Foreigners Flock to America.

The e;influx of immigrants reach
ed the high-water mark last week
when abodt $4,000 foreigners ar
rived in New York in a single day
to cast their fortunes in this land
of liberty, more than $500 max.
ing the voyage on one vessel.
After all, how few of these people
ever realize what American life is
in its truest sense. The vast ma
jori-y of immigrants take up their
abode in the foreign colonies OF
the cougested cities of the north
and west where the manner Of
living is not very unlike that 10
tae large cities CT the cd country.
Ii they would have o new heaven
and new earth revealed to them
they should pitch theit tents in
the iuteflor---in the soutb, for lis
stance-where they can inhale
pure, invigorating elf and bask i'll
the glorious Sunshine twelve
months in the year. Furthermore,
in the distinctjvely agricultural
regions greater opportunity is
given for the development and
growth of these lives that have
been necessarily dwarfed by rea-
son oftheir past environment.
The immigrant who lodgss-in
the scums of large city, whether
that city be in the north, south or
west, never. realizes what grand
and glorious privilege it is to be
an Ameriman citizen in the
broadcast and fullest meaning Of.
the term. It would be a work of
mercy to irectsthese foreignersto to
more wholesome climes than the
densely populated cities when they
step ashore from the trans-Atlar-.

Statistics show that Georgia and
South Carolina are now using
more commercial fertilizers than
were used by the whole southern
states ten years ago. kWnile these
enormous fertilizer bills ale a
heavy tax upon farmers yet the
yield per acre in cotton has also
been greatly increased. Owing to
amore general adoption of the in
tensiye plan of farming, the next
ten years will probably show. a
still larger use of commercial fer
tilizers. The greatest expense in
growing cotton is the labor, and
experience has proven that there
is more net profit realized from
planting a well-fertillzed small
area than from poorly-fertilized

The Tailor Bird.

Tke brilliantly plumed birds of the tropical forests are exposed to many dangers. and if they were not gifted with peculiar yet useful instincts they would fall ready victims to their enc mics. Chattering monkeys and big snakes steal and eat their eggs, while their offspring are preyed upon by foes on every side. But 1t takes sly mon- key or snake to get ahead of the tailor bird. small East Indian singing bird. She hides her nest so skillfully that her enemies cannot find it. no matter how hard they try. This she does by using her long. slender bill as needle. With the tough fiber of a parasitic plant abundant in the tropics. as a thread she sews a dead leaf taken from the end of a slender and hanging branch. and between these leaves she builds her nests, where neither monkey nor snake can approach. because the branch will not bear it's weight.
