which it is important to take into ac-
count and estimate; not essentially
anything else. No one expected this
great movement to complete itself in
a single act of legislation and it was
expected that the legislation last
August did not end the movement for
tariff revision.
Hope and expectation is enter

tariff legislation for the present, and

give it up. The following from The

President Hightower, the Mississip-
pi Union Advocate and the other mem
bers Of the Mississippi State Board of
the f. e. and G. U. do not claim to
know very much about the compost
ton, the analysis and the reading of
analysis of fertilizer, and they call the
editor Of this paper the fertilizer
man on the board" although former
State Business Agent Welch made
them believe this editor did not know
the factors for converting nitrogen
into ammonia and vice versa. We ap-
preciate this honor, even if it is saw

of him to me.
