synopsis Of State Superintendent
Olsen's Annual Report.

State Superintendent OF
Schools J. wv. Olsen has completed
Ibis report for the year 1901, in
which is included some statistics
which will be interesting to our
Ireaders. From the statistics we
LEARN that the total receipts for
the year were 1925, 1928 and
1.-THE expenditures 81, 209, 562. 49,.
There are 4 ,565 school buildings
in the state and the otalvalue Of
all school property is SIS, 413,-
538.2s. OF the 11,129 teachers
employed, Ellis were males and.
9,031 females, the former receiv-
ing an average Of S436 go and the
latter $38. 80 per month. The to-
tai number Of pupils ID Mime
sofa high schools was 5,278.
The mostnoticeable thing about
these figures is the great jump
taken id teachers salaries In
1896 the average salary was 1872.
per month; in 1897 1T was a tribe
over S32; in 1893 it was $32. 20; il
1899 the average was S34. 81; and.
in 1901 was $35. The jump to
$43 is the greatest single year =
increase for many years. This
has been largely the result OF the
workings Of the new uniform
state certificate law which creat-1
ed a scarcity of first grade teach
ers and forced out Of the teach
ing profession many Of those I'M
fitted to teach. The result, has
been d steady demand for good
teaahers, and at the pre- sent time
there is a lack of first grade
teachers in almost every county
Of the state. The result Is that
good teachers have been able To-
say something themselves as to-
what wages they would receive.
These figures bear out all the
claims made by those who advo-
Gated the new examination law.
The total number of teachers
la the state is largely increased
also. In 1896 there were 7317
teachers in the state; In 1897,
1913; in1898, 9. 81 I'm 1899, 8, 139,s
in 1900, I, 87s; and ii 1921, a y
I29.
The high school enrolment
shows also the highest single
years increase for the past ten
years. In 1895 the total high
school enrolment Of the state
was 9,932; in 1897, 4 !, 93S;in 1898,
1903. iii 1899, 12,436; and In
1901, 15,278.
This synopsis, as compiled by
the city dailies, is very incorn-
.plete yet, but gives 8 goodidea OF
the prosperous condition Of edu-
.cational matters in the North
Star State.

The Less From Late SoWn Grain

The Less from Late OOWn urdlil.
Ii isgenerally known that wheat
does better If sown as early as the
ground can be made fit, in the.
spring, but the amount Of the loss
which is possible from late sowing
is not we'll understood. The in
huences which reduce the yield
are draught, rust and insects.
While we are more free from
these evils than other portions Of
The state, we must still guard
against them. The earlier wheat
is sown, the more vigorous is it's
growth and power of resistance,
and the less it will be hurt by
drought or rust. This increases
the yield. The experiment farm
has for several years past sown
wheat at different dates in the
spring. To compare the yields so
Iobtained. The first sowing was
made about April Goth, and the
last May 9th. The average yield
| for the first date was 22.7 bn. and
for the last II bu., a difference Of
81 bu. per acre due solely to lutte
seeding. The delay in seeding IS
often caused by the. necessity OF
Iplowing the ground in the sprlng.
| This has the additional drawback
of leaving the soil too loose and
dry for grain. The ground should
have been plowed in the fall--or,
i If cultivated the preceding year,
lit may be prepared altogether with
disc harrow if one is available,
| Grass seed will domuch better on
such seed bed than on too loose
| a soil.
/ Oats should not be sown quite
| so early as wheat, but viii stand
a great deal of frost. The main
crop on the experiment farm has

THE VOTE OF GREEM k.

Two years ago there were three can- didates for congress: Sloan, Taylor and McColloch and MT. Sloan only lacked 59 votes of receiving as many as both his opponents, the total vote of tho county standing: Sloan l252, Taylor 930 and McColloch 3s1. The vote this year will not be quite as heavy, perhaps, as 1t was then ,on account of the restricted primary, and we are of the opinion that Judge Taylor is not as strong in the county now as he was then At the election Saturday week we believe that Judge Taylor will receive less than 1000 votes and that Mir. Parrish will receive more than 1000, while Mr. Macon will not receive as many votes as did Mir. McColloch. Two years ago Judge Taylor's friends made a gallant fight, as they are making now, the differ ence being that there are not so many of them. At tho last selection the judge's friends were at every polling place, several going out from Paragould and some com iug from Clay aud Craighead. The people of Greene county, however, feel competent to run their own elections and the judge will gain nothing by having non-residents of the county to come into the county this year and pull for him.
 In Shady Grove last year the judge only received three out of 40 votes, in Breckenridge he only received 25 out of IF, in Spring Grove A out of 14O in Union 57 out of 213, in Friendship 16 out of "A, in Bryan out of 49, in Cache 73 out of PA, in Poland 50 out of POP, in Salem B out of IA, in Lake out of 60. The best vote Judge Taylor received two years ago was in Paragould and Clark township, but 60 per cent of the voters in Clark township Tor two years ago are for Parrish now, estimated upon investigation made by the Soliphone.
 The judge will lose out in Paragould this time unless we badly mistake the temper of the people. He may make gains at some of the precincts where he made poor showing two years ago but he is as sure to fall off in his votes at other precincts and Mr. Parrish will, in our judgement get the county by safe majority.

NATURAL LAW OF TRADE
TWILL REGULATE RAILROADS
This Is the Idea of T.. ID. Underwood
., Who Is Here for u
Brief Visit.

Frederick d. Underwood, president of
the Erie road, who arrived in the city
last evening from the east, says that the
railroads can be trusted to look after the
commercial welfare of the country, and
that supply and demand will regulate the
charges of the big industrial institutions.
Among other things he said yesterday:
1t does not matter where the ownership Of
the railroads rests. The policy of building
up communities will continue. 1t is destiny.
Why do the railroads bring people from,
Bremen and Antwerp for less money than
one can secure decent months board in
Minneapolis? II isn't for the privilege of car
rying them. We want them here, to build
up the country; and the Railroads.&c. for no
more than selfish nterests-can be looked
upon to see to it that the public is we'll sup
piled in the transportation line.
Mr. Underwood said he did not approve
the ship subsidy bill as a whole. The
country had not recovered from the ef-
fects Of the civil war when its commerce
was swept from the seas. AS soon as the
nation could guarantee protection to its
shipping it would have merchant fleet
He believed that the law OF supply and
demand would regulate the prices of trust
products. Regarding the Injunction pro-
ceedings recently instituted by the inter-
state commerce commission he said there
was much difference in violating the in
terstate commerce act ordinarily and VIC
lating the courts injunction. The pro-
ceedings ought to have salutary effect.
