UNITED STATES MOST FAvOREDr
Opposition Speaker Asserts Canada
Gets Worst of Bargain.

Opposition Speaker Asserts Canada
Gets Worst of Bargain.
OTTAWA Ont, Feb. 1O.-The Canadian
house yesterday began the debate on
the reciprocity agreement with the United
States. The great interest in the measure
was indicated by crowded galleries and an
unusually large attendance Of members.
The result of the afternoons discussion
was a declaration by Finance Minister
Fielding that parliament would put
through the measure without delay with
a provision that It should come into force
as soon as the United States had taken
favorable action and a declaration for the
opposition by Mr.. Borden, conservative
leader. that after a forty-year develop
ment struggle, Canada had reached a po-
sition where reciprocity and increased
trade with the United States was no longer
desirable, but that Canada should continue
to seek British markets with her surplus
products
At the opening Of the session French
conservative nationslists attempted to de-
fer the discussion. F. d. Monk declared
there had not been enough time for proper
study Of so large a question and moved
an amendment regretting that the meas
ure was being submitted without proper
consideration,
No Undue Haste.
For the government Mr. Fielding replied
that the question was not new and there
had been no undue haste In its prepare
ton.
1T is the reciprocity treaty OF 1854 over
again. with comparatively little change"
ne said. 1T promises prosperity to the
people OF Canada and this house would
make grave mistake and do a grave
wrong II It refused to take advantage
Of IT,
The bill will be passed with suspend
ing clause providing that It shall not come
into effect until similar action has been
taken by the United States"
Mr. Monks motion was defeated on a
straight party division by a government
majority Of twenty-five and the house went
into committee on the resolution.
The reciprocity treaty is 90 far-reach-
ing" declared Mr.. Borden, opposition
leader. who was the first speaker In com
mlttee, that no man can tell what it'
. consequence viii be In the last forty
years Canada has made great stride,
toward development and no man can say
that our progress should be faster than q
has been.

Democratic leaders say naturally they
would be for the agreement, but some OF
them are holding off because OF the feel

this view say they hesitate to assist thS

BIG ADVANTAGES TO FARMERS

WASHINGTON, Feb. s-"The pending

distance towards meeting the demands Of

conclusion Of James Wilson, secretary Of

Taft administration TO tpe National
Oranges declared opposition to the pro-
posed agreement
The answer is in the form OF an open
letter made public tonight. addressed to
the legislative committee OF the National
Grange. Concord, n. II.
Secretary Wilson argues that the cost
of production In the United states and
Canada is more nearly Identical than 1t is
between the United States and any other
country, that the same difficulties. with
regard TO farm labor exist on both sides
OF the international line and that Canadian
and American farming methods are virtu-
ally the same.
Salaries Behind Prices.
Secretary Wilson wrote, in part:
Prices for the necessities OF life have
been high and wages and salaries have moi
! kept pace with the Increase. There was
demand for lower tariffs in the last cleo

interest carried the election by default

WEATHER FAVORABLE
To MAKING CROPS

Weather conditions in Mississippi
during the past week have been ex-
ceptionally favorable for the cotton
crop, and the staple is making steady
progress toward maturity.
First bales are being reported in
some of the southern counties, and
picking will be rather general in this
section within the next two weeks.
Barring a heavy general rain during
the early part of the week, the wealth
er was clear, with plenty of hot sun
shine, and this is what the crop needs
during the fruiting period.
While reports continue to come in
of damage by weevils and boil worms,
investigation in each instance shows
that destruction by the former pest
has not been as heavy as last year,
and the boil worm pest is reported
from only a few counties.
If ordinarily good weather prevails
during the next sixty days, Mississip-
pts cotton crop will be somewhat
larger than that of the 1910 season,
and the corn crop promises to be a
great deal better, despite the fact that
serious damage was wrought to early
corn by the drouth and intensely
warm weather in June and July.
Preparations for handling the crop
are going rapidly forward. The bank
ing institutions in Mississippi are fill
ed to overflowing, deposits being at
the high water mark, and Mississippi
will need less aid from the Eastern
financial centers in marketing the
crop this years than ever before in
the states history.
This mornings Commercial Appeal
reports that the heavy rainfall of the
past week has damaged the cotton
crop considerably, but it is not be
lieved that the wet spell has proven
fatal or even serious.

ACCIDENTALLY KILLS
Wife WITH SHOT GUN

Aberdeen, Miss, Aug. Jasper
Greene, prosperous planter, living
two miles south of Wren, Miss, acci
dently shot and killed his wife Satur-
day night. Sometime during the night
Greene and his wife heard someone in
the chicken yard. He got up and Sc
cured his double-barrelled shotgun. In
the meantime his wife went out in the
yard, and when Greene appeared in
the door he could see a figure but
could not tell who it was. Thinking
it must be the intruder, he fired, and
upon examination he found that it
was his wife.
The shot struck her on the side near
the shoulder, tearing one arm entire
ly off and killing her instantly. Greene
is almost insane over the accident.
They moved to this county about two
years ago from near Birmingham, Ala.
There are several little children left to
mourn the death of their mother.

crease of fully one million dollars on
property of this class.
Tax levies will remain practically
the same as last year, except in some
counties where public improvements,
such as bond issues for good roads,
bridges, ETC., will make it necessary
to order slight increases.
In some counties, especially the
southwestern counties, slight de-
creases in land values were shown,
closely following the advent of the
boil weevil, but a steady recuperation
has since been shown, and land val
uations are almost back to the old
basis Many counties deliberately re-
duced personally values last year,
causing only slight increase of the
total assessment on this class oil
property, but it is expected that in
creases will be revealed on their re
ports for the current year.
