CO Sociey and its first president. His
wise counsel and Jealous endeayors
have accomplished much for the good
of the society. This body extends to
him its heartfelt sympathy and the
hope that he may soon be restored to
health and that he may long be
spared for the fulfillment of his nu-
merous activities for the common
good"
In concluding his remarks declaring
the 1910 pool off President LeBus
thanked the members of the board
for their loyalty TO the interests of
the growers and their support OF all eff
forts to make the pool successful. He
regretted the non-success of those
efforts but in the defeat saw final
triumph of an unconquered army. Mr..
LeBus said that though the pool was
off for This year, the board had an
important responsibility in settling
up the 1909 pool as expeditiously and
as satisfactorily as possible. He was
sanguine of the success of the grow
ers for Independence and said that this
pool, though temporarily defeat,
wuold bear large results in the fu-
tture. The farmers We're far better 70:
having made the effort and the in
dus.ry had advanced with remarkable
strides.
E. T. Pollard paid tribute to Mr..
LeBus saying that he had proved
himself worthy of all the orus, repos-
ed in his integrity and ability.
Vice President Ferguson made
short speech, declaring chat he was
proud of what hehad espoused even
in the face of criticism. In support
ing the president he had at times
incurred the criticism of a dissenting
element but he had been sure of the
right and had never had cause to regret
the stand that he had maintained.
Prof. c. d. Pyrtle, of Hardin, said
that he believed the growers would
find stimulus instead of discourage
ment in the situation to-day. H. c.
Myers also made abrief talk
Preceding the voge on thcpool men,

rentals, pricing deliveries and hous-
ing. To compel the prompt delivery
of 1909 tobacco still held by grow
ers, the following resolution was
passed:
THAT we instruct each county chair
man to see that the remainder of
the 1909 pooled tobacco in his coun
ty is delivered as soon as possible,
and if any grower leads him TO be-
lleve that he will notdeliver his to-
bacco take legal steps AT once; and fur
Their, should there come a season for
the old tobacco and any to-
bacco is not delivered during that
season, that such legal steps as may
be necessary TO secure the delivery
of same be taken at once"

POSTAGE RATES
RECOMMENDED
Taft Advocates Change in
Magazine Rates.
Newspapers Will Not be Affected
Plan to Wipe Out
Deficit.

Washington, Oct 3l.--Presidant Taft
and Postmaster General Hitchcock
reached an agreement; to-day on the
| recommendations the President viii
make to Congress regarding change
in the second class postage rates as
affecting magazines and other periodi-
Gals.
Mr.. Taft will recommend that the
magazines be required to pay tn pres
ent rate of one cent a pound on all
reading matter and a much higher
rate, to be determined later, on the
advertising pages. Each magazine
will be required to send a copy of is
current issue to the Postoffice De-
partment each week, or north, as the
case may be. There the publication
will be dissected The reading mar-
ter and the advertising sections will
be separately weighed and the amount
of postage computed by the number
of magazines sent out.
Newspapers will net be affected. The
average haul OF the newspaper is but
300 miles, while the average haul OF
the magazine is LOO miles.
Mr.. Hitchcock told the President
to-day that the plan of separating
the reading and advertising matter in
the magazines is entirely feasible and
he believed it to be the proper solu-
ton of the problem. The hauling of
magazines in the mail has proved
costly to the Government and enter
ed largely into the deficit shown each
var in the Post-office Department.
This deficit has been largely reduc-
ed during the past year. saving Of
100000 having been reported as
a Result of economies put into effect
by Hitchcock. The adoption of a new
rate for the magazines, Mr. Hitch
cock believes will entirely wipe out
the deficit and put the postal es alb
lishmen, on a salf-sustaining basis.
President Taft is looking forward to
a one-cent rate for letter pos hge and
hopes to recommend it before he
leaves the White House. He hopes
also to back up his recomm endation
with figures and estimates which will
show that letter postage at this rate
will yield a profit to the Government.
The establishment of the proposed
new rates as to magazines, the Presi-
dent believe will do much to bring
about the penny postage plan. At
the same time he thinks the maya
zines will be compelled to pay only
their just share in the postal expen-
SEES.
The President is determined to
push his plan for placing second and
third class postmasters under the
civil service. He will make the re-
recommendation to Congress in his
forthcoming message and hopes for
favorable action. In addition to TAX
ing these classes of poslmasters en-
tirely out of politics. the President
believes the move will prove econo-
mical. He Is certain it will en-
nance the efficiency of the service.
The President to-day heartily con-
graduated Mr.. Hitchcck on his adj
ministration of the department.

MISSISSIPPI HIGH SCHOOLS.
Much Interest Shown in Agricultural
Districts-Six Schools Established
Two Years Ago to BE Revived.

Many requests have recently been
made on State Superintendent of Ed
ucation J. n. Power for copies of the
agricultural high school law, enact
ed at the recent session of the Legis-
lature. Mr.. Power has had the act
printed in circular form for distribu-
ton among those seeking informa-
ton, and one copy or more has been
sent to nearly every county in the
State.
Six of these schools were estab-
lished under the law enacted at the
session OF 1908, and which the State
Supreme Court declared unconstitu-
tional, and these schools will be re-
vived under the new act, which, 1t is
believed viii meet all legal require
ments
Not only Is the county high school
authorized under this act, but anoth-
er act was passed making an appro-
priation for the support and main
tenance of these schools. This makes
IL possible for every county In the
State TO establish an agricultural
high school. and many OF the coun-
ties are preparing to organize and
have their schools ready for the next
term.
Mr.. Power is taking a great deal
OF interest in the establishment of
the county agricultural high schools,
and VIII give any aid in this work,
which he regards as an important ad-
tunct to the States educational sys-
tenn. Those counties already having
schools. and for which taxes were
levied under the previous law, are:
kossuth. Alcorn County; Buena Wis
Ia. Chickasaw County; Bay Springs,
Jasper County: Poplarville. Pearl
River County. and Oakland, Yalo-
busha County.

MADISON COUNTY AGRICULTURE

What is Being Done by Prof. Dent

Messrs. Editors: IL once was said

showed their lack OF faith in such
doctrine and their good sense when
they established an agricultural
high school one year ago, as pre-
scribed by the laws OF our State.
The school has In connection with
IL farm of "a acres, about IL OF
which is divided into two pastures,
one being fenced with hog wire.
With the exception of two acres at
the dormitory, the rest is in cult
walton. Ten acres of the cultivated
portion is sandy loan land, and was
covered with network OF wire
fences and marsh grass last year
The other 10 acres in cultivation is
sandy clay hill land and was in pas
ture last year.
The farm owns two good mules,
two milk cows, and a pair Of fine

sugar cane. velvet beans and such
other crops as are suited to this
climate. The dormitory has a gar
den spot OF two acres that is Of
sandy loan nature with red clay sub
soil. This will be devoted to grow
Ing vegetables with the view OF re-
ducing the cost of board as much as
possible. A canning outfit is being
considered for the instruction of
students and for the benefit OF the
dormitory. An orchard will be set
out this winter and n strawberry
patch this fall. This is an ideal
peach and strawberry section. Hot
beds and cold frames will be con-
structed this winter for growing ear
ly plants for an early garden.

The farm work Is all being plan

crops.
The dormitory is a Me- tws-story

Some boys may pay practically all OF
their board by working in the after

will be required to work four hours
a week, and more II he SO desires.
for all Of which he receives Sc. per
hour.
The work in the class room will
be supplemented by practical les
sons; a practical study Of the condi-
tions on the school farm and on
lands adjoining and how those condi-
tons may be bettered. Each after
noon the patrons will see class of
boys and girls make their way to the
field and there receive lecture on
the best methods Of managing soils.
They will make close study OF our
staple crops and learn to prune and
graft fruit trees. They will study in
a practical way the diseases and in
sects that damage our crops, and
perhaps that king Of pests, the boil
weevil, In the field. They will wit
ness the effect Of fertilizers on soils
and perform some of these tests
themselves.

schools of this kind are doing and
can say that Madison County has one
of the best, and next year with its
eleven grades, $50 students and a
corps of seven teachers, will be sec

of the power to think and along with
it the power to express that thought
with facility, accuracy and grace.
In recent years we have made
great progress in the education of
the masses of the people, but there is
a question whether or not we are
making better thinkers of them. We
sion, or public speaking, is not now
taught in our schools with the sue
cess that it once was. The written
expression of thought is also poorly
folks who come from our public
schools seem able to write a common
curacy.
These things should not be. If our
teachers do their work as they should
it ought not take long to have nearly
every child in school to write a de-
cent Letter. The way is to put every
class at the blackboard in turns and
have them write. The teacher
should then pass from one to another
and have them correct their mis-
takes as they make them. The quail
fed teacher can thus have respectable
letters written in a short time l
have tried it and know what l am
talking about. If there is not time
for such special work, time should
be made for it even at the expense
of nature study, or formal grammar,
or even agriculture. However, these
other things could we'll come in as
subject matter for written exercises.
There is no need to leave them out.

EDUCATION ON THE FARM.

The Farmers First Need is for a
Broad Culture-Teach the Chill
dren Above All to Read and Think.
Messrs. Editors: In late years
there has been great deal said and
written about agricultural education,
and much has also been done to fur
Their the interests of this cause. Ag-
ricultural colleges have been estab-
lished in every State of the Union.
High schools with an agricultural
feature are being planted in many
counties. Finally there is strong talk
of teaching agriculture even in the
district schools.
Such progress is very gratifying to
the farm community. Farmers have
just the same need for special edu-
cation as have mechanics, or doctors,
or lawyers. The only caution is that
in reaching out for special we must
not neglect the fundamental prin-
ciples of general education. Farmers
need a broad culture just as much as
any other class and perhaps little
more. Especially is there more need
for science and economic study in
their line than in most others.
We must have more agricultural
teaching in the rural school, but it
must be subordinate to the teaching
of reading, writing, arithmetic and
English grammar or the expression
Of thought. The first object of all
teaching should be the development

teach them how to place business
principles in their farm plans and
how to make farming profitable; it is
his ambition to interest them in farm
life and to persuade them to go back
home, beat their daddies at their
own game and live the most indie
pendent life known to man.
