THE BROWNLOW BILL.

The Brownlow Good Roads Bill, when first in.
troduced two or three years ago, was regarded
as fifty years ahead of time. But the idea has
spread like Il prairie fire, and the plan for National
aid to rural road building now seems likely to take
its place along with that other great and quick
growing success, National support of rural mail
delivery. While the BrownlOw measure has been
often explained in The Progressive Farmer, it
may not be amiss to repeat Just now that it pro-
vidcs
1. For the creation Of a department at Wash
ington, with proper superintendent and en-
ployes, to take care of the building of these roads.
9. The $24,OOO,OOO to be appropriated, avail
able at the rate of 100000 a year for three
years, is to be divided among the different States
according to their population, except that no
State is to receive less than $25O,OOO of this
money.
3. Each State, county or town receiving Fed
eral aid must add a like amount to the sum re-
ceived from the United States Government.
t. Should any State not take the amount allot-
ted to it under this law before January /, = 1907,
all such amounts not taken up are to be reallOtted
in proportion to the population Of the different
States which have taken up their entire allot-
ment.
AS we stated last week, North Carolina would re-
ceive $54S.0OO under the provisions of this bill

EDITORIAL
HOW ONE MAN SOLVED THE LABOR PROBLEM

A striking paragraph in the article by Mr.. j. S.
Gates on page 3 is the following:
"Iowa, with half the number of farm laborers
that we have, works five times the number of
horses. To make it more graphic, where in North
Carolina one man sprouts and another operates a
one-horse pillow, in Iowa they have only one man
to fill both these positions, so he drives the five
horses to a three disc gang pillow. which cuts the
sprouts as It goes. In other words, the one man
in Iowa, in way of preparing land, accomplishes
more than five times as much as the two men in
North Carolina. This is largely on account of
better equipment in way of work animals. At
least our poor equipment causes a bad precedent
to be set, when this is followed by the fellow who
could do better. Who has not seen half a dozen
one-horse plows going in one large field down in
the eastern part of our State, and at the same
time heard the old cry about scarcity of labor?"
This last sentence reminds US of a farmer we
saw the other day. Three years ago he planted
corn this way:
l man, 1 horse-opened row;
l man, 1 horse-distributed fertilizer;
l man, 1 horse-dropped and covered corn.
In other words, three men and three horses, six
units, planted one row of corn.
But labor began to get scarce, and at the sug-
gestion of one of the best known correspondents
of The Progressive Farmer, this man began to
look into the matter of improved farm machin-
cry. The result is that to-day
l man, 2 horses-open row, distribute fertili-
ger, plant corn and cover-and two rows at
the time, at that.
1t will be seen that while under the old system
it required three men and three horses C units)
to plant one row, under the new order one man
and two horses q u0itSO Dlant two rows.
And planting corn is only an illustration. There
are many other ways in which improved machin-
cry would work Just such a revolution. Isn't a
subject with such possibilities worth Investigate
ing?

HOW TO ORGANIZE AN ALLIANCE

The plan of organization is simple. Call the
farmers together in mass meeting. Select q tom
porary chairman and secretary. Explain the oh
Iects of the meeting-the organization of the
Alliance. Have every one present who will do 80.
and is eligible, give his name for membership
Persons who never belonged to the Alliance will
pay nifty cents membership or initiation fee. Per
son who have belonged to the Alliance will pay
only twenty-five cents. Obligate new members,
elect otticers,and send report to T.. B. Parker, Sec
rotary, RALEIGH. N. c.. Blanks will be furnished
on application.

"a FEBRUARY 27TH-RALLY A FOR THE :
"z@ -A1 FARMERS ALLIANCE.

We heartily commend to all our readers the
plan set forth in the following call by Secretary
Parker, of the State Farmers Alliance. All over
the State there are indications Of renewed inter-
est in farmers organizations, and the feeling Is
general that the Alliance has the best plan of or
ganization, and keeping itself on guard against
repeating any of the mistakes of the past, offers
the best opportunity for the co-oUeratiOn and mu-
tual benefit of our farmers. This number of The
Progressive Farmer goes to hundreds of farmers
who have not kept informed as to the record of
the Order during recent years. We wish that all
of them would investigate it's work and see for
themselves that it is devoted solely to the upbuild-
ing Of the agricultural interests of the State. If
it were otherwise, we should not endorse it.
North Carolina farming will never go forward
as it should until there is some kind of farmers
club at every school-house. Go to see your neigh
bors and get a dozen men and women to meet
February 9th. You cannot do a better thing for
yourselves, your neighborhood, or the Common
wealth. Here is Secretary Parker's call:
To the Farmers of North Carolina
Since writin~ the article which appears else
where in The Progressive Farmer, I have received
the gratifying intelligence that Rock Fish Sub
Alliance in Duplin County has reorganized with
nineteen substantial, active members. Why
should not every old Sub Alliance in North Caro-
lima follow the example of Rock Fish?
Now a suggestion for a grand rally of the Al
lance. Let every Sub Alliance in the State meet
at their respective meetin~ places on Saturday.
February 9th. Let the members of the defunct
Subs, or those that have ceased to work, meet on
the same day and reorganize. Let every man who
ever BELONGED to the Alliance, and who is now
eligible to membership, see his neighbors and
have all meet on Saturday, February 81, for the
express purpose of recognizing the Alliance.
l have had several letters from various counties
in the State in regard to reorganizing the ALI
ance, and so make this announcement. Let every
man, in every county in the State, who feels an
interest in the upbuilding of our agricultural in
tercsts, talk reorganization until February 9th.
and then act. There is plenty of time between now
and then to let every farmer know about the pro-
posed meeting. Let any one who wants further
Information on the subject, write me at once.
Remember this proposition applies to every
county in the State. Let no man hold back, but
all act as a unit.

@. W. BURKETT.

We are sorry to see that Brother Johnson. of
Charlty and Children, accuses Governor Varda-
man, of Mississippi, of having made q "careful
study" of his hobby, race division of school
taxes. A man who bases his entire argument on
the statement that the census shows that ednca-
ton increases negro c~rime-whereas the census
SHOWS exactly the reverse-may be guilty of some
things, but the charge of being a ~"carefnI stnden+0
ought not to be made against him.

FARM

1aoous 90 annlicable to farming in the middle
con+b T. Is the very basis of our farming ideals.
Personally, I have a great ambition to raise grass
and cattle, and l hope it may become the central
;doa Of q million farmers in our section OF the
country.
Grass and cattle mean wealth to the soil; they
o. wealth to the farmer. Look the world over
and see if it is not true that where grass and
cattle are, there you find productive soils, good
school-houses. good churches, comfortable homes
and well-to-do farmers.
The first ideal then for the farmer, is enough
cattle and sheep and hogs to consume every bit OF
forage that can be raised. [ sometimes think wo
will never grow clover and cowpeas to any extent
until we are forced to, so as to grow feed tor 1--we
stock. We have heard a great deal about these
two splendid crops and all of US know they Will
more quickly rescue old WORKOUT lands than will
anything else we can do. Still we are so slow to
listen to this message whenever it is brought.
"Cattle on a thousand hills" will preach the ser
mon over again and then we will hear.
If this whole matter of live stock production
we're still an untried experiment, | should not be
so optimistic in advocating its extension. But it
is no experiments; it is an established fact as is
demonstrated by the thousands now engaged in
the work. But the thousands are so few. We
need millions of people to make this a great live
stock section. We are buying too many carloads
If beef and pork and butter and cheese from the
Vest and North.
it takes too much of our cotton crop and to-
5acco crop and other crops to buy the other things
we need and have to have. This money goes away
from us and our n~eighbors and finally lands else
where than where it was earned by long hours in
tle cotton field.
We car changl this condition., and quickly too,
by growing on cur Southern farms, not only rae
tically all we need to feed our own families, but
have much to spare for our cities and towns.
Another ideal that is timely here is the improve
ment of the home surroundings. I trust every
Progressive Farmer reader will be an acti We agent
for making the farm home betteA and better. l.
will take a long long time for us, or any other
people, to reach perfection in this respect. There
are so many things to do. The lanes about the
farm may be in need of improvement, the fences
surrounding the house and barns can have a coat
OF Whltewash each year; the lawn can be made
better and better; the farm orchard cal be en-
larged so rs to provide fruit in season and out
of season; the garden can be enlarged so as to
include all of the small fruits; the farmers li:,1a-
ry can be made a more frequented place: more
books and magazines and agricultural papers can
be procured and read.
these and other ideals should always be before
us. Not simply to make the farm better to make
more money; we all like to do this. But this to
be our ldeal-to make the farm better, that tho
home may be better; that our boys and girls NAV
be better educated; that our own lives NAV he
enlarged and made fuller.
