State Shows Larger
Yields Some Crops

Mississippi's crop production is larger
than the average production this year.
according to the Agricultural Martat-
ing Service in a bulletin issued the past
week. A somewhat smaller volume or
cotton, corn, hay, peaches and pears
than last year is in prospect, while oats,
wild hay, sweet potatoes, peanuts, and
pecans is above that of last year.
Rainfall during August was consid-
erably below normal in all areas, es-
pecially the central, upper Delta, north
central and northeast districts. The
following brief summaries of products
were given:
Corn, indications point to crop some
what above average but much smaller
than last years large crop. Yield In
dicated l3 bushels per acre, which would
result in total crop of 37,869 900 bush
els.
Pecans, the prospective crop is above
that of last year with total production
foresast of 6,113,000 pounds, an in.
crease of around two million pounds
The crop is rather spotted, with heavy
shedding due to early rains and dry
weather later.
Pastures, condition is we'll above aver
age for September even though there
was a decline during August. Pastures
are rated at SO per cent of normal.
The Irish potato crop is equal to that
of last year, the report states.

The New Century Club Of West held
its first regular meeting Sept. 20, in the
home Of Mrs. II. A. Moore, with eight
members present. Through the club
year 1889 and 1910 we are to continue
the study Of Mississippi. We find
there is much to learn about our dear
old state.
At letter was read from Mrs. Graham,
explaining the Mortmain Law, and ask
ing that all club members get informed
in regard to this law, and vote to
amend and modify this law on Nov. q,
1899.
The subject for today's study was
"Citizenship." Roll call was answered
with a nationality, and strange to say,
only one named America. The foreign
and warning nations were named, even
Germany. The National Anthem was
sung by Club. Mrs. M. A. Campbell re-
freshed our minds on How We Got Our
Constitution. Mrs. T. G. Ellard gave a
splendid history of our Flag. Mrs. X.
M. Gordin gave good paper on The
Three RS of Home Making. And, as
you would guess, the first r stood for
Religion, as the foundation Of all build
ing. and without which no foundation
will last. The second X was for Rhyme,
and the third for Risibility. During the
social hour, a salad plate and drink was

Interesting Railroad
Film Shown ROtarians

The Lexington Rotary Club was shown
a railroad film, Lets Keep The Record
Straight" produced by the Association
Of American railroads, at its Friday
luncheon. Paul Lindholm, program
chairman presented T. ]. Trull, local
agent of the Y. e. NJ. v. Railroad, who
introduced Robert A. Taylor, special
representative of the Illinois Central
System, New Orleans, who showed the
picture.
The theme of the picture showed
transport system of separate carrying
units coupled together in trains pulled
by ono powerful machine and guided by
flanged wheels on steel rails over road
ways built and maintained without ex-
pense to the taxpayers.
Tho basis of the illustrations was on
the report recently made by special
committee appointed by President
Roosevelt "to submit recommendations
on the general transportation situation"
which first recommended "fair, impor-
tial regulation of all modes of transpor-
tation, so administered as to preserve
the inherent advantage of each"
Comparison was made of the taxes
paid by the railroads against that of its
competitor the motor transports. The
latter system was broken down into
units that involved the various trucking
divisions engaged in moving goods in
competition to the railroads. 1t was shown
by figures that the railroads contribut-
ed 321s cents of every income dollar for
keeping up roadways, paying interest on
<lo, tn cfx fax
lectors. The truck dollar was given
at 7k cents An opinion of an Illinois
Federal Judge of the District Court of
Southern Illinois was quoted who ruled:
"The motor vehicle fees and taxes
collected from motor vehicle owners are
insufficient to compensate the state and
its subdivisions for that cost of pro-
viding highway facilities which is prop
! erly chargeable to motor vehicles"
The Highway Department of the State
of Missouri was quoted as reporting,
that after thorough investigation found
that the annual subsidy to common car
rier motor trucks ranged as high as
| $4,000 for a five ton truck and $680.00
for nine-ton truck. Illinois reported
that all revenues received from 1896
registration and other fees and motor
fuel taxes amounted to less than one
half of that part Of highway costs
properly assigned to motor vehicles.
Other figures were given showing that
the owner of for-hire trucker, operat-
ing a five-ton truck on the highways,
has failed to meet his annual share of
highway costs by more than $1,665.00
per truck.
The railroads paying real taxes Of
$325,665, ,165.00 dollars and employing
2 million workers asks that fair dis
tribution of operating costs be made be-
tween the railroad and the motor trans
port.
Figures for Holmes county were given
as to major expenditures and these were
as follows:
Employees 1876; payroll $276,9630o;
purchases $5,462.00; Public utility sup
plies; Water, $14400; Power, $3,01400;
Telephone, $4,000.
Taxes paid in county, $92,316.00; Total
expenditures in county, 1878 10000.

coupled with good management.
"The foundation for a permanent in
dustry in Mississippi is being we'll laid.
1t is no small undertaking and it is
worthy of the best thought of our most
serious and highly specialized educators
and practical livestock men who ad-
IDENTIFY hope for this country to become a
great livestock center.
"There are areas of cheap grazing
lands and water supply, which are no
longer available in the far western Sec
| tions of the United States. The length
lof the grazing season and the usually
moderate winters make expensive hous-
ing facilities unnecessary. The capacity
of the southern soils to respond to i'm
proved pasure methods and the ability
to grow cheap hays and supplementary
grain and grazing crops such as soy
beans, winter oats, rye, and vetch, as
well as Italian grass are most advantag-
eous to livestock production.
Permanent turf pastures should be
established and then supplemented with
an abundance of leguminous forage crops
which can be successfully and prolifical-
| ly grown in the South, and when we con-
slider the relative cheapness of cotton
seed meal as a protein supplement for
/ feeding livestock our reasons are still
further fortified as to why livestock
should be more generally found on
Southern farms, and especially Missis.

Cover Crops Aid In
Fertilizing Orchards

A winter cover crop for the peach
orchard checks loss of soil fertility, es-
pecially Of the easy-leaching nitrate
nitrogen, decreases loss or organic mat
ter, and protects the soil from erosion,
says County Agent T. NJ. Williams. Late
September to October Is is the best
time to plant the cover crop, depending
on latitude.
In some orchards, especially the old
er ones where trees are close together,
it may be necessary to use fertilizer to
get good stand, says Mr.. Williams.
Orchards of this type need a winter
cover crop most because the trees shade
the space between the rows, thereby
allowing the development of but little
natural vegetation during the growing
season to serve as cover.
The use of $50 to 300 pounds of a
complete fertilizer such as 1876 will
do much to stimulate growth of the
cover crop and then can be used by the
trees after the cover crop is plowed
under next spring.
In addition, nitrogen In some readily
available form may be applied under
the spread Of the branches and several
feet beyond about week before the
trees bloom in the spring.
Where there is a heavy growth OF
volunteer vegetation following the last
cultivation, there may be enough cover
without planting winter crop. Growers
who are fortunate enough to have straw
may supplement the cover crop with 8
| mulch underneath the trees. Such 8
mulch particularly helps those orchards
where erosion is severe, says Mr.. Will
lliams

Proper Harvesting
Sweet Potato Crop

Proper harvesting and careful hand
ling Of Mississippi's 1889 sweet potato
crop which is estimated at 100000 BUSH
els, one of the largest of record, is be-
ing urged by the Mississippi Extension
Service.
Pointing out that many producers an
nually suffer heavy losses from delayed
or improper harvesting, R. c. Monosmith,
extension horticulturist, offers timely
suggestions on harvesting, handling, and
storing this valuable food and feed
crop, which assumes even greater i'm
portance in the face of mounting prices
for many food products.
Sweet potatoes should be mature when
harvested, says Monosmith. Immature
potatoes are of poorer quality and are
harder to keep in storage than potatoes
that have fully matured." The special
ist, however, warns that "sweet potatoes
should always be harvested before the
first killing frost. If digging is delayed
and killing frost occurs before the po-
tatoes are harvested, the vines should
be removed as soon as possible to pre-
vent injury to the the potatoes"
Maturity in sweet potatoes, says Mon
osmith, may be determined by cutting
crosswise or breaking few potatoes. If
mature, the cut surface will dry and
turn white in a short time; if immature,
the surface will remain moist and turn
a darker color. The natural yellowing
of the foliage is frequently good in
| dication that potatoes are ready to be
harvested.
Monosmith then emphasizes care in
handling the potatoes to prevent bruis-
ing. Every wounded or bruised place
is possible entrance for storage rots
Sweet potatoes should be handled about
as carefully as peaches.
"They should never be thrown in piles
placed in sacks, or hauled loose in a
wagon. Growers should not dump pota-
toes on the floor or bins of storage
houses. Handling should be reduced to
minimum by gathering the potatoes
directly from the rows into baskets OF
crates and carrying them to the storage
house in the containers. Severely bruis.
ed potatoes, if stored, should be placed
in separate bins and used for immediate
consumption"
| Monosmith asks producers to "remem
Der that severely bruised potato rots

to rot in storage, and brings a pool
price on the market. Potatoes that ar,
carefully handled can easily be kept il
