Breeding For Crops.
Baltimore American:

The Improvement of domestic ami
mails by judicious breeding methods
is no new thing. During the past one
hundred years the evolution of farm
animals by methods of careful selec-
tion has produced results which would
not have been accomplished in one
hundred thousand years by the pro-
cess of natural selection. But it is
only a matter of comparatively recent
date that it has come to be understood
that plants of every kind can be rap
idly developed by wisely directed
breeding methods. 1t may fairly be
predicted, however, that by selection
of seeds and by crossing methods
which, are now understood, the busi-
ness of agriculture is gradually being
revolutionized. Pretty much every
body has read of the achievements of
Burbank in the development of use
full plants. But there are other work
ers along the same line who are ac-
complishing almost equally wonderful
results. One of these is Hon. Willett
M. Hayes, who is now Assistant Sec
retary of Agriculture. His achieve
ments have been in the breeding of
OF his success in this branch of farm
crop development a recent magazine
article declares that twenty years ago
he had demonstrated by the methods
which he had devised that he is able
to increase standard varieties of
wheat 10, 20 and even 25 per cent,
since he has been equally successful
in increasing the yields of other crops.
His unique methods have, in fact,
been developed into system with a
most wonderful organization of de-
tail. Very fittingly this rapid evolu-
tion of useful plants has been term
ed "the new agriculture. Essential
ly it is system of applied intelli-
gence; The art of farming is being
developed into the science Of farming.
In Minnesota, where the Hayes sys-
tenn was first applied to field crops, it
is said that with an expenditure in
1908 of less than $4,000 the farm
yields Of the state were increased by
an additional 81, 1000, 900 of value.

EDUCATIONAL MEETING
Called to Meet At High School Audi
torium July 8, to Discuss Tax
for SchUos.

Supt. Wright has called a meeting
of the Parish School Directors and
all friends of public education for
Saturday, July 3, at nine o'clock a. m,
at the High School building to con-
slider plans to inaugurate campaign
in favor of levying a five mill school
tax for ten years in aid of the schools.
Owing to the growth of the system
the largely increased attendance and
the consequent necessity for larger
expenditures in maintaining the
schools with a competent and efficient
corps of teachers, the Board finds that
the revenues are totally inadequate
and a more systematic method of
raising funds be adopted. Hereto
fore the principle sources of revenue
have been appropriations from the
State, Police Jury and City Councils,
but these naturally vary from year to
year according to the condition of fl
nances With al the liberal appropri-
ations from local authorities and the
State it has been found that unless
some additional funds are secured, the
school term next year will hardly ex-
ceed four months. To meet this exi-
gency it is absolutely necessary that
additional revenues to run the schools
the people of the parish consider a
plan for obtaining not only sufficient
a reasonable length of time, but also
provide more reliable basis upon
which the Board may conduct the
busines affairs of the schools
The previous administration by
means of special tax has established
splendid system and provided mod
ern school houses well situated and
properly furnished but it now behooves
the people to maintain the high stand
ard set, by voting sufficient tax to
run these schools for at least nine
months in the year. This year the
tax for common schools runs out as
also the Industrial Institute tax and
the people may well and favorably
consider the proposition of levying
the five mill school tax for ten years.
A feature of the proposition proposed
to be submitted is that while the tax
may be voted for the entire parish,
each ward will have its revenues kept
separate and applied exclusively to
the schools of that district.
The meeting Saturday promises to
be we'll attended, and after thorough
discussion and consideration it is to
be hoped that some satisfactory meas
ure will be adopted for submission
to the people Of the parish on this
very vital question Supt. Wright
has issued the following circular letter
to a large number of representative
citizens and friends of education and
no doubt there will be an enthusiastic
response to it.:

as yet he had been unable to discover
the germ. He referred to the work
of Teitzonia on the subject and some
Of the experiments that he had per-
formed in Germany, but was of the
opinion that the disease in the South
was of much more malignant va
riety than that in Europe. DR.. Wood
reported that he had heated corn up
to 80 degrees, centergrade, and yet
had not been able to destroy the pei
legra that was prevalent in the
corn. He thought that it was just
possible to find it in other products
as well as corn. He referred to the
fact that DR.. R. H. Bellamy, Of Will
mington, and DR.. Powell, of Glenn
son College, are of the opinion that
the so-called f1blind staggers" that
is found in horses is due TO Pellegra.
DR.. Wood reported that he does
not believe that Pellegra is due to
ptomaine poisoning, but to some
germ which as yet has not been sue
cessfully isolated. He reported that
he is now carrying on cultures and
hoped to report further on this mat
fer. He said as yet he has been un-
able to find any successful treatment
for the disease, many cases of which
were fatal, but was now trying the
arsenic method. Recently, said DIR.

Whale Fishing In Formoea.

Consul Carl f. Deichman writes
from Tamsui that 1t has been found
that large numbers OF whales frequent
the waters along the coast Of Kas-
hun, the southern-most prefecture in
Formosa, during January, February
and March, and accordingly a com.
pany was formed, called the Dai Nip
pom Hogel Kaisha (Great Japan
Whaling Company, to engage in
whaling in these waters. This COM
pany was granted the whaling priv
lege along this coast by the goVeln-
ment last year, but was not able to
commence work at that time and
asked to have the privilege extend-
ed one year. This year the company
has again failed to begin operations
and the government has notified 1t
that if it does not start in the con-
cessions will be revoked and given to
others. There is good demand In
Japan for the products of the whals.

Asheville, Special. The 18th an
nual meeting of the North Carolina
Medical Association was convened
here Tuesday.
A most interesting paper was
read and discussed bJ DR.. j. E.
Wood; of Wilmington, on "a further
report on the Pellegra problem" DR..
Wood has been giving his time up 10
study Of this interesting disease in
connection with DR.. R. 81. Bellamy,
of Wilmington, and while he has
made several interesting discoveries,
much is yet unknown in regard to
this disease, which he termed one
of the most dangerous, next to tuber-
culosis, and the hook worm that the
people of Eastern North Carolina
and the South had to face He said
he had found this disease widely pre-
valent in the eastern counties, par
ticularly in New Hanover county,
and Wilmington. DR.. Wood has re-
ceived some aid from the United
States Marine Hospital Corps, but
much that is at present known be-
longs to the work Of North Carolina

DR.. Woods reported that, while the
idea is that Pellegra is connected
with and due to the eating of corn
and corn bread, he was not convinced
that it was due entirely to the u
of either of these. The thought tL

for the two years being $G94,1Os,OOO

NIt is stated by the same auth
GRITTY that the cotton crop, with it's
seed, is worth probably at least $780,
100000 more, while the rice harvest
is placed at $l7,771,2Sl, the sugar
cane yield is appraised at s34,OOO,-

the 20 Southern crops not less than
$l,542,O0O,000. This total must be
increased by tbe poultry and dairy
products, by garden truck and other
agricultural crops, which, it is esti-
mated, add perhaps $7OO,OOO,OOO to
the wealth of the South.
with these facts and figures IN
view, it is assumed that the present
year will be attended with much pros
perity, and that trade in the various
Southern Estates will be much larger
than for some wears past. !"
