PRICE OF FIELD PEAS

RIn response to maay inquiries
regard to the sale of field peas
3W F. Mckay, of the market Ex-
Etension Department of the Miss
d issippi A. & M. College, suggests
to farmers and country buyers
pet to offer their peas at too low
N ses. but hold them off the mar
d b ia few weeks until dealers
fwho have stocks on hand begin
TO sell out.
According to Mr.. Mckay the
3ull market is due to the flood
the Mississippi valley as that
gsection uses the largest amount
"a of peas, and the uncertainty Of
" overflow has stopped the market
h The crop is not as large as it was
y last year and indications are
that there will be no surplus.
Better prices are expected by
G April or May, though not so high
as the prices that prevailed two
. years ago.
This marketing specialist re-
II ports that the large dealers in
New Orleans, Natchez, Vicks.
burg and Memphis, hold this
view of the market also, and not
making any offers or buying at
1nepresent. Their stocks are not
$50 large as at this time last year.
indicating that there will be a

soon as the danger of overflow is
past.

SAND CLAY ROADS.
II JH Dessg.' IAN OFTHE ENGINEERING

A famous geologist, comment
ing on Mississippi's mineral re-
sources, said that the sand depos.
ITS were her richest heritage,
Clay is more plentiful than sand
pwever, and the supply of these
nmon materials so far exceeds
demand that we do not fully
5preciate the value of either.
THE most extensive field of USE
fnlness for sand and clay il
doubtless in road building.
1t is a well known fact that
wet sand or dry clay will support
traffic with satisfaction, but nc
meaner roads are to be found
Sthan those in dry sand or wet
lclay. Parallel roads of sand and
OF clay are at once suggested
one for wet seasons, the other
Aone for dry seasons, but it is bet
&ter to combine the two materials
! into a sand clay road good at all
gseasons.
Many failures have resulted
from theiimproper use Of sand
and clay in road building. One

oi the Protestant Episcopal Church to
b he'd in ~. Louis. They have been
under consideration for years in va
l.ious phases, and this year definite ac-
tisn is likely t. hc taken concerning
them
One Of these Which VII, receive the
special consideration Of the conven-
1iol will be the revision and enrich
Inent OF the Prayer Book. something
in this direction was done years ago
under the leadership Of the Rev. DR..
Huntington. and the consensus OF
that 1t bc done more thoroughly. This
year u commission will make it's re-
port as 10 what changes should be
made In the Liturgy.
The tendency IA AL Christian
churches Is toward litureical worship.
1t has long been felt 10y the Episcopal
Church that In ordc. t. meet new
ettgenclos morc elasticity and ncXi-
b!lity should bc given t. the liturgy.
1t Is proposed - make the Ten Com
oaandmenis. for instance. simple cate
gsrcial imperatiycs, az they were origi-
nally. without giving the specific rea-
sons for their observance. AS given
In the Scriptures the Commandments
nj. l,.. ,,.f,
which Moses added to them. some Of
which were derived from the customs
OF the Jews or had applied TO condi-
tions then existing which have IN tho
course Of time disappeared and are
not AT present applicable.
IT is commanded that We should re-
member the sabbath Day and keep II
holy. Il is proposed in the liturgy
however, to omit the statement that in
slS days God made heaven and earth
and rested on the seventh day.
Again. although the Commandment,
rSods that We arc to honor our fathers
and mothers. the statement that by
doing so our days may bc made long In
the land Is omitted. according TO the
views OF the commission. It does no;
necessarily follow ,ha, ones days viii

views on this subject have been freely
expressed for the last twelve years.
Marriage Is u relationship indis-
soluble except L.. death. the church
( cannot logically take any other view
as long a. the marriage service reads
until death do US part" The church
cannot sanction tandem polygamy. II
is true there may DC cases where the

There Is probably no law which
does not occasionally rest heavily upon
some individual, and yet the good OF

NJ the church. that the canon against
the marriage Of divorced persons
passed the House Of bishops but failed
in the House Of Deputies. Since that
action | believe that the friends Of the
measure have greatly increased.
Marriage has always been held by
the church to he sacramental in char

sacrament in the sense that baptism
ana the Lords supper are. and yet 1t
carries with it the sacramentai bless
