Some time since mention was made
in some of the newspapers that the
legislature had invited representa-
tives Of the corporations to appear
before the bodies and present their
side of the matters in controversy
between them and the people, and
asking if the farmers had been in
vited to do likewise where their in
terests were at stake 1t is fact that
that the representatives Of the two
great organizations of farmers were
invited to appear, the Cotton Assoc
citation and the Farmers, Union, but
at the time it was not possible for
either President Hightower or Clark
to be present. This was done by con-
current resolution as in the case of
the railroad men.
The present legislature has so far
shown an inclination to grant a hear
ing to the agricultural people of the
state and their representatives that
IS commendable indeed, and there are
number Of important measures
pending in which they are vitally in
terested. The live stock sanitary
board is one Of them, and it is to be
sincerely hoped that it will be given
careful consideration before the bod
ies adjourn. It means something to
every person who owns live stock and
would be Of incalculable benefit to
the masses of the people Of the state.
The bill to prevent bringing diseased
fruit trees into the state is also of
much Importance, while the measures
to protect cotton from the weather
are deserving Of as much considera-
ton at the hands of the legislators
as anything before them at present.

FOR
GREATER
MISSISSIPPI

LOul yCdlo COhISLilhS IhS 49, s-AAs -
possessed by Mississippi in the pro-
duction of pork, but it IS a question
Of sufficient Importance to never grow
old to those interested in the better
ment of conditions in our state. A
series Of experiments conducted by
Prof. J. w. Fox Of the Delta Expert
ment Station are of especial interest
just at this time, showing as they do
what is possible in the way of produc-
ing pork in Mississippi in general and
the delta section of the state in par
ticular.
The statement has been made that
it was possible to produce pork here
at cost ftwo and one-half cents
per pound, AMI the result Of the ex-
periments conducted by Prof. Fox
bear out the assertion. One hundred
and twenty two pigs were used for
the test. They were killed at uni
form age Of ten months and averaged
in the neighborhood Of 135 pounds
dressed. The price received was eight
cents per pound. The total expense
Of caring for them is itemized by
Prof. Fox as follows:
265 bushels Of corn at 70 cts. $185.50
260 bushels corn of corn (esti-
mated at 65 cents) $500. 10000
Three tons of shorts at $500 $500
Rent on ID 1-2 acres of land at
5000 .................. Sl.OO
Seed used on pasture lots :. $3.50
Total expense. .$579.5O
The total weight of the pigs on foot
was approximately $1,000 pounds,
which would make them cost 28 cts.
per pound to produce when they
readily sold for six cents per pound.
The net profit OIL this herd was $780,
so, estimating them at pork rates, al
though five gifts were sold for breed
ing purposes and brought more. In
the cost of production, everything
possible has been taken into consid-
Grafton except the labor necessary to
tend them, even to the cost of main
tanning the parent herd of ten sows
and boar. The corn is given at the
| market price instead of the cost of
production, which was considerably
less.
Prof. Fox issues a bulletin on the
subject which is well worth reading
and can be had by applying to the
A. u NJ. College. A pasture rotation
was provided, furnishing grazing ev-
cry month in the year. Up to the
time the pigs were turned into the
pea field in September to be fattened,
they had eaten an average Of 122
pounds of corn each and fifty pounds
Of chops. The peas were planted with
the corn and the pigs allowed to
gather both.
This experiment is strong argu-
ment in favor Of Mississippi raising
her own meat, and it is to be hoped
that large numbers Of our people
will send for this bulletin and post
themselves on the subject and profit
by the information contained there

Writing to Himself.

"Some men on the road write let
tiers to themselves before they get
to the next hotel, SO they will ap-
pear important when they register
and ask for their mall" said hotel
clerk. ''But that isn't always the
reason. We soon catch on to them,
because we see their handwriting on
the register and on their mail, and
! noticed it once in a man whom l
finally got to know very well.
"He wasn't the kind of fellow
who cared anything about appear
ing Important l found out, SO I
asked him why he did it. The ex-
PLANTATION was very simple. He had
a miserable memory, and when he
was in another town and would

slip of paper and mail it to himself.
He didn't put the memorandum in
his pocket for fear he would forget

Eighty Degrees of Frost.

It is difficult for us to form any
conception of the degree of cold
represented by the so degrees of
frost recorded from certain parts of
Russia. Sir Leopold McClintock
tells how in one of his arctic expedi-
tons a sailor was foolish enough to
do some outdoor work at precisely
this temperature. His hands froze,
and when he rushed into the cabin
and plunged one of them into a ba-
sin of water so cold was the hand
that the water was instantly con-
verified into a block of ice. At 25
degrees, DR.. Kane says, "the mus
tache and under lip form pendu-
lous beads of dangling ice. Put out
ro-- tongue and it instantly freezes
to this icy crusting. Your chin has
a trick Of freezing to you~ upper

to show that even a wink was IN

WHAT 1T MEANS TO BE A SEN3
TOR


The people of the state of Wash

select the Hon. Levi Aankeny's sue
cessor in the United States senate.
They should ponder well the sigh

shodld be equipped to serve his state
and his country well.
No other position in the federal
government is burdened with weigh
tier responsibilities no other OFF,

While the lawmaking function OF
a senator is important, and some
times Tl.al, it is yet the least of his
functions. The senator, as law

checked by the other departments OF
the government. But within certain
other spheres there are no lmita-
tions upon a senator.
While a senator, in the final test.
may possess only one-third of the
lawmaking power, with the lower
house of congress, the president and
the supreme court to check him in
any attempted abuse of this power,
in the treaty-making sphere, and in
the matter of impeachments, when
he sits as judge, not only in cases
involving the president, but in cases
involving every member of the fed

Whether our foreign relations are
to be just and honorable, and wheth-

impartial and unawed must be de-
termined by the character of the
men in the senate. The power of
the senate over the federal Judiciary
is vital, and also dangerous if I'M
wisely or corrupcly used.
States should weigh carafuny the
fitness of men they send to the Unit

A senator who is either corrupt or

harm. Intelligence and integrity

Think Success.

The oftener one gives exercise to
any faculty-uses, not abuses, it
the stronger and more flexible it
becomes. A Frenchman said once
on a time that whenever he wanted
a book on a certain subject and
could not find it he wrote one.
There is a tremendous lesson in
that. 1t means that each of us
can find out as much about any,
thing we wish to be informed upon
as any other human being in the
world if we will only determine to
do so. We can achieve and conquer
anything another can if we make
up our minds to the performance of
it and make the determination the
law of our life. Success has its
laws, the basic principle of which
is, Give your best to get the best %
