member present if it is not possible Tor
all to attend. Let US hope that at least
$50 of the 800 supervisors will answer
to the roll of counties when it is called
ON the morning of October %, next.
That we will have a large number OF
high schools established
by the time the legislature convenes
again there can be doubt. That these
schools will be properly conducted goes
without saying. The people are in
tensely interested and are determined
that they shall be agricultural schools
in every sense of the wor Up to the
time this is written, July Is, eight have
been definitely located and a number OF
others are almost ready for the an
nouncement. A letter just received at
the department of agriculture from
Senator Simmons of Smith says hat
one has just been located at Beer, IN
his county, and that he is $50 happy"
He has something to be happy about.
The schools definitely located at this
time are as follows:
Noxubee .Mashulaville
Walkers Bridge
Pearl ..PoplafVllIe
Chickasaw...... ....Beuna Vista
Bay Springs
TishomingO .................luKa
Smltn -.....
Newton Decatur
More than thirty other counties are
| agitating the question, and 1t Is reason
| able to expect that a dozen will decide
TO have the school. 1t is also possible
hat some that have or will be located,
will not be built when it comes to
action. but it now looks as il something
like twenty would be ready for the APP
propriation when the legislature meets
in January, 1910. This will be far
ahead of any other state in the South,
and it mean that in the future MlSSls-
sippi will pay more attention to the de-
velopment of her agricultural resources
than any OF them. This is well. Ours
always has been an agricultural state
and always will be. This is the begin

of agricultural prosperity.
