THE STANDARD A SUCCESS.

The success of the SOUTHERN
STANDARD as local agricultural news
paper in its own and adjoining counties
during the last eighteen months, has
encouraged its publishers to incur the
additional expense of purchasing new
power press and outfit with view of
extending its circulation and influence
to every county in the State. To do this
itspublishers propose to issue, in addition
to its present local edition, a general
edition for circulation among the far
mers of every county. The very great
favor with which the STANDARD has
been received at home, and the good
opinions expressed by many of our
most intelligent and practical farmers,
induce the publishers to believe that
the paper will meet with favor and
success wherever it goes.
We recognize the fact that a paper
to be successful must not only have
merit and worth, but must be published
at a price within the reach of all.
When we consider that the STANDARD
is weekly quarto of 40 columns, well
printed on good paper, in clear, easy
type, and well filled with choice agri-
cultural matter, it is certainly well
worth the subscription price. 1t is
plain country paper, intended more for
usefulness than for show, and goes
forth candidate for patronage, prom.
ising to do all the good possible and as
little harm. Send us dollar and take
the STANDARD for year. If dissatis-
fed at the end of two months with the
investment, so advise us and we will
return your money.
If we expect the people to support
our paper, the paper must support the
people. ... t.t,..

THE FARMERS MEETING.


On next Tuesday, Sept. 18th at 10
a. M, the farmers of Middle, East and
West Tennessee will convene at the
Capitol for the purpose Of perfecting
a more thorough organization, and the
discussion of such questions as are of
the greatest Importance to agricultural
interests of the whole state. 1t is
greately desired that every county in
the state be well represented at that
meeting, and that great good may re-
suit from this coming together Of
farmers from all parts Of the state.
Every farmer in the state is entitled
to a seat in that convention, if present,
and it is hoped that as many as can
will be there. There is great need Of
an agricultural revival in Tennessee,
and we do hope the meeting at Nash
vile may prove success and accom-
plish great good for the agricultural
interest of the whole state.

FARM LABOR IN TENNESSEE.

The question of farm labor in Ten
nessee is becoming matter of no small
Importance to many farmers. The
Southern States have mainly depended
upon colored labor for farm work, es-
pecially in the cotton states. From OBJ
servation and some experience, we be-
lieve colored labor both in and out of
the field is becoming less efficient every
year. Unless there is change for the
better, some other system or class Of
laborers will be required in the South.
Since the southern people have CIV
en- up the idea that cotton is king, and
have begun to diversity their crops,
they find great need of more competent
and reliable labor. II truck farming
and fruit culture should continue to be
profitable, as we believe they will, we
must look to some other class than the
cOlored people for efficient labor. We
are in sympathy with the colored pee
pie. They are among US, and a part

IMPORTANCE OF AGRICULTURE.

Agriculture is becoming more and
more important, not only to agricul-
turalists themselves, but to every other
occupation and business of Importance
in life. 1t is the basis, the foundation,
the ground work, which supports all
other business and pursuits. While all
admit its importance, it is perhaps
more neglected in and out of legislative
bodies than any other industry. The
mechanic, the manufacturer, miner,
merchant, lawyer, doctor, teacher,
statesman, banker, railroads, and all
other business and industries from the
highest to the lowest, are supported by
and wholly dependant upon the produce
ton Of the soil for existence, still agri-
culture is neglected and does not re.
ceive that attention and consideration
to which it is justly entitled. Show us
a country ora people whose Agricul.
tural interests are protected, encour-
aged and prosperous, and we will show
you one in which its citizens are pros.
porous and happy, Make the farmer
prosperous and you make the merchant
and every other business more or less
en- .ts.

of us, but unless they as class, be-
come more efficient and reliable we can
not depend on them for farm and
household labor. In California and
some parts of the South Swiss and
German laborers are being introduced.
Astruck farmers and fruitgrowers, there
are none better than Swiss and Ger
mans. They are economical, industri-
GUS and honest Tennessee has a large
area of fine fruit growing and truck
farming lands, lying idle for want of eff
ficient labor. The cultivation of these
lands would prove profitable to both
landlords and tenants. But the ques-
ton is, how are we to procure Swiss
and German laborers? Many of them
come annuallyIto America, but nearly
all 60 West or stop East. They might
be induced to come South if sufficient
effort was made. There are probably
many thousands who would like to immi-
crate but lack the means to bring them
here. Tennessee, has heretofore made
but little effort to induce immigration.
We are glad to know that our present
efficient Commissioner of Agriculture,
Mining and Immigration is doing all
he can in that direction with the limit
ed means at his command. Commits
sioner McWhirter should be provided
with means to offer inducements to
bring them to Tennessee. California
has special agents in Germany and
Switzerland with money to pay the
way of immigrants to that State. They
make contracts with immigrants and
furnish them with money to be worked
out after they arrive in California.
Tennessee might do the same and thus
procuce an industrious, energetic, val
liable population. Through Commits
sioner McWhirter associations might
be formed and money advanced to
bring them to Tennessee. No doubt
many farmers in Tennessee would be
willing to advance sufficient sum on
contracts to pay the passport of immi-
grants to this State, to be returned in
labor after their arrival. This is at
least a question of importance and well
worth the consideration of the Tennes,

the finest timber and water power at
hand. He said Notwithstanding we
have the finest timber, we buy every
thing from a clothes-pin to a piano.
He contrasted the industries Of the
State Of New Hampshire with those of
Tennessee. He said we had two mex
haustible resources requisite for manu-
facturing--water power and effective
labor-the former was perpetual, while
a new crop of laborers come on every
year.
After Mr.. Faulkner closed his re-
marks, reports of committees were
called for. The Committee on Stats
tics made full and comprehensive re-
port, which we intended to publish, but
find we will have to omit for the pres
ent for want of space. The Com.
mittee on the State of Agriculture
made an interesting report. These two
were the only committees that made
written reports, both Of which were re-
ceived and adopted. The Chairman
of the Committee on public roads was
absent and no report was made. Col.
j. H. French, Chairman of Committee
on Improvement, Condition and Dis
eases of Domestic Animals, made a
verbal report, supplemented with a
speech at length upon the improvement
and condition of domestic animals.
Col. French was listened to with inter-
est while discussing the subject. At
the close of his remarks the Association
adjourned to meet on Monday, Oct.
LIST, at which time it is hoped there
will be full meeting.

HOW TO IMPROVE STOCK AT
SMALL EXPENSE.

As general thing Tennessee is de-
fcient in fine stock. Some counties,
such as Maury, Davidson, Sumner, and
perhaps Others, are noted for fine, we'll
bred stock, but large majority of the
counties are greatly deficient even in
the best grades.
Since it costs no more to feed thor
ough-bred than scrub, and the differ
ence in value is largely in the formers
favor, we should make an effort by
judicious crossing to bring up our
scrub or common stock to a fine grade.
To do this we must introduce thorough
bred males. This may be done at small
cost to the farmer by clubbing. The
State is composed of counties, these
counties are divided into districts, and
again into neighborhoods. Each dis
trict or neighborhood might club to-
gether and buy few well-bred horses,
cattle, hogs, sheep, and such other ami
mails as might be wanted. In this way
a whole neighborhood, by uniting,
might get the use and benefit If few
fine animals at a very small expense.
This can be done with the horse, and
such other animals as may be desired.
Let the farmers form clubs and organize
themselves in such way as to have CO.
operation in these things. When or
gained let them thoroughly post them
selves, by reading the agricultural pa
pers and visiting the stock farms of
those who have fine stock, and thus
determine what breeds they prefer.
BY organization and cooperation we
could not only improve our stock at
small expense, bit we could dispose Of
our surplus and &her farm products to
much better advantage ~ '3aiHa ai
After an animsl has been kept long
enough in neiglborhOod it could be
sold or exchanged with some other
neighborhood. These suggestions are
intended mainly for such farmers as do
not feel able to iIcur the expense alone
of purchasing Il oroughbreds. Stock
raising may be made very profitable in
Tennessee. Gin te, water and soil
are all favorableI While much may
depend upon the breeds, even more de-.
ponds upon good care and treatment.
The finest blood will fail to show itself
to much advantage unless well fed and
properly cared fol- Care should be
taken not to overlook. A few WELL
fed animals will b found more profta-
bic than many polly fed and neglected.
Plenty of rich, sweet, juicy grass must
be provided for fed, both summer and
winter, so as to plsh them from the
time they are dropped until ready for
market. If we gpw stock successfully
we must grow graF ;. Let us try it.

meeting adjourned to one o'clock to
give committees time to complete their
reports. At the appointed time the
meeting was called to order by the
chairman, who made some very peril
nent remarks, explaining the objects Of
the meeting, and urging the Importance
of a thorough organization of district
clubs. After the chairman closed his
remarks Hon. Asa Faulkner was called
for, who responded in good, sound,
practical, common-sense talk of some
length, in which he SAID many good
things. He said he was not farmer,
but was so closely identified with them
that he was equally interested in their
welfare and prosperity. He was of
opinion that farmers should grow less
grain and more grass. Under the old
system of farming, he said, the value
of farm property in the State was
500, 100000 less than it was in 1870,
while the population had increased 22t
per cent, He referred to the unwise
policy of buying all our farming imple-
ments from other States, when we had
