Governor Nardaman made little
talk to the State officers, in which
he said that he hoped that they

at any time and discuss the needs of
their departments. lie said that he
wanted every State officer to feel
free to make any suggestions in the
meetings in regard TO the good of
the State and the best way TO run
things smoothly and without frie-
ton. The governor was of the opin-
ion that the meetings should be
held at least once a month and of
tener if necessary. At the meeting
last week the needs of the different
Offices as to furniture was discussed
and the probable amount that would
be asked of the legislature for fur
nishing the building as it should be
furnished. No definite conclusion
was reached in regard 10 the matter.
The State officers like the idea Of
holding these meetings and discuss

MISSISSIPPI LEGISLATURE

ls the legislature enters upon its
,onrth week, nothing much in the way
n legislation In which the people are
interested has been accomplished.
Some Of the most important bills that
arc vet to come before the legislature
have not been introduced as yet, but
,hev will be during the next ten days.
However, a great many measures have
beeu introduced, and some of them
dIsposed of. 1t Is probable that an eff.
fort will be made to pass the general
appropriation bill before the end of the
month so that the State officers,
mdges. chancellors and district attor-
news may be able to get their money.
The bill for the support of the COM
mon schools of the State, which pass
cd the house, will probably come up
in the senate some time soon, and will
be passed practically as it came from
the house, and will be sent to the gov.
ernor for his signature. The January
distribution of the school fund is due
10 be made now, and If there is any
delay on this score the school teach
ers Of the State will be kept out of
their money.

Railroad Legislation.
A number of prominent railroad of.
ficials were in Jackson for the pur.
pose of expressing opposition to the
bill introduced In the legislature, peo-
hibiting the running of "double-head-
er" engines.
The railroad men contend that this
matter should be left to the railroads
and their employees for settlement, as
1t Is not properly within the province
of legislation. The chief argument of.
fered in support of the measure is that
engineers and firemen on the second
locomotive of "double-headers" are un-
able to see the track ahead, and place
their lives in the keeping of the crew
of the forward engine, which a;gu.
ment is answered by the officials by
calling attention to the fact that ev.
erybody aboard the train place their
lives In the hands of the same men
and the contention of the trainmen is
purely selfish one; that, in all fair.
ness, they should take the same risk
as the people who travel on railroads
and trust to the skill and coolness OF
the men at the throtye for their safe
ty. 1t Is furthermore urged against
the bill that the accidents on double

when passenger trains are run in sec.

School Fund Distribution.

State Superintendent of Ednca-
ton Whitfield will not commence
the preparation of the pro rata dis
tribution Of the common school fund
among the counties and separate
school districts until some disposal
is made in the senate of the house
bill appropriating $l,25o,o0O per
annum for their support. The Jan
uary distribution will be two-thirds
of the total sum, or $833,333.33,
and this is almost sufficient to wipe
out the balance Of cash in the treas
ury. The funds will not commence
to go out, however, until the Janu-
airy tax collection reports are arriv-
ing at the treasury.

Fertilizer ssIes Incresse.

Fertilizer men announce a tre-
mendous increase in fertilizer sales
this season. The demand is so
heavy that plants are being taxed to
their very utmost and are not able
to keep up with orders. Two rea-
sons are assigned for this large in
crease in sales by the fertilizer men.
They say that the high price Of cot
ton and scarcity of the staple is
stimulating the cotton planters to
put every available piece Of
ground in cotton. They say also
that the farmers all have money and
recognize the great value Of fertil-
izing their lands. If there is any
virtue in fertilizer the hill counties
Of Mississippi viii almost rival the
delta next season.

Experiment. stations and Farmers.

The agricultural experiment sta
tions in this country were estab-
lshed TO help farmers by giving
them reliable information concern
ing agriculture. Every farmer must
operate his own farm and succeed
or fail according to his ability. The
only help you can give him is relia-
-ble information as to matters of fact
that his judgment may be good and
his practices correct. Though their
work has been retarded by many diff
fculties, which farmers and others
have failed TO appreciate or under
stand in the past, but who are now
beginning TO realize their great i'm
portance in working out the great
agricultural problems that confront
our people, still the stations have
been success from the very start,
and are fulfilling their mission in a
manner and to degree that, per-
haps, is greater than was expected.
Many States in the Union are show
ing their appreciation of the work Of
the different experiment stations by
supplementing the appropriation
made by the United States govern
ment each year for their support.
The per cent of our population en-
gagged in agriculture is larger than
that of any other State, and Missis-
sippi can afford to spend money lib
orally for the development of its ag-
ricultural interests. The following
shows the funds given by some of
the States as supplement to the
United States government appropri-
alton for station work:
