FEDERAL REGULATION.
Judge Peter S. Grosscup Severely
Criticises the States.

Chicago.-Judge Peter S. Grosscup
Of the United States Circuit Court,
while addressing the Traffic Club a.
the Ex1neer County Club severely crit
icised state for interference with Fed
eral authority in matters Of inter
state traffic.
"The Federal COURTS" he said
"will retain their authority over in-
ter-state commerce and their right ta
regulate and control 1t, despite the
frantic efforts which are made In sew
eral parts Of the country by state au'
thorities to deprive them OF thu
right. There is too much Federal reg
ulation now," interrupted proml'
nent member Of the Traffic Club.
Judge Grosscup paused moment
and replied:
"You are wrong, my. friend. Th'
fault, if fault there is, is not with the
amount of Federal regulation, but
with the character of some OF it II
the past. You cannot have too much
Federal regulation if it is wisely ad'
ministered.

Crop Report Expenditures.

Owing to the proposed extensions
of the crop report service which have
been spoken of from time to time 10
connection with the existing system,
considerable interest is naturally felt
in the amounts that the government
is now spending on the service. There
has been a material increase In out
lay in the recent past, due no doubt
to the improvement of the work, as
has already been poin,ed out. How
far it may be wise to go In the ex-
tension of such outlays is a question
of opinion that is to be answered IN
accord with the opinion whether pres
ent methods are economical or the
reverse.

A. PURE FOOD INSPECTION
Inspectors to Obtain Samples From
Factories in Their Districts. Arbi-
tration Laws to Settle Differences
Suggested. Caramel in Liquors.

Washington-A practically complete
organization of the food inspection
service has now been completed by
the Bureau of Chemistry in the De-
partment of Agriculture. This branch
of the work is very important nd
will grow in significance from the
time prosecutions are begun. For that
reason special attention has been de-
voted to it by those in charge. of the
administration of the food law and
every effort has been made to secure
efficient men. About thirty-five in
spectors are regularly at work under
the direction of Chief Inspector Camp
bell, formerly State Food Inspector
of Kentucky. Most of these men, with
the exception of few who were
transferred from other brnches Of the
civil service, were picked out by COM
petitive examinations, in which a
large number of persons participated.
After their selection they were IN
measure educated to the specific work
in which they were to engage by be-
ing taken to various factories in Bal
timore and other cities where the ele-
ments to be observed were most care
fully explained to them, and they
were shown how to discriminate be-
tween manufacturing conditions OF
different kinds. The inspectors are as
signed to specific territory, and are
then expected to do certain routine
work in visiting the different estab-
. lishments, as well as performing any
special duties to which they may De
detailed. One of the latter is the col
lection of samples, and as these play
an important part in establishing The
composition of the product sold, on
which the bureau may deem it wise
in certain cases Of impurity to apply
for prosecutions, the details of taking
the samples are prescribed with great
care in the rules.

Last fall and this spring, several
counties were organized into what
was known as competitive corn grow.
ing contests in some the range of
crops being larger and in one the
girls were given a part. A late begin
ming prevented the organization Of
more than a half-dozen counties, al
though it was hoped that more would
come in on the wind. up. Now it is
conceded and well recognized, that
thi sis one fthe best movements in-
augurated in our state for years, and
it is to be hoped that not less than
fifty counties will come into the plan
for next year. It is exactly the work
that will show results in Ne future.
AS has been said in this department
time and again, the future greatness
of Mississippi depends almost alto
gether upon the development of her
incompatible agricultural resources.
The object Of these organizations is
to interest the boys and young men
in agricultural pursuits, giving 10
them love for the work that will en-
able them to make it success, slim
ulate them to study 1t as does the
man in other professions, employ the
best methods for financial results
and bring the profession up to that
of any in our country. For the girls
it is proposed to offer substantial pre-
miums for excellence in cooking, sew
ing, embroidery and other things Of
interest to the feminine sex. It is in
tended to instill into them love for
domestic pursuits that will prove val
liable and beneficial throughout lifs
The girls are to be accorded atten-
tion as they deserve and their interest
and sympathy enlisted in the work.

The banner acre of corn grown IN
Mississippi last year was on the farm
of Abe Shepherd of Holmes coAnsy
This acre produced nearly $50 weigh
ed bushels. Mr.. Shepherd is acknow-
edged as one of the BEST farmers in
the state and a few words from him
should be carefully read and digest
cd. In communication to the Lex
ington Advertiser he writes as fol-
lows:
"The farmer works hard from
daylight until dark and never seems
to get much out Of his labor except
living or the advance in his land for
which he is not responsible. Here is
the cause of failure. The farmer
starts in anywhere and usually ends
nowhere. He is without system. lie
works with his hands but usually fails
to use his head. So many go ahead
and plant all cotton and scarcely any
corn when we ought to reverse It.
There is where the living is. We can
take corn and raise meat and have
our molasses at home. All cotton will
put a man in bad shape; will show
an empty crib and also smokehouse.
He does not look far enough ahead.
The successful farmer is forehandad
and plans things, keeping more than
one kite to his string. We have here
in Eolmes county several such farm
ers as we all ought to be. There are
the McClellans. You can hear the com
plant every fall that their cribs
won't hold their corn crop-nowhere
to store it away. A trip to their store
rooms will show up plenty of meat,
lard and molasses. Such farmers IS
these don't care if meal goes to five
dollars a barrel, meat 25 cents
pound and molasses a dollar a quart.
Such men as this is what our coun-
try needs. Luck to such farmers and
they will have it too. I invite you to
take trip to Mr.. Jed Powers. He
is one among the leading young men
we have in this state. To show that
he deals in the very best stock that
can be had in the state, he now has
thirty-f1ve young mule colts that are
worth from $500 to $4,000 each.
If the country only had few such
men as Mr. Powers, in few years
there would be in the state some Of
the best horses and mules to be found
anywhere. is pleasing to the eye TO
see this country home. He has place
of beauty, showing you the result Of
proper care and interest taken by a
young man. Now, if the Honorable
Board of Supervisors will offer $100
for the best home-raised mule or horse
in the county, I will say that I don t
believe there is a man in the county
who would raise an objection to such
action. Ben Lundy and Prof. Smith
are enthusiastic in the uplifting Of
and the general welfare of the farm
or. Such men will soon have Holmes
county on the top round of the ladder
leading all other counties in the state
I would like to have n expression
from others along these lines"

II. E. Blakeslee II send you my
expression on good roads.
First, every person wants good
roads, needs good roads from the
cradle to the grave. All occupations
and professions can for good roads.
Second, it takes money and the
proper use of it to make good roads.
Our road contractors do not get pay
to keep the roads in good condition.
In our county they only get from $14
TO $24 per mile. / am writing from
good honest view of the matter and
I think that the legislature should
double the advolorem tax on the road
fund. Third, I find from examination
that our Board of Supervisors get
about 1000 per year for what little
they look after the roads. Now l say
let the legislature pass law to have
road commissioner and let his place
be on the roads from Monday morn
ing until Saturday night and let him
report to the Supervisors. Fourth, to
save the roads I think it would be nee
esary for the legislature to make same
appropriation to counties to be used
for road purposes when the county
adopted the broad tire system of wag-
ons. Fifth, I want you to call ths
attention Of every one that can do
anything to he gate question. have
just passed over IL miles of road
where there are eight gates, six Of
which are across the public highway.
Let's have them taken off entirely
or let those who want them pay a
privilege of from SIS to $10O to be
used for road purposes. might say
more about the plan of road working,
but as money is scarce I will close for
this time. Hope to see something
from others who are interested in this
important matter.

The State Fair Association has let
the contract for an agricultural hall
to be 250x150 feet and other smaller
buildings. These will all be complet-
ed in ample time for the fair in No
vember 5th to 10th. The prospects
for the fair are excellent, it being
safe to say that the interest is very
much greater than ever before and
that the exhibits will be many times
larger than the past three years. The
premium list is more comprehensive
and cries larger premiums amounts.
The large agricultural building just
contracted for will be filed to over
flowing if nothing happens to spoil
the exhibits already being grown, al
most all the space being applied for.
This fair has proven splendid sue
cess from the beginning three years
ago and fully demonstrates the readi-
ness of the people to patronize an IN
dustry of that character. The county
fairs are in good shape; more espe-
cially some of the new ones organic
ed this year.The fair spirit is growing
in Mississippi and from present indi-
cations the showing made here will
compare favorably with that Of the
older states to the north and west
that have maintained fairs for thd
last forty years or more. They ard
great educators and no county should
be without one.
