other articles. One farmer made
$1,So0 clear profit last year from
his melon crops, more than he had
made in all his life as wheat and
corn producer. Another turned
his attention from wheat and corn
to poultry and sold last year 1.S00
chickens and 81 4, 100 worth of truck.
He points out that to secure these
great benefits the southern farmer
must unite with legislation to
attract the attention of capitalists
and enlist their cooperation in the
building offactories, the develop
ment of mines and thes construc-
tion Of railroads.

unusually Interesting and striking
discussion of southern farm condi-
TONS. and how the agricultural In
terests Of the soulh can alone be
made prosperous.
Governor MacCorkle says: "The
farmer is not in a good way in the
south. The totals of his labor,
taken as a whole, are enormous,
but the farmer is not the gamer,
and the south does not profit her
enormous yields as she should.
She is another example of the
proposition that country cannot
become rich and strong through
agriculture alone. The loom, the
reaper and the anvil must 60
together. Severed, they but furnish
the raw material for other and
more favorable communities
Transportation, the factory and
the farm under wise and establish
ed laws can make the sou4h an
industrial empire and the southern
farmer a mighty power in the
worlds affairs"
Discussing the situation, he
says: eve cannot 1.-Two under such

Discussing the farm situation
in New England and the lessons
to be drawn from it by the south,
Governor MacCorkle states that
while in New England this summer
he made careful investigation OF
the situation. By reason OF cheap
western land, vast changes in the
economics of transportation, grea-
ter fertility Of soil, there was pro-
duced in New England some years
ago a tremendous farm depression.
Great numbers of FARMERS, who
had not been able to understand
the change that was taking place,
abandoned the east and went west.

The Growing Fondness For
Rural Life a Good Sign.

&
In The Ladies Jou nal, Edward
Box, with much satisfaction: notes
the strong tendency to country
living aud believes that ''it is one
of the best signs of the times.
Nothing in the world can keep a
a man or won an SO young and
fresh as to be able to be in touch
each day with the perpetual
freshness and youth of nature.
Suburban life means more out of
door living, and that is what we
Americans all need. We want
more exercise, and suburban living
makes that easier. We want our
interest in things kept fresh, and
that nature does for us as nothing
else can.
"The more Our busy men see of
natures restful ways the more
restful will they become. The
closer we keep our children to the
soil the healtier will they be
| physiclly and the stronger will they
develop mentally. The more our
girls breathe in the pure air which
God intended for all, but which
mall in. the cities pollutes, the
better women we shall have, the
fewer worried mothers we shall
see. The more our young men
see of out of door sports the more
clearly will they realize the
greatness. of splendid physical
health.
"The more the tired housewife
sees of flowers and plants and trees
the closer will become her interes
in all things natural and simple
and, as she sees the simplicity
with which nature works un
4 consciously, will the lesson b.
forced upon her and enter into he

there is no teacher like natur
