WILSON GOING THROUGH
 DISTRICT WITH ROBSON
By WALTE R HARPER.

It Is announced that Congressman R. P. Hobson of the Sixth Alabama district will make a second tour of his district with party of agricultural experts. A num- Der of farmers institutes are to be held, beginning at Tuscaloosa next Tuesday.
 Secretary J. A Wilson, head of the ag- ricultural department of the United States, will be present at the first meet ing and will probably accompany MT. Hobson on the entire trip.
 The work that is being accomplished by Congressman Hobson in the Sixth Is of more than local importance and is being watched with interest by the entire coun- try. Two years ago the young congress- man from Alabama made his first tour of the district. That was an experiment. Newspapers and politicians north and south smiled at the idea-the Hobson idea-but before the two weeks trip had been concluded the department at Wash ington was taking notice and congress- men and senators from all sections or the country had their ears to the ground. It was being fully demonstrated that here was a practical work for the immediate benefit of the people at home-the hard working and the neglected farmer.
 Your correspondent accompanied Cap tain Hobson on that first trip. l can tes- tify that the daring young hero Of the navy approached the experiment he han planned for himself with no little trepi- dation. It was bold experiment and he was conscious that a critical nation was watching him and ready to criticize and exaggerate failure.
 The weather was stormy. The roads were almost impossible. Everything was against the securing of crowds at the m stitute meetings along the route Whlch was over the toughest and most inaccessl- ble portions of the district Most Of the trip was made by private. conveyance ana under great difficulties.
 MT. Hobson had secured the services or four of the best pracVcal men In the neld work of the agricultural department, and if was up to him to make showing. The first meeting was held during storm It had rained all day and a. storm broke over the little village of Aliceville while that first meeting was in progress, put the people came. The large hall was crowded to the stairway. So 1t was through the two weeks. The rain continued the entire time, but the farmers of the nine coun- ties of the district were hungering TOT knowledge and they came to the meeungs, The high officials at Washington re- ceived daily reports from the tour and were interested. They asked for details and got them.
 Even Hobson's political enemies In the district crowded around him and con- graduated him on having hit upon a method of being of practical service to his constituents. The highest compliment that has been paid him is the manner in which other congressman and senators over the country have adopted his method of trying to help the farmer improve his condition.
 The two weeks tour of the district two years ago was not the end of the work.

A Boon to Housewives.

Housekeeping, and especially the cook ing part of 1t, will be placed at a pre- mium-if the ingenuity of certain stove makers increases.
 The Michigan Stove company of Detroit and Chicago, makers of the celebrated Garland" stoves and ranges-some four years since introduced to the housewives of America striking innovation in the way of an elevated oven and broiler gas range-ah idea entirely original with the Garland people.
 The oven and boiler are placed on top of the range instead of below as formerly. This permits the operator to stand erect in a natural, comfortable position when using the oven, instead of stooping down in the back-breaking way One can readily see what wonderful convenience and comfort it affords.
 Already this novelty range has not only met with an enthusiastic reception wher- ever shown; and through it's popularity bids well to supplant the old style low built ovens; but has been extensively al- though weakly initiated.
 In the hesadvertising columns will be found the announcement of this new "Ghrland" gas range describing in detail its original and novel features. The Michigan Stove company, largest makers of stoves. ranges, gas ranges and appliances in the world, deserve great credit for their ef- forts in placing before all housewives this splendid bacl-saving range. Every one should investigate it thoroughly before buying range.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-04-18

The agricultural forces of the district were carefully organized for cooperative work and special men have been kept fin the district every day since to cooperate and advise with the farmers.
 MT. Hobson could not have selected more opportune time to attempt his ex- pertinent. The farmers of the south had begun to realize the importance of more thorough application of their mind and energy in the profession of tilling the soil. They had begun to realize the very vital importance of practical methods. They were hungering for more educa- tion. MT. Hobson and his corps of ex- perts offered it to them and they came for 1t greedily.
 The result has been wonderful and far reaching. The good effects have not been confined to the Sixth district. It has spread to the entire state and even be- yond. I feel safe In the assertion that the farmers have made better progress along practical lines during the past two years than In the ten years just preced- ing. Every honest man in Alabama must give MT. Hobson credit for some of this work
 The interest that is being taken in the individual farmer by the federal depart ment at Washington is encouraging and inspires pride and confidence. The agri- cultural department had not been as ef- fective as it might have been-indeed, the department officials had not learned just how to reach the farmer with something practical. Though the department had been established for his benett the farmer did not seem to be getting all that was due him from that source. Both the farm- CT and the department were responsible for this. The farmer was skeptlcal and in sense independent. The department hn vftfb failad to get in touch with the man in the field.
 Now it is different. The main work is being done by experts in the field and not in the department offices at Washington. Men if experience are following the men in the furrow, helping and suggesting. The farmer is listening gladly and is profiting. He respects the man who walks the plowed ground with him and shows a sincere desire to help him improve his crops and make moro money.
 Following this desire for greater knowl- edge comes more reading and the desire for closer communication with the outside world. The natural result is more rural free deliveries of mail, more and better schools.s better roads, rural telephone lines, better homes and more content ment among the boys who are reared on the farm.
 The personal interest taken in the work in Alabama by Secretary Wilson con- firms the importance of "Hobson's idea" That he is to give one of two weeks of his valuable time to the people of the Sixth district of Alabama is matter for congratulation on the part of these peo- | pie:
 Other prominent department officials who will go on this second tour are Dr. B. T. Galloway, chief of the bureau of plant industry; Dr. s. A. Knapp, who Is in charge of the farmers cooperative demonstration work In the south and Dr. George M. Rommel, animal husband man of the bureau of animal industry

WAITING FOR RAIN.
That Comes With the
Storm After the Drought.

Did you ever notice the differ
ence in your feelings when a long
drought breaks?
Everybody feels depressed-a lit
tie as if the crack of doom were
about four minutes away. Grass is
khaki instead of green. The shrub
berry is wilted. The tree leaves
hang dejectedly. Everything looks
as it would if the last rain had
fallen that would ever fall, and the
feeling that such may be the case
cannot wholly be fought off. Clouds
nice, gray black, damp looking
clouds-have gathered time and
again and filled you with hope, but
they drifted away after only stiff
breeze and maybe little lightning
and thunder.
This time it looks the same way.
A cool wind is blowing, but it can't
mean rain. That's just the way it
acted before when you got fooled.
It is lightning in the north and
east, and you hear a distant peal
of thunder. But that doesn't mean
anything, for it did that before,
There are clouds boiling up-a
rolly proscenium arch over a plain
drab curtain reaching to the hori-
zon.
That looks more hopeful, but
your heart is fighting against hope.
You are depressed and afraid to
get over it for fear you will just
have to go to the trouble of getting
depressed again.
Then comes a gust of wind-a
sharp, defiant gust-and there are
Wet drops in it. Your heart stops
beating for moment through
downright deliciousness of 10y. But
you won't let yourself be too
There! It's raining cats and
dogs! Get that window shut! Bring
In that chair off the porch.
Now you can take deep breath
and resume the plans for the fu-
ture that you had left off involun-
tarily and hopelessly, week or ten
days ago, your whole existence hav-
ing been unconsciously merged into
one waking and sleeping day and
night prayer for rain.
You smile with the JOY of child.
Things that looked ominous to you
a day ago-why, you can laugh
right in their faces now. 1t has
rained! 1t has rained. And living
once more is worth while.-Chicago
News.
