HUBERT yREELAND.
Democratic CANDIDATE for Commissioner Of
Agriculture.

Asits thousands Of readers know,
the Farmers Home Jou rnal does
not often express Its preferences or
advise its friends and patrons In
contests for political offices, but
there are times when we deem 1t
to be In our special province to
speak a plain word where the In
terests of the farming classes OF
Kentucky are specially concerned,
and In this connection we desire to
express our heartiest Endorsement
Of the candidacy Of Mr.. Hubert
Vreeland, Of Jefferson county, for
the Democratic nomination for
Commissioner OF Agriculture, La
Dor and Statistics. The State Pri-
mary will be held on May 9th in
every county in Kentucky, and
every Democrat will doubtless feel
1t his duty to go to the polls and
there express his preferences In
the various contests for State Of
fees. AS for the other State offices,
the Farmers Home Journal has no
preferences to express, believing
that 1t should have an eye only to
that which is OF direct concern to
the farming classes. Mr.. Vreeland
was formerly a representative Of
the Farmers Home Journal, and
for the past three years has been
the assistant Commissioner Of Ag-
riculture, receiving the appoint
ment from Commissioner /. B. Nall
on account OF his special fitness Tor
the duties. His service as assist
ant has familiarized him with all
the duties OF the office, and in fact
has given him a knowledge Of the
conduct OF its. affairs that new
man could not acquire until after
a year or two of-Ris term had ex-
pired. Mr.. Vreeland had all his
life been a steadfast Democrat,
always supporting actively the
regular nominees Of his party. He
has already received the indorse-
ment OF thousands Of the most rep
resentatiye farmers in Kentucky,
and 1t affords us real pleasure to
be able to recommend to our read
ers and friends such an emiuently
qualified and estimable candidate
as Mr.. Vreeland. We speak for
him because we know him. We
speak for him because we know
the requirements OF the Office
which he seeks.-Farmers' Home
Journal.

responsible. The misguided sup
portsrs of that hybrid school and
the parents who send their chill
dren there are the ones who are to
blame.
Children can be educated to al
most anything, and there is some
thing In human nature that makes
1t easier to learn that which tends
to lower rather than that which
will elevate the ideals and morals.
A hard fight all the time is neces-
sary to the higher education OF the
race. The experience at Berea is
just what has always been predict
ed by opponents OF mixed schools.

At the State meeting Of the
Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion held at Lexington few days
ago there was a revolt because Of
the admission OF negro delegates
on equality with the whites, and
some delegates withdrew from the
meeting. The controversy led to
remarks on Berea College, the
mixed school in Kentucky which
is supported by Northern fanatics.
A delegate from that portion Of the
State remarked that within ten
days there had been expelled from
Berea three white girls and two
colored men, charged with court
ing. Ae also stated that he had
seen white and colored girls walk
arm IN arm down the streets OF
the town where this college is To-
Gated.
The authorities did wrong In ex-
ling these young people. Their
courtship Is the natural result Of
placing them Oh an equal footing

square mile in East Hartford has con-
tributed largely to the fame of the Con-
necticut valley in the production of the
broadleaf variety, which differs in many
essential characteristics from the Habana
seedleaf grown on the Hartford sandy
loan. The broadleaf variety is heavier
and has thicker leaf than the seedleaf,
is generally darker in color, and is bet
ter leaf for cutting purposes. 1t yields
more per acre than the Habana seed on
the Hartford sandy loans, but, with ali,
it has rougher look in the cigar. 1t is
considered better by the farmers in this
Podunk region to plant tobacco continu-
ously rather than to use rotation.
There are fields which have been con-
tinuously in tobacco for twenty-yeRrs,
and which it is claimed are as produc-
tive and produce as fine tobacco as at
any period of their cultivation. This
broadleaf variety is grown to limited
extent upon the small area of Hartford
sandy loan east of Connecticut River,
near South Windsor, but, with this ex-
ception, it is confined to the Podunk"

Increase in Acreage in Shade Tobacco.

Increase in Acreage In Shade Tobacco.
Reports received by The Homestead
from growers indicate that there will be
an increase of 25 to 33 per cent this year
in the acreage o shade grown tobacco.
Where last year between 700 and 800
acres were placed under cloth, this sum-
mer there will probably be 1000 to 100.
The increase will be principally due to
the formation of several new companies,
and to the first attempts of few grow
ers on a small scale. Nearly all the
growers of shade leaf last year intend to
grow the same amount this year. Only
few are expressing any intention to in
crease their planting, while still fewer
intend to make any reduction. One
grower writes that while he considers he
has made success of his shade tobacco
he would not advise small growers to at
tempt to use cloth very extensively, as
he believes the sale of shade leaf will be
slow. For this reason he thinks most
farmers should raise something they can
realize on readily each year. Only one
or two of the farmers heard from appear
to have made failure of their shade
loaf. Among the principal new compa-
MES being formed is the West Side Su-
matra tobacco growing company, with
home offices on Broadway, New York
city. This company will grow 40 or 30
acres in the city of Bloomfield, Con.

should hold off until they see more
