LEGISLATURE TO
MEET NEXT WEEK
MANY BILLS OF IMPORTANCE
ARE SCHEDULED FOR
The ASSEMBLY.

On next Wednesday, June %, the
general assembly Ct Georgia will con
yene in the state capitol for its 1916
session OF the usual 80 legislative days
the latter being fixed by the contitu.
tion as the maximum length of a
regular session. Owing to the fact
that practically all business in the
house was blocked last year at the
regular session By the fight involving
the new prohibition laws. there is a
very large accumulation of bills to
be disposed of under the head of I'M
finished business.
Among these bills of general state
wide interest and Importance are the
bills creating highway commission,
creating the office Of state auditor, pro-
viding for gree text books in the
schools, establishing a state cotton
exchange warehouse system, exempt
ing college endowments from taxation,
allowing women to practice law, allow
ing women to vote requiring compul-
sorry education, and providing for a
state constitution convention.
One of the most important matters
that will confront the Legislature is
the urgent necessity for recognizing
the state sanitarium for the insane at
Milledgeville.
This institution, which is primarily
intended for the treatment of persons
who have lost their mind, is very
much over-crowded by epileptics, par
alytics and other unfortunates who
are deserving of great sympathy, but
are not insane. and whose presence
at the sanitarium reduces the capaci-
ty of that institution for performing
its primary function.
The sanitarium is also greatly over
crowded. and several new buildings
must be erected in order to provide
the right sort Of treatment for the
inmates.
The senate's unfinished business IS
much smaller in volume than that of
the house by reason of tResfact that
the enate made an exceptionally good
record at the regular session last year
in the matter Of prompt transaction OF
the bills and resolutions introduced.

MORE HELPFUL
FOR FARMERS
SOUTHERN TO REOReANIZE ITS
SERVICE OF AGRICUL-
TURE.

With a view to making the agricul
tural service OF the Southern Railway
company and its associated companies
more helpful to the farmers OF the
south. President Harrison has made
a complete reorganization of the ser
vice to 20 into effect on July l.
With the extension of the farm
demonstration work of the United
States department of agriculture and
OF the states and the appointment OF
demonstration agents in most of the
counties traversed by the liaes of the
companies, there is not the broad
field for railroad agricultural demon
stration work that existed when this
service was inaugurated by the South
ern Railway company in 1910, when
there were very few government
agents in the field. There is now, how
ever. broad field for helpful work
in connection with the marketing OF
the products of Southern farms, es-
pecially in localities in which farmers
without experience in selling anything
but cotton are gong into diversified
farming and especially in aiding small
producers to consolidate their prod
ucts and market comparatively.
