STRiNGENT HEALTH LAWS.
Needed to Make Work Of State Board
More Effective.

Jackson.-That there will be some
rather strong legislation recommend
ed by the State Board of Health at the
next session of the legislature is prac-
tically settled. but just what new laws
will be asked for is not known at this
time.
There is a possibility of an act be-
ing introduced, at least, giving the
health board the same powers the
Railroad Commission has 10 enforce
its orders. That such law would
mean a great deal TO the state is the
opinion of those who have studied the
situation. 1t would mean, for one
thing, the disappearance of the public
drinking cup from the trains and other
public places.
1t would also mean better sanitary
conditions throughout the state. II
the needed laws are enacted and en-
forced. in two or three years Missis
sippi should. it is contended, be one

VICTORY FOR CUMBERLAND.
Suits Involving More Than One Million
Dollars Knocked Out.


Dollars Knocked Out.
Jacksonville Mississippi antitrust
law has no application to the rates
charged by the Cumberland Telegraph
and Telephone Company, according to
a decision rendered by the supreme
court in the celebrs1ed Prentiss coun-
ty case, in which colaplainants sought
to collect, in the name of the state.
statutory penalties aggregating about
one and one-half million dollars
Five individual suits, instituted in
the same tribunal asking for penalties
aggregating 100000. were also dis
missed, and the Cumberland wins a
sweeping victory, the supreme court
holding that it is a common carrier
subject to supervision by the railroad
commission, and that the antitrust
law does not apply to complaints OF
this character.
Briefly stated, 1t was alleged that
the Cumberland Telegraph and Teie
phone Company had been discriminat
| ing in rates in favor of the town ol
Bonneville, and against other lOcali
| ties.
The Cumberland replied with de
murrer that the matters complained
| of were within the jurisdiction of thu
railroad commission, and the anti
trust statutes had no application
thereto. This demurrer is sustained
by the supreme court, the decision
overruling the ruling Of Chancello
Robins, and dismissal necessarily
follows.

STATE NORMAL BUILDING.
To Be One of the handsomest and
Most Modern in the Union.


Jackson-The building committee
of the State Normal College met here
Saturday. AS soon as the plans ana
specifications are made and accepted
the committee will ask for bids Tor
erecting the buildings and improving
the grounds, which probably will be
within the next thirty days.
According to present plans, the
buildings will cost $200,DO0 or $22o,-
900. but it is not known just how
many buildings will be erected. II
has been decided to erect an ad-
ministration building and two dorml'
tories, one for the male and one for
the female students OF the college,
with six or eight cottages to be used
as homes by the instructors.
The trustees of the state normal
have in bank at this time, subject to
check. S25S,000, contributed by the
city of Hattiesburg and Forrest Coun'
ty, which will be ample for the work
to be contracted for when the plans
have been adopted.
II is estimated that it will take al
least year to complete the buildings
and make other needed improvements
TO the land donated to the state fol
the normal. and the building commit
tee desires TO push the work as rap
idly as possible. 1t is said the money
to be spent on the buildings will give
Mississippi one of the handsomest ant
most complete normal colleges in the
United States.

ACTIVITY IN FARMING DISTRICTS
Preparations for the Spring Planting
Season in Many Sections.

Jacksonville return of normal
weather in Mississippi has brought
about renewal OF activities for the
spring planting season. Much ground
is being broken, and believing that
the last dangerous cold wave of the
winter has been recorded, farmers are
hoping that they will get their crops
planted somewhat earlier than usual,
especially the cotton acreage in the
boil weevil area where so much de-
pends on early maturity of the staple.
In the truck farming districts where
some vegetables We're blighted by the
frost and freezing temperature of last
week, replanting is in progress, and
the farmers believe that they will get
their produce in readiness for mar
ket in time to get advantage OF profit

tomology, with headquarters at Tallulahi
La, who is here for the purpose of Sc

studies oi the insect. Mr.. Smith further
stated that it is necessary for the 1.-de-
gree cold to catch the weevil; that ii the
insect is under the protection OF stalks,
grass, weeds, ETC., and the temperature is
not that low, then the weevil will not be
killed. The lowest temperature recorded
thus far this year was IA degrees, though
it might have been two degrees lower in

INSECTS INJURIOUS TO STORED
GRAIN.
Edited by H. G. Afford.

The following is a summary OF
Bulletin No II. Mississippi Expert
mental Station:
1. The three principal insects IN
furious to stored grain In the South
are the Angumois moth. the black
weevil, and the red grain beetle.
2. The transformation and habits
OF these insects are essentially the
same, the eggs being laid within the
grain both before and after 1t is gath
cred, and the mature insects coming
forth in about three to six weeks after
the eggs are laid.
3. Their depredations are not con-
fined to any one cereal and by their
work they cause marked decrease IN
the weight or the grain.
4. Other insects are sometimes
found in stored grain, but as rule
are not common in this state and
hence cause but little injury.
s. II sulphur Of salt is sprinkled In
husked corn it will tend to drive the
insects away.
6. Many farmers leave an open
space in the roof Of the corncribs to
allow the rain to soak into the corn,
! which causes heating of the grain
during which it is claimed the weevils
are killed.
Z. China berries placed In corn
seem to have but little effect in keep
, ing the corn free from the black wee
wills.
s. The best remedy for grain in
sects is by the use Of bisulphite OF
carbon. For this purpose "Quaran-
tine" bin should be built, and the
grain treated with the bisulphide in
this bin as 1t is gathered.
3. The amount of bisulphide will
vary with the tightness Of the bin, as
rule one ounce bisulphide to one
hundred pounds grain being sufficient
| 10. AS the bisulphide is explosive
lights from matches, cigars and the
like should be kept away until tht
odor of the fumes have passed on.
II. The cost of the bisulphide Il
about ten cents per pound when oh
tanned direct from the manufactures
12, Insects in mills should be treat
ed with the bisulphide, commencinl
the application in the basement AM
going upward.
13. In the spring the insects In tn
empty or nearly empty granarie
should be killed by means Of the b
, sulphide or kerosene, which will large
ly decrease the damage the followin
: fall and winter.
