CLARK WITHDRAWS.
Out of the Race for Unite d
Senator.
No Opportunity to Make a
Proper Canvass.

Hon. Champ Clark has issued
the following statement to the
Democrats of Missouri:
after the State Committe decid-
ed against general primary at its
meeting OH Jan. Is, at once be-
gan an investigation, as best |
could, by letter, us to the posi-.
bilities of winning the Scnatorship
on the plan now being pursued.
Under the circumstances ] owed it
to the Democratic party. to my
friends and to myself to do that.
"lf the primaries had been post
poned until August and Septem-
ber, it is my Judgment that my
chances of success, while by no
means so great as under the gen
cral primary, would have been
fairly good, as could then have
cauvasScd a large portion of the
State without in any way neglect
ing my duties here. But with the
primaries beginning March | and
running till August, cannot do
myself or my friends justice in the
canvass without practically aban-
doning my duties as Representa-
tive for the entire long session,
which | cannot do honorably or in
good conscience
consequently withdraw my
name from consideration as sen
atorial candidate, and will devote
my time and whatever Of energy
and talent | possess to lahoring
here III the cause of good govern
ment, economically administered &.
1t may be that can serve the
party and the country better here
than by canvasSing Missouri.
~ am III no way complaining Of
, the early primaries. Each county
has the unquestioncd and unqucs-
tionablC right TO set its primary
convention or mass meeting for
any date it plcasrS; but, ncverthe-
less, the fact remains that the con
, tinuoUs performance plan of hay
ing primaries run for the ensuing
six months practically preclude
my canyaSsing the State.
I'm leaving the contention 70
the great prize to others, | deSir

A Valuable Plant.

There is another crop that the
Southern farmer neglects and to his
loss. That crop is sorghum. Every
farmer should grow some of it; if not
ten aches, five; if not five, two or even
one. To the small or one-horse farmer
one acre of sorghum we'll fortified and
cultivated will be worth considerable
in the shape of syrup, and the seed
and refuse of the acre will make
thousand pounds of pork. Sweet po-
tatoes upland rice and sorghum are
three great side" crops for the South
ern farm. Fully valued and given the
attention that they we'll merit they
will come very near solving the prob
lem "how to make the farm self-sus-
tanning"
The actual value of an acre of
sorghum if fully utilized is worth as
much as five acres of corn. On good
land 1t yields two to forty bushels of
seed besides the syrup that is extract
ed from it. The pressed stalks, too.
have a value for feeding or fertilizing
purposes. OF course 1t is an exhaustive
crop" 1t would not be so valuable per
acre II it were not. l do not remem-
Der how much syrup comes from a
crop that yields thirty bushels of seed
but it is quite a number of barrels,
ana As ROOQ syrup as one nGeQS TO nave
if it is properly made.
Twenty years ago the best varieties
of sorghum did not yield more than
seven TO eight per cent. of sugar Now
adays tie best kinds. like the Cole
man" and Collier yield from Is to 20
per cent. of sugar. A peck of seed
will more than plant an acre-planted
in rows three feet apart, and a stalk
left every few inches in the drill. To
secure improvement in the quality of
sorghum a row or two should be set
apart to grow seed for another year.
In these rows the stalks should stand
fifteen to eighteen inches apart. and
be made by good culture to produce
large heads of fully matured seeds.
Sorghum. like upland rice, should be
so planted that there will be little
chance for grass or weeds to get a
hold amongst it at the start TO do
this the land should be put in proper
condition to receive the seeds early in
April. and as soon as rain falls pro-
coed to SOW in shallow drills made
with a garden pillow covered lightly
and rolled. In a few days the plants
will appear. and can easily be kept
ahead of spontaneous growth of any
| kind. If ever the latter gets a hold
amongst the young sorghum plants it
will be a job getting the rows clean.
There is nothing gained by planting
before the soil has warmed up We
only wish we could impress every
farmer in Georgia how valuable sor-
ghum may be made in it's varied quail
tiles of a syrup maker and produce of
forage for cattle and of cheap pork
1t is worth all the attention that may
be given it

In these intensely practical days we
are apt to count the success of a man
by the amount of wealth he has ac-
cumulated, and to overlook what the
man has done for the world, says the
Practical Farmer. Among the many
wise and beautiful things Ruskin
wrote, the following is admirable:
There is no wealth but life-life in
Guiding all its powers of love, of joy
and of admiration. That country is
richest which nourishes the greatest
number of noble and happy human
beings; that man is richest who, hav-
ing perfected the functions of his own
life to the utmost, has also the widest
helpful influence, both personal and
by means of his possess ions over the
lives of Others" The man who is en-
gagged in doing something to uplift
humanity and to make the world bet
ter and happier is leading a successful
life, though he may not be laying up
dollars in his Golfers. The man who
makes a happy home for those he is
the means of bringing into the world
and who develops them into wise and
useful men and women, is making a
success in life more valuable to him
self and his family than by laying up
wealth that may curse his children.
Wealth, wisely and honestly acquired
is not to be despised. but it should
never be the sole aim in life, and
should be valued more for the power
it gives for doing good than for
itself alone. The man who teaches his
fellowmen a better use of the soil the
Creator has placed in their keeping is
doing a good work for humanity that
Will live after him, for one man en-
abled to use his land better is an eX-
ample to all around him. Hence. the
far-reaching work of the real agricul-
tural paper. The real aim of such a
paper should not be the mere financial
success that attends it. valuable as
this must be in its work. Its real
mission is the elevating of the men
on the farms to a better appreciation
of the nobility of their calling, the
Importance of their work, and their
responsibility as stewards of the AL
mighty for the care of their farms.
The Bible says that THE earth is the
Lords, and the fullness thereof, and
the man who wastes it is really vast
ing what the Creator placed in his
hands Ito dress and keep" Looked at
in this way there is a great RESPONSE
bility on the tiller of the soil to dress
and keep it properly, and not to hide
his talent in the earth, but to increase
and multiply it. You may not make
a great fortune. but if you leave the
farm better, and the home better for
your life, you will have done your part
and made a success.

Until recent years we were rather of

says the Homestead. There may be
instances even yet when they act as
useful scavengers, although it is now
believed that the extent to which they
carry disease, together with their abil-
ity to cause annoyance to the human
race, renders them an out-and-out pest
to mankind The season is now ap-
preaching for their annual visitation,
and We feel assured that they are hail

gree of delight.
The life history of the house fly is as
follows: The eggs are laid in decaying
vegetable matter, or in manure around
stables especially around horse sta

are deposited the larva comes forth.

MATTERS OF INTEREST TO HOUSE
WIFE AND AGRICULTURIST.

Upland Rice Neglected hut VAL

That Every Farmer should Have
Sorghum GrOwine-Prohts of the
Hen-Thc Vnlue of Good Roads.
If there is any crop that the South
ern farmer neglects TO his undoubted
disadvantage it is upland rice. This, by
all odds, the greatest cereal yet dis
covered or improved by man. should
always be the most important side crop
on any Southern farm. At any rate,
it should stand only second TO sweet
potatoes. l., the main crop continue
to be, if you will. cotton and corn, but
without the best reason possible to de-
vote a certain area to sweet potatoes.
upland rice. sugar cane and field peas.
These four side crops should be worth
to any farmer as mueh as his corn
and cotton together There is no
BILE as rice. A bushel Of it is worth
more than two bushels of any other
grain or bread producer that is culti-
vated by man. Alone it will sustain
life and strength indefinitely. AS food
for children it is unsurpassed. 1t yields
abundantly Its straw is an unsur-
passed forage for animals. 1t will grow
on any good corn or cotton land re-
quiring less cultivation than either of
those crops No farmer, however
email bfe ventura should foil RI n
a least one acre in upland rice, fertil
lied and cultivated in the best man
ure possible. As food, he should culti-
vate a liking for rice on the part of
every member of the family.
1t is sown in 20 or 24-inch drills in
April. sowing the seed thick enough to
have a plant every inch or two in the
drill. A bushel of seed will SOW an
acre. If preferred, the seeds can be
dropped in hills six to eight seeds every
y inches apart and letting all grow
that come up. On any sold badly in
fected with grass or weeds ii will be
better to thus plant in hills so that the
hoe can do better work, but on rich
clean land we prefer to sow the seed
evenly along in the drill. as suggested.
Good land will yield anywhere from
thirty to sixty bushels of trough rice

fifteen bushels.
1t is tedious cleaning by hand, but
there are small hullers made that an
swer for family purposes.
When grown in quantity it must be
shipped to mill to be hulled. But it
is well worth all the trouble involved.
Surely the day is near at hand when
neary every Georgia farmer will raise
all his rice and almost live upon it, so
far as bread goes. 1t is as easily rails
ed as oats or rye.

Profits of The Hen.

We look upon them as filing some

HUNG HIMSELF FROM GAS JET.

Atlanta Journal: Hanging from
gas jet the body of P. B. Parks, a man
90 years old, was found in the back
hall OF the Morris Hotel at $50 O'Clock
Saturday morning by Mrs. G. A. Muir
phy, the housekeeper. Mrs Murphy
was dreadfully frightened at her un-
canny find and her screams soon
aroused the occupants of the hotel.
Parks for the last ten days had been
night clerk and Waterman al the hotel.
he went about his duties as usual last
night and nothing out of the ordinary
was noticed in his conduct. To hang
himself Parks cut of a piece of an old
rope that was in the plumber room in
the back of the hotel. He then took
q chair and placed a small box upon
it. Climbing to the top of the box, he
secured the rope to the gas pipe and
then adjusted the moose about his neck.
He kicked the box from the chair and
dropped the length of the rope The
man evidently expired without pain,
judging from the expression of the fea-
lures when the corpse was discovered.
The body was perfectly cold when
found, but had not become rigid.

twelve generations pass through their
life history in one season. Many cit
les are waging war against these in
sects by the exercise of more vigilance
in cleaning up all decaying matter and
manures. In this way much has al
ready been accomplished. ana we be-
lieve that il would be practicable on
the average farm to still further carry
out this work of destruction. We have
TO hesitation in saying that if far
mers of a certain neighborhood would
combine in this matter and treat their
manures with some kind of lime or re-
move them to the fields early in the
spring that much would be done TO
bring about the destruction of these in
