and the confidence shown when
you elected me your State Audi

democratic custom to give a man
a second term when he has pre-
ven worthy and competent; | am
asking this of you now and an
endorsement of what you did in
1907. My accounts and the

perience to discharge its duties
in a business way.
If you believe in the old demo-

it. l have held the Office only
one term. Again thanking you,

Miss Edens used the soft hued
crepe myrtle mingled with soft
and feathery ferns in the lavish
decorations which were in evil
dence as soon as one crossed
the threshold of her beautiful
home.
The mantels were banked in
both parlor and library giving
an air of added elegance. The
dining room was a bower of
beauty with the table as the
principle attraction. The CEN
terpeice was a lovely crystal
vase filled with the pink bios

corners of the table to the
chandelier was twined tulle in a
corresponding tone, the soft
lights shining over all.
Cake and brick cream in pink

evening by the hostess assisted
by Miss Frances Chandler.
Conversation both pleasant
and lively was enjoyed by all

Dear Sir:
We are making plant disease
survey of the state so as to get
more information about the dis
eases which occur in Mississippi,
We wish to know accurately and
thoroughly what diseases are
present, their dirtribution, and
economic Importance. Plan t
diseases are becoming more and
more common and destructive
each year, and we want to get in
better position to help the grow
ers in combating them.
In order to make this survey
accurately and thoroughly we
must have the help of the farm
ers, and it is with this idea in
mind that am writing you. |
want to get you so interested
that you will send me specimens
of any unhealthy plants which
you may find, paying particular
attention to those in which you
may be specially interested. By
doing this you will help us to a
better knowledge of the condi-
tons in the state, and make it
possible for US to be of much
more service in answering in
quiries about plant diseases.
| am enclosing some franked
tags and envelopes with which
you can send diseased plant
specimens postage free. Wrap
the specimens up securely, and
tie a tag to the package on
which you have written your
name and address, then drop in
the mail. | will be glad to write
you fully regarding the disease,
or diseases, which | find upon
the specimens, telling you, when
possible, how to prevent or con-
troll them.s
Let US urge you to give this
matter your immediate attention
and careful consideration, and.
respond by sending specimens of
any economic plants which you
find diseased. Hoping to hear
from you real soon, and thank
ing you for your interest, am,
Yours truly,
]. M. Beal.
Botanist and Plathologist.
The above letter has been sent
out to many farmers in the State
with the tags enclosed. This is
a very important matter and all
should take advantage of the
opportunities offered. Letevery
farmer send in specimens of ali
diseased plants. So that our A.
& M. College may know what
plant diseases are present in the
State and to what extent the,
are prevalent.
