TO SEPARATE WHITE
AND NEGRO INSANE
GOV. BREWER WILL MAKE RECON-
MENDATION TO LAWMAKERS.
1s Backed by the Superintendent and
Board of Trustees Who Win Set
Forth Arguments Showing Ne
cessity for Separation.

Jackson.-In the biennial message to
the legislature Gov. Brewer will recon-
mend the segregation of the white and
negro insane, and the establishment of
a new hospital for negroes on the Rankin
convict farm, the Mississippi Insane Hos
pital in this city to be used exclusively
for white patients.
The governors recommendation will be
seconded by the report of the board of
trustees and DIR. W. W. Smithson, the
superintendent, who will point out at
length the vital necessity for making
this change.
The Jackson hospital is now filled to
overflowing, having 1886 inmates on
the roll for the month just ended. OF
this number So per cent are negroes and
AZ per cent white. Reports in the Of
flee of the superintendent show that there
are at least $50 insane persons confined
in county jails whose applications for sd-
mittance cannot be granted because of
the present overcrowded condition, and
Superintendent Smithson estimates that
there in perhaps an even greater number
Of persons suffering with various forms
of insanity whose relatives have not
made application for their admittance.
The hospital authorities have for sew
eral years urged the necessity for segre-
cation, and will endeavor to impress the
subject strongly on the lawmakers at the
next session. 1t will cost perhaps $780,
600 70 $4,000 to provide adequate ward
facilities for the negro insane at the
Rankin farm, and probably $4,000 to
make necessary improvements and ex-
tensions at the Jackson hospital.

CROPS VERY MUCH
N NEED OF RAIN
PROLONGED DROUTH VERY DETR
MENTAL TO CROPS.
Very Little Moisture Has Fallen This
MOnth-WatermeIon Suffering, as
Well as Cotton, Vegetables
b and Flowers.

Jackson.-Crops in this section of Mis-
sissippi are beginning to suffer heavily
because of the prolonged drouth, and
rain is badly needed at this time.
Less rain has fallen during this month
than in any June for many years. In
fact, the rainfall has been practically
nothing, and flowers, vines, vegetables,
etc., are drying up per cent for lack
of sufficient moisture.
Watermelon and cantaloupe vines have
suffered greatly, and farmers in some
sections predict that if rain does not
fall in plentiful quantities at an early
day the watermelon crop will be fail
ure. At present the melons are very
stunted in their growth, and there will
be few native melons on the market by
the fourth of July.
The drouth is now njuring cotton. For
some time the dry season was hailed
with delight by farmers, because OF its
effect in stopping the propagation OF the
boil weevil, but the drouth has been sO
prolonged that the good it did in dimin-
ishing the number of weevils bids fair
to be more than offsat by lack Of moist
ure for the plants.
Rain il what the farmers want right
now, and the appearance of every cloud
is the signal for much hopeful specula-
tion regarding the prospects for long
and steady downpour.

Blossoms for Fall.

The spring brings its sweet, dainty
little flowers, synonymous with love
and hope, the summer blazes with
brilliant garish colors, and the fall
has its own softer tones with which
to decorate the pleasant harvest time.
Gold, brown, deep red, purple, and
yellow have long been the standard
fall lines, but there are many other
shades that can be enjoyed in the
autumn garden.
While they bring breath of sad.
ness with them. still the time Of the
golden rod and the purple aster and
the black-eyed Susan is perhaps the
dearest of all to those who dwell
amidst natural scenes.
Why not have the same beautiful
wild wood colors in our fall gardens
Why not bring the harvest spirit into
your own life by growing the harvest
flowers about your home,
In the early autumn days, after the
riotous summer blooms have gone, we
can fill their places with cosmos, sal
Was and dahlias. Asters with their
shades of blue and purple, great
blotches Of warm colored marigolds
calendulas in a great many shades
and forms, annual pinks, breathing oi
colonial days, and the wonderful
hardy chrysanthemums. Many others
might be mentioned, as the fall list is
very respectfully long, but these few
will do we'll under almost any condi
tions and should be very widely
grown.

WILL SUE TRUSTEES.
Gov. Brewer to Make Effort to Recover
From Guaranty Companies.

cIOm VudIdHty NouPdhAeS.
Jackson.-Gov. Brewer will instruct
the attorney generals office during the
week to file civil suits against the Of
fetal bonds of Messrs. c. G. Smith, w.
A. Montgomery and Leroy Taylor, and
apply the sums recovered to the shortage
in the accounts of Lawrence Yerger, the
defaulting secretary.
Gov. Brewer holds that the trustees
are liable on their official bonds for the
full amount of the shortage; that they
neglected to comply with the plain pro
visions of the statutes requiring them to
personally pay into the state treasury
all moneys derived from the sale of pris-
on farm products; that they allowed
these moneys to pass through the hands
Of the prison secretary, who had no au-
thority in law to handle funds, and it
was therefore due to, the carelessness and
negligence of the trustees that it was
possible for the secretary to- embezxie
such large sum.
II am going to see that the state gets
what is coming to it, or know the reason
why" says the governor.
The trustees are under guaranty bonds
in the sum of $4,000 eachy and the gov
ernor believes that the legal authority
exists to recover on these bonds for the
entire period of the shortage.

MUCH BENEFIT BY SPRAYING
Reasons Why Llme-Sulphur Is Bes,
Solution to Use on Apple Trees
Study for Grower.

The growing Of apples is an enor
nous industry which is constantly ex.
panding. This is due largely to the
fact that of all fruit the apple is in
most steady demand, and is very re,
liable crop. The profits on a well
conducted apple ranch or orchard are
fairly large, the labor entailed in car
ing for the trees and marketing the
crop Is not excessive, and there is
scarcely any section of the country in
which some varieties of apples will
not thrive.
Spraying is the one operation above
every other which determines the
market value Of apples, and yet in
many instances 1t receives the least
attention of all the orchard work, &C
cording to Farm and Home expert.
The matter Of spraying In one which
must be given careful attention and
study by each grower, for the reason
that the practice giving the very best
results in one section may be OF in.
different value in another.
For instance, the Ben Davis Is SO
seriously russeted by application Of
bordeaux mixture that, as rule
naturally fine fruit of this variety will
be rendered second class II this spray
Is used.
Lime-sulphur solution Is apparently
as effective as bordeaux mixture In
the control Of apple scab, and will
control leaf spot and other minor
troubles. In sections where spraying
for bitter rot Is required the lime
sulphur treatment for scab and leaf
spot could be followed by applica
tions of bordeaux mixture for bitter
rot and apple blotch, as it has not YET
been determined that the lime-sul
phur spray will control these diseases
Arsenate Of lead is unquestionably the
poison to use with the lime-sulphu'
mixtures.

Preparation Of the Garden for
Next Year.

Here are a few good plang to put
your garden in the best shape for next
years crops. After the various vege.
tables have ripened and the plants
died, the garden should be plowed. If
you are keeping chickens, 1t would
be well to harrow and SOW to vetch
or rape, either Of which will give you
a good crop Of green food for the
chickens. This can be planted as late
as August 15. Sow 1t thickly and give
1t plenty Of water This crop will
make a good green feed for the chick
ems until 1t gets too dry and then 1t
can be cured and made into q water
mash as needed. This makes very
good substitute for the green feed
during winter months.
II you have no chickens, and there
fore have no use for green feed, we
suggest that you plant the garden to
clover. Clover belongs to the legumin-
GUS class Of plants, which put nitrogen
back into the soil. Let this crop grow
until just before frost, then plow It
under. This will enrich the soil and
Tighten 1t.
In any event, the garden should be
plowed in the fall, particularly where
the soil is heavy. This will permit
the frost to break up and decompose
the soil during the winter months.
making the plant foods more avail
able in the spring. Before planting.
the entire garden should be gone over
with o disk harrow.
It will be still better II you win
cover the ground with fertilizer be-
fore plowing. There is nothing better
for this perhaps than good sod, which
accounts for better crops the first
year than later on. Stable manure In
good.
If the soil is very heavy and sour,
put lime on, in the form Of air slaket
lime or ground raw lime stone.

Splendid OYSTER Reefs

Biloxi-That the oyster reefs in Mis-
sissippi are in fine condition and that
there are enough young oysters to run
all Mississippi factories for the next ten
years is the opinion of the head of one
of Biloxi's leading packing industries,
who, with another member of the firm,
has Just returned from tour of inves-
tigation and inspection of the state reefs
at Waveland, Pass Christian and Deer
Island. He declares that, while many OF
the oysters are comparatively small and
will not be marketable until 1914-15,
that the reefs are in excellent condition
and that this crop of young oysters is
SO great that after next season, they will
be ready for the market and should last
for the next ten years without any
trouble.

TALKS OF VALUE SILOS.
Blakeslse Issues Statement of Interest
to Farmers.


jackson. of Agriculture
H. 4. Blakeslee has issued statement
that will be Of interest to the farmers
of the state, as it refers to silos, and
what can be accomplished in the way
of increasing the feed value from their
lands.
Publication is being made of the i'm
tention to introduce q bill in the Okla
homa legislature providing for the issur
ance of bonds for two million dollars,
the proceeds to be loaned the farmers
for constructing silos, at rate of in
terest enough above what the state must
pay to care for any expense that might
be- incurred.
"Will it profit the state TO do this
Two million dollars would build ten thou
sand silos at an average cost of two
hundred dollars each. An acre Of corn
that would produce thirty bushels, gives
to the farmer one ton of feed worth tif-
teen dollars if the corn alone is saved.
If cut into silage at the proper stage it
will give to him approximately eight
tons of feed worth five dollars per ton,
or more. Forty dollars in actual feeding
value from the acre instead of fifteen.
"Ten thousand added silos would care
for one million tons of silage if the silcs
averaged one hundred tons, worth five
million dollars and from land that if the
corn alone was gathered would only give
feed worth one and three-quarter million
dollars, every cent of which together with
interest and expense, will be returned
the state by the farmers.
From July 2Sth to August 9th, in
elusive, the Mobile and Ohio and South
ern Railroads in Mississippi will operate
forage, silo and live stock special train
covering more than $50 miles and max.
ing more than sixty stops. The train
will carry silos, siio cutting machinery
forage crops, etc. Competent lecturers
will be on hand to talk to the people
and answer questions.
Mississippi must be developed as 8
great live stock state and this train will
be valuable aid to the campaign being
waged toward that end"
