Changes in Living Standards Amone
Farmers.

Probably many of you can remem-
Der when the living of farmers, homes.
clothing, ETC., were very different
from that of the average farmer of to-
day. A correspondent of Farm and
Ranch tells something of these changes
IN quite an interesting article:
Sometimes in our journeys across
country we look back across va11ev or
plain to see how far we have come.
and the distance that we have travel
ed gives us courage to press on to
Our destination. In considering the
progress Of civilization we also look
back at those things recorded in his
tory or archaeology and contemplate
the distance we have come, the sum-
mlts we have climbed and the prob
lens we have solved, and this con-
temptation is usually a good antidote
for the pessimism which takes hold
Of us in moments of weakness or dis
cOuragement.
With these words of introduction
let us look back as far as memory
runs and even farther and note what
changes have taken place in the
standards of living on the farm The
younger ones know these changes
The Florida agriculturist., 1907-10-16

In furniture, there is no comparison
then with now. A few rich people
had fine furniture in those days, but
the poor and even the middle CLASSES
had crude tables, chairs, beds, bu-
reaus and wash stands, but the de-
velopment of the factory system and
the increase in the amount OF money
which farmers now have to spend
has enabled them to furnish their
homes with furniture that is not only
good, but beautiful.
In many other things the change
has been equally great. Washing
machines have, in considerable meas
ure, been substituted for the rub
board butter factories, especially IN
the Northern states and in less de-
gree in the South have relieved the
busy housewife of the work OF max
ing butter; top buggies and other
styles of pleasure vehicles have be-
come common among the very people
who, in their youth, rode IN OK carts
Or astride a mule Public schools
are distributed everywhere and while
their usefulness may not be as great
as it can be made, yet they have
taught children to read, write and
figure, accomplishments that are not
only useful but necessary and the
basis for the greater superstructlon
of advanced learning. Books, papers
and magazines have multiplied and
our people are rapidly becoming
reading people, The tallow dip and
the pine knot are replaced with the
kerosene lamp, and numbers Of farm
ers use acetylene gas in their homes.
The bath room and an adequate water
supply are becoming more common.
The telephone now reaches farm
homes by the score Of thousands and
free rural delivery is rapidly becom
ing universal.
All along the line there has been
an advance. The advance has not
been continuous in every section Of
the country; but taken all in all the
living standards have risen among
farmers This fact, however, should
not deter the present generation from
1aboring intelligently and necessarily
toward making the standards stil
higher Standards of living are not
yet what they should be, nor what
we hope they will be in the near
future. In food, clothing, shelter, fur
niture, household conveniences, water
supply, heating apparatus, implements
and machinery the standards are still
far too low, and in educational mat
ters and the social status there is a
vast field for improvement

gains in area in the year are ike
wise reported by Jewell and onll1n'
or 1927 and 6,258 acres, respectively
followed by Mitchell with an increase
of 5.A5I acres, Washington with 4,991

wick 4,613 acres, and Republic 4,o2o
acres.
Kansas, situated as it is bordering
the Missouri river on the east ana
extending 400 miles westward toward
the Rocky mountains, presents
wide variety of soils and other con-
ditions, but alfalfa is all the way
successfully grown, thus demonstrat-
ing it's general adaptability. The
farmers of practically all portions are
annually sowing enlarged areas, as is
indicated by the county statistics
For example, of the more western
counties, Wichita and Stevens, area
in the last year Of 567 per cent and
633 respectively, Clark has increased
it's area II2 per cent, Pratt Io4 per
cent, Stafford I42 per cent, 1ld Rush
o. per cent; of the eastern counties
NAV be mentioned Leavenworth, on
the Missouri river, which enlarged its
area I58 per cent in the last year,
johnson gained I78 per cent, Bour-
bon 24I per cent, over 100 per cent
was gained in Brown and o8 per cent
in Jackson.
In 1901 there were nine counties
having 1000 Or more acres; this year
there are eighty-one. In 1891 there
was one county-Finney-having over
5000 acres; now there are forty-four
such counties, twenty-nine of which
have 10000 acres and upwards.
In Kansas alfalfa growing was a
prelude to prosperity and is the stead
fast promoter of it's progress. From
comparative obscurity it has steadily
risen to the foremost rank of the
hay plants, and has already resulted
in quadrup1ing the states output of
tame hay In 1890 the value of the
tame hay crop was $2,ooo,ooo, while
that of 1905 was worth over $Io,5oo,-
900. The annual value of products
Of live stock in that time has been
practically doubled, and alfalfa has
made Of Kansas, if not first, one of
the foremost states in dairying
most desirable branch of husbandry
that, intelligently and generally fol-
lowed, we'll nigh insures continued
and enlarged prosperity. Alfalfa, it
seems, supplied the one requisite
Providence failed to provide in estab-
fishing the otherwise ready-made
conditions for dairying in Kansas,
and the attention being given this
mode of intensive farming in nearly
every locality is having it's beneficial
influence, commercially and socially.
AS hay there is none so good for
all kinds of live stock as alfalfa,
and tor horses and hogs it is a most
Invaluable food, either as hav.
so1l1ng crop or as pasture. AS a
meat maker, milk maker and money
maker it is equally priced, and as a
renovator and improver of soils it has
no competitor.

Curbing Extravaganza.

For Good Roads.
To the Editor of The Dispatch:

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
What do you think of the public
road situation in South Carolina?
have travelled through the counties of
Fairfield, Lexington, Newberry, Ches-
ter, Edgeheld, Lancaster, Kershaw,
Saluda, Laurens and Greenwood.
The latter is the only one in which
the roads are decently kept up. Mr..
Editor, there is on ly one way in
which the public roads of the State
can be kept up, and that is by taxa
ton. The times demand it. We
should stand by Mr.. Latimer in his
efforts to get aid from the national
government, and if congress will give
half the amount required, we GER
tainly should be willing to be taxed
to pay the other half. After the bill
is passed and the roads put in first
class condition. we should have Dr..
Crosson's broad tire wagons to run
over them.
The dispensary is almost dead is
sue now, the good road issue would
be, in my opinion, a good issue for
our little politicians to ride in office

But he was not happy. Oh. dear, no!
His troubles only just began at that
moment. A small crowd Of friends
were awaiting him. They all wished
to congratulate him in the same old
way, and after leaving them he was
quite $5 poorer. On leaving them he
went home, only to find awaiting his
arrival one or two book agents, an in
surance man, the butcher. the baker,

way all heard of his good fortune.
