The Farmers Union Of Mississippi
will hold its regular annual meeting
in Jackson next month and large
attendance is expected from tho sew
eral hundred local unions in the
state. This organization is young In
the state but is growing by leaps and
bounds. The exceptionally practical
plan of building cotton warehouses
for the storing of cotton is growing
deservedly popular and in a short
while it seems that large number OF
them will be built in various portions
of the state. The work accomplished
so far has been highly satisfactory and
the organization should have 100000
members in Mississippi alone. A cam
paign will be waged by regular organ
izers with the view of increasing the
membership and good results are sure
to follow. The old cry Of interested
parties that the farmers will not stick
together has been exploded long ago,
and the manipulators of farm pro-
ducts are sure to go up against some
thing that will give them a shock in
the near future. The Union is doing
a good work and this department has
been rendered it to help advance the
cause.

much Importance to the cotton plant
ers of our state. The United States
government has at last recognized the
claims of our people for assistance
along this line and the last congress
appropriated small sum for begin
ming the work. 1t is important that
our congressman and senators be mem

there will be no necessity OF cam
paign to reduce the acreage, but that
every man can plant all the cotton
he desires to and will receive fair
price created by. an active demand.
Subsidies have been granted for this
industry and donations for that, but
until the past year not a thing has
been done for our cotton planter.
We must all take an active interest
and push the good work along, Give
our representatives to understand that
they must do something to help the
cotton planter if they expected to be
reelected and the effect will be pleas
ant indeed. Nothing can be accom-
plished without effort and we must

The Good Roads Bill.

The Good Roads bill pending in the
Legislature has passed the Senate, but
has not yet been reached in the House.
it will, however, pass that body When
it comes up, as it is believed that a
large majority of the members are ia
vOrable to it.
The law proposes a new system of
rOadmaking. It's general features are
the employment of convict labor, I'M
der engineers, There is to be a State
Highway Commissioner, appointed by
the Governor and confirmed by the
legislature. He is to be "a civil engi-
neer, and well versed in road build
ing" He is to have an assistant who
shall also be a civil engineer. The
Commissioner is authorized to employ
such other assistants as he may think
the needs of the State require. These
are to receive suitable salaries. The
Commissioner, together with the pro-
fessOrs Of engineering of the Univer-
sity of Virginia, the Virginia Military
Institute, and the Virginia Polytech-
mic Institute, are to constitute a
Estate Highway Commission.
Whenever the local road authorities
of any county desire to have a high
way, or travelled road, permanently
improved, they are to apply to the
State Highway Commission. If, after
inspection by an assistant engineer,
the proposed improvement is deemed
advisable, the work is to be under
taken. The county is to supply "all
necessary materials and toOls,n and
to have the work done under the di-
rection of a civil engineer to be APP
pointed by the State Highway Com
missioner, whose salary mot to ex-
coed twelve hundred dollars per an
NUM- is to be paid by the county.
The work upon the road is be per-
formed by convict labor, free of ex-
pense to the county.
The professors of engineering in the
three Institutions named above are
requested to meet, when requested, in
consultation with the State Highway
Commissioner, and when net engaged
in their academic work. at his request
to "Yiew any road-work, bed or
quarry, or visit any other place
deemed necessary by the Commits
sioner." For these duties, these pro-
fessors of engineering receive only
their actual travelling expenses.

The blessing of protection are shown
in a recent letter from EX-Represen-
tative Robert Baker to the Springfield
Republican, in which it is stated, that
New York dealer has a profitable
business in buying American watches
abroad and re-selling them at home.
AS proof of the way in which the
consumer is swindled, Mr.. Baker says:
1.-The most expensive watch made
by the Waltham Watch Company is
the grade known as Riverside Maxi
mus. The usual price at retail is SO.
American dealers have to enter into
an iron clad agreement not to sell for
less than $50. Keene buys this watch
abroad, pays all expenses, commits
sions, express and insurance charges,
and yet is able to sell it at retail for
1920, and still n axes a good profit.
He tells me that this holds true as to
practically all other grades of watch
es, about the same prOportionate re-
duction of prices being made all
through. He is even able to reimpOrt
an American Waltham watch and re-
tail it for S2.98. Surely this is les
son in protection" for the American
people.

The free seed, which members of
Congress have distributed among
their constituents in the past, to be-
guile them into casting their votes for
them for another term, must be a
thing of the past, says the House
Committee Oh Agriculture. 1t was d
perquisite, which carried with it
1900 packages, for the most part Of
worthless seed, at a cost to the Gov
eminent annually of S24O,OOO and
should have been abolished long ago.
The original purpose of the free seed
distribution, says the Washington
Post, was proper and worthy, the
earlier appropriations being for the
distributing rare plants and improv-
ing the conditions and quality of vege-
table seed throughout the country,
but that in recent years, though, the
the seed purchased have been of seed
growers and jobbers without regard
to their quality or rarity Whatever
the original purpose, everyone who
has ever planted them in late years
will endorse their worthlessness. 1t
was form of official graft which the
committee acted wisely in looping off.

An extra session of the General
Assembly of Virginia seems to be I'M
avoidable, but no one who is CONVEX
SAINT with its proceedings. can say
Justly, we believe, that it is due to mac
ton or lack of interest in the welfare
of the State on the part of its men,
bers. On the contrary, instead OF being
idle and showing a disposition to
shirk any task which has fallen to
them in the line of their duties they
have erred, possibly, in trying to do
too much and discharging their duties
too well. The fact, that during the 10
days which they have been in session
400 bills have been introduced in the
Senate and some 1900 in the House
shows that it has been an industrious
body, and it is to their credit too,
perhaps, that they have scanned the
bills so closely, that only fifty of the
number have passed and have been
sent to the Governor. But whether
they have done their whole duty or
not the condition exists. that many
measures of vital Importance to all
the people of the State have not been
passed upon and cannot be in the
seven or eight days left for the Gen.
eral Assembly to complete its labOrs.
A few need only to be named, which if
not disposed of before the session eX-
pires, will make an extra session
necessary. The Public School bill,
that carries an appropriation of $780,
600, for the primary schools Of the
State, still rests with the Senate; the
Highway Commission bill, which pro
vides only an advisory board, without
funds to build such roads as it may
lay out, is held up in the House; the
High School bill, the Special Elections
bill and the Railway rate-bill are still
in committee. That these can be dis
posed of to the exclusion of hundreds
of other bills CT merit demanding the
the attention of the General Assembly
in about week is too much to expect,
and if there is any other way out the
perplexing situation except in an eX-
ira session we fail to see it.

The bill before the Legislature for
the establishment of more Normal
Schools in the State will not be passed
at this session. The conclusion seems
to have been reached and wisely, very
few will question, "that whatever
money the Legislature feels able to
give to the schools over and above
the regular appropriations will be
spent on the foundation and go to the
elementary schools to pay for longer
terms and better teaching"
