A CURE FOR PANICS.
By Richard Wolfe.

If we make provision so that the wealth.
owner can get money directly from the govern
ment without the intervention of banks, we
release the business world from the interest
charge and, at the same time, insure an ample
volume Of money.
The interest charge that the business world
pays the banks is charged up to the consumer
and so the people pay it. The whole people
are benefited by giving to land owners the
power to monetize land values because it Will
take the interest factor out of price, by giving
us ample volume Of money.
The invention Of money has made it pos.
sible TO enjoy individuaism and socialism at
the same time; but shortage of the money
volume. has made individualism SO intense
that many benefits of society are lost to us.
Before the advent Of money collective owner
ship prevailed almost to the entire exclusion
of private property. Until money was in
vented private ownership did not prevail to
any great extent, because without money in
which to conserve our wealth in the beginning
of our accommodations we could not have pre-
served it. Nor could we have had leisure for
self culture and mental development.
The South Sea islanders are not being
crushed by "eapitalism,' nor is China,

This is the busy time Of year. Time counts.
Farm work must often be done in hurry;
rain may be coming, grass may be growing
things may make every hour Of daylight
valuable, and every minute wasted in need
less labor serious handicap.
1t is often astonishing how much time is
lost in looking for needed things which are
not where we thought they were or where
they should be.
Have place for everything, and then see
that every man, woman or child on the place
who ever uses these things puts them back
in place after use.
When you need hammer, hoe, shovel, pillow
point, wrench or anything else in a hurry be
sure you know just where to lay hand on it
in the dark.
You will save worry, prevent idleness of
teams, save crops, save time-and time is
money
The question is often asked: GLOW deep
should shallow cultivation be made?"
This depends on several conditions It is
safe to say that four inches is about as deep
such cultivation should ever go. If the
land was broken shallow this depth Of cutiva-
ton is too deep Cultivate one-half the depth
Of the breaking, if the land was not broken
more than eight inches deep, is good rule
The depth of cultivation will depend much
on dryness Of the soil

NOTES FROM THE SOUTHERN
RURALIST.

The peach crop is good. All fruit is doing
well this year
AS a result the crop boomer is again abroad
in the land Here is the place for the fool
killer" to get in his work. Of all the fool
things frail human beings can do, we know
of none more utterly foolish than for men
who grow crops to indulge in brag estimates
Of yields.
The men who do most of this Dragging are
naturally SO optimistic that they overestimate
They can't help exaggerating. They brag
about expected yields which are seldom actu-
ally harvested. But the brag estimate gets
into the papers and into market gossip. It
is always used to depress prices. The crop
boomer and every producer loses as a result.
If crops are good, thank Heaven for the
blessing, and pray that the crop boomer may
see light before his fool tactics have ruined
prices.

LABOR AND INCOME OF THE FARMER
AGAIN.

hours before noon and eight hours afternoon.
This, of course, is somewhat Of joke, though
in some rare cases it is really done. But
know, by personal experience and observation,
that the average farmer in this part of the
country, during pillow time has his pillow really
moving, just about ten hours a day. besides
doing his chores. Being practical farmer,
and surrounded by other practical farmers, |
know whereof I spead. (This very day,
June g [ have plowed corn ten hours and am
now writing by lamp light)
A good way to figure out the net income Of
a farmer, in order to compare it with the
wages Of other laborers, is to figure up the
total value of all his year s crops and then
deduct all expenses such as feed for all Of
his livestock, board for himself and all his
help, wear and tear on teams, harness and
implements and fair interest on his in
veStment.
Once upon a time, about fifteen years ago,
[ took pains to make a pretty close estimate
on our business for year, on the above plan.
At that time, wife and I owned a farm and
outfit worth something over $4,000. We were
in debt for part of it and were paying seven
per cent on our debts. Hence, I figured our
capital as being worth per cent all through.
We were both younger and stronger then than
now, and were anxious to finish paying for
our home Hence we worked very hard. |
did more work than I would expect any hired
hand to do, and wife did more than she would
require Of hired girl.
| figured my wages by the day and that Of
my wife by the week, board for both Of us
included. [ found, on balancing accounts, that
I had about fifty cents a day and board, for
300 days work during the year, while wife
had about $3.50 per week for fifty weeks. eve
did little visiting or picnicking occasionally
The seven per cent on the unincumbered part
Of our capital raised the amount to something
near $500 per year. AS we had three small
children to feed, and a family of five to
clothe out Of that amount, paying off the
mortgage was rather a slow job. "But we got
there, all the same" I know that some of our
neighbors were then doing better than we
were, while a whole lot of them we're not doing
so we'll. We were doing general farming, and
besides, we're selling butter, eggs, chickens,
garden truck and considerable amount of
fruit. Our total income looked pretty big,
but the net proceeds were small.
The boosted independence of the farmer is,
in reality, pretty nice thing, but most of us
don t make much clear money. | long to see
the day when farmers can earn better wages
too. Also, when eight hours per day will be
sufficient Farm labor ought to be as we'll

it will. So would cutting the tongue out at

Four WEEKS from today the result OF
the presidential election of 1908 will
have been known and when the country
will be showing signs of settling down
to normal conditions. The democratic
party today presents more formidable
front than st any time since Grover
Clevelsnd's first election, it being more
solidly united aud exempt from the d.
visions and dissatisfaction apparent
among the republicans. That Mr.. Bryan
is gainiog ground every day is conceded
by many prominent members Of the
party opposing him, and their anxiety
is apparent. The action Of President
Roosevelt il foisting Mr., Taft upon his
party is still resented by representative
republicans, and while such may may
not vote for Mr.. Bryan, they are in an
apathetic state from which they are not
likely to be aroused during the prsssnt
campaign.
