Holmes Again Ranks
in First Ten Cotton
Counties in the State

Considerably more than one-third of
Mississippi's 1896, ,974-bale cotton crop
for the past year, was grown in ten Of
the leading cotton-producing counties of
the state, and this despite teh fact that
the high waters of last spring took ter
rible toll in q number of the great cot
ton empires. According to figures just
made public by the Department of Com
merce, Washington, cotton ginned to
January 16 in the ten leading counties
is as follows:
Sunflower 95,89s, Bolivar 95,8O1; Lee
flore 64,422, Quitman 37,760, Tallahatchie
3'.613, Holmes 34,1s2, Madison 1886,
Kinds 30,195, Tunica 29,434. Total cot
ton ginned in these ten counties is $780,
757 bales, which is very comfortable
portion of the total state crop of L.
326,974 bales.
The havoc of the flood is fully, real
lied when comparative figures are
studied. Bolivar, proud these many
years of the title as the greatest cot
ton country in the world, dropped from
136.e01 bales in 1926 to 95,8O1 bales in
1927, and by a narrow margin, takes
second place to Sunflower. Washing
ton county, which bore the full brunt
Of the flood tragedy, dropped from 72,-
BOT bales in 1927 to 14,025 bales in
1927. Humphreys was reduced from
37,049 to 1920; Yaxoo from 44,357 to
27,205; Sunflower from 132,093 to 95,-
S97; lssaquena loses her identity in the
government report, being listed as among
the "all other" counties, which group
dropped from 9,817 to 1,244. Many other
delta and border counties suffered to an
extent not now known from the indi-
rect effect Of the flood--backwater that
inundated and made useless for a year
some of their most valuable lands.
The fact that Holmes county is again
included in the magic circle of the ten
best counties, is an honor that is ap-
preciated locally. Holmes, too, suffered
from the flood, and her position is in
no means due to the misfortune of her
neighbors, for her own yield was re-
duced from 45,810 bales in 1926 to 34.-
1S2 bales in 1927. Not in many years
has her total production of cotton fallen
SO low.
The inanimate but authentic govern
ment figures on the production in the
various counties, presents an interesting
study to those who take pleasures in
delving in comparative figures Every
county, in the words of the local boos-
ters, has land as fertile as the valley of
the Nile, just as every county is Goods
Country" in the home estimates at least.
Here is proof to degree at least, for
despite intermingling, interlapping, and
minor types, agricultural Mississippi
may be divided into four major soil

Election February 7th
Levee Commissioner
in the Delta Precincts

The approaching election Of a Levee
Commissioner from the delta district Of
Holmes county, which will be held on
Tuesday, February 7th, is arousing quite
q bit of interest in this section. The
office is one of the most important in
the hands of delta people, affecting as
it does, in vital way the all-important
levee system.
Lewis Parker, present Levee Commits
sioner, who has served in this position
for two and a half years, is seeking
election to the full term. He is op-
posed by his friend and neighbor, A. B.
Archer, both living near Cruger. Both
are splendid men, successful planters
of the highest delta type, and both are
being earnestly supported by their
friends.
The election will be held on Tuesday,
February 7th, 1923, and the territory in
volved. embraces the voting precincts Of
Cruger, Tehula and Thornton.

types: the Mississipip delta; the brown
loan, the prairie, and the coastal re-
gions of South Mississippi.
The delta is generally acknowledged
as the premier cotton country, and the
figures support that viewpoint. No hill
county even approaches production nor
mally in the five great delta counties
Of Sunflower, Bolivar, Coahoma, Le-
flore, and Washington, although num-
ber Of hill counties follow closely there
after, taking precedence year after year
over all-delta counties.
The counties in this group are invar-
iably in the brown loan belt, and again
the government figures support the po-
tion and tend to show the reason
why these counties are prosperous
and progressive. Taking the, six coun-
ties wholly or almost wholly within the
brown loan belt, and ignoring the coun-
ties where the soil blends into other
soil types, the following production for
the past year is of record: Tallahatchie
1858, Holmes 34,1s2, Madison 1886,
Kinds 30,193, Yazoo 27,205, Pamela, 49,
1876. Average production, 30,930.
The next productive soil type is found
in the prairie section of Northeast Mis-
sissippi, where production for the past
year was as follows: Lee 25,996, Mon
roe 23,271, Noxubee 21,105, Chickasaw
1880, Clay 1882, Oktibbeha 6,527. Av-
erage production, 17,717.
An average production surprisingly
high and uniform is found in no less
than ten of the leading counties of South
Mississippi. In 1927 Jones county led
this section with a production of 1870
bales; then in order come Pike 1850,
Jeff Davis 1878, Simpson 1929, Law

Hunting Season Now
Closed; Seed Crop Left

Today, Tuesday, January 31st, brings
to a close the hunting season. 1t is no
longer permissible to shoot wild water
fowl. snipe or other of the migratory
birds. The quail season closed on the
18th and that for doves on Dec. 31st,
while the squirrel season closed Dec.
18th. In this county turkey may not be
hunted.
OF course there has been some unlaw-
full hunting. There are always few
hogs in any community and they will
show their hoggish ways but in the main
the laws have been fairly observed and
the real sportsmen are aware that the
intent OF all of the laws is to provide
supply of game for open hunting in
a fair open season. More people are
hunting, the covers are restricted, the
automatics are more deadly, SO it fol-
lows that the seasons must be shortened
and market hunting must be stopped or
all wild game will be exterminated. We
are trying our best to see that each
season leaves better supply Of seed
game than the season before 1t. We
have an excellent supply of seed except
Of deer and turkey. Most unfortunately
we sacrificed considerable part OF our
deer supply but there is still a fair
sprinkling and with the season remain
ing closed for three years more we will
have fair supply. Three were killed
by hogs in December, one Of them fine
buck. Turkey in the fall season when
young are such fools" and so easy to
kill that they have been very hard to
care for and protect and l fear most
of them have "migrated"-to those happy
forests where the souls of men are not
provided with firearms. Still there are
9 few remaining in the county and IT
it shall be practicable to secure protec-
tion l shall bring in more seed.
When you sportsmen see game hog
tell me.
