Agricultural Credlta.

Agricultural Credits.
A mos, important work, accomplished
IN the past year by the American dirlo-
matte officers In Europe, IL the investiga-
ton Of the agricultural credit system in
the European countries. Both as q mean
TO AFFORD relief TO the consumers Of this
country through a more thorough devel-
opnent Of agricultural ~sourc and M
a means of more sufficiently maintaining
the agricultural population. the project
to establish credit facilities for tina farm
err Is Il concern Of vital Importance to this
nation. No evidence OF prosperity among
We~ll-estahllshed farmers should blind Us
to the fact that lack Of capital Ia pre-
venting a development of the nations ag-
riculturai and an adequate in
crease Of the laHd under cultivation; that
agricultural production in fast falling be-
III the increase In population. and that,
In fact, although these weii-estabtished
farmers are maintained In increasing
prosperity because of the natural increase
In population, we are not developing tho
Industry Of agriculture.
The need of capital which American
farmers feel today had been experienced
by the farmers OF Europe, with their CEN
turies-old farms, many years ago. The
problem had been successfully solved In
the old world and It was evident that the
farmers Of this country might profit by a
study Of their systems. l therefore order
ed. through the department of state, an
Investigation to be made by the diplo-
matte officers in Europe, and l have laid
the results Of this investigation before the
governors Of tho various states with the
hope that they Will be used to advantage
In their forthcoming meeting.
Increase of Foreign Trade.
In my last animal message I satd that
the fiscal year ended June 80, 1911, was
noteworthy as marking the highest record
Of exports OF American products to foreign
countries. The fiscal year 1912 shows that
this rate Of advance has been maintained,
the total domestic exports having a valu-
alton approximately OF 81, 200, 000.0A, as
compared with n fraction over g.. 00O, O0, eN
the previous year. II ta also significant
that manufactured and partly manufac-
tured articles continue to be the chief
commodities forming the volume OF our
augmented exports, the demands OF our
w people for consumption requiring that
an increasing proportion Of our abundant
agricultural products be kept at home,
In the fiscal year 1911 the exports Of srti.
cles In the various stages Of manufac-
ture. not including foodRtufls partly or
wholly manufactured, amounted approxi-
mately to s907, 500,0 In the fiscal year
1912 the total was nearly st,o21, 100000. a

ROOSEVELT CROWD
PUT one over
conventions at jackson Name TWO
Sets Of Delegates to National
Convention.

jackson, Miss, March 27-From
present indications it looks like the
Roosevelt crowd put one over on the
lait aggregation in the Sth district
republican convention here yester-
uaE' Inc Taft or regular" outfit held
thelr convention in the upper floor or
beheVolentHall," negro lodge build
Ing. downstairs on the ground floor
'he Insurgents headed by DR.. S. D.
redmond of this city, the mos. per-
sistent and by far the smartest man
aHVocating the Roosevelt cause in the
state, held a twin convention and also
elected delegates.
The regulars" elected Wesley
Crayton of Vicksburg, and p. W.
Howard, both well known colored men
as delegates to the Chicago 2onven-
ton, and named Paul Brooks and G.
H. NJ, Husbands as alternates
The insurgents also had all coun-
Ties of the district represented, and
elected p. W. Howard, the same man
the regulars elected, and Rev. J. Hair
as delegates. The Regulars instructed
for Taft. The Insurgents instructed
for Roosevelt in equally as strong
terms.
Now P. w. Howard is a colored
lawyer of Jackson. The Taft forces
claim he is Tart man and bound by
Instructions. As a matter of fact he
is first cousin to Dr.. Redmond. the
recognized Roosevelt leader, and pre-.
sumably Dr. Dedmond knows what he
is doing. He declares that Howard
has been all the time and is now a
Roosevelt man. If that is a fact,
Roosevelt will get one delegate on the
floor from Mississippi at any rate
bearing credentials from the "regu-
lars" that they cant revoke. Wheth-
er Howard will remain bound by the
instructions is the question.
All over the state today the vari-
Gus other congressional district con
ventions are being held, seven OF
them, and tomorrow the state con
Nention viii meet in Jackson for the
purpose of electing four delegates
from the state at large.
The Roosevelt forces have beer
camping ON the trail of the regulars
and have demanded admittance to ev
cry heat. county and congressional
convention thus far and have ueen as
they say, refused. As a case for
contest they seem to have worked
matters up in pretty good shape, an'
will send a full contesting delegation
to Chicago the exception o
Howard who has been accepted by thu
other side.
The state convention tomorrow viii
be very lively affair and the lnsu
gents are going to try to force recoe
