TOBACCO NOW
CROWS THERE.
Mobile County and City a
Deal Happier Because
Of Discovery.
EXCELLENT GRADE TOBACCO
PRODUCED ON SMALL SCALE
IN WESTERN PART OF THE
COUNTY ON SANDY LOAN.
SpecIal to The Journal

Mobile, Ala, June 22.-There is on
exhibition in the Register office a
growing tobacco plant, four feet six
inches high, with well developed
leaves, free from weather or worm
marks. The plant was taken from
a five-acre field on the land of Mr.
Herman c. Roster, in Rosters pre-
cinct, Mobile county, on which a
crop of tobacco has been raised this
year as an experiment. The expert
in charge of the crop is Harry Der
nard, who induced Mr.. Roster 70 try
tobacco raising. Mr.. Bernard has
been identified with tobacco raising
in Florida and other states and after
demonstrating that the plant can be
successfully grown in this county,
he says that the soil and climate are
better west of Mobile than in any
place in the South, with the excep-
ton Of Kentucky, he has visited.
While the crop has been an expert
ment, it WAS grown for commercial
purposes and Mr.. Roster said yester
day that Bernard has found a ready
sale for the cured product The
curing is done in the open air and a
quantity of the tobacco has been pre-

seed was obtained from Turkey and
the tobacco obtained from il is high
grade and suitable for cigarettes
The land on which the tobacco was
grown was formerly used for the cuI-
tivatiOn Of potatoes, but mad been IN
cultivated for year before the crOp
of Turkish tobacco was put in The
plants were set close with the idea OF
keeping the leaves small, the grower
stating that this gives the tobacco a
better flavor The soil is sandy

ern part of Mobile county The seed
was sOwn in April and the whole field
is filled with strong plants, forming
a spectacle that has attracted many
people in the neighbOrhOod who are
interested in the outcome Of the ex-
pertinent. Next year il is proposed
by Mr.. Roster to put fifteen acres in
tobacco, and ii is likely that the sue
cess of, Mr.. Bernard in raising this
years crop will bring other planters
to the business and make a new and
important crop for Mobile county.

A dispatch to the Tribune from
Washington says that an era of good
feeling between the railroads and the
public with consequent benefcient eff
feet uopn the material welfare of the
United States. is predicted by Martin
A Knapp, chairman of the interstate
commerce commission. In an inter
view recently he expressed the belief
that present railroad conditions would
improve; that, in hfs opinion, an
abundance of capital would be found
in time to make the needed exten-
sions and improvements to carry on
the constantly gorWing traffic of the
country. He declared that in the fu-
ture. if he read the signs of the
times Alright, railroad men would be
found supporting, instead of oppos-
ing, well considered measure having
for their purpose the federal regJIla-
ton or control of commerce between
the states.
Chairman Knapp believes there will
be supplemental railroad legislation
but that it will have the approval OF
the railroad men as well as the pub
lie. He expressed the opinion that n
well considered law regulating the as
sue of future securities would in ef-
feet give an official sanction to the
certificates that greatly aid in their
sale by the assurance thereby given
to the buyer.
Mr.. Knapp said it was his heller
that the general railroad situation
would improve. He pointed out that
confidence in the integrity and value
of leading railroad securities had been
restored and that the danger OF fur
Their drastic legislation by the states
seems nearly to have disappeared.
Mr.. Knapp endorses the proposal 10
exempt railroads from the operation
of the Sherman antitrust law to the
extent at least Of permitting them TO
make pooling arrangements subject to
certain restrictions The belief pre-
walls in some quarters that II pooling
were permitted under governmental
supervision, a step would thus be TAX
en- in the direction Of nulHtying the
antitrust act as far as the railroads
are concerned, thereby removing the
inconsistencies in the enforcement OF
the act TO regulate commerce and the
act aimed at combinations in restraint
of trade.
Mr.. Knapp said that such a concert
of action between roads, through
legalized traffic associations. was alb
solutely necessary TO the suitable
conduct of railroad operations and -
together in the public interest

terial being needs every bit as much nourishment
as his wife's mental being. You must acknowl-
edge that there are very few college girls who
know how to keep house"
Il know it's hard to take up cooking and phil
osophy at the same time" the girl behind the
counter admitted, "but why couldn't girl learn
to cook and to keep house before she goes to
college?"
How could she? Before she goes to college
she spends all her time getting ready to pass the
entrance examinations, and when she gets out
her tastes are formed, she detests housekeeping,
and it is consequently too late to teach her"
But it seems to me-" the girl behind the
counter persisted, that housekeeping is instinc-
tive with woman, and that if woman were
put to it, she would take to it just naturally
as duck does to water
Nonsense said the foorwalker. "Dont YOU
have to learn to cook just as you have to learn
the formulas of mathematics"
Il suppose you do" she admitted. "But
there's one thing you certainly caat deny, and
that is that the girl who has been to college GER
tainly makes better mother"
''Why does she?"
'Wc in the first place, she has probably talk
en- courses in anatomy and hygiene and conse-
quently knows what is best for child's health.
She has studied psychology, and consequently
knows the best way to develop his mind WHY
should not the mother be educated as completely
as the school teacher? In fact, why should not
her education be higher, seeing that she is to be
with the child much longer than the school
teacher and consequently to have a much greater
influence in his Development"
The floor walker gasped. THAT sounds nrettv
well, but it seems to that a girl like thai
would be too full of theories to do the child
much good. She would be tempted to perform
all sorts Of experiments upon the poor little
creature, and to prove all her theories about edu-
cation, etc, by using her own helpless infant
a child brought up like that certainly deserves
a lot of pity. Look here, you take an unedu-
Gated woman, a woman who has never dabbIed
in the higher education and you will find that
her own mother instinct will bring up child
much better than all the theories that we're ever
invented"
Il don't believe it," she replied stubbornly.
81 didn't expect you would but it's a fact.
nevertheless Anyhow, it seems to me that we
are wasting our time in this argument, because
the college girl rule does not marry She
is too independent for the average man, too cool
and selfpossessed all the time, and so she gets
her degree of b, A., or NJ. A., or whatever it is,
= at the expense OF the eminenty more desirable
= degree OF NJ II. S."

@poilin0 the Cbilo

1t is really sad to see the self-denial of many
parents who are doomed to know How sharper
than serpents tooth it is to have thankless
child" And this overindulgence is unfair to
these same children, for, as the years bring good
sense, they bring also to many heart the sting
of regret for thoughtlessness and undutfuness,
the blame for much of which should lie at the
door of parents who, through fondness and fool
ishness, failed to exact that which was their due.
One cannot lay down hard and fast rule as to
how children should be trained it would be pre-
sumption to do so. Circumstances of life and
differences of temperament must enter in when
such matters are under consideration, but the few
little simple suggestions offered here can apply
to all.
A spoiled child is abomnation; all who have
ever met one must admit the fact. On the other
hand, there is no more charming and delightful
little person to be found than perfectly nat
ural, wemannered, unspoiled child; and either
of these results rests with the parents alone and
not with the children.
