THE COUNTRY BOND.

Offers a Suggestion.

Dean Of Cornell Agricultural College
offers a Suggestion.
Director Bailey of the New York
State Agricultural college offers some
thing new for consideration. He sug
gests country bond or organization
of country people which shall be with
out constitution and bylaws or even
officers and annual dues. 1t is posi-
BILE that the idea grew out Of the reso-
luton among members of the Students
Experimenters' league who some five
years ago bonded themselves together
for the purpose of furthering agricul-
tural interests. Indeed, 1t was out Of
the old students meeting that the new
popular farmers week originated.
Around this even many associations
have gathered themselves, all of which
represent progress in the development
of country life. Dean Bailey's idea is
that all interests represented in the
farmers week should bond themselves
together for the benefit of country life
in all its aspects. But the bond would
that sentiment for country life prog
ress should be sufficient to hold togeth-
er in loose relationship all the inter.
ests that center in farmers week.
The broader meaning of this coun.
try bond then is that the person who
is interested in some special depart
ment Of agricultural work should iden-
tify himself with the progress of the
general movement for rural better
ment and for enhancing rural civiliza
ton and the general uplift of the
strictly rural community.
1t was the opinion of Director Bailey
that an informal union of all these
forces might really accomplish much
more, through it's general spirit Of fra
ternity. than any formal organization
could accomplish even though 1t COM
prised the very same persons. I'VE
very much need to put ourselves whole
heartedly into these new movements"
says Director Bailey, rather than to
feel that we must be personally subor-
dinated to any regular machinery Of
operation. The best movements in the
world are those that have n spirit in
common. but that are in formal ways
more or less organic. The Empire
| State needs q recognized forward
movement for the country life, and
such movement comes naturally out
of the forces that gather at farmers

the erection of proper guideboards. the

The opinion is growing among law
makers in both branches of the as
sembly that only a small part of the
radical legislation now pending will
be actually placed on the statute
books.
1t is unquestionably true that there
nave been more drastic laws proposed
at this session than ever before in the
history of the state, but it is far
cry from the introduction of bill to
its final passage. Color is given to
the belief that the number of radical
laws passed will be reduced to a min
lmum by reason of the fact that. in
this assembly as all others. the bulk
of actual legislative business is trans
acted in the committee rooms. and
Speaker Quin showed exceptionally
good judgment in the organization of
committees in the lower house. When
ever possible to do so, the speaker
placed experienced legislators of
known ability at the heads of the CON-
m1ttees, and so distributed the old
members as to give all committees
the benefit of their experience.
The growing tendency to put the
brakes on the radical spirit is nicely
Illustrated by the per centage of bills
Killed in the house judiciary commit
tee, amounting to fully IS per cent of
the measures referred to that body.
Among the drastic measures this com.
mittee will have up for consideration
is the one seeking to prevent corpora
ions from engaging in agricultural
pursuits. These measures were first
sent to the corporations committee.
but it is likely that the bill favorably
reported from that body will go to the
judiciary before being placed on the
calendar for third reading and pas
sage, in order that an opinion may be
given as to its legality, and 1t will
encounter rough shedding If it ever
gets into that body.
The radical spirit, in fact, has been
more conspicuous in the senate than
the lower house, although the con.
trary is generally true Of legislative
bodies.

One of the notable events of the

mass meeting of delta citizens to be

night for the purpose of considering
the Johnston drainage bill, which has
been framed for introduction by Mr..
Johnston of Coahoma, chairman Of

counties will be represented in the
meeting by their largest property
owners, and several competent engi-
neers will be on hand to discuss the
practical features of the measure.
Mr.. Johnston has urged a full at
tendance of all who are interested in
the subject of drainage. He wants a
complete discussion of the subject.
and the benefit of all suggestions
available. Although he has given
much personal study to the subject.
and has had the benefit of suggestions
from competent engineers and others,
the final draft of the bill will be held
in allegiance until all information Of
fered at the Wednesday night meet.

The vital Importance of this meet
ing is best illustrated by the state
ment that there are nearly 5000, 1000
acres of the most fertile lands in the
world now subject to annual overflow
and awaiting reclamation.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 29-Members
of the legislature who spent the week
end on the coast, and were present at
the Confederate Home at Beauvoir
when fisticuff occurred between two
members, growing out of charges pre-
ferred against the management, at
tach very little seriousness to the in
cident
1t has long been recognized fact
that two factions exist among the in
mates of the home, and Supt. Mosby
has doubtless had very hard time.
and been forced to exercise much di,
plomacy, in keeping his charges paci-
fed.
Legislators who investigated the
charges say that the trouble-breeders
in the institution are the veterans
who are in their second childhood,
some of whom are peevish, irritable
and fault-finding, and it is not infre-
quent that the superintendent and
his assistants are compelled to check
their belligerency. Some of them are
too feeble to fight any more, but the
desire to do so has not departed.
The committees engaged in inspect
ing the institution, and investigating
the charges preferred, have not franz
ed their reports, but will do so with
in the next few days. 1t is not believ-
ed that the charges of favoritism and
mismanagement preferred by certain
veterans will be sustained. About
sixty legislators inspected the home
and were much pleased
with the conditions, and impressed
with the necessity of providing addi-
tional accommodations, as the home
Is filled to overlooking. The appro-
asked is $4,000, of which
$4,000 is for maintenance.
