LEGISLATORS PLEDGE THEMSELVES TO MAKE A
BIGGER AND BETTER A. 8 N, COLLEGE HERE
Visit Of Legislative Committee

The movement to have certain leg
islative committees visit the A. & M.
College originated from worthy mo-
tives and the ready response fnan-
cially and otherwise on the part of
the citizens Of the campus, Starkville,
Oktibbeha County, and the student
body indicated a commendable spirit
of loyalty to the interests of the Col
lege and to the cause of education
generally.
From the time the visitors arrived
at the station, Thursday evening, un-
til they boarded the special" Friday
afternoon, they were reminded con-
stantly that they were among warm
friends of the College and strong op-
ponents Of any program that has for
its purpose the moving or otherwise
interfering with the splendid work
accomplished by our educational sys-
tenn or that would attempt to break
with the sacred traditions interviewer
with their history and progress. Those
who witnessed the generous spirit
manifested by every citizen of the
community need no further evidence
to prove that Starkville and Oktibbe-
ma County appreciate the College to
the fullest, and that they are behind
any reasonable program for its fu-
ture development and growth.
Words of welcome by the citizens
of the community, the history and
work of the College presented by the
faculty, responses and congratula-
tions by the visitors, all indicated a
common interest and inspired new
hopes for the future and made brigh-
ter the ideals of those who have sac
rificed their lives for this great in
stitution.
The visit of these committees was

In the above it will be noted that
larger percentage Of the total pop
ulation attend college in those states
where the university and agricultural
college are separate institutions. At
tention isncalled to the, fact. that the
newly elected governor and legisla-
ture of the State of Louisiana are
pledged to an expenditure of $3,OOO,-
900 for building a new agricultural
college separate! from the university.
The proposed 6 consolidation bill
proposes to make, a great university
by taking parts of each of the three
colleges and moving them to Jack
son. This would require-not only the
expense Of; building and equipping
a new plant but will call for the sup
port and upkeep of four colleges in
stead Of three as at present. If the
Legislature will provide adequate

support and equipment for the three
colleges in the State, they can easily
care for the thousands of boys and
girls in the state who come annually
from the high schools, and provide
graduate schools, fine arts schools,
and such other schools as will be
needed to meet the demands for such
courses. 1t must be noted in this
connection that a very small number
of our graduates, in Mississippi con-
tinue their studies in the graduate
schools; so it would be a waste of
funds to equip a separate graduate
school and employ a faculty quail
fled to do the work until there should
arise a greater demand for graduate
schools. The most economical plan
would be to allow the graduate cour-
ses to grow up in the colleges we have
as the demand shows up.

COOPERATIVE
JERSEY ASS0.
IS ORGANIZED

The Oktibbeha County Co-opera-
tive Jersey Association No. 1, was or
ganized at the courthouse, Wednes-
day, the officers of the Association
are:
G. B. Kimball, president; w. w.
Phillips, vice-president; T. M. Mont
gomery, secretary and treasurer.
Other members of the Association
are: Walt Sykes, j. c.. Klein, w. B.
CASTOR.
The Association has written for
prices on bulls and will put the or
ganization on working basis in a
few days. The Merchants and Farm
ers Bank is assisting the Association
in financing the project.
About twenty-five or thirty dairy
men of the county met at the court
house Saturday afternoon and listen
ed to a good, common sense talk on
farming conditions by Prof. E. R..
Lloyd, of Memphis. DR.. Lloyd told
the farmers of the necessity and the
economy of raising pure-bred stock
for dairy purposes, and said that the
conditions in the cotton sections were
such that the farmers of this section
had better plant all the feed crop he
possibly can. He did not expect farm
labor to be any cheaper, or lower
price for farm products. DR.. Lloyd
laid great stress upon the farmer
consulting with his county demon
stration agent, upon all questions of
farming.
After DR.. Lloyd's address the ques-
tion of forming County Bull Asso-
citation was taken up, and while those
present were enthusiastic over the
project, final action was deferred for
a few days.
According to the constitution and
bylaws read before the meeting the
Association is for. the purpose of
bringing about rapid development of
productive milk cows of good confor-
nation, principally by the joint pur-
chase, ownership, use, exchange and
sale of meritorious pure bred bulls,
and through the purchase and sale of
cows and heifers.
The Association pledges itself to
exert every possible influence for the
Improvement and furtherance of the
live stock industry of the community.
Any farmer in the county of Ok
tibbeha or adjoining territory owning
one or more cows may at time of or
ganization become a member of the
Association and be entitled to it's
benefits and privileges.
The term "block" in the constitu-
tion means subdivision of the con-
stitution for the convenient grouping
of members owning the required
number of cows. So those in each
block may during the same period of
time make use of one of the bulls of
the Association.
The Association will be divided in
to three or more blocks. Each block
will be provided with one high-class
pure-bred bull Of the Jersey breed.
The majority of his immediate an
cestors shall have butter-fat records
equivalent to at least 400 pounds per
year.
A bull will be kept two years in "a
block, and then moved to the next
block.
The officers of the Association will
be a president, vice-president, and a
secretary-treasurer, and a board of

The visit from the gentlemen from
all over the state who compose the
committees is calculated to produce
great good in more ways than one.
This trip will, in the first place, in
dicate to great many of them the
mighty equipment and the valuable
work of the institution in it's present
location. The inspection will argue
strongly, it seems probable, against
any consolidation or dismantling pro-
cess which would limit the future of
the College. The trip will also open
the eyes of those in authority to the
great need of the institution if she is
to continue to grow. 1t is believed,
moreover, that the coming of this
body will help link the town and the
college in closer ties for certainly
these two communities showed an i'm
pressive unity of spirit in the face Of
what was interpreted as a kind of
menace to both. The trip of the leg
islators was a further pleasure to all
of us, for we realized that these gen.
tlemen are sincerely Interested in the
welfare of the institutions with whose
future destinies they have much to
do. t.
The actual program of entertain
ment, as recorded in last weeks News
began with banquet on Thursday,
night, in the new mess hall. APP
proximately ITS were present, includ-
ing the delegation from Jackson and
an almost equal number of town and
campus citizens. The menu prepared
under the supervision of a committee

ADOPTED BY
COMMITTEE PRAISE THE
CITY, COUNTY AND THE
A. 8 NJ. COLLEGE.

The committees of the Mississippi
Legislature entertained jointly by the
College and the town of Starkville,
with the cordial assistance of all Ok
tibbeha County, seemed strongly i'm
pressed with the service of the Col
lege in it's present location and indi-
Gated that its best opportunity for
growing into still larger service is
by remaining here in the gentle hills
of Oktibbeha.
The resolutions introduced by Rep
resentative Trammell of Kemper will
be pleasing to the County for their
gracious words of appreciation and
will be most interesting because they
express this conviction that the Col
lege is now located where it can do
its best work. The resolutions are
as follows:
Be it resolved by the members of
the Legislature of the number, who
by special invitation visited Stark
vile and the A. & M. College that we
return our sincerest appreciation and
gratitude to the president, the facul-
ty, the student body, and all auxil-
iaries of the institution, and to the
good people of Starkville and of Ok
tibbeha County for their personal
kindness, hospitality, and most boun-
tiful entertainment while we have
been in the city and at the A. & M.
College;
That we will long remember their
fullest efforts for our pleasure and
entertainment while in their midst !;
That we have with one accord a
full determination to make a greater
A. & M. College with all necessary
equipment; and
That she shall stand on the same
ground for the next century.
The resolutions passed, it is inter-
esting to note, without dissenting
voice.

HIGHWAYS BILL
 TOCONE BEFORE SENATE SHORTLY

~ASHINCTON, D. C.-Now that the peace treaty is out of the way, so far as ihe senate is concerned, congress is expected to rapidly dispose of ether measures which have been held in check since last May
 One Of these measures is the national hlghway act, which provides fer the creation of a federal highway conmis- sioa to take over from the depa rtme1lt Of agriculture the highway work now being conducted as a branch of that department The creation of new de- partment to administer highway affairs oI the united States is necessary, it is claimed, because of the growing de- nand for increased transportation fa- ciiliieS- The movement to satisfy this demand. as expressed in the proposed national highway act, has been en- dofsed widely by civic and commercial organizations throughout the country.
 AS congress approaches definite acz uon upon the measure now iG the hands or the senate committee on postoffices and post roads. few highway officials and others in some states are cypress ing. opposition on the ground that the act proposes to take over all highway work as federal function, and that federal aid as now operating will be Jeopardized. It is reported that in some instances efforts are being made to create the impression that even state
  mated.
 To combat these urfounded state 1 ments, Senator Townsend. author of | the proposed measure. and chairman of | the senate committee on postoffices l and post roads, calls public attention to the fact that the national highway act | does not propose to supersede the fed | cral aid plan, but on the other hand it ! seeks to extend that plan and 90 even farther in helping states work out their highway problems by taking over as a federal burden the construction and | maintenance of such routes in each 1 state may be designated as links in n national system The percentage of h national system within each state will approximate, it is estimated, about one per cent of the state mileage, so that the claim that the work Of state highway departments will be en- teroached upon and iaterfered with, falls to the ground.

To achieve this result packers of comprehensive highway work are insistent in their position that it will be necessary to take the bureau of public roads out of department where it is one of sixteen bureaus, and owing to the importance and responsi- biiity of this bureau in spending mill lions of dollars, place it in a separate body whose sole duty will be the full development of the public highway as one of the nations greatest assets
