HEAVY RAINS
were GENERAL
Marked Improvements Brought About
in Farming Prospects-Large
Crops Planned.

Heavy rains, the usual accompani-
ment of the vernal equinox, have
been general over Mississippi during
the past few days, and have brought
about marked improvement of farm
ing prospects.
In all sections of the state there
was an urgent need of rain to get
the soil in proper condition for spring
planting, and it is expected that there
will be unusual activity in the agri-
cultural districts during the week.
One of the most significant features
OF the outlook is the phenomenal de-
mand for fertilizers. Managers of prin-
cipal mills say that sales have been
far 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 prepara
tions 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 appears that all
of these estimates were exceedingly
low. In some counties sales and de
liveries have already been from ter
to thirty per cent in excess of last
year. and the fertilizer plants hat
figured on practically the same con
sumption as in 1910.
This gives rather conclusive evi
dence that the farmers of Mississippi
are not only planning a substantial in
crease of acreage, but that. they alsC
have plenty of confidence in the gen
eral outlook; that they are not pessi
mistic or Respondent over the Dol
weevil, and other new problems will
which they are confronted.
Thus far tnere nave been no com

reserved abundant supplies for this
purpose, and will be able to fill all or
ders unless a second planting shoulC
become necessary later in the season
The demand for improved varieties
of corn is very general, largely due
to the campaign of education on corr
culture that has been under way fol

said the statement. Those who knew
of the flimsy fire protection in the loft

dicted such a disaster as occurred in

so terrible. But he fact is there is
hardly a large loft building in New
York which is protected against fire."
In a statement to the press. issued
today, Borough President McAneny
said that 500 firemen recently detailed
by Fire Commissioner Waldo for the
purpose, reported $500 buildings lack
ing adequate fire escapes. The build

ported that only 10 per cent. of them
