fering with the other members of
the medical STAFF in the discharge Of
their duties and that the members Of
this board hereby place upon record
their condemnation of her continual
ly having Mr.. Cooper in the institu-
ton In direct violation OF the wishes
of this board of regents.
'Rcsolved, 2nd. That this board do
find that DR.. Saunders has been con-
tinually interfering with the other
members Of the medical staff in tho
discharge Of their duties and in fact
preventing DR.. Blackburn from the
proper discharge OF his duties and
otherwise violating the proprieties of
the position which she holds.
Resolved, 3rd. That while this
board does not request at present the
resignation Of DR.. Saunders that the
same would be very acceptable to
them and that they think from the
friction that is evident in said in
stitution that it is her duty to resign
more to bring about peace and har-
mony in the institution and among
the employees thereof than any other
action they could conceive of.
ilaesGlved, 4th. That this board
desires to place itself upon record as
condcmning the action Of the super
fntendent, DR.. J. w. Babcocl, in up
holding DR.. Saunders in her defiance
OF the rules and wishes of this board.
This is to certify that this IS
true copy OF q resolution passed by
the board Of regents.
"J. w. Bunch, Sec"
These resolutions were passed one
month later:
Whereas, Mr.. o. l.. Saunders has
presented petition asking for a re-

whereas this matter has been thor
oughly investigated at previous
meeting as resolution adopted this day
shows and
Whereas, there are no charges
from any source or under investiga-
ton by this board as to the general
character Of the said Dr. Saunders,
or as to her ability to perform the
duties of the Office she Is holding.
BE 1t resolved, that this board Is
OF the opinion that it is for the best
interests Of the said institution and
for the best interests of this lady that
this entire matter be closed and the
same be dismissed.

puts itself on record as stating that
no charges whatever from any source
have been made to them or by them
or through them as to the moral
and personal standing of
DR.. Saunders.
Resolved, further, that the pcti-

Columbia, January 49, Comptroller
General Jones in his annual report to
the General Assembly gives an inter
esting resume OF the pensions which
the State pays to Confederate Vetcr-
ans and widows of Veterans. The re-
port is Of especial interest to the en-
tire State. In that part Of the report
dealing with pensions the comptroller
general says
There has been decrease in the
roll as compared with the year 1912,
Of lS7. The total amount paid pen
sioncrs in 1913 was $253,O7095. The
appropriation was $250,O0O.O0, and the
additional $3,07095 paid out came from
refunds by clerks of Court Of pension
moneys on account OF deathes and 9th
or causes.
The clerks Of Court have responded
very creditably to the careful check
ing of their accounts for the year 1913
| required by this Office and the result
is evidenced by the large amount OF
refunds OH account of 1912 and 1913,
which amounted to $t2,542.62
Generally u Separate Office.
AS will be seen from the statement
below, the expenses Of the pension de-
partment, county pension commission
ers, county and State boards, salary Of
clerk, printing blanks, stationery and
stamps amounted to $3,577.59 in 1913.
IN most States the pension department
is separate office and we doubt if
any one Of them is conducted on the
economical basis as Is done in this
State, thus leaving the largest amount
possible to be distributed among the
needy soldiers and widows. However,
the two lower classes. CO and ca, are
only receiving $22.10, a sum totally
inadequate to relieve their wants. 1t
is to be hoped that the financial con-
dition Of the State will so improve
that before many years they can re-
ceive their full quota, $36.0O apiece,
as contemplated by the Pension Law.
"The law is working satisfactorily
and 1t Is matter Of pride to note
that our pension report is the only
one in a number Of Southern States
which gives the individual record OF
each soldier. The roll Is one of hon
or, and will be priced by coming gem
erations.

White and colored Farmers.
With respect to the comparison be.

widN differences also appear. For the
entire United States, 49.6 per cent Of
white farmers reported that they had
been on their farms less than five
years, while 64.5 per cent OF all col
ored farmers made the same report.
In the cases OF farmers showing occu.
pancy for five years and over. the
opposite is the case. In the South %
per cent OF all white farmers and 20
per cent OF all colored farmers we're
reported as having been on their
farms less than one year, and 11.5 per
cent OF all white farmers as com.
pared with 1871 per cent OF all colored
farmers had been there only one year.
However, considerably larger num-
Der OF white farmers than OF colored

DO AMERICAN FARMERS
MOVE TOO FREQUENTLY?

Washington, May lido farmers
in the United States move from farm
10 farm. from home TO home, as much
as city people? II they move every
few years, are they efficient farmers
and can they know their farms as they
should? Would constant change mean
low yields OF crops. and little interest
IN the community? These are some
OF the questions affecting rural COM
munities that are coming TO the fore
ground. and for the first time partial
answer or, be given with authority.
During the agricultural census oil
1910, the following question was sub
mitted 10 each farmer In the United
States for answer: How long have
you lived on this FARM" OF the g.
3G1,502 farm operators in the United
States. April Is. 1910. 5,7si,7Gs, or 81
per cent. answered the question salts
factorily. From the data obtained
from the answers TO this inquiry, a
bulletin will be issued soon by Diree.
tor William J. Harris Of the Bureau
OF the Census, Department Of Com
merce. II was prepared under the
supervision OF John Lee Coulter. ex.
pert special agent in charge OF agri-
culture.
The statistics In this bulletin will
show the length OF the periods OF oc.
cupancy OF farms In the United States
by States, geographic divisions and
sections, for different periods Of time
ranging from less than one year to
ten gears and over. and these data
are further classified according TO the
character OF the tenure and OF the
color OF the farm operators. The
statistics are given for 1910 only, as
no corresponding data have been col
1ected heretofore.
Period Of Occupancy.
One OF the most important facts to
be shown in this bulletin is that ap.
proximately 80 per cent of all the
farmers who answered the question
satisfactorily had occupied their
farms less than FIVE years. This per.
centage applies to all farmers, white
and colored, whose answers we're re-
corded, and for the entirfe United
States. This short period OF occu.
pancy for over half OF all the farmers
in this country becomes all the more
significant when II is taken into con-
sideration that II requires three or
four years for a farmer to become
acquainted with the various condi-
tons on his farm, such as soil, eli
mate, etc, and put 1t in good condi-
ton for raising crops.
Another important fact to be
brought out in this bulletin is that

FOR BETTER LIVE

County Organizations Aiding In Tick
Eradication.

Washington. May i9.--The eradica.
ton OF the cattle tick In the greater
portion OF the State OF Mississippi has
been accompanied or followed by the
formation OF number Of county live
stock associations. Inspectors attach.
ed TO the United States Department
OF Agriculture have assisted in or.
ganizIng twenty,of these associations
for improving the cattle industry.
An example Of their work II afford
ed by a report OF the activities OF the
Adams County Association, which was
organized at Natchez In 1912. Since
the county was cleared OF ticks and
the way opened for importations. the
following purebred cattle have been
hrouRht in,

proved methods OF feeding were also
advocated at these meetings. District
associations we're organized In the
county and assisted In the purchase
OF registered bulls so that the small
farmers might have In rotation the
benefit OF their services. Altogether
eighty.three bulls and 2s0 cows were
introduced last year for breeding pur-
poses.
Reports from Tennessee and Ala.
bama indicate that the movement IL
gaining ground there also.

In Clay County an association was
organized In 1918. II has already i'm.
ported twenty purebred bulls and six.
teen purebred cows, and In March two
members OF the association were
commissioned to buy s3l 900 worth OF
pure stock In Missouri. This Is In line
with the recommendation OF the De.
partment OF Agriculture to purchase
purebred bulls comparatively for use
In the various districts OF the county.
Another very active live stock as.
sociation is that OF Madison County.
This was organized In March. 1912.
with a membership OF twenty, which
has since grown TO fifty. At first the
association devoted itself to the ex.
termination OF the tick. but as soon
as this was sufficiently far advanced
TO make the importation OF valuable
animals a sound business venture. a
vigorous campaign for the improve.
ment OF cattle was begun. Meetings
we're held throughout the county for
the purpose of famIliarizing the PEG.

eliminating the scrub stock entirely
or OF improving their herds by the

Effect on Crop Proouetlon'
The showing OF greater stability OF
occupancy by the farns.s in the
North as compared with the farmers
in the South and tie West Is more
significant when comparisons are
made OF the production OF farm crops.
Corn is grown extensively both in the
North and in the South and probably
teen bushels; in the East South Cen
trail States, nineteen bushels; and In
the West South Central States. six.
teen bushels. These figures seem TO
show that In those sections where
farmers generally have operated the
same farms for periods Of five years
and over, the yield OF corn is consid-
erably larger than in the sections
where the period OF occupancy is more
unstable. or for shorter periods OF
time.
Result OF Frequent Change.
This frequency OF moving from farm
to farm. or instability OF occupancy,
very likely forms one OF the chief
causes for the decline OF rural pros.
perity. or Is a hindrance to greater
progress. Frequency OF removal OF
farmers results In great shiftlessness;
the roads and bridges are generally
IN a poor condition because the farm.
ers, moving at frequent periods, are
not particularly interested In their
upkeep. Farm buildings of such farms
are not usually kept in good repair,
as the farmer who is about to move |
will leave the repairs for the next
tenant TO make. The same reasons
will apply for lack of interest by the |
