The following Is synopsis Of
the report made BY Special Agent
Bamberge to the agricultural de-
partment
"Prof. w. NJ. Bamberge, special
agent of the department OF agricul-
ture. who has been directing the
cultural corn and cotton growing
work on the demonstration farms
10 this state during the past year, has
forwarded his final report to the
department on the crop operations
for 1906. and 1t contains some high
ly interesting data. The depart
ment has issued statement show
ing the results of Prof. Bamberge's
work and the figures are Of espec-
ial importance to the farmers of the
state.
"The average yield of seed cot
ton on the demonstration farms
where the staple was cultivated un-
der government supervision was
I.48S pounds per acre. while the
average WELD OF farms immediate
ly adjoining the government farms
was SIT pounds per acre This
indicates a. average gain by cuitu-
raj methods Of oIopounds per acre.
which j, more than the average
yield for the entire state. 1t is
further shown that the cost Of pro-
ducing cotton under the cultural
method vas S2I 81 pei acre. which
Is not more than the usual cost un-
der old methods. while the average

Commenting ON the Reveille's
recent article on a reform school.
the Hazlehurst Courier says:
The Rcveille is giving our Solons
some hard facts to think about.
1t does seem strange that under
our social system one OF the most
essential factors to our civilization
should be one of the last to come.
The absolute necessity Of reform
schools in every state is recognized
by every student Of sociology, no
matter what his creed. And yet
it has been the policy Of near
ly every state to put off this issue
until damage beyond remedy has
been the result. and hundreds Of
children-most OF them without
proper home environments, child
rem. who. through no fault of their
own. have been neglected. and who
under different conditions might
have made good citizens. have re-
ceived the only training that they
ever had a chance to get. from pen
itentiaries and schools of crime. 1t
is strange that though We can get
no State Normal School to train
professional teachers to teach these
children. nor yet get reformatory
to care for these misguided and fire.
quently homeless youths. that we
should yet persist in training them
in schools OF crime at state expense
-an expense that can't be meas
ured by legislative appropriations,
but like Cams legacy, is handed
down. a curse, to generations yet
to come.
When big-hearted Bob Taylor
was governor Of Tennessee he made
fight for a State Reformatory.
The legislature turned him down.
He said IF you don't give the
young unfortunates Of Tennessee a
chance to reform their lives, I'll
pardon every child criminal out of
the penitentiary and turn them
loose on Tennessee" He got 1t,
Governor Jeff Davis Of Arkansas
made the same fight in his state
and won-and, whatever the Gov
ernor's faults may be. he keeps on
winning. How do our own caudi-
dates for governor stand on this
question:

NOT SCARED BY INJUNCTION
Farmers Near Seattle Willing to
Perish in Attempt to Save
Their Homes.

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 17.-An armed
posse of deputy sheriffs left Seattle this
afternoon to compel a band of ranch
ers living at Renton Junction 10 desist
from an attempt to save their ranches
from being entirely destroyed by blast
ing a log jam a mile long that the flood
has wedged tight upon the banks. The
log jam is above a turn in the river.
and were it not for the jam the flood
would pass by the ranches around the
bend of the river. AS il is. the log lam
diverts the flood from its natural chan
mel and turns it over the ranches If
the ranchers save their property by
sending the logs down the river three
bridges belonging to the county and
two to the Interurbdn and one to the
Seattle Electric company will be de-
stroyed. An injunction was issued in
the superior court this noon restrain
ing the ranchers from moving the jam.
The ranchers are armed and declare
they will not obey the injunction if a
resort to violence is necessary.
