The Call of the West.

Congressman. Stevens of Minnesota
has been comparing statistics with
the officials of the agricultural de-
partment and concludes that the
farmers of the West are in need of
$4,000 harvest hands. The cry for
help is usually heard at this time of
the year. The farmers of the West
always need men; they never get
enough. However, they are a little
more particular now than they were
a few years ago as to what sort of
men are sent them. They have found
from bitter experience of former har-
vest seasons that the tramp laborer
is worse than no one at all. Farmers
now demand that their helpers come
to them with an intention to stay at
least long enough to learn something
of the requirements of the work and
to acuiure some degree of efficiency
by experience. The fly-by-night
workman is wanted in no industry.
least Of all upon the farm at harvest
time.
There can be no question that many
thousands of Americans would imme-
diately better their condition were
they to answer this call from the
West, if they would leave the blight
ing influences of congested centers
and enter into the life of the free,
open country. Some 65 per cent of
the people of the United States live
in cities and villages, leaving but
meagre 35 per cent. to produce the
country's food supplies. The proper
ton is unfortunate and has become
a growing menace.
James ]. Hill, who is an economist
as well as a railroad wizard, says
that the present drift to the cities
will continue until the food supply
begins to lag behind the demand.
Then it will take no argument to
persuade people that the country Of
fers them more return for their ef-
forts than do the centers of popula-

The meeting is growing in interest

next week. The song service is i'm

surrounding country will find a warm

preach for right against wrong, but
this saying will not apply to the case
of prohibition against the dispensary.
for there are many people who are
against both and l am one of them.
l do not wish to say anything from
a political standpoint and 1 have
heard no one defending the dispen-
sary in the name of Christianity,
therefore 1 have said nothing about
it. but I hate the dispensary law be-
cause it has made many citizens of
the State in which / was born, and
where my home has always been,
liquor dealers and providers for the
and that the profits from the dis
pensary have been so used that the
poor who are unable to educate their
children are compelled to partake of
them or be- prohibited from sending
their children to the public schools is
still greater cause for hatred of the
law: but of the two evils it is the
lesser, for in spite of all denials and
lack Of intention on the part of those
who advocate them, prohibition and
teetotalism charge God with foolish
ness and injustice, for He created the
alcohol, and it was He who first
placed wine and strong drink within
the reach of men, and His promise
to give them as a reward for obedi-
ence Is good reason why Christians
should feel that they have a perfect
right to all they need Of them for
any purpose save drunkenness.
To be accused of mockery and
worse than mockery only reminds me
that st. Paul was accused of insanity.
that the eleven on the day of Pente-
cost were accused of drunkenness,
and that our blessed Lord Himself
was accused of being in league with
the evil one, and 1 am thankful that
l can, without any i'll feeling, initiate
their example of patience and for
bearance, but to have any one think
l am politician working for the dis
pensary in order to get money to ed
ucate my children is a mistake which
l cannot allow to pass without cor
rection. Soher

Convict Has Peculiar Death.

Anderson, Aug. 14-John Dean
Hall, negro about 43 years old,
died at one of the county convict
camps a day or so ago under rather
peculiar circumstances. He had
made an attempt to escape from the
gang late in the afternoon, when
one of the guards fired on him. The
bullet went wide of the mark. how
ever, never having been intended to
strike the negro. He ran on for 80
or 40 yards and fell in a clump of
bushes, and when found a short time
afterward was paralyzed from his
waist down and helpless. A physi-
clan was summoned and declared
death to be the result of apoplexy,
probably brought on by excitement.
The coroner made an investigation,
but after taking a few sworn state
ments of those who had seen the
negro's condition before his death
ordered that he be buried. Hall was
serving a sentence of ninety days.

Cow Feed Costs $40 Less a Year II
the South.

While the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture figures that il
costs forty-five dollars per year to
feed dairy cow, the Georgia Expert.
ment Station selected four herds in
different sections of the State and
had the owners keep exact record OF
all feed. They found that it cost
thirty-five dollars per cow, and this
can be cut down, for very little silage
was fed.
There Is no better market for dairy
products than our Southern cities.
The twenty-fourth report of the Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture
says that fifty Southern cities use an
nually $22,957,SS2 worth of Northern
and Western dairy products, and VIC
can produce it on our farms cheaper
than they can on theirs.
Butter takes practically nothing
from the soil, and when we feed
cotton seed meal with our home
grown feeds we put back into the
SOIL in the manure far more than is
taken out by hay and corn as feed
for the cows.
We have been dairying on our farm
seven years. We have a very neat
dairy barn to hold twenty cows, with
cement floor, stanchions, etc., silo.
dairy house and herd of pure
bred cows. We have not invested a
cent in these improvements except
what the cows have earned for us.
Our farm is easily producing one bale
OF cotton per acre without the use
of any commercial fertilizer except
potash and phosphoric acid, where
1t originally produced not more than
one-half bale with complete fertilizer.
