Eating for Prosperity.

The raisin growers Of Fresno, Cal,
had profitable industry. AS the de-
mand for their product increased they
raised prices. New growers came into
the field. For time there was great
prosperity, but at length the demand
fell off; there were too many raisins
prices declined sharply, and, with their
warehouses filled with tons of raisins
which nobody>wanted, the situation be
came desperate.
at this interesting crisis man of
genius proposed that the people of Cal
ifornia should come to the rescue of a
languishing community. It was esti-
mated that if every inhabitant of the
State should eat raisins freely for a
single day the surplus stock would be
disposed of. Californians have much
pride in their commonwealth and they
are fond Of homegrown raisins also
at fair prices. 1t follows that
raisin day was a decided success and
that a great hole was made in the visi-
Die supply of the fruit.
Merchants, manufacturers, distribu-
ters, sociclogists and econmists may
draw such world-old lessons from
this true story as they may, but they
will have to admit that the consumer
played the role usually assigned to
him. By denying himself he punished
the Fresno extortioners. By good
naturedly overlooking himself he
mitigated their troubles. He was the
key to the situation, the one indispen-
sable person. viii he be forgotten
hereafter?

Six million picked men in the flower
Of youth are in arms in Europe. They
are all strong men. those who would be
most useful in industry. Great Brit
ans war costs, including national debt
service. are $4,000, 600 a year, and
she is planning, by desperate taxa
ton which viii make more papers, to
spend an additional $3.50, OO0. coo. For
paupers she pays almost as much as
for elementary schools; her war costs
are nearly six times as great as her
elementary school costs.
An even more bitter contest over a
greater war deficit which must be met
by increased taxation is going on in
Germany; and in Berlin and other Ger
man cities there are poverty and desti-
tuition unmatched in extent with us.
France has an interest change of $50 a

finances. She has little grain to ex-
port to pay interest. and famine is
perpetual.
Great Britain does at least in her
new war budget propose to tax wealth.
Here, where consumption Is taxed ard
the cost.of living maintained at an al
most unbearabla level, two-thirds of
all cur revenues, outside OF postal re-
ceipts are used in war expenditure,
past or future. We pay more for war
in one year than the Standard Oil Com
pany has paid in dividends in its entire
existence. The constant drain makes
poverty directly by wastefuI expendi-
ture, it makes poverty indirectly by
the method of tariff taxation, which
puts many dollars into the Golfers of
production trusts for every one that
reaches the Treasury.

Years Of Peanuts.

The peanut crop of this country for
1908 was valued at $4,000, 600. Yet
the "goober. " as it is commonly mis-
called, became of commercial impor-
tance only as far back as 1870. 1t
would be well if peanut politicians could
develop as rapidly and usefully.
The peanut was known to some ex-
tent in colonial days and probably came
from tropical America. Until recently
American peanuts were grown chiefly
in Virginia, Tennessee. the Carolinas
and Georgia. Now hey come from all

prairie and rolling land in it's changing variety of soil-soil capable of producing almost anything which grows, from the highest grade of tobacco to the most nourishing kind of grass and clover for cattle, land enough for thousands of families to become rich upon, now lying idle and producing nothing.
 In a conversation l had with one of the professors at the Alabama Poly brought out that Alabama could easily produce s50,000 worth of varigated crops and stock annually more than 1t does now If it had the people. Just think of thati wish that l could sufficiently inl- press this fact upon all those who are continuously crying for new capital and industries to come to the state and forget that the capital is here already. The lands, acres of diamonds waiting for the diggers, the tillers of the soil.
 Speaking of Auburn, where I had the pleasure of meeting the entire administra- tive faculty, I cannot praise too much the work of this great institution under Its very able president, Dr. Thach, and his conferes, Professors Dugger, Gray, Macintosh and Cary. The agricultural experimental station, under its director, Professor Dugger. and its superintendent, MT. Cawthen, Is proving to the world what Alabama soil will produce by proper and painstaking husbandry, while Pro- lessor Gray shows that our state can raise as fine cattle. sheep and hogs as any country in the world. Each of these learned men realizes the great need of the state-an influx of practical. strictly white farmers, and they will enthusiastic cally support and help any movement in that direction. I am leaving next week for the northern part of our state to {tx,tto fhA xrnrr T 11,,da arfo o1-a,, and I may add that MT. Wilkinson. our secretary of agriculture, has pledged his support and active cooperation to my undertakings. Yours very truly,
