HiackIeu KILLING state Stock.

The disease known as blackleg

Delta Experiment Station.

Several counties in the delta will
submit fiattering propositions to the
board of trustees of the Mississippi
Agricultural and Mechanical Coll
lege, when that body meets to select
site for the new branch agricul-
tural experiment station authorized
for that section of the State.
The board will probably convene
during the latter part of November,
at which time a committee will be
appointed to receive propositions,
visit the sites offered and make re-
port on same to another meeting of
the board, which is likely to be set
for some time in January.
It is learned that Yazoo, Sunf1ow-
er, Bolivar and Washington coun-
ties are very anxious to secure the
experiment station, realizing its i'm
rortance as factor in the develop
ment of an agricultural country,
and the value of experiments with
various soils, and the planters will
arrange some very flattering offers,
Notwithstanding the fact that delta
lands are now commanding fancy
prices.
The law providing for the estab-
lishment of the delta station requires
that the donation shall not be less
than 200 acres, and a tract of this
size in the delta is worth snug lit
tie sum when lands are selling at
500 per acre. The law contem-
plates the donation of wild lands,
however, which can be obtained for
a much smaller sum.
The legislature made an appro-
priation of only $4,000 for the sup
port of the delta station during the
year 1905, which is wholly made
quate in view of the large amount of
work necessary to get a new farm in
shape, but it is likely that the coun-
ties will also make liberal cash do
nations with their offers, which will
aid materially in getting the work
under way.
