Although much work has been DONE

sufficient direction. It's destinies in the
past, been presided over by the resi-
dent of the Agricultural College or
University. Few college presidents
would claim capacity for such a dual
position. Efforts in the past to create
the position of director of the expert
mental Station have been futile up to
within the past few months.
With the competent direction now
promised, the station should forge a.
head. and become more of helper to
the farmer, the stOckman and the hOr-
ticulturist. However the work of an
experiment station is largely co-Opera-
tive. We should take a more lively in
tercst in its affairs. We should encour-
age those at work there, as apathy is
likely to get control of public insti-
tuition in which the public takes no
interest We should not only aid the
station with our moral but also with
our financial support Men have to
the station, and owing to the richness
of the field of investigation, have made
a national reputation in a few years
They have been allowed to accept more
lucrative positions, because the sta

to the limit. Think that this means

such mans services become valuable,

loses his services. OWuld any mercan-

d agement
In as much as the Federal Govern
inent mas, In the past, and is at pres
ent supporting the station, and that
Florida has done very little in the way
of financial support, it would seem the
proper thing for the state to apprO-
pirate at least $4,000 a year for the
purpose of increasing the efficiency of
the station 1t can hardly be supposed
that the Federal Government did not
expect that the $4,000 given annually
would be supplemented, in time, by
state appropriations. At least this is
what has taken place. Other states are
making large appropriations for their
Experiment Stations, and it is high
time that Florida fell in line. With
an increased income, the influence of
the station would be corespondingIy
and would be felt in many
ways.

situated in the citrus belt In either
ease, sub-statiops, although for some
reasons are Undesirable, seen almost
necessary in Florida, owing to the di-
versity of our crops. The hOrticultu-
raj industry has been, and is yet, the
branch of agriculture which engages
the attention of our most intelligent
citizens, and naturally this department
is the most important one at the F'lOri-
da Experiment Station. Since it's es-
tablishment IS years ago, the station
had published up to March 1905, 7S
special bulletins of from to 125 pag-
es, and it had also issued 80 sO-called
''preSs bulletins Most of these are
still available for distribution, and
can have for the asking. Analysis
shows that IA of the general bullet
ins dealt with subjects of direct in
terest to the stock grower. Of the 80
press bulletins, 20 were written for
the stock grower. These which are of
great Importance to him are, ''leeches
and leeching in horses" ''cassava as
a money CROP feeding with Florida
feed stuffs,'' ''Velvet BEANS" ''Texas
fever ''Feeding horses and mules on
home grown feed stuffs.'' "Glanders
and it's eradication ''Beef from vel
vet beans and cassava," ''Hog cholera"
Lump jaw in CATTLE 'SParturient ap-
OpleXy i'm cows Hook worms in cat
tle," Lung warns in swine,'' ''How to
Stock Forage crops ''The silo," and
Farmers Institute Bullentins," No.
1 and 2.
Along practical lines the station has
demonstrated and brought to the pub
lie attention many facts that would
have required generation to have be-
come general knowledge by the Ordi-
nary methods of dissemination. In ami
NAL industry alone, it has repaid many
times the total cost of the entire eS-
tablishment. 1t has demonstrated and
put on a sound basis the fact that
northern cattle can be brought into
L FlOr1ua. unQer certain conditions, with
comparative safety. 1t has demonstra-
ted and brought to the attention of
the public and to prospective sellers
that Florida produces numerous econ
Omical feed stuffs in great abundance,
namely the beggar weed, the velvet
bean, cassava and several native grass
es, that these may be combined in va
riOus proportions to furnish, in one
case, a ration suitable for milk prOduc-
ton, in another case, ration suit
able for beef production
1t has demonstrated that the silo can
be profitably built in this climate, thus
furnishing succu1ent feed for cattle
during the winter months. 1t has aid
ed the State Board of Health in the
of an outbreak of CLAN
ders, which at one time not only threat
ened our horses and mules, but hui

From the Blutfton. Indiana Banner: When tired out, go home. When you want consolation, go home. When you want fun, go home.

The oc- casion was the marriage of Mr Harper's second daughter, Miss Daisy, to MT. August Henninp. of Little Rock. The house was hand. somely decorated with evergreens and as the young couple presented themselves before Rev. B. L. Milford. the Methodist minister of Forrest City, their faces beaming with love and happiness, it indeed made a pie ture to be remembered by the fifty or sixty guests from home and abroad.
 Alter the ceremony and congratu. iations, the bride and groom led the way to bountiful spread. Mir. and Mrs. Henning took the six o'clock train for Little Rock, which will be their future home.
 The bride is the second daughter or MT. Harper, is well known in our city, and is in every way fitted for the responsibility which she has as- sumed. MT. Henning is gentleman of excellent character, resides in Lit tie Rock, and manifested his wisdom in selecting Miss Daisy for better or for worse.
 The Times launches the proyerbial old shoe after them, hoping their love for each other will grow stronger and stronger, so that as the time flies, they'll never have cause to re- gret their Christmas present.

few items from Johnson town ship may not come amiss to your readers.
 The farmers of this neighborhood have about finished their 1906 cotton crop, and turned it over to those who furnished them hog and hominy to produce it.
 so far aS money matters are con- eefhed our people are worse off than they have been for several years. Most of them have been living out ot northern corn cribs and packing houses, and are as bad of as they were in the spring some of them great deal worse. IL is not only the snare croppers and renters who are suffering, but also the land owners. Lao1r is so scarce and high and what we raise so low, that after paying taxes and other expenses, there is not enough left to pay to build fences. The gamblers and spectators have soo us by the tail and down hill pull on us too.
 The citizens of Johnson township, are raising Cain about the proposed raise Of taxes on bottom land and the proposed graft of Sl per bale on bot tom cotton. Even as the taxes are, people are leaving the bottom and coming to the hills, and if the propos- eo taxes are made good, the Garden oi Eoen will be deserted. It is to be hoped our representative and senator Will work against this iniquitous graft.

Reynolds. Moore Nuptials.

At the country home of MT and Mrs. w. E. Jett, December 2oth, their neice, Miss Cornie Moore, was married to Dr. James c. Reynolds, Eld. J. K. Pedrick, of Paragould, officiating.
 The ceremony was short, but it and the song, The Sweetest Story Ever Told rendered by Miss Fogg, were such as to make those present feel the sacredness of the occasion. Miss Moore was beautifully attired in white silk, and never was she more attractive The doctor wore the black common to such events.
 Both parties are well known to many people of this and surrounding counties. When little child Miss Moore came to Caldwell to live. She soon had the love of all, which she has kept. All the graces and at tributes of pure womanhood are pos seSsed by her. Dr. Reynolds, who came here from Mississippi, is a self educated man. Putting forth the same energy and determination which won his diploma, he has built up an extensive practice. He does his work honestly and faithfully. Any country should be proud of such citizen.
 We wish both much happiness and success. Yet we cannot wish their journey to be wholly free from cares; but we trust that those which do come shall serve to strengthen their love for each other and make their faith in God stronger. +.

THE Town BOARD:-The town
board of trustees is again on

lily hoped that they will keep the
good work going. There are few
things, which have been the great
barrier to success in the past, and
now that some Of those objections
all no longer exist and that the
others can be prevented by proper
and judicial management, there Is
no reason, why the corporation
should not be a success. In the
first place the one great howl in the
rast, has been illegal boards" be-
cause the boards were appointed
and not elected. The present
board is the selection Of your own
choice and no longer can the cry OF
an illegal board. be the basis of
complaint for the kickers. The
second and greatest kick comes
over the collection of taxes. We
do not find fault with any tax paw
er for objecting to paying taxes,
when his money Is used in the same
way that it used to be; no account
given of dollar of money cole, ted
and no improvements to show for
it. But with the present board
there is no reason and should be
no fear of such result, because
the marshal who collects this mon.
ey is under good bond to cover
every dollar of the money which
will come into his hands. The
treasurer w. L. Richards, is under
bond for every dollar which will &c
