AGRICULTURAL NOTES

One of the best demonstrations
to be found in the county show
ing the value Of cultivating land
that will make a profit is to be
seen on the farm of Mr.. Wylie
Brown in the Fannin community.
Last winter Messrs. Brown and
Tinnin fed out a large bunch of
steers; shipping them out to the
ST. Louis market in the early spring
received top prices; they used as
their feed lot hill side field which
was planted in cotton in average
width rows and thick spaced in the
drill. This cotton is full of bOlls
and still blooming and is good for a
big yield. There is no doubt but
that cotton growing is becoming a
very hazardous undertaking unless
we use some system that will lessen
the risk from weather and insect
reverses. 1t is well worth the time
Of any good farmer to see this cot
ton field on the public road between
the residences of Mr.. Wylie Brown
and Mr.. /. o. Brown.
The Brandon news. (Brandon, Miss.) 1892-1961, 1923-08-16

Do you know that, according TO
Prof. r. B. Morrison, of Wisconsin,
who is a prominent authority on
feeds. a ton of cottOnseed meal cost
ing $40 a ton, when fed to dairy
cattle returns $23 worth of manure,
thus making the ton of feed cost
only $26?

living in the New Prospect COM

contest for the r. HI. Green project
work, he has five acres of corn
that is very promising and clear
demonstration that we are trying to
cultivate too much land to produce
the amount of corn, whereas we
could produce the same amount on
one fifth the acreage IT properly
handled. While the weather con-
ditions have not favored the culti-
vation of corn, Mr.. Williams is ad-
voeating more intensive farming

plenty of corn to run his farm
another year.

T. w. Moore, President of the
Rankin County Farm Bureau, re-
ports the presence of the army
worm in his cotton, the leaves are
already cleaned off in many places
of the fields. Mr.. Moore came to
Rankin County from Tennessee and
has made four crops in Rankin
County, he has demonstrated that
close attention to the farming game
is the only way to- make satisfactory
returns. Up to the time he came to
Rankin, Mr.. Moore had never grown
cotton. Last year his averages,
using ordinary ttnant labor, was
around one-half bale per acre and
his crop this time is the best he
has ever produced. His farm Is
one of the self sustaining kind; the
corn, hay, potatoes, peas, truck,
hogs. cattle and all lines of work
to be found on an all round southern
farm are given close attention. Mr.
Moore and his son, Richmond, also
ship large quantities of hay, cattle
and hogs throughout the year.

TWO PLAYS ON THIS
YEARS CHAUTAUQUA

Two plays will be featured on the
Redpath-Horner Pioneer Circuit this
year. This step is bound to meet
with approval of Chautauqua patrons.
"a Pair of Sixes," the New York
comedy success by Edward Peple is
one of two comedies presented by
Charles F. Horner this season. This
"laugh contest" as it has been aptly
termed, ran for twelve months at the
Longrace Theater in New York. 1t is
clean comedy throughous three whirl-
wind acts.
"The Bubble" Louis Mann's great
success is the second play selected by
Mr.. Horner. This has been called a
perfect play because it combines ev-
cry essential in its we'll balanced plot,
combining as it does tense dramatic
situations with great deal of excel
lent comedy.
In both of these dramatic produc-

ing the usual Redpath- -Horner has
become a standard for fine dramatic
productions throughout Chautauqua
territory Such success as "It Pays
To Advertise" "Nothing But the
Truth" and Friendly Enemies" have
made host of friends.
With two plays every town on the
circuit is assured of one play given
at night. In the past, with one play
only. this has been impossible owing
to Sunday and the necessity of Civ

is to keep mind that even with the rain

amount of water which quickly is diminished by natural
evaporation long the fields not shaded by the beet

And when the bees large enough cover the space
between the plants large quantities of water

We, therefore, warn not to overestimate the
effect OF the comparatively heavy precipitation last month";
but to rrgate usual in conformity with the needs of the
individual fields.
Examination of fields few days ago indicated that
the driving rains hardened and packed the soil until ditch

PAY RELEASING
FORD|STR|CT
STARTS
Donovan Heads Committee to
EquaIize Salaries on Fed
eraI Standards.

Discrepancies long existent be-
tween clerical and supervisory
salaries in the Federal and District
Governments, to the advantage OF
the former, will be ironed out in the
report which the special reclassifi-
cation committee headed by Major
D. J. Donovan, municipal auditor,
will submit to the Personnel Re-
classification Board by June /.
Thus, unless the next Congress
virtually reverses action Of the last
in approving the Sterling-Lehlbach
bill, under provisions of. which the
board is functioning, the underpaid
workers in the District force will
probably commence reaping the
benefit Of higher pay with the be-
ginning of the fiscal year 1926.
Will Equalize Standards.
The reclassification act wipes out
dual wage standards as regards the
national and local governments. 1t
incorporates the always uncertain
bonus into salary scales. Thus in
figuring increases necessary to
bring District scales to the level of
Federal, Major Donovan's commit
tee will take the base pay plus the
bonus as the primary factor, and to
this will add sufficient to place any
given salary on parity with the
salary paid for like work in the
departments.
AS the committee is without
authority to alter minimum or
maximum salaries for the eighteen
grades decreed by the Reclassifica-
ton Board, equalization in many
cases will be achieved by advancing
employees to higher grades.
To Seek Other Boosts.
With the revised schedules for
workers falling into the various
grades, there will go to Congress re-
quests for advances for many en-.
ployes excluded from consideration,
such as the police and fire depart.
ments and per diem employees
recommendations will also be made
that the Commissioners salaries be
raised from $1,000 year to $4,000
effective with appointment Of the
next board.
The complicated business of as
sembling data for submission to the
personnel Reconsideration board will
commence at 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning when heads Of departments
in the municipal government will
confer with the Commissioners and
the Donovan committee in the board
room Of the Municipal building.
