2O5 BODIES ON MORGUE SHIP
Dead, Hopes to End Grewsome
Task i'm Week.

New York, N. Y. - Two hundred
and FIVE bodies of victims of the I'll
tanic disaster are on board the
morgue ship Mackay- Bennett, on her
grewsome cruise off the Newfoundland
Banks, according to a wireless dis
patch given out at the White Star Of
fices here.
The body of George d. Widener of
Philadelphia is aboard the Mackay-
Bennett, according to a dispatch re-
ceived at The White Star offices, cor
recting the list of identified bodies re-
covered. The corrected list changes
the name George w. Widen" to
George D. Widener
But one other correction is made,
Butt This, it is believed, may be
Maj. Archibald Butt. The single word
Shea appears after the name, however,
which might make the name L. Butt
Shea.
The sea is strewn for miles with
bodies of victims, according to the
dispatch, but the captain of the Mac
kay-Bennett expressed the Dellef that
a majority of the lost would never
come TO the surface. The wireless
read:
Bodies are numerous in latitude
:35 north, longitude 1887 west, ex-
tending many miles east and west.

berth Medical opinion is that death
has been instantaneous in all cases,

TEACH SCIENCE OF PLANTING.
First Southern College to Recognize
Need of Such Department.

Jackson-It is the intention of Prof.
G. r. Hightower, when he is installed as
president of the Mississippi Agricultural
and Mechanical College at Starkville,
July /, to establish chair of CONNER
cia1 and agricultural economics. This
department will work in conjunction
with the International Institute of Agri-
culture of Rome, Italy.
The International University exten-
sively teaches the science of planting, CO.
operative marketing, rural credits and
commercial problems that confront the
farmer.
The establishment of such a depart
ment in Southern College, where it IL
probably the most needed, will be
watched with a great deal-of interest.
The next generation of the Mississippi
farmer should be well equipped with sci
entifc knowledge. The state college is
closely identified with the good work
that is now being accomplished by tae

CATTLE TICK COST
One COUNTY S64,843
THE ANNUAL LOSS TO THE STATE
is $2,27s, 410.
DR.. HERMAN GIVES FIGURES
In Some Countries Considerable Oppo-
sition is Being Encountered From
Those Who Will Not Dip
Their Cattle.

Jackson-Dr. j. A. Kiernan of the
United States bureau of animsl indus
try of the department of agriculture
and who has charge of the cattle tick
eradication work in Mississippi, Ala
bama and Tennessee has just furnished
some figures showing the colossal loss
to Mississippi alone from the ravages
of cattle ticks, which are responsible for
the "Texas fever" and carries off fifteen
per cent of the cattle born in the state
each year.
According to DR.. Kiernan's figures,
the United States census of 1910 show
ed 1,012,032 cattle in Mississippi of an
average value of $15.07 each, and a
total valuation of all cattle of $15,269,-
3640O The annual loss of fifteen per
cent Of this number is 151,S94 head of
cattle, and at the same per capita val
uation, amounts to $2,27S, ,410.
To bring the lesson little closer,
DR.. Herman selected Kinds county,
where jackson is located. The census
of 1910 showed 2s,S27 head of cattle
in the county, of an average value of
1882 and a total valuation of $685.
757. Out of this number, 4,323 are
killed annually by the tick fever, at a
loss to the county of $64,854.
DR.. Kiernan reports that the work gen.
orally of eradicating the ticks is pro-
crossing fairly well, but the work needs
the influence and interest of the busi-
ness men of the state who should take
an interest in it and assist in stopping
the annual drain of two and a quarter
million dollars upon Mississippi from a
cause which can be prevented. He points
out that the eradication of the ticks
not only adds cent and half a pound
to cattle shipped for beef purposes, but
lessons the danger of loss from death
Fifteen per cent In some counties con-
siderable opposition is being encountered
from owners who do not want their cat
tie dipped.

Of all libraries the most satisfying

period, but that which is made up of
the accretions of years, and even of
generations. A real library can hard
ly be got by any man in one life: 1t
takes the successive tastes of grand
gather and father and son, with posi-
bly, the happy inheritance of books
chosen by collateral members of the
family. Such library is full of sur

gestive gaps that stimulate DESIRE

WARNING OF SAN JOSE SCALE
COMMISSIONED
CALLS ATTENTION TO PEST.
If Some Steps Are Not Taken to Lessen
the Spread of This Menace to Fruit
Trees, There Will Be No
Orchards Shortly.

Jackson.-Agricultur Commissioner
Blakeslee has just issued the following
bulletin relative to the ravages Of
particularly disastrous and damaging
orchard pest, the San Jose scale, and
the bulletin is well worth reading by all
who have fruit trees of any jescrip-
tion:
There is an important matter to
which | respectfully desire to call the
attention of those in Jackson and the
surrounding section who are endeavor-
ing to grow fruit. The San Jose scale
is prevalent in this section and threatens
the destruction of fruit and other trees
The ravages of this pest can be pre-
vented by spraying. 1t is important
that interested parties take heel OF this
notice, if we are to preserve our trees.
Many good orchards have already
been destroyed, and in short time
there will be none left unless pre-
venture measures are adopted and put
into execution. The hme-sulpnur wash
is most highly recommended by orchard
lists over the country. 1t is applied with
a sprayer. These sprayers are some
what expensive for the man with only
a few trees. Why not encourage some
energetic man to buy one, mix his solu-
tion and do spraying for the tradei
Here is an opportunity to build profit
able business.
If the scale is to be effectively pre-
vented, it will be necessary for the
spraying to be general. The pest is car
Rad from tree to tree by birds that
light on branch and gather the scales
on their feet, carrying it to others
when they alight again. If an owner
expects to grow fruit and keeps his
trees clean, 1T is almost as necessary
that his neighbors do likewise.
An experienced man with = COM
pressed air spraying outfit and the
knowledge of mixing and properly ap-
plying, should be able to build good
business right here in Jackson. The cost
of spraying a few trees would be in
consequential with this arrangement,

had to buy his outfit, it would be pro-
hibitive. have a small orchard of my

tracted much attention. The money for
the monument was raised by the vol
untary contributions of the ex-Confeder-
ates and their sons, and as a free viii
offering. There were no solicitors, no
entertainments or other schemes to raise
the first $500, and this was raised
largely through Hon. Charles Scott, OF
Rosedale, and Capt. II. Clay Sharkey, of
Jackson. Then the legislature at its Lass
session appropriated $500 to equal tho
amount raised by the men.
