For The FARMER, with wishes for q

las a. Little Child"

One Christmas morning, some years,
some years ago.
A little girl sat rocking her dollie to
and fro
In little willow rocker that Santa
Claus did bring,
And her eyes were big with wonder, as
she heard the church bells ring.
"Oh, dollie!" said the little maid, II
mustn't love you so,
"For you are only wax, and can get
broked up. | know;
''But l feel SO full Of gladness don't
know what to say"
And bending on her little knees she
thus began to pray:
'Oh! littlel infant Jes us, l love you;
yes, do.
"Ot all the gifts this day has brought
the greatest gift is you.
s'From your home in Heaven, look
down on me, l pray,
"And let me feel your blessing on this
Christmas day."
Time has left his mark on her brow.
since then.
And that little girl drank deeply of the
knowledge taught by men;
OF chisms deep and creeds wrapped up
in wells, to hide deceit;
OF stumbling blocks in the way, to trip
unwary feet;
OF the many wiles 10 lure one from the
narrow pa:h and straight.
Yet, shining like jewel, she still
keeps her childish faith;
For she can take her children about her
knees to-day
And lift her eyes to Heaven, with their
pure ones, and say:
"Oh! little infant Jesus, love ) ou; yes,
lido.
"Of all the gifts this day has brought,
the greatest gift is you;
From your home in Heaven, look down
on me, l pray,
And let the feel your blessing. on this
Christmas day. *. ABEL.

RESOLUTIONS.
Crop Reporting by the
Department of Agri-
culture.

lhe following resolutions we're
passed by the American Society of
Equity at Its Annual meeting at
Indianapolis. Ind, October 1926,
1905, delegates representing the
organized farmers in nineteen
States being IN attendance:
Whereas, One of the functions
of the Department of Agriculture
Is to issue monthly crop reports or
estimate of the condition and proba.
BILE yield of the chief crops pro-
duced in this country; and
Whereas, These reports are based
on observations made about two
weeks before they are made public,
which makes it possible for the
conditions to have changed for bet
ter or worse; and
Whereas, Conditions may
change several times, and very ma.
ter,ally, after one Of these reports,
and affect the final outcome OF the
crop quite contrary to the prelimi'
nary estimate, and
Whereas, These reports, If is-
sued for any good purpose, should
be in the interests of the farmers;
but as they are always too late for
the farmers TO take advantage of
them to decrease or increase the
acreage, or, it they indicate"a very
large or very small yield, the farm
ers are powerless to do anything to
increase or decrease their crops;
and
Whereas, The reliability of these
reports is questionable as regards
accuracy, and as regards the final
outcome of the crops can be no
more than guesses; and
Whereas, These reports are eag'
erly awaited by spectators and do
affect prices temporarily and varla.
bly-one month may be toward
lower prices and the next for higher
prlces-thus tanning the hre of
speculation, keeping legitimate
business unsettled, and have a ten
dency to affect the prices of grow
ing crops months before they ma
ture or the yield and condition can
possibly be known; and
Whereas they have never been
known to be benefit to the
farmers, but are purely in the IN
terest OF SPECTATORS:
Therefore be it
Resolved, First. That the De-
partment of Agriculture discon-
tlnue its monthly crop reports.
Second. That it issue only one
report year, and that at a time
when the crop can be accurately
measured or closely estimated, and
after it ls safe from material dan.
ger in quantity or quality.
Third. That copy OF these reso-
lutlons be sent to Hon. James Will
son, Secretary of Agriculture, 10
the President of the United States,
to all farmers institutes, to all
farm papers, and to the leading
metropolitan papers of the country.
Fourth. That enough copies be
printed to put in the hands of all
delegates IN attendance at this con-
ventlon, TO be sent to all newspa'
pers they subscribe for, with the
request that they publish.
Respectfully submitted: w. 6.

FRUIT VENDORS
OBEY THE LAW
The Rubbish Not in Use is
Removed
CITY CAN'T COLLECT RENTS
City Attorney Smith Writes Letter to
Mayor Ward-Mr. Ward Comes
to Town Early In the
Morning.

The proprietors of the fruit stands oc-
cupying the sidewalks in the business
portion of Birmingham have complied
with the ordinance adopted at the last
meeting of the city council, which de-
fined the amount of space to be used by
them The ordinance stipulates that no
stand shall occupy more than three feet
by twenty-five feet and Monday night
was the maximum time r the vendors
to comply with the ordinance.
Mayor George b. Ward was down town
yesterday morning o'clock, looking
around to see if the .ruit dealers mad
complied with the laws of the city. AL
the fruit stands it was a case of get
busy" with the Greeks, .onday night
and early yesterday morning. Bottles,
barrels and other articles not in use,
were moved off am the stands presented
a much better appearance yesterday
morning.
Several of the fruit Cealers, 1t is under
stood, employed Attorney A. o. Lane
ex-mayor of Birmingham, TO take up
the matter with the city council. Mr..
Lane had a conference with the Mayor
yesterday afternoon.
1--WE are satisfied now" said the Mayor
yesterday afternoon, and the only lhing
further to expect 20 try to do is to make
the fruit stand proprietors purchase the
regulation garbage cans an. place them
near their places of business. This Will
keep the streets and sidewalks near the
fruit stands in better condition.
City Attorney EdwaI d. Smith has
written a letter to the Mayor to the
effect that he does not think the Mayor
and Aldermen would have the right to
collect rents from fruit stand dealers for
the use of the sidewalks, in addition to
the regular license.
The letter follows:
I'm reply to your letter of May 20 with
refence to the fruit stand matter, which l
attach herewith, l beg to say that the
city is now getting what is practically
rent for the use of the sidewalks, in licen-
sing the frultstand dealers to put their
stands upon the sidewalks. The city can
not of course prevent the fruitstand deal
ere from paying rent, or bonus, or what
ever is the proper term to give it. for the
privilege of erecting awning from the
buildings and fastening the stands there
to. This much of the property of the
abutting owners is used by all the fruit
stand dealers, indeed some of them go
further and rent little cuddy holes in
the side of the building which they use
for storage purposes.
LAS | understand 1t the fruitstand deal
ers do not pay the AUDITING property
owners any rent for the use of the side
walk but merely for the use of the
walks as above stated, the city
getting in the shape of licenses all that
is paid for the use of the the sidewalks
ttemselves."
