RECENT RAINS
BENEFIT To- FARMERS
ALL SECTIONS OF STATE WE'RE
NEEDING RAIN.
General Rainfall Over State Makes
Crop Prospects Brighter-unus-
ual Demand for Commercial Fer
tilizers-PIannning Big Crops.

Heavy rains, the usual accOmpan-
iment of the vernal equinox, have
been general over Mississippi dur
ing the past few days, and have
brought about a marked improve
ment of farming prospects.
In all sections of the state there
was an urgent need Of rain to get
the soil in proper condition Tor
spring planting, and it is expected
that there wifi be unusual activity
in the agricultural districts during
the week
One of the most significant feas-
lures of the outlook is the phe-
nomenaI demand for fertilizers.
Managers or the principal mills say
that the sales have been fair IN
excess of their expectations, and in
some Instances they are unable TO
fill all orders offered.
In accordance with their ANNUAL
custom. mill managers made prepa-
rationS for the season in accordance
with advices received from their
local agents showing the probable
acreage and character of crops to
be planted this year, but it now ap-
pears that all of these estimates
were exceedingly low. In some
counties sales and deliveries have
already been from ten to thirty
per cent in excess OF last year, and
the fertilizer plants had figured on
practically the same consumption
as in 1910
This gives rather conclusive eVl-
dence that tile farmers of Missls-
sippi are not only planting sub
stantial increase in acreage, but
that they also have plenty of con-
fidence in the general outlook; that
they are not pessimistic or despon-
dent over the boil weeviI, and 9TH
er new problems with which they
are confronted.
Thus far there have been no COM
: pIai4its Of scarcity OF cotton seed
Tor planting purposes. The oil mills
have received abundant supplies
for this purpose, and will be able
90 fill all orders unless a second
planting should become necessary
later in the season.
The demand for improved vari-
cites of corn is very general lar
gely due to the campaign of edu-
cation on corn culture that has
been under way for the past year

Is even today a full-fiedged republic,
caring not for either of the other
Russias and recognizing no ones au-

Primoff Circuit, also known as
Imam Republic, is situated In a forest
wilderness three hundred and fifty
miles from Vladivostok and. though
annexed hundreds OF wars ago, its
people have never paid taxes or tri-
butte to the czar. They are mix

govern themselves by laws OF their
own making. These laws provide for
three kinds OF death. u
fine to be paid In meat and whip

Gambling is tolerated only for one

Although the regular through SER
vice on the ID. u. r. and NJ. U. H..

kalamazoo doesn't start until April 4,
he two companies Thursday morning
instituted partial service between the
points. The ID. L. II. started car

be the first car OF the NJ. IT, r. 10 run
through the streets of Detroit. In
construction IL is similar to that OF
he ID. u. X. interurban cars, but is a
trife longer. The running of the cars
prior TO the time for the regular ser
vice TO begin is for the purpose OF
allowing the crews Of the two COM
panies TO become familiar with the
operation OF the equipment OF both
roads. Heretofore the ID. L. r. has
gone no farther than Jackson. while
the NJ, L. r. also stopped there on The
run from Kalamazoo.
The possibility of enlanging the
sphere or the interuTban service for
the benefit OF the travelling public has
been under consideration by these two
interurban systems for several months
and, while the favorable decision was
ieached some time ago by officials OF
both companies, the details have only

"All these limited runs will be
made without change of cars, and the

PETITION DENIED
Canvassing Board Refuses To Throw
Out Vote in Tenth Precinc. of
First Ward.

Charles Z. Baxter's petition for the
tenth precinct OF the First ward, in
the recent primary, on the ground
that the election board OF the pre-
cinct started counting the ballots an
hour ard 20 minutes before the polls
closed, was denied by City Clerk
Nichols and City Treasurer Koch,
constituting a majority OF the board,
late Wednesday afternoon. Police Jus.

board was not present, although he
had received an opinion that ne had
a right 10 sit In spite OF the fact that
he is candidate for reelection.

Attorney George +. Monaghan APP
peared for Baxter before the board or
canvassers. He cited a number or
cases in an attempt TO show that the
board had right to go behind the
returns and declare the vote In the
tenth precinct nullity. Mr.. Mumford
was represented by Attorneys James
V. Oxtoby and Fred r. Schmalzriedt.
The former spoke very briefly, de-
claring that the board had no author
ity to throw out the votes.
City Clerk Nichols, as chairman or
the board. rendered the decision.
which was based on an opinion rem
dered by Corporation Counsel Hally
! I'm another case last fall, in which he

no power TO 20 behind the returns.
The decision OF the board was as fol-

votes and because Of the short space
