One of Union Counfy's Best Farm.
crS Held mp as an Example for
Others tn FOlIOw-A nd They
Could not do Better.

MIR. J. 7. Wishert was telling us
recently about being over in Union
and passing the farm of Mr.. Davis
Gregory. lie said the corn was
grand, and there was wilderness of
pea vines among it. The laud is
hilly, but there is not a wash in it.
MIR. Gregory is a great believer in
deep plowing and peas.
Some features of this report struck
US with force The land is hilly.
There is not wash in it. The crop
is grand. MIR. Gregory believes in
deep plowing and peas. Nothing
was said about how the land is laid
of, but We are safe in concluding
that tho rows are not run ut random.
Farmers who allow any sort of an
ignoramus to lay off their land and
who leave an inch or two of the ton
soil-and that washed, starved sud
run to death-to fight with the ele.
ments, floods, droughts and blister
ing sun, to make u crop usually have
bad luck. The farmer who lays off
his land 50 as to retain and retard
the water of heavy rains as much as
possible, instead of making every
row race TO carry a flood to tho
dePressions, who stirs up tho subs,il
and brings it to the hel p of tho SUR
face in storing up the spring rains
and inviting the roots down IN time
OF drought to carry moisture to the
growing plants, who plants corn Oh
the hills, and not cotton alone, and
who believes in pea vines to shade
and feed the cultivated soil-tbst
farmer is favored by Heaven-bc-
cause he obeys Heavens lavs,-
Chester Lantern.
We told you some time sgo about
MIR. Gregory's farming. Some
thought we were just shooting off our
bazoo, but you just trace up all our
statements about these intelligent
farmers we've been telling YOU about
and you will acquiesce.-ED. UNION

able accuracy. There is but little
doubt that the trust and 1.-The tariff
will occupy the leading positions in
Mr. Roosevelt's recommendations.
1t is believed that the Attorney Gen.
.ral is now engaged on q measure
which will be presented at the forth
coming session Of Congress and
WHICH is designed To- perfect the iess
islation lnaugurated by the Sherman
antitrust bills. It is almost needless
to say that the bill will contain no
provisions inimical to what, in Re.
publican parlance, are 'sgood
trusts" 1t will be in line with the
recent recommendations of Mr.. Knox
and will merely supplement the
Sherman law by authorizing legal
proceedings not only against corpora.
lions instituted for the purpose Of
restricting trade but also against
those which incidentlly take meas,
ures calculated to effect that end.
Opinion differers as to what Congress
will do with Nj! Knox's bilI but that
it will receive the. endorsement of the
President is generally conceded.
A most, careful canvass Of those
most likely to know warrants the
statement that the President wilt
frankly state that there are tariff
schedules which should be revised.
What they are he will not indicate,
neither will he advise immediate re-
vision but on the contrary he will
recommend that provision be made
for q commission Of commercial ex-
perts to carefully investigate the
situation and prepare for Congress
q report on which a tariff bill may
be based during the first session of
Ffty-eighth Congress. While it
may not be embodied in his Decem-
Der message, MIR. Roosevelt will,
according to statement made to
your correspondent by person very
close, urge Congress before taking
up measure Intending to revise the
tariff, to announce definitely and
unequivocally, just what schedules
viii be changed and then to adhere
to that statement. By this means,
he believes that any uncertainty in
regard to prices as . result Of tariff
revision can be confined to . few
classes Of merchandise and the
general trade need not be made to
suffer. p
That there will be some pertinent
suggestions in regard to the anthra-
cite coal situation is foregone con-
clusion but whether they are included
in the first message or will be made
the subject Of q subsequent message
will depend upon the celebrity with
which the Anthracite Coal Strike
Commission completes the task before
it. The Commission, after meeting
at the White House and receiving
its Instructions from the President on
Friday, adjourned until Monday,
when the first actual meeting was
held. President Mitchell and the
coal operators have been invited to
be present for the purpose of setting
dates and places when and where
