy of this section.
The communication was written by
Mr.. B. E. Scott who is now at Miami,
Texas:
B. E. Scott went to Miami, Texas,
about the middle of March. Mr..
Scott, who is a cheese maker, went
to Texas to see if good cheese could
be made. 1t seemed that the alkali
in the water might affect the cheese.
Mr.. Scott had made two patches of
cheese, both of which were very good,
so that he expects to continue the
manufacture of the article there.
Mrs. Scott and two children will
leave ere long for Miami, Texas, ex-
pecting to make that place their fu-
ture home.-Sheboygan Herald and
Plyn 9th Review. DAIRY Paper).
Mr.. and Mrs. Scott are natives of
Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin, near
Plymoth, Wisconsin, where Mr.. w. G. |
Nohl was born.

point of American cheese in the world,

SENTINEL EDITOR INTERVIEWED

The following appeared in Clarion.
Ledger of June 18th:
| u. f. Lawrence, of Grenada. and
editor of The Grenada Sentinel, came

meeting today of the State Chamber
of Commerce.
He was seen by a Clarion-Ledper
reporter and on being asked about

rather jOcularly answered, eve are

Coldwater, Miss, June 18th, 1922.
Editor Grenada Sentinel:
AT the October term of the Circuit
Court of Tate County held at the
town of Senatobia. in 1915, one Gas
ton ii. Sanders entered plea of
guilty to an indictment charging him
with the crime of rape, the victim
beng his own daughter, girl of deli
cate pA"slque and tender years. This
plea of guilty was made to save his
neck for he would most certainly
have been hung if he had stood his
tflal The crime was most horrible
one and the mob spirit was rampant
for time until it was found the
| Sheriff had taken him to the Jail of
another county for safe keeping.
When the trial came on six months
later, his conviction being certain,
wiser counsels prevailed and the law
was allowed to take its course.
Since that time rumors have been
circulated that he had been pardoned,
but as no petition had been published
for his pardon it was believed that
he was still in prison. Now comes
the official information from Sccre-
tary Of the Prison Board that he was
pardoned on the 18th day of July |
1920 by his nastiness Lee NJ. Russell |
for some so-called meritorious ser
vice performed in the repair of the
old Capitol at Jackson. / saw
prisoner who was released from the
prison farm only last week who says
that he is driving convfcts at Camp
