Teachers' Annual Meeting in April.
From reports coming in from the
attendance leaders from a'l parts
of the state, the officers of the
Siate Teachers' Association pre
dict that the annual meeting to be
held at Little Rock, April 16. 17
^and 18. will be the most largely at
tended meeting in the history of
the Assoc ation.
Every teacher should plan to at
tend this meeting. The inspiration
and professional uplift that come
from these meetings must mean
much to the teachers in their work.
An attendance of 2,500 teachers
has b»en set as the standard for
the April meeting. It will be a
matter of special interest to the
large number of rural teachers of
the state to know that the discus
sion ; at the general meetings will
have for their theme "Rural School
Improvement and Professional Ef
ficiency.
Seed for the farmer.
Not long since I ffered to fur
nish free one pound of alfalfa seed
to the farmers who would use the
seed for experimental purposes and
prepare the land and plant the seed
according to instructions. The re- :
sponses have been numerous.
More recently 1 announced that
I would distribute some prize-win- 1
ning seed corn. I have received
hundreds of requests for the seed
and they are still coming in. 1 an
nounced that through Senator
Clarke I had received 1,000 pack
ages of government cotton se^a
for distribution. 1 received 1.000
requests in three days. Several
hundred other requests havi come
since the seed were exhausted but
Senator Clark is maxing an effort
to get the D^partmen at Washing
t to se> d ' ut th ; s :mple pack
ages to all v.h it requests come
too late to be supplied out of the
1.000 packages that w^re availa
ble. Several hundred names are
being sent to Washington this week
with a request to send out the seed.
1 shall urge the Secretary of Agri
culture to send the seed. So will
Senator Clarke. We hope to get
them. If you have written and
failed to get your package of cotton
seed, do not be disappointed. It is
just because your request came too
late.
I hese requests lor sample pack
ages of good seed bring us a lesson.
It proves that the farmers are in
terested in good seed and good
farming, and it argues that the
C mmissioner of Agriculture could
render a mighty good sd^vice to
the farmers by obtaining good seed
for free distribution in small pack
ages. 1 hope you will ask the can
didates for this Legislature to make
an appropriation to enable me to do
this next year. The law author
izes it. but the Legislature made no
appropriation for such purpose.
The sesd produced at the expe
rimental station at Fayetteville
should be put up in small pack
ages and distributed to the farmers
of the state. The work is carried
o i by public funds, and the Legis
lature could well afford to have it
distributed among the farmers to
give them a start of good seed, in
stead of being used or disposed of
otherwise. 1 hope the next Legis
lature will require the corn, cotton
and grass seeds suitable for plant
ing that is produced at the Univer
sity at Fayetteville, to be distribu
ted free in limited quantities to the
farmers. It would be the surest
way of doing the greatest good for
the least money.
In giving instructions to the far
mers how *o prepare their land for
the one-pound sample of alfalfa
seed, I suggested the use of ground
lime stone. I am glad to announce
that I have made arrangements to
have 200 pounds furnished free to
e r-h farmer who agrees to make
the experiment. 1 am now nego
tiating with the railroads to get the
freight free, and I hope to do so. I
will also endeavor to furnish inocu
lated soil to go with the alfalfa
seed. *
If the distribution of this alfalfa
seed would result in only ten acres
increase in each county, it would
be worth frc.m thirty to sixty thou
sand dollars a year to the sfate. If
the distribution of good seed corn
wou'd in the end be the means of
adding just one grain to each ear
raised in the state, it wouid be
worth over $60,000 a year. One
boll of cotton added to each stalk
would be worth more than a million
dollars a year to the state. Venlv
these things, though small u.tn n
selves. will eventually prove worth
while.

Ilie South's M\aniement.
Richard H. Edmonds. editor cf
| the Manufacturers' Record, has
compiled the following facts which
show the marvelous development
of the South in the last thirty
years:
The sixteen Southern States
have a population of 33,000.000.
In 1880 tie United States had a
population of 50,000.000. At that
time, and very justly so. the United
States was regarded as one of the
gre test a^d richest nations of th?
world. The South of today, with
33.000 000 (.eople. is in m my re
spects very far ahead of the United
States of 1880. with 50,000.000.

$2uC.0Gu,uCu iii.ire n i. J vi-.luai
deposits in the banks and trust
companies of this section than the
people of the United States had in
similar institutions in 1830.
Tna South is mining almost ,;wice
as r rch coai as th Un tad Stat
then mired, it is prodocmg f.--ur
times as much pat-oleum, its out
put last year having been 100.
000.000 barrels, against 26.000.
000 barrels for the U iit d States
in 1880.
The South has $700.000 000
more capital invested in manufac
turing than the U 11..i Stutes had
in 1880. and the u: of its agri
cultural output aeds by some
hundreds of mil,ions of dollars the
total agricu.mral output of the
United States i i 1880.
The South has far mor” capita1
investee in cot:on manufacturing
than the United States then had,
and is consuming in its own mills
bout twice as much cotton as was
then consumed in the mills of the
1 country.
The va’ue of expo ts from South
ern ports is only a few million dol
lars less than the total export
trade of tne Uni ed States in 1830.
The So' th expended last year
upon the maintenance of its public
schools $90,000,000. or$12.0pO -
000 more than the United States
. with its 50 000.000 people expend
ed upon public education in 1880.
