weevil condition to advantage, to
take the stand. The Herald has
published some testimony of this
sort and wants more to lay before
its readers. "In the multitude of
counseIlors, there is safety"
The weekly press of the state
never had a better field for useful
work, than in securing and pub
fishing notes of the character here
indicated. In such an item as the
following from the Woodville Re-
publican, published in the boil
weevil center, there is a seed of
encouragement that will reach far,
for what one man has done others
can do: "Mr. ]. D. Reilly, of Gen.
treville, was in town on Monday.
He says that he has raised enough
cotton this year to convince him
that the heecy staple can be grown
under boil weevil conditions and
will continue to plant it in future" {"
Here is another testifying to Mis-
sissippi's peerless advantages IN
diversified farming: "The editor
of the Macon Beacon made visit
last week to the Noxubee county
plantation of Supervisor Swami,
where be found in addition to cot
ton, corn, hay and many other
things, a herd of rs grade Jerseys
in dairy; rs young Jersey heifers;
IS fine mule colts; flock of so
thrifty sheep, and a drove of fine
hogs"
The Aberdeen Examiner and the
Port Gibson Reveille are unex-
celled, in the pursuit of notes of
the farming experiences of their
readers. So are the Yazoo papers,
the Herald and the Sentinel. And,
it is repeated, the dissemination of
such home news is of greater i'm
portance than ever before.-Vicks-

Free of Ticks.

About 24o pastures in Claiborne
county have been freed of ticks,
and some of them will be released
from government quarantine in the
near future. This means that the
owners will be able to sell stock at
much higher price than the owners
of pastures which have not been
released. If every stock-owner had
gone to work diligently, when the
tick ordinance was adopted, to rid
his cattle of ticks, the whole
county would now be free and it
would be in far better condition
in this respect than it now is.

The following extracts are taken
from a bulletin issued by the Kan
sas State Department of Education
on Consolidation and Free Trans
portation:
The transportation of pupils is
an admitted success wherever con-
solidation has been tried. 1t has
been tried both where population
is sparse and where it is dense;
among the hills of Massachusetts
and on the plains farther west; in
the mud of Indiana and Ohio and
on the fine roads of Kansas, and
experience indicated that it is
adapted to all of those varying
conditions.
The remarkable growth of con-
solidation among hills and sparsely
settled portions of Massachusetts,
where it originated, indicates that
it is even adapted to hilly and
sparsely settled communities. The
steady increase of the amount ex-
pended in that state for transport
tation, from S22, 900 in 1889 to
$236,ooo in 1905 -o6, indicates that
the transportation of pupils is a
success even under the most un.
favorable conditions.
Kansas with its level plains is
far better adapted to consolidation
than Massachusetts with its hills.
But in the few hilly communities
of Kansas the average boy does
not need to be told to jump out
and walk up the hills. BY this
simple solution even the hilIy por-
tions of Kansas become fine terri
tory for consolidation. 1t has be-
come remarkably successful in
states more muddy than the mud
diesf districts II Kansas. The ad-
dihon of third horse or even an
other team in the worst weather,
does away with all objection on
account of muddy roads. The
boys, as in the case of steep hills,
