based upon those provided for and
establish two years ago, five hundred
of each being allowed. There are
now $50 libraries which the State has
aided and 10 supplementary ones,
the latter being based upon the acts
of 1901. Over 100 libraries were pri-
vately established so that the number
is over LOCO in all.
In 1908 $14O,4 1851, and in 1904
$179.0S1.39 were spent for building
and repairing schOol-houses, making
a total of ,$319. .576.S6 for the two
years for these purposes. The total
spent for these purposes during the
preceding two years was $145,751.S3.
showing an increase of 1868, ,S25.O3.
In other words. the expenditures for
new school-houses and for improving
and charging old ones during the
past two years are more than double
those for the same purposes during
the preceding two years.

The sales of commercial fertilizers
continues to fall off as compared
with last season at this time. showing
the very sharp reduction in the pro-
posed acreage of cotton, though it
must be taken into account that the
weather, up to within a very few
days. has been so bad that farmers
could handle very little fertilizers.
The farmers are almost unanimous
in declaring that they will reduce
acreage. Those of them who are sell
ing cotton now are not the ones who
have signed the agreement or pledge
to hold. Both the cotton dealers and
the farmers say these pledges are be-
in very well kept indeed.
