For the farmer to produce a profitable crop there must
be a large yield per acre. A great countryman once said
that it takes good land to grow good crops. Durant is situated
In the central portion of a Brown Loan and Loess Forma-
ton. In the U. S. there are only a few Of these formations,
and the area OF each is small. The general lay Of our land
is rolling and the natural drainage is good.
On the east is Big Black River. This is a wonderful
natural drainage system and within this basin are thousands
of alluvial acres. This land, too is valuable. The United
States Government, having realized this fact, made a survey
through which could be brought into cultivation thousands
of acres of land equally as good in yield to that of the best
lands in the Mississippi Delta. The following are lucrative
crops grown in this section: Cotton, Corn, Sorghum, Lespe.
desa, Burmuda, Pea Vine, Soy-Beans. Truck Crops: Straw.
berries, Beans, and Cantaloupes.

Mrs. Josephine Tomlinson.
Testifying yesterday, Mrs. Tom

colored, who pleaded guilty to the
same charge in which Tomlinson
and Pratt are involved.
Pratt testified briefly and was
on the witness stand when court

placed on the witness stand
Dorsey K. Offutt, who had been
attorney for Bass up to the time
the latter changed his plea.
Offutt testified that Bass mad

Bass told him early in october,

evening party Of Mr.. and Mrs.

most delightful outdoor entertain
ments of the busy Washington
spring. The guests sat in groups
and at tables on the garden ter
races of lovely Merrywood, listened
to music, gossiped, danced, ate
delicious food and went reluctantly
home as the milkmen's horses
were clop-clopping through city
streets.
It was pleasant to see Col.
Harry Cootes, who has been i'll
this winter, out viewing the ten
mis- triumphs of his daughter,
Mary, when she won the Tuesday
match from Ann Ellis at the Rock
Creek Park nets. Mrs, Cootes,
who has gone columniSt most sue
cessfully, was also at the game.
Whenever Miss Cootes passed her
family as she changed courts she
borrowed her fathers big hand
kerchief to mop her forehead and
got fresh piece of chewing gum
from her mother. Tennis cham
pions demand chewing gum. The
nervous excitement of the game
parches their mouths.
