GOOD MONEY IN
EARLY CABBAGE

This article has been written for us
by the VIM. c. Geraty Co., of Youngs
Island, S. Z. Mr.. VIM. q. Geraty, the
founder OF this firm, was the poineer
grower of early cabbage in the south
ern states for shipment to the northern
markets. He started i'll business in
1868 and has always been considered
an authority on the growing of early
cabbage In the south;
"In past years the growing of cab
bage in the early spring for market has
been confined almost entirely to the
sea coast of the South Atlantic and
Gulf States, for the reason that growers
of cabbage away from the sea coast
could not produce hardy plant which
would stand the frosts and freezes of
early spring. 1t has now been de-
monstrated and proved that cabbage
plants grown on the outlying sea ISL
ands of South Carolina coast are par
ticularly tough and hardy. These
plants are grown in the open fields in
the late fall and early winter, they are
frost proof and can be transplanted TO
the open field in all sections of the
southern states during winter months,

remedy for the present era Of high

Patterson is young man of force. He
has ideas and the faculty of stating
them effectively.
"The solution of the problem of the
cities, the high cost of living among
them,n declared Gov. Patterson, lies in
the millions of acres of rich land, now
idle and uncultivated, in the West and
the south. More particularly in the
South, for hold that today the South
offers greater opportunity TO the man
who Is willing to work than the West
or any other section of the country.

South are incompatible. No land
yields more plentifully, when properly
cultivated, than the farm country of
the South. immigration TO farm lands

BILL INTRODUCED
IN CONGRESS FOR

Representative Garner, of Pennsyl.

great clamor from a large class in the
west for the removal of the duty on

most solid on this proposition. 1t is
freely asserted that the meat trust is
responsible for the high price of meat
to the consumer, but when il is propos-

the tariff reformers have always
loudly complained.
AS the country grows older and a
greater proportion of the food products
grown here are needed for home con-
sumption, the demand for the free Ad-
mission of these products from foreign
countries will increase, and the farmers
will Use up in arms against it as their
representatives in congress did at the
bill introduced by Representative Gar
ner, of Pennsylvania. The tariff strug-
gle in England in the middle Of the
last century came of the protest of the
working people i'll the factories against
tax on food products. This was the
fight that Golden and Bright led and
which resulted in the British free trade
that was heralded as an advanced step
in political economy which all the
world must sooner or later adopt. Now
British manufacturers are beginning
to feel the pinch of foreign competition
in their home markets and one of their
chief representatives, Joseph Chamber
lain, former disciple of Bright, is fore
most in demanding restored tariff.
The farmers of this country have
long clamored for reduction of duties
on manufactured goods, but they have
also protested against free wool and free
hides. They will protest equally as
strongly against the free importation
of food products. And if that is insist
ed on by the factory workers and city
dwellers it will give q new phase to
tariff discussion and cause new align
ments ON the question of free trade and
protection.--Nashyille American.

To Celebrate Completion of Canal
1t appears that there is to be an
international exposition to celebrate
the completion of the Panama Canal,
the greatest undertaking in known
human history. San Francisco is
the bidder for the locale of the ex-
position. The capital of the United
States also pleads her right as the
seat of government of the nation.
San Francisco is very remote from
the center of population, and any
national exposition is largely depend
ent on gate money. Washington is
forty minutes from Baltimore, three
hours from Philadelphia, five hours
from New York, and less than
twenty-four hours from half the
population of the United States. The
average time to San Francisco is per-
haps four days. 1t would seem par
ticularly fitting that an international
exposition in which the mechanical
and artistic displays of the whole
world will be spread out in celebra-
tion of the completion of the Canal
should be held at the capital of the
country of its inception and accom-
plishment. 1t is said that exPresi
dent Roosevelt will be asked to accept
the presidency of the great exposition
enterprise, but it is not improbable
that he will be president in way
more familiar to his experience when
the Exposition takes place in 1915.
