The Corn club M0Uemenf

Mississippi has inaugurated many
reforms and innovations that have
been well worthy of emulation by
other states of the south, and the
union. Without exception these have
been for the well being of her citizens
and have received the encouragement
and cooperation deserved, insuring
in the fullest measure the splendid
success achieved. That this success
has not come without effort, none
will deny, but there has always been
a sufficient quota of loyal men and
consecrated women to take up the
battle and wage a fight that has with
out exception won the victory.
One of the most recent of these
campaigns has been the introduction
and teaching of agriculture in the
public schools of the state. endeavor-
ing to give the pupils in these institu-
tons reliable instruction in the pro-
fession of farming, and at the same
time inculcate a love for agriculture
work that would insure the proper de.
yelopment of the agricultural horti-
cultural and live stock resources Of
the state. In every school the ele-
ments of agriculture has a place
among the studies and is given the
prominence it's Importance demands
This is well and good, but it is nee
essary that the work go further and
enlarge its scope as the pupil ad-
vances. Other states may aspire to
commercial greatness and manufac-
turing prominence, but Mississippi has
always been an agricultural common
wealth and must remain so.
The matter of agricultural educa-
tion has been largely left in the past
to the excellent Agricultural and
Mechanical College, which is acl1nowl
edged to be second to none in the
union, but later years has developed a
great need for preparatory work, not |
only to fit the pupil to take up the |
agricultural and mechanical work, |
but to create in him a love for the |
profession of farming that would
insure the best results in the end. In |
compliance with this need the ele. !
nants of agriculture was made a part
of the public school studies. Follow.
ing up the beginning of this prepara.
'ory work, the legislature at its ses.
non in January and February of this
rear, authorized every county in the
state to establish an agricultural high

rom the state to its support after the

terest and enthusiasm throughout the
state. The department of education,
Agricultural and Mechanical College,
department of agriculture and com |
merce and United States department
of agriculture gave every assistance
possible.
During the fall and winter of last
year missionary work was done in a
number of counties by the depart
ments above enumerated and the
result was a decided increase in in
terest. Leaflets from the depart
ments of agriculture and education
with suggestions as to plans of or
ganization were scattered throughout
the state and the effort to enlarge the
work was signally successful. Early
in the year 1909, forty-two counties
had formed clubs of some character
along the lines indicated, and ap-
proximately 5000 boys AMI 1000 girls
were engaged in the work. The re-
suit had been even beyond the ex-
pectation of the most enthusiastic
friend of the movement. A wave of
agricultural interest was sweeping
through Mississippi and the school
clubs were a large component part of
it. In Holmes county, where 100
boys entered in 1907, 800 claimed a
place in 1908 and the number will
likely exceed 400 this year. Others
have shown a corresponding increase.
1t is a movement that will grow as
time goes by, having the sympathy
and support of the best people in
Mississippi.
The last legislature recognized the
importance of the work by enacting a
law which allows county boards of
supervisors to appropriate money to
pay premiums, and some of them took
advantage of the opportunity thus
presented this year.
Does the average reader grasp what
this means to Mississippi, or would
mean to any state in which agricul-
tural pursuits predominant? Can they
realize the permanent and lasting good
that is being accomplished by this
one movement? Think of it; 5000
boys learning the lesson of farming
as the professional man fits himself
for life, and the 1000 girls qualifying
themselves for the exalted life posi-
tion of wife and colaborers to these
boys. Mississippi has increased the
average production of corn during the
past few years more than two bush
els per acre, and these boys have had
no little part in that result. Last year
their largest yield was at the rate of
1870 bushels per acre and this year it
went to 147. Two bushels to the
acre means 52OOO0O bushels of added
crop in Mississippi, worth at the pre-

No quarantine has been established

report that a child of Mrs. Ostler
was allowed to attend school several
days while he was suffering from
smallpox is erroneous, a. the Oldest
child in Mrs. OStler's family is but (
years of age and has not been away
from the house where Mrs. Ostler re-
sides No other child has been allowed
to attend school when there was any

fumigated daily. The children have
been watched carefully for any sign of
sickness and each child has been
fumigated upon entering school in the

party OF ten men who are out locating
the route of the proposed railroad from
Lund, on the San Pedro, to the Grand
Canyon. These men are highly elated
over the richness of the country into
which the railroad will extend. The
route will come from st. George to
kanab and then to the Grand Canyon,
tapping huge coal fields and extensive
timber belts of the Buckskin noun
tains. One of the party, Mr.. Burke,
who is associated with White & Sons,
big railroad builders of New York
told Mr.. Young that the proposed route
would touch the big reclamation pro-
Ject near St George. which ]. NJ. Lau-
rttzen and associates of this city are
about to begin, and he characterized it
as one of the best irrigation and land
schemes in America.
In the party was Government Tim
Der Agent Seery, who said that from
one point on the Buckskin range he
can show a timber area of 100000 feet
without moving, and that 5000, 600, 900
feet of lumber can be cut in the noun
tains which the railroad will tap. and
enough ties can be cut to build a trans
continental railroad As Richfield men
are largely interested in this great rec
lamation scheme, this is good news to
them.
