it turns out that even under the best

business, that the results Of the better

very apparent, then the movement to

SAYS AGRICULTURAL COLLEGES
FACE A CRISIS.


The editor of Farm and Fireside in
cludes in the current issue of that pc
riodical an editorial In which he says
that the agricultural colleges face a
crisis because private interests of vari-
GUS kinds are robbing them of some of
their best men. He tells about a
teacher in a Western agricultural col
lege, who has taken a year off to give
a company engaged in development
work in the South the benefit of his
almost unequealed equipment in soil
management. He tells of another ex-
pert who has gone from a Western
agricultural to become farm adviser
for an Illinois company, at salary of
$4,000 a year. Following is an ex-
tract from the editorial:
THE agricultural colleges face a
crisis. When corn-belt counties are
willing to pay $4,000 year to practi-
cal scientific men the field of scien-
tific agricultural work becomes sud
denly so expanded that nobody knows
where the trained men are coming
from to carry it on. 1t is so great a
war that our force of officers becomes
too small for the enormous armies OF
volunteers.
And the campaign or skilled agri
cultural demonstration and instruction
has not even begun, if it makes good
That's the only If in the whole mat
ter-if it makes good. If the various
Leagues, associations, corporations
and local associations for the better
ment of farming are able to show in
five years from now that the work
pays the farmer, that the farmers
working according to their suggestions
are actually more successful than 9th
er farmers, then the whole farming
population will insist on going tc
school as they go to the fields.
'In such revolution in matters as

cos. OF A MEXICAN WAR.

And why does Mexican Intervention
threaten so heavy toll of life and
wealth? The Republic of Mexico has
an area as large as all of the United
States east of the Mississippi river,
except New England and New York.
1t has population of approximately
100000. But more than half of
these can neither read nor write. Only
about 100000 are whites, and if in
PREVENTION were to make the whole
nation our enemy we would have to
fight a population much of which is
savage and much of which has lived
an implacable foe through years Of
warfare in the mountains.
To start with, there are 1898 miles
of border between the United States
and Mexico. There are only $4,000
miles of railroad in the entire republic
and an enormous percentage of this
has been rendered useless by the last
! three years Oh ClNli Wdiioio' ho INV
bility of troops would depend largely
upon themselves There are almost
no rivers of strategic value. Warfare
in mountain passes, especially against
an uncivilized foe, would represent a
fearful cost.
The strategy of such intervention
would consist largely of hurting
against Mexico two invading armies
one from Vera Cruz on the east coast
and one from the Texas border on the
north. The northern army would hold
at bay all the forces of Mexico now In
her northern states, while the Ameri
can forces to be landed from the east
could make speedy work of the fight
to the capital. Some military observ
ers believe that an army of less than
100, 900 men could execute this sue
cessfully, but the War Department
experts figure that such an attempt
might prove disastrous; and the rea
son for counting on an overwhelming
show Of strength at the beginning is
to impress all Mexico with the ter
rible power of the United States, ant
thus bring the war to speedy close

THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

"The Night Before Christmas" as

most familiar poem on the Christmas

Indeed, it's publication was unknown
to it's author, the genial, kindly, schol-
arly man, who compiled a Hebrew
lexicon that is forgotten and wrote two
or three pamphlets attacking Jeffer-
sons Notes on Virginia" because its
author denied the universal deluge on
scientific grounds, which also are for

SPECIAL RATES
TO GULF COAST

Through the agency of the Mobile
Chamber of Commerce, special low
rates have been arranged from Mobile
to Pascagoula and other coast points
adjacent to Mobile during the Pana-
ma celebration in that city the latter
part of October.
1t is anticipated that there will be
of visitors attending this
celebration from all over the country
and it was thought natural that they
would like to visit the Riviera Of
America. Hence, the Mobile Cham
bef of Commerce concluded that it
would be doing a favor for its visit
ors as well as helping the project of
the coast country by
working for these reduced rates, so
that visitors at the celebration might
have side trip to the coast before
returning to their homes.

Investigating committee, which is
probing the affairs Of public institu-
tions by order Of the Legislature.
Representative Sam E. Mackey of
Vicksburg appeared before the COM

Mr.. Mackey was chairman of sub
committee appointed by the APP

gate the expenditures of the Deaf

pose of looking for Irregularities in

alleged, that prices paid for food
supplies for the institute were much
above the market quotations, and
that supplies were purchased with
out advertising for competitive bids.

ceiving the report of the accountant,
presented a report to the Appropria-
tions Committe, severely criticizing
the management Of the Deaf and
Dumb Institute.

sumo the investigation Of the Agri.

SAVE THE COWS,
GENERAL APPEAL
Government Urges Farmers Not
To Sell Breeding Stock, Even
At High Prices.

The demand for the preservation
Of cows and heifers is being made
in every newspaper that is picked
up these days, and it would seem
that there is a general demand along
that line, Several months ago the
agent Of the United States govern
ment suggested to the farmers Of
the state Of Mississippi that all cows
and heifers should be saved. 1t
was stated that the price of beef
would be higher for the next several
years, and that the farmer who sold
his heifers would be buying same
back in a short while. That has
proved to be true, not only IN Mis-
sissippi but all over the country The
newspapers Of the MidRe West afe
demanding of their farmers that they
hold to their cows and heifers, and
the chances are that they are doing
so.
The United States government
agents have advised the farmers
that the price of beef is going higher
and higher for several years, and
there is no reason to believe they
are mistaken. These appeals are
to the farmers Of the
South, bit they apply to those Of
all other sections.
