the reclaiming of waste lands.
Let US make a special effort 10 impress
the minds OF the rising generation with
the Importance OF this question ana the
Importance of unity of effort in order 10
obtain results. Doubtless each OF US has
some influence outside the school room,
The profession is one that carries some
weight. Let us then be educators on
these particular lines on every possible
occasion, until every mar in u com
munIty, be lie railroad mar or rancher,
knows why Nevada is going backward
instead oil forward, and is willing to put
his shoulder TO the wheel to help change
the direction of her course. :.
Nevada has more money in her school
funds in proportion to her population
than any other State in the Union.
Hundreds of her young men and wonen
are being educated in her high schools
and University, and returned to their
homes to find no suitable fields in which
to exercise their talents or 10 use their
education. As a consequence many oil
them 90 to other States, and we are
every year losing the flower OF our
youth.
1t is time then that all thinking men
and women who have the welfare OF
Nevada at heart, should exert themselves
in this great cause. 1t is civilization
that pleads for progress. 1t is humanity
that cries aloud for more 0 in which
to build it's habitations. To say that the
national valuation will be enhanced by
untold millions is merely to mention a
sordid fact. But to say that the valu-
less desert will blossom with the homes
OF men and that these homes will rest
upon solid and industrial systems better
and purer than any the past has known,
and the future population will be ruled
under a nobler code of ethics. These
are considerations that cannot appeal in
vain to the American spirit.

An Educational Move.

The Seaboard Air Line, one of the
great railroads of Georgia, has adopt
ed an excellent and novel educational
campaign among the farmers along
the line of it's road. The railroad con-
tends that prosperity to the farmers
means increased business for the rail
roads. The increase of prosperity,
the road claims, depends upon the in
crease of products and the exercise of
the strictest domestic economy. It is
attempting to demonstrate that the
farmers can never be prosperous as
long as they continue to buy can
goods, meats and other supplies in the
north, that could be as we'll produced
at home.
The railroad in question has equip
ped and is now running what is
known as the Industrial and Educa-
tional train. This train is accompan-
led by corps of practical instructors
and is equipped with the most i'm
proved farm machinery and nipple
ments. The purpose is to impress up
on the Georgia farmers the impor-
lance of saving the small things they
have at their hands, and to stop if pos
sible the current of money that COZ
stantly flows northwards for hay,
grain, meats, canned fruits, vegeta-
bles, etc.
One exhibit that the car contains
is forty dollar collection of canned
fruits and vegetables from the north,
which were purchased in northern
store. Against these is set up one
dollar collection of timed vegetables

The Wakulla Corn.

Our esteemed contemporary the Tai
lahasseean devotes considerable space
in recent issue to what is designated
as a new variety of corn grown in
Wakulla county by Mr.. Noah Pelt.
One popularity of the corn is that in
stead of tassle it has an ear of corn
growing where the tassle should be.
We give this statement for what it
may be worth, and throw the respon-
sibility of it on the shoulders o:
brother Collins.
The corn has other characteristics
worthy of note. It is described as
prolific grower, yielding prodigeous
number of ears. The cob was phe-
nominally small and each grain was
enclosed in a eparate shuck. The
Tallahasseean concludes it's descrip-
ton as follows:
''While there are some things this
corn could not be used for, there is
no question but it is far superior to
common corn for stock feed-especial-
ly when a feed cutter is used. Another
advantage is, it must be weevil proof,
or as near it as we may ever expect
to find, for this festive grain Destroy
er would likely tire of boring through
shuck for the satisfaction of de-
stroying only one grain of corn. At
any rate his progress would be slower
and therefore less disastrous.

Mr.. Patrick, who has charge of the
train, says:
''The average farmer should pro-
duce every year 100 cans of tomatoes,
100 cans of pears, 100 cans of peaches,
100 cans of apples, or their equivalent
in other fruits or vegetables, 100 bot
ties of tomato catsup, three barrels of
vinegar, 800 pounds apple butter, one
pound of butter every day, at least
one chicken for every week in the
year, one dozen eggs for every week
in the year, 500 pounds of dried fruit
and one beef.
''These things, he figured, would
bring 1926, and if every farmer i'm a
county like Liberty would do the
same thing, the total would reach
$450,00O, possibly half million dol
lars. The hogs, lambs, Irish and
sweet potatoes, corn, wheat, oats, hay,
butter and cotton would be in addi-
ton to that.
''The farmer needs to save the little
things. He must stop the small leaks"
Here Mr. Patrick illustrated his point
by pouring a gallon of ice water into
battered old tin can. The holes in
the sides were filled with cotton, but
the water streamed out at the bottom
as if it were running through a sieve.
eff we would only stop these small
plenty of money in our bucket at the
end of the year, said the Seaboard's
representative.
The object lesson was strikingly
presented. It had probably never oc-
Cured to Onema in hundred among
those present that they and their
neighbors sent off so much cash every
year for things which they could just
as well make at home. Now the next
thing was to show how to make
things. There were two New Hamp>
shire women for teachers. They were
not professionals, but just bright, eco
nomical New England housekeepers
who could make anything to eat that
goes on a table under an English
name. Twenty-siX ladies of Ebert
county had been invited to hear the
lecture and to constitute a class. AS
it would be impossible for hundreds
of women to get close enough to hear
the plan was adopted of making sure
that a few at least heard everything.
One thing that attracted much at
tention was a crude evaporation for
fruit. Mr.. Patrick had a boy of 16
make two of them. He took a hogs
head and put a small stove in it, with
the pipe running up through the top.
Then he cut larger hole in the top
and placed box over that. The box
was fitted with several frames covered
with wire netting or cloth, on which
the sliced fruit was placed. With a
moderate fire in the stove the fruit
would dry sufficiently IN fifteen min
utes, and it came out as white as the
best California evaporated fruit. 1t
was suggested that if there was no
stove convenient, an oven might be
built of rocks for the fire, with a
piece of pipe to carry off the smoke

MEXICAN SILVER.

On Aug. 6, foreign exchange in Mexico
was quoted at sl.32. the highest rate
vet since the decline in silver bullion.
Unless there IS some mistake about the
quotation and it rests on dispatch to
the New York Tribune, the free coinage
of silver nearly doubles the value of the
silver bullion for use abroad, from the
fact that it will buy foreign exchange
at 81. 90 which IS the same as gold itself.
The bullion value of the American dol
lar is now less than a. cents and as the
Mexican dollar is slightly heavier call it
45 cents. At this valuation, if the coined
dollar at home was only worth its bull
lion value foreign exchange or gold
would be worth or would cost 2.22 in
stead of 1872 This proves that in
Mexico even 45 cents worth of silver bull
lion coined into legal tender money IS
worth more than rs cents for the pur-
chase of goods in foreign countries and is
OF course par for domestic purposes
Now if this IS the result of the free
coinage of silver in q nation using but
$50, 900, 600 of money, what would be the
consequences in nation like the United
States requiring 81 600, 0OO,00O of money
and in fact actually needing so per cent
more. If poor, feeble, Insignificant
Mexico by free coinage can elevate her
silver dollar from As cents bullion value
to more than rs cents gold value for
foreign use, how will our gold standard
friends secure so cent American silver
dol lar under free coinage.
During the last election campaign a
syndicate Of wealthy men was formed in
Denver, who offered to take $40, 200, 600
of silver dollars at 81 l.2 cents six
months after free aud unlimited coinage
