JACKSON, Mss,
Feb. 18th. 1912

Ed. EAGLE: After 2 grinding
of six weeks in the legislature |
will ask that you kindly grant me
a limited space in NAich | may
summarize briefly lhe results OF
the labors OF this body.
Out OF the great number of
measures which have BEEN pro-
posed only a very small per cent
nave reached TIE final gal aud
received the stamp OF approval
ey the governor.
The committees have been very
murderous, it seems, in dealing
with the measures I'm mating
from the over crowded minds OF
our s atssmen, and have in their
Judgment ouly approved OF those
measures which materially affect
the best interests of the state.
They have IN dealing with pro-
posed legislation resorted to all
the methods known to modern
surgery, vivisecting. disSecting,
and in some instances down right
~mutilatlon, and | shall not try to
hide the fact that some of the
measures proposed by the writer,
either while undergoing the va
rious operations expired, or has
not yet e vered from the anes
thetics. However, some import
ant measures have been thr-shed
out in a satisfactory manner.
One thing that We hope to ac-
compish that | am sure will be
hailed with delight by our people
Is bringing the expenditures OF
the state within her revenue.
The writer was honorei with a
place on the committee on aD-
preparations, and il has been the
p llicy and intention from the be-
ginning of our labors on this
work TO avoid a bond issue at
this time, and at the same time
be fair and just to all our insti-
buttons.
Ii you will pardon me for de-
parting from the subject of this
letter, i would like TO mention
briefly some of my observations
as regards-t the much dreaded pest
the boil weevil. Being a member
of the penitentiary committee, it
has been my privilege to visit the
various state farms, all of which
have been more or less damaged
by the weevil. On the Rankin
farm, about eight miles east of
jackson, the cultivation of cotton
has been abandoned on account
of this pest. On the Parchman
farm, located in Sunflower coun-
ty, they made theis first appear
ance the past season and the
comparative damage was slight,
nevertheless with an increase OF
sixteen hundred acres. the pro-
duction fell short one thousand
five hundred bales from 1910
crop. BY examining the location
Of this county you will ind that
