The progressive farmer and the cotton plant., 1904-12-06
Class Hatred in a Republic.

It is very easy thing to address section of
the community in reprobation of forms of vice
to which it is not prone What we need to have
impressed upon is that it is not usually the
root principle of vice that varies with variation
in social conditions but that it is the manifesto
ton of the vice that varies; and Mr.. Wagner has
well brought out the great fundamental truth
that the brutal arrogance of rich man who looks
down upon poor because he is poor, and
the brutal envy and hatred felt by poor man to-.
wards rich man merely because he is rich, are
at bottom twin manifestations of the same vice.
They simply different sides of the same shield.
The arrogance that looks down in the one case,
the envy that hates in the other. are really ex-
hibitions of the mean, base and unloyely
spirit which happens in case to be In differ
ent surroundings from what it is in the other
case. The kind of man who would be arrogant
in one case is precisely the kind of man who
would be envious and filed with hatred in the
other. The ideal should be the just, the gener-
Gus, the broad-1ninded man who is as incapable
of arrogance if rich as he is of malignant envy
and hate if poor-From an address by President
Roosevelt Washington, D. c., Nov. %, 1904.

/ should surround every human habitation. In fact,
! Mr.. French's advice will prove suggestive even
to many wide-awake farmers, for few of us are
improving all our advantages for complete living.
/ "Does not the poorer farmer know" asks Mr..
French, "that few days work would clear away
! the brush, I'LL up the unsightly holes, sow few
cents worth of grass seeds, white wash the cabin
and stable, and make little fruit garden2 And
what has he done2 Why made for himself and
loved ones home, not grand the wealthy
farmer may possess, but every bit beautiful
Now having few pigs and fine fat calf to
kill, with plenty of small fruits that cost him
scarcely anything to grow, he may, with good
garden, have good living as any family need
ask for"
The cotton situation is now very interesting,
and the letter from Mr. Fred Williams on page
is worth reading. Of course there is great
variation In the cost of manufacturing goods.
For year or two the cotton mills have not
made much money. but five years ago cotton
mill was better than a gold mine. And there
would be just much money for the manufac-
turer In ten cent as in six cent cotton, if the
price were only stable Next week we expect to
print some letters of unusual Importance from
Messrs. t. B. Parker, Harvie Jordan, and Ran
som Hinton as to the proper policy for cotton
growers to pursue under the present circum-
stances.
Hereafter we must give increased attention to
our poultry interests-for this is really more
important branch of agriculture than most of us
understand. Thus we were much impressed at
hearing Mr.. J. S. Jeffrey say the other day that
the poultry and eggs raised in the one State of
Missouri in year would more than pay the
original cost of the entire Louisiana Purchase
There are some excellent poultry suggestions on
page 8. and Mr.. Jeffrey will shortly give us one
more articles on Making Money From Hens
in Winter"
The progressive farmer and the cotton plant., 1904-12-06
AGRICULTURAL FEATURES OF THIS NUMBER.

On our first page CAPT Petty makes some valu-
able suggestions in regard to small grains, but
would direct attention especially to his counsel in
regard to tenants and contracts. How much
worry and ill-wiI would be saved, and how much
more smoothly general farming operations would
progress if only there perfect understand
ing at the first between all tenants and land
lordsi
Irish potatoes ought truly to be much more
widely grown as Mr.. Archer points out in his let
ter on page 1. Instead of planting small patch
for early summer the average farmer would do
well to increase his acreage from 100 to 500 per
cent and have potatoes ready for use all through
the winter. It is deplorable to find in many farm
homes so little variety in the food eaten, while
a good garden and orchard would enable even
poor tenant to fare almost well as king.
In his series of articles. Mr.. Archer is going to
tell of the best methods of raising potatoes, and
we hope that these letters will be followed closely
by all our readers. Some grow cotton, some
wheat, some tobacco; but all need potatoes.
And while we have just spoken of the unpro-
gressive farmers failure to have garden and or
chard products to give variety to his diet and
health to his family, Mr.. French in his Notes
From Sunny Home Farm" points out that many
farmers are just as negligent of their apportunl-
ties for getting that beauty which God meant
