in encouraging development along
these lines. Messrs. Crosby and
Rowland, Of Picayune, having re-
ceived vision OF a greater Pearl
River County have taken the lead
in loste iEg the nome demonstration
work among the farmer. 1t is
through their generosity that the
work is stimulated TO the highest
degree. Each year these public
spirited gentlemen furnish special
Pullman car and pay all the ex-
pcrses at the Mississippi State Fair
+ at Ja.i.53., fo.' .:f-y members of the
F. home demonstration club.
This free try to the State Fair is
awarded on general all around
work and is co te an incentive for
The Elti Jess to bring heir work up
TO the higl1cs, standard.
Tho work of ..Hr. Tate. and home
dcmeAstrator, IN This county, is the
N the success Of our
county. But the general interest
that the Pearl River County people
are taking in this work is most
worthy of mentioning. The young
boys and girls are all putting
forth then best efforts in
bringing our agricultural
life up TO the highest standard which
in itself spell greater grander
and more prosperous county.
We feel that the prizes won at
the Mississippi and Alabama Fairs
are wori.iy tributes to the work of
our people. 1t will encourage them
to make gerater strides the next
year, and those that win the trips
to Jackson will surely be forced to
make very high mark.

A Letter of Interest
Nov /, 1922,
Mr.. L. E. Tyner.
Poplarville, Miss.
Dear Mr.. Tyner:
Nov /, 1922.

Poplarville, Miss.
Dear Mr.. Tyner:
] understand from Mr.. r. c. Price
that you wish to know the best
variety of corn of this section. In
tests made here this year with
standing ones were Mosbv Prolific
and Cookies Prolific each of which
made 6S.5 bushels per acre; Hastings
Prolific gave 67.5 bushels; Whatley
$50 bushels; Biggs 7-Ear, 65.e
bushels; Vardaman, 63.2 bushels;
with other varieties closely following.
The bulk OF our corn was grown from
.Johnsons Prolific seed which we did
not Use in the regular tests but
wi4lts be.ieee would have yielded
up with the best of the above varie-
ties. We are recommending this
Johnsons Prolific corn as among
the best for this section as it has
ptCi llDpiONtG III ,optilfi 4hiSSlSSlJp'
and is admirably suited to conoi-
tons here For one thing it is
a weevil resistant variety and this
means much in its favor for great
deal of corn is destroyed here every
wear by the corn wsevil both before
ana after it is harvested .lohnsons
Prolific has been bred pp 70 Tie
point Where the husK Of shack grows
well over the end OF TIE ear. thus
protecting it in field and crib against
the entrance of tke weey.. and this,
in our opinion. is worth much more
in giving it resistance against the
weevil than any othel' ore feature,
altho it is rather d hard corn and
this is in its favor
We have no seed corn for sale,
but usually buy our supply of john
sons Prolific from J. Nj johnson.
Quitman. Miss. the man who has
developed it. Always call on US
when you are in need of inforna~
tion of this kind II affords rs
much pleasure to serve you.
Yours truly,
The free press. (Poplarville, Miss.) 1890-19??, 1923-11-01

more interference than they do 10
another should be stopped, as the
Aggies are sportsmen above reproach
and playing the game for the love
and honor that there is in it, SO
there could not exist such a thing
AS showing partiality to any ear-
tain party. Going back to- ma;
final quarter of play, the Agg'a-i
mixed straight and scientific foot
! ball crowded in so fast that it made
the fifteen minutes of play seem like
ten minutes. but for the time taken
out numerous times during tl>
quarter. it seemed like it had taken
thirty mnut.,, to complete the las.
few minutes of play. In plhng up
thirteen points in the third quarteH
and adding forty points IN the last
the Aggies rolled the nunlbe-
of points to Sc for the game.
Forbes and Breland scored the
two touchdowns made IN tHe
period. while Johnson, White and
A. 7. Rouse scored two each in the
last period. The sensational playing
of Dish" Clark has been nat!ee
and the youngster has been getting
in his strive fast and should become
as famous as his older brother.
"Bill' who showed his wares here
wears ago. Forbes. too. has beer
adding & little vigor to his work
and with his tiouhleing knee. has
gore into the lineup and put IN his
best which has been the real sort of
foo2bail and his value in the lineup
has been felt when his absence T.
noticed when q pass or kick rs nee
essarv Breland at full played hi
usual bang up game and to Wateh
him plow the line with telling efte~t
is one Of the pleasing things to SEQ
in the Aggie offense II. L. Rouse
made his debut as a quarterbaek IN
The last Quarter and handled his
eleven in good fashion and showed ms
wares bv plungeing the line &ns!
making runs in time OF need ant
helped the cause by contribatin&
two touchdowns and in all the entire
backfield played a jammed up game,
and with the line alert as it was, 1t
was hard TO down the Aggies back
field men without d gain. In the llae
we must not overlook Haywood
Rouse. the Aggie LEFT tackle, vito :
was noticed played a iammed up
game and with Lamplin q, .
right tackle this combination Is hage
to get by and with. the fightiaE
spirit that these two tacklefs eH
hibi.ed. it's going TO be hard ~
opposition TO make any gains i.
their territory.
At guard, Thomas and Stewart
are the necessary plugs. whlch tnE
.Aggies need to. plug up the lme thas
makes it the stone wall that II 50
