BEEN ASSAULTED LAST
EVENING

A Sensation.

Persons In the b. & o. passenger

from Hermanville ampliied the work

Growing Tomatoes.

The middle Of May finds most of
the tomato plants in the garden. The
man who was wise enough to grow
his own plants In a hot bed will have
ripe fruit quite q long while before his
neighbor, who has to depend upon
half-dried. discouraged seedlings from
q department store.
Still. by insisting upon getting the
best plants you a buy, big sturdy
fellows, with lots Of leaves and roots
full OF water, you can do very we'll
with purchased tomato plants. Do
not secure them until you are all
ready to plant and get them In the
ground as soon as possible.
As usually handled. the amateur
gardener gets q double crop of foliage
and q half crop of ripe tomatoes. The
fruit splits, rots at the ends and q
large part Of It falls to color up and
ripen before frost catches it.
The purpose Of this article Is to tell
how to avoid these troubles and Sc
cure twice as much ripe, sound fruit
with no more trouble. 1t Is a simple
secret. but few seem to know it.
Tomatoes need a rich, deep, rather
heavy soil, we'll fortified. Muriate
of potash is an excellent fertilizer, az
is also steamed ground bone. Use a
handful to each pint.
Spade and cultivate as for garden
crop and drive in strong stakes about
five feet long, placing them two feet
BY four feet. Set n plant four inches
from the south side Of each stake,
covering the roots firmly and soaking
the soil with water after setting.
Allow only three branches to grow
on each plant, and tie them to the
stake with strips of cloth. When they
reach the top Of the stake, prune
them. back. II a smaller quantity of
the very finest and largest tomatoes
are preferred, allow but one main
stem to develop. Keep the branch
ends clipped as 500 as the plant has
attained good size, and all O. Its en-
ergy will then 80 into making toma-
toes. :
Now comes the secret! Where q
hide branch leaves the main stem Is q
Aprk in which the fruit develops. In
me place little shoots appear. Pinch
e these shoots as fast as they grow
ma you cannot fail to get magnificent
tomatoes. Do not plant one Of the
yres varieties, but select a smooth,
Stone, and many others Of their kind

MAKING an Asparagus Bed.

Hyou have a suitable patch Of ground
about IL feet long by 6 or 5 feet wide,
you can grow enough asparagus on 1t
to supply a large family during the
spring. This does not mean one or
two messes that cost so much they
taste like money, either. 1t means all
you want to eat Of one Of the most
delicious and healthful vegetables.
Plant a bed this year and you can cut
an excellent crop next spring. OF
course you could get some this year,
but 1t is safer to let 1t alone for .
year so that the plants may get q
good start.
Well drained, mellow, sandy loan is
best for asparagus. 1t must be warm,
rich and well drained. Heavy clay
will not do. II your soil is heavy,
your best plan will be to excavate
your bed to a depth of is inches and
fill In with loamy soil or q mixture Of
loan and sand.
Land that has been used for a gar
den is better than fresh soil. It must
be spaded as deep as possible, prefer
ably from IL to Is inches. Make the
soil fine, but not necessarily as fine
as a seed bed, except right around the
roots. Do this the latter part Of
April or the first OF May.
Next dig trenches or hills deep
enough to bring the crown Of the
plants eight inches below the surface
Of the ground. Have these rows IL
to Is inches apart and set the plants
IL inches apart in the rows. Cover
them with a few inches OF we'll packed
earth and then put on stable manure
until Just the tip Of the stalk Is visible.
Keep the patch hoed and fill the
trenches In as the plant grows until
the whole bed Ii level. Do not put
manure directly about the roots.

Chancellor Jones Makes Injunction Per
petual-Early Opinion Will Be
Sought From Higher Tribunal

Jaekson.-Chancellor d. z. Jones Of
the Fifth chancery court district trans
ferred his chambers from the courthouse
to the offices of the attorney-general for
the purpose of hearing arguments in
the latest injunction suit against : state
department. The case was that of J. E.
Pridgen against the department of edu.
cation, the attorney-general, auditor and
other administrative officers charged
with disbursement, to RESTRAIN the al
lowauee and payment of a sum specifi-
cslly stated at about 3 $1,000, for the pur-
pose of supplementing the school funds
of the county Of Jackson.
The legislature Of 1912 passed an act
which is chapter 5 Of the acts of that
year, appropriating $4,000 from which
the state board of education is authoriz-
ed to supplement the funds of any coun.
ty in the state where the county funds
are not sufficient to permit q fous.

SINCE the enactment of the statute
some doubt has arisen ~ to its consti.
nationality and the state officers charged
with enforcement of its provisions de-
cided to get q thorough legal test. There
fore, ]. E. Pridgen, a well known citi-
zen of jackson, allowed his name to be
used as the complainant and the i~njunc-
ton bill was filed.
The constitutionality was argued by
Assistant Attorney-General Johnston, as
ISOLATED with his colleague, Hon. Geo. H.
Ethridge. Their arguments were clearly
and ably answered by James Money
Vardaman, representing the contestants.
After carefully hearing both sides and
briefly reviewing the close consti. ltional
questions involved in the controversy
Chancellor Jones delivered an oral de-
cree sustaining the application and max
ing the injunction perpetual. When tha
decree is reduced to writing and the
record before the chancellor is made up
the case will be carried Immediately to
the supreme court by the attorney-gen.
eral and an early ruling by that triA-
unal will be sought. It is believed by
the department Of education that ths
supreme court will sustain the law which
grew out of the absolute necessities be.

terms to at least four months in all

Of health, DR.. HUMPHREYS, b~acteriologists,
and Dr.. Watkins, statistieian, continue
70 be thoroughly occupied in taking
care of the work intrusted to them.
As to the former, some idea may be
had of The volume of work which passes
through the laboratory by the number
of special examinations recorded during
the month of February. According to
his records, DR.. HUMPHREYS has made
1908 meteorological examinations, COW
ering every conceivable specimen sub
ject to analysis, and rom all portions
Of the state. The investigations have
covered water, milk, butter, blood from
all sorts, sexes and ages of the human
family, and other matter sent by health
officers, sanitary inspectors, physicians
in private, hospital officials, animal or
gans and divers and sundry other sub
stances. DR.. Humphreys remains in
his laboratory from early forenoon until
late hour of the night, leaving his Of
flee building geneally long after other
occupants have retired to their homes
and beds.
The testimony of medical men and
Others who have proited by the in
vestigations is that this state labora-
tory is ore of the best investments for
the whole people that a Mississippi leg
islature has ever made, and the general
impression is that it will be retained as
an indispensable branch of human ac-
tivity in the state. Judging from the
start for March, it is probable the record
for February will be considerably over
topped.
DR.. Watkins, in charge of the ~statisti-
cal bureau, has recently been absent on
q visit TO Iowa and other western states
making investigatiins which he feels
sure will result in beneficial effects for
the work in this state.
It is probable that a meeting of the
board will be called for some time in
April.
