Mississippi Anticipation Bill.

The defeat in committee of the Boddie
anti-option bill has placed the matter of
the future brokers in Mississippi up to
a question of framing new bill, which
will meet the demand of the people and
not work an injustice to the members
OF the New Orleans Cotton and Stock
Exchanges, who have branch offices in
many Mississippi towns. The Boddie bill
carried a prohibitive tax of $4,000. 1t is
anticipated that the new bill will impose
a reasonable tax and place the exchanges
under supervisors of the state auditor,
as in the state OF Texas.
The fact that farmers and merchants
who have spot cotton to SELL, would
otherwise be prevented from hedging
In futures. thus protecting their con-
tracts and interests and insuring them
selves against loss by price fluctuations,
had much to do with killing the Boddie
bill, which took In it's dragnet bucket
shops and legitimate warehouses alike.
The latter are members of regular ex-
changes and can deal only In legitimate
contracts and therefore are willing to be
taxed to do business, but objected to
the enormous tax carried by the Boddie
bill. The result of this particular legis-
lation is watched with interest by all
southern cotton farmers, brokers, spot and
mill men as directly affecting their in
terests.

Federal Quarantine Bill.

The announcement by Congressman
John Sharp Williams that he will call a
meeting of leading southern representa-
tives to confer upon framing a national
quarantine bill has created deep interest
here, where the project had its origin.
and meets with the heartiest approval
No opposition is expected to the matter
of charging the scope of the Public
Health and Marine Hospital service re-
lating to maritime or foreign quarantine.
but there will be divergence of opinion
as to interstate mot intra-state') quar-
antine. though 1t is believed the opposi-
ton will surrender to the universal de-
mand for better protection not only
against disease but insane and disastrous
shot gum guarantees.
The resolutions adopted at the Chat
tanooga conference do not contemplate
federal control of local or intra-state
quarantine, but only of foreign and inter-
state matters. DIR. ]. H. White, United
States Marine Hospital service, who
stamped out the fever in New Orleans,
even before frost, has been assigned per-
manently to New Orleans at the special
direction of President Roosevelt. He
with the health officers of various south
ern states and Dr. Irion, the new presi-
dent of the Louisiana state board of
health, will leave in a few days on a
special ship rendered by Manager Ellis
of the United Fruit company. and will
make a tour of caribbean waters, for
the purpose of investigating health con-
ditions ON the coast of Mexico and Cen
trail America, where the ships of the
United Fruit company ply.
Mr.. Ellis sharp denial of the insinua-
lions that the fever was introduced to
New Orleans from Central America via
one of his ships and his demand of proof
or damage suit as alternative, has had
a marked effect in the matter of personal
investigation part of the health Of
ficials and the present tour of inspection
is the result.

MODEL FARMS AND FARMING

From the American Cultivator.
The s.model farm Of the Rev. Mr.. De-
trich has been the subject of considerable
criticism by those who refuse to see any
specfal value in the results and methods
advocated TO one of the most severe of
these attacks. that by Prof. g. H. Massey
occasion was taken for reply by DIR. De-
trich Al a recent farm meeting in Connect
icut. His own methods DR.. DIETRICH as
serts. are not local and could not be sue
cessfullv used anywhere. The land being
of limited extent it was necessary TO
work 1t to its utmost capacity, and the
cheanest way for him to get full crops
was 10 buy large quantities of grain and
feed II out on the farm rather than to
.uv fertilizers The soil he considered SIM
nly a medium of holding and giving UP
the food to the plants. ell could not al
ford to LEI the ground lie idle to grow
such crops as clover for blowing under
These methods, as our readers viii re-
call led to marked success. The output
of the little farm rapidly paid off a
large mortgage and the farm itself be-
came SO fertile and productive that 1t at
tracted general attention because Of the
condition of the soil, the large number
of acres maintained and business like
regularity of the system ON management.
As 10 the point of most common criti-
c,sm the price obtained for the milk, Dr.
Detrich insisted the price was wholly the
result of quality. The Philadelphia deal
ers had offered ~ cents for every quart
of milk he could produce. but il was final-
~ disposed of to an institution at 6ja
cents. The price was owing to the great
richness Of the milk. The high price which
he Maid for grain, was returned to him in
the fertlllzing value alone, for the reason

CLIFTON 3. GLASS DEAD.
W as Highly Esteemed in Home Town
of Linden.

Linden, January A.--(Special.)-A tele-
gram was received here yesterday stating
that Clifton B. Glass, the 1S-year-old son
of ex-Sherif and ex-Postmaster p. b.
Glass had suddenly died in Atlanta, where
he had gone to enter school and prepare
himself in pharmacy.
Clifton was born in Linden and was a
boy far above the average in morals and
character He was a consistent member
of the Baptist church here, of which his
father is a deacon, and was universally
liked. He had decided to prepare himself
for a druggist and left home on the LIST of
January to enter school in Atlanta. The
telegram did not state the cause of his
death. but simply said he died suddenly
al o'clock and that the remains would
arrive here on the train Sunday evening.
Some of his relatives. including his father,
and several friends went to Selma to meet
the remains and special train returned
with the body last night.

Confederate Reunion at New Orleans

The Confederate Veterans association
of New Orleans has been granted per-
mission to use an entire square of ground
only three blocks below Canal street,
upon which to erect its auditorium for
the reunion here April 49, 26 and q.
A year ago all the quaint old French
and Spanish buildings in this block were
torn down to make way for new state
courthouse, construction upon wnIeh will
not begin until next year, so the entire
space Is available and in practically the
heart of the city. The square faces the
old St. Louis or Royal hotel, which lat
ter now in dsuse, will probably be con-
verified into rooming hotel for veterans
and with cots should be able to ac-
commodate 1000 or more persons.
The old ST. Louis hotel was where the
White Leaguers, in reconstruction days,
held United States troops in a state
of seige. The old BLACK legislature"
also held forth there and before the war
the place was the mecca of Louisiana
fashion The grand Duke Alexis of Rus
STA was entertained there at one of the
carnival balls in the great domed ball
room.
Ex-Lieutenant Governor Albert Esto-
pinal has been elected commander of the
Louisiana division, u. G. ".
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1906-01-22

that he bought high-class grains and
saved all the fertilizing material. He
bought grain rather than fertilizer, he
said, because chemical fertilizers pos
sessed practically no humus, which IS
absolutely necessary to grow large crops.
The manure secured from the grains prac-
tically paid for the grain, at the same
time feeding the cattle and producing rich
and profitable products.
After all, perhaps, the most important
item of Dr. Detrich's methods is the care
with which the manure product was ham
died. By using plenty of absorbing ma
terial all the value was saved and prompt
" put to use. In this direction the aver
age farmer has much to learn perhaps
from this much-talked-of clergyman farm
err. In other details his methods may not
all be generally useful. Some time, posi-
bly,, the consumers will learn to appre-
cate the superior value of high-class milk
and be ready to pay the wholesale prices
obtained by DR.. DIETRICH, but at present 1t
would be hard for any large proportion
of the farmers to get any such returns
even for the richest of Jersey milk. To
adopt DIR. Detrich's rather costly methods
on the average milk farm, where the pro-
duct is sold at to 3 cents per quart,
would be liable to invite disaster.
As a rule on such farms land is cheaper
than fertilizer and grain, and while II
may be advisable to save the manure as
carefully as DR.. DIETRICH does, and as
carefully as he is doing on his new farm
1t might not be best to try to concen-
trate the crops on too small an area, but
rather to gradually bring up the quality
of a larger area of land. The DIETRICH
plan may be the prophecy of the future
when land is more costly than now, and
when the mass of people are willing and
able to pay to 10 cents per quart fol-
their milk at retail. Meanwhile, some OF
the details are certainly worthy of atten-
ton even under present conditions OF
everyday stock and dairy farming.

The farms OF many of our readers. no

a good subsoil pillow, broken deep, four

organic matter, plant food Every day
during this month when the soil is dry
enough this work may be carried on.
/ cannot take time in this article to
show all the advantages to be derived
from sub-soiling for they are many. But
one of the most important Is that in pre-
pairing this deep seed bed it can and
should be filled with plant foods. These
deeply prepared seed beds will hold mois-
