The people of this state are watch
ing Jackson with considerable inter-
est. That city which claims that il
is no worse morally than other cities,
issued an order some time ago
through it's board of aldermen for the
police to break up the blind tiger
joints and if they failed to do so it
was understood that their offices
were to be vacated at once. Since
then the police has been pretty active
and are diving down into the dives
and bringing out the hives in a
manner that seems to be entirely sat-
isfactory to all except the blind
tigers. They are raiding the social
clubs, feature of the blind tiger
raids that has not heretofore been
considered justifiable or at least

police of Jackson in the face of the
fact that they will lose their jobs if
they do not break up the blind tiger
joints succeed in their undertaking it
may be that other dry towns in the
state will follow suit. But he is GER
tainly sorry policeman who VIII not
do his sworn duty except in fear of
losing his job, and in such case he is
not fit for a public officer. But there
are hundreds of them and they are
not confined entirely to the police
force. OF course it is all moonshine
to argue that these blind tigers can
not be broken up, but to do so the
first thing to be done is to break up
the blinking and winking of the pub
lie at the law. This will never be
done and the blind tigers fireman
blind with'ons eye open to catch all
the trade they can get.

The Commercial further says that
some families who have been living
in Columbus for only few years are
arranging to sell their property and
leave. Let them come to Hattiesburg
if they are good citizens. The Pro-
gress will assure them that they will
never be bothered here by the pistol
toting kid. We have some mean
ones, but their meanness do not seem
to run in that line.

The Nashville American sees the
advantage of two strong political
parties among the whites OF the
southern states. with the negro
practically eliminated as political
factor says our contemporary, 1.-TWO
white parties in the south are possi-
bile and desirable. With the white
parties SO nearly equal IN numbers
and respectability that one would
serve as a restraint and msderating
influence on the other there would
be less danger Of party misdeeds,
party extravaganza, political inconl-

The Columbus Commercial is up
in arms against the kids of that city,
1t says several of them are in the
habit of carrying pistols with them
wherever they go, whether it is TO a
social gathering or to church, and
they do not mind exhibiting them
whenever an occasion presents itself.
One went to social gathering given
by highly respected family and on
arrival removed his pistol from his
hip pocket and laid 1t on the dresser.
On another occasion a widow womaA
while repremandingone of these kids
for using profane language he
whipped out his pistol and holding 1t
in his hand cursed the woman until
she turned blue. We have some bad
kids in Hattiesbnrg, but nothing Of
this kind has ever been reported and
it Is not believed that the kids Of this
city carry pistols. But should they
commence it the police would arrest
them at once and they would be fined
twenty-seven dollars and the beer
money before they could say Jack
Robinson with their mouths open.

ed at the conference referred to is as
follows: 1t was first discovered by a
German monk, named Mendall, in. 1865
He expounded his theory in what is
now said to be one of the finest scien-
tifc theses in existence, and printed it
in an obscure publication in a little
German village, where it attracted
practically no attention, and was sub
sequently lost to the world. Within
the last two years the principle was re-
discovered, practically simultaneously,
by four biological investigators-Hug
de Vries, of Holland Prof. Correns, of
Germany; w. Bateson, of st. Andrews
University, of Scotland, and w. j.
Spillman, of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
"The first announcement in this
country was made in Washington,
where Prof. Spillman expounded the
then but partially proved theory before
the Association of American Agricul-
tural colleges last November. At that
time the theory was received with linn
tied credence, but it's confirmation in
New York by three foreign investiga-
tors, together with the statement sthat
Prof. Correns' discovery had served to
bring to light Mendalls long-forgotten
thesis, leaves no room for further
doubt"

TREATING WHEAT FOR SMUT.

R. Kent Beattie, of the agricultural
college, takes issue with Lillis Smith
on the smut question, Mr. Beattie. CIV
ing his views in the following article
in the Pullman Herald:
81 can not agree in full with Mr..
Smiths method of treating the wheat.
1t is, however, a step in the right di-
rection. 1t is much more effective to
treat the wheat loose in trough than
to dip it in the sack. I believe, how
ever, that the trough should be more
than IL inches wide, IL inches deep
and IL feet long. Such narrow
trough, it is true, was described in the
press bulletin issued by the expert
ment station this spring, but further
experience has shown that a larger
one is preferable. One at least IL feet
long, 2 feet wide and foot 8 inches
deep, holding at least 20 bushels at
one filling, is much more convenient.
1t can then be used as watering
trough when not in use for treating of
grain.
Vtriol Solutions Too Strong.
"Mr. Smith suggests the use of 10 to
25 pounds of vitriol to the 80 gallons
of water which his trough contains.
This is from two to four times as
strong as is ordinarily employed by
the farmer. With these strong solu-
lions it is not possible to soak the
wheat for a very long time or it will
be injured. Now, every wheat grain
has on one side a groove. If you cut
across kernel you will find that this
groove is T-shaped and that it runs
into the wheat kernel. 1t is here that
many smut grains lie hidden. 1t is
not possible by soaking one minute
or five minutes or even for 20 minutes,
to drive the air out of this groove and
to wet the smut that is hidden there
in. The use of strong vitriol for a
short time simply covers the grain
with chrystals of vitriol and these
tend to retard the growth of the smut
plant for a time.
"If the weather is favorable when
the wheat is planted it soon germi-
mates and the wheat growth gets the
start of the retarded smut. Thus it
escapes being smutty. If, however, the
weather at the planting season is I'M
favorable and the wheat lies in the
ground long time, the vitriol is all
dissolved away by the soil and the

smut is again active. Such was the
case last fall. Our cold, dry autumn
caused the wheat to terminate very
slowly and much smut this year is the
consequence. With such short soak
ing as is usually given it is not posi-
BILE to penetrate the smut balls and, as
Mr.. Smith says, they are broken in
the seeder or in handling and resmut
the wheat that has been treated
"That the ordinary method of vitriol-
ing is not effective as a treatment is
shown by the accumulated experience
of eastern Washington farmers. In
spite of the hundreds of pounds of Wit
riOl that were used this year by the
wheat farmers, Whitman county lost
more than half a million dollars from
smut, and the state of Washington
lost not less than two and a half mil
lion dollars.
Mr.. kittzmilIer's Experience.
ED. Kittzmiller's experience this
year is instructive. Mr.. Kittzmiller
has large farm three miles north of
farmers in Whitman county. Last fall
he treated his seed wheat very care
fully with vitriol. He used one pound
Of vitriol for every five bushels of
wheat.
"He times every sack for a full five
minutes. In spite of all this, over 1000
bushels of his wheat were so smutty
that the wheat was locked two cents
per bushel. Probably Is to 20 per
cent of it stayed in the field as smut.
'The great lack of uniformity of re-
suits which the farmers get with Wit
riol is not well understood as yet. 1t
is probably due to the fact that the
seed which is treated is in many cases
clean and free from smut. When a
farmer once gets good clean crop
and plants seed from it he will likely

AN ADVANCE IN THE SCIENCE OF
BIOLOGY.


the United States Agricultural De-
partment at Washington City, has
been making some extensive expert
ments in cross-breeding. The Wash
ington City Times of October IL has
the following article relative to his
Investigations, which will prove of in
terest to his many friends of the North
western states:
Government scientists who have
lust returned from the international
conference on plant breeding and n.y.
bridization in New York, are unquall-
fiedly enthusiastic over the exploita'
ton of a new principle in biology,
which they describe as discovery as
important as that of the atomic theo-
nv of matter, or Darwin's enumeration
of the origin of species:
"This principle, known as Mendalps
law, will, it is maintained, enable the
breeder of plants, and to somewhat
less degree of animals, to hybrldlze
and cross varieties with the same GER
tainty with which the chemist COM
pounds materials or the mathematl-
clan works out an equation. Men
dalps law, briefly stated, is that first
cross will result in offspring resem-
bling one or the other parent, but
possessiag in an undeveloped form,
termed by German scientists "reces-
sive," the attributes of the other. me
second cross will result in five types,
possessing. respectively, the character
istics of one parent, of both parents,
and of both parents in varying de-
grees. An example furnished is as
follows:
Experiment With Mice.
"a cross between Japanese (colored)
dancing mice and nOn-danclng alDlno
(white) mice will inevitably produce In
the second generation prototypes OF
each of the original progenitors, and
also dancing albinos and non-danclng
Japanese mice, each in the approxlm-
ate proportion of one-fourth
"a botanical experiment conducted
by Spillman consisted of the crossing
of a bearded wheat, having hairy or
"velvet" chaff, with beardless wheat,
having smooth or "glabrous" chaff. The
second generation consisted OF four
varieties, two resembling the originals,
one bearded with glabrous chaff, the
other beardless, with velvet chaff, and
each variety was produced in the pro-
portion of one-fourth. Further expert
ments demonstrated that each variety
''bred true" in subsequent generations.
May Perpetuate Production.
"a further demonstration OF this
principle is found in the fact that
where two self-sterile varieties are
crossed all subsequent generations are
prototypes of the first cross. In the
case of the apples of commerce it has
heretofore been impossible to foretell
what the seed from any variety would
produce, but by the hybridization OF
two self-sterile varieties the variety
produced may be perpetuated continu-
ously by the seed produced.
"The rediscovery of Mendalps law
promises to revolutionize the hybr1d1-
cation of plants and the breeding OF
animals. It has obliterated the now OBJ
solete theories of atavism and trans
