Prof. Smith Taking Hold.

Prof. William H. Smith, the able and
popular educator from Holmes county,
who is state supervisor of the element
airy rural schools, is preparing to take
up the duties that will fall to him in
his new field of labor.
One important feature Of Prof.
Smiths work will consist in starting
of on a practical basis of the consoli.
dated rural school system, which was
authorized at the 1910 session Of the
legislature. BY adopting this plan,
where there are two or three country
schools within radius of few miles,
one school will be maintained, the
school trustees being in the same act
authorized to provide for the transpor-
tation OF pupils who live beyond two
miles from the school so consolidated.
It is figured out that the cost of trans
portation will be more than covered by
the saving In teachers salaries, as the
combining of two or three schools in
one will enable the authorities to dis
pense with the services Of one or more
teachers.

developed an arboricultural industry to proceed
hand in hand with the preparation of quebracho
posts for fences and construction work, sleepers
for railways, and of tanning extract, the three
industries for which this unique tree Is at present
utilized
"Rollizos' is the Spanish word commonly en-
ployed In the trade for the rough and untrimmed
logs (Which the word means), from which only
the bark has been removed. They still sup
piled by smaller camps from dwarfed under
growth not great enough for other purposes than
posts, beams, cabin pillars, or cart axles. When
the forest was first invaded these logs were the
only product brought out of It, and the stories told
of the primitive methods adopted by the natives
for transport carry back before the days of
steam and machinery. A popular way Of loading
the logs was to lay them on the ground on ropes;
then the animals were embarrassed and the cart
tilted bodily upside down the logs;
these were then made fast to the body of the cart
after which maneuver 1t was brought back to its
normal position. OF course only two-wheeled carts
used. AS soon as modern methods In
troduced, and better carts or wagons became
known these primitive and cumbersome habits
disappeared although In the far interior even to-
day rollizos still brought to market In this
manner. "Durmientes," according to the Spanish
or sleepers, in the English idiom. probably the
most important product of the quebracho of the
Argentine Republic.
The industry of making sleepers has assumed
huge proportions The difficulties of former days
have been largely overcome by the Introduction
of modern machinery, especially saws. and some
of the mills many miles distant from any main
railway are equipped and organized in manner
which would reflect credit any similar plant In
the United States. Special saws needed to
penetrate the wood, but they furnished from
the factories Of England, France, and America.
This mill business is carried % by many COM
panies, although the tendency is to concentrate
the management into fewer but larger organiza-
lions. One company owns tract of land of about
100000 acres, and is prepared to cut timber
fashion 1t into logs and seepers, prepare tanning
extract and utilize every other which the
land provides. Another company turn out
10000 to 1000 sleepers week This number, how
ever, can by no means meet the steady demand
for railway building which is characteristic of this
portion Of South America Sleepers are laid at
about an interval of two feet from center to cen
ter. Assuming, therefore, only 1000 seepers for
every mile 1t will be seen that 10000 are enough
for only 15 miles. years supply at fullest capac
ity will consequently build only $50 miles of rail-
way. But the Argentine Republic. Uruguay, Chile
and Bolivia all contiguous to the Chaco are con-
structing more than this mileage, so that 1t is
easy to see that every sleeper turned out from
modern mills at once find local market
These sieepers finished at the mill, and
the mill is situated the spot in the forest itself

portion not reserved for posts and sleepers, for
this extract. In Paraguay and areas in the Chaco
remote from good roads. SO that the cost of sup
plying timber is excessive, every particle Of the
wood is tarned into extract, because the demand
is usually In advance Of the supply and it is there
fore more profitable to manufacture the more
concentrated article, which be easier and more
economically carried to market.
One feature of quebracho, in which it is SUI
perior to other of supply, is that the bark
the sapwood, and the whole of the central part
of the tree produce the extract in considerable
quantities. The bark contains to per cent. of
tannin. the sap to per cent, and the heart 20
to rs per cent AS the heart represents two-thirds
and often three-fourths of the total quantity of
wood, the amount of tannin in the Quebracho colo
RADIO is seen to be considerable 1t Is merely a
chemical question whether this tanning material
is equal inferior to that from the oak, but later
methods of preparation point to full justification
of the claim that the leather from quebracho ex-
tract grades up to that resulting from any other
tanning substance. So serviceable is 1t, however
that since It's discovery. the tanning industry OF
the Argentine Republic has made noticeable ad.
vance, because, with both hides and extract as
great natural products of the country, the
ment Is making every effort to foster the leather
industry within Its own border.
"Quebracho extract" as 1t is called in the trade
is easily manufactured when the machinery is
a machine that cuts 1t into shavings or the small
est possible chips. 1t is then collected into i'm
mense kettles, in which 1t is treated by chemical
processes until all the tannin is removed; after
this the fluid preparation is reduced by evapora'
ton to thick, jelly-like mass, which is poured
into sacks, where 1t is finally dried into the sub
stance sold in commerce.
The difficulty of gathering the material far
outweighs the preparation of the finished article.
especially as the extract is no longer to be con-
sidered by-prcduct but is coming to have more
Importance and value than posts and sleepers. In
Paraguay particularly where all the wood is util-
lied for extract. the hardest part of the business
lies in gathering wood for the factory. The trees

understand the wilderness, and can Withstand the
plague of insects which make life at night mis-

as we'll as days is unavoidable, because the cut

In 1895 the first real expectation of quebracho
extract from the River Plate recorded. The
increase has been rapid-from 400 tons in the first
year to 5000 tons in 1902 120.594 tons in the next
five years, and 2s195 tons in 1907. OF this guam
tity the United States received 1873 tons. or al

treasury for the purpose of verifying
the books and cash account of the
treasurer. The result was the inter
esting discovery that there was just
30 cents In the cash drawer. though
this, OF course, does not represent the
states cash balance. IN the certif-

wards and Deputy Auditor Thomson.
the governor states that in addition
to the 80 cents in the drawer he found

Railroad deals seem plentiful about
Jackson just at present. Following
the announcement that the Great
Northern would erect a quarter of a
million-dollar depot in this city comes
the news from New Orleans that the
Frisco will build line into Jackson.
BY an agreement between the Great
Northern and the Frisco system it is
said that arrangements have been per-
fected that will secure another line
connecting this city with Memphis.
This is to be done by the extension of
the Great Northern to point near
Memphis.

To All Farmers in Boil weeyil Terri

The fight against the weevil has
not progressed far enough for its eff
fectfveness to become fully apparent.
But one lesson has, or should have
been. impressed on the man who has
been compelled to pick closely the
weeviis and punctured squares in his
field, and that is the urgent need Of
so reducing the emerging weevils as
to minimize the expense and trouble
Of picking them.
The only way to do this effectively
is by burning all cotton stalks be-
fore frost In the fall.
Hundreds and thousands Of weevils
have appeared in the fields in weevil
sections this spring, and the expense
and trouble of picking them has often
been very considerable item How
ever, it was one of the effective means
of fighting the pest, and every farmer
who has carefully followed this prac-
tice will profit by It.
By destroying your stalks in the fall
at cost of 80 cents an acre, you can
very greatly reduce the cost of pick
ing weevils and punctured squares In
| the spring, and practically assure
your cotton crop.
Further, the expense of picking the
weevils this year has been compare
lively light, on account of our very
cold winter BY June 20 this year,
following a cold winter, only per
cent. of over-wintered weevils had
emerged from hibernation: while one
year ago. followed by mild winter,
over 20 per cent, or five times as
many. had emerged by the same date.
Hence, where stalks are not de-
stroyed the average expense of pick
ing weevils and squares will very like
ly be much greater than this year.
We are always going to make cot
ton in Mississippi, but the sooner the
grower realizes that smaller acre
age, fall destruction of stalks and
! picking weevils and squares, and rap
id, intensive methods are essential,
the better it will be for all concerned.
