YUVHE SEASON of the country revival or pro
tracted meeting" is again at hand, and it
will be a bad day for the South if it ever
abandon the custom of giving special attention at
certain seasons to the spiritual side of mans ma
ture. Emotionalism is often carried to dam
aging extreme and often men of different denomi-
nations or elements forget the great principles
which unite them in discussing the non-essentials
which divide them, just as ministers sometimes
emphasize other matters strongly as to over
shadow the foundation principle of Fathers
love. These are minor evils which will gradual
ly right themselves, however; and let hope that
the rural South will ever remain it is now, per-
haps the most Christian section of America and
that our Southern farmer with his increasing
prosperity will never become like the rich farm
er in the parable whose full barns absorbed all
his attention and left no time for the things of
the higher life. Our quotation from Mr.. War
rington Dawsons "The Scar" on page contains
truth that can not be too seriously considered.
You should keep the garden going all winter,
but if you do not, don't let it grow up in weeds
this fall. If nothing else is to be planted, clean
Off each plat as soon as the crop natures, and
SOW in turnips and crimson clover or rape. This
will give you supply of greens and insure green
food for the chickens next spring when they need
it most.
Few pessimistic prophets have less reason back
Oh their forebodings than have those mere men
who foresee that within a generation or two
America will not be able to produce food enough
TO supply the population. It is a conservative es-
innate to say that every Southern State could
easily increase its production of agricultural sta
ples-not of any one CROP of course,-ten fold.
II any one doubts this, let him look about and see
the vast amount of land wholly untitled the
small yields per acre much that is cultivated
and the vast quantities of wasted feeds stuff that

New York Central is one of the latest transporta-
ton lines to establish experiment farms, and tho
statement made by one of its officials is worth re-
printing:
1--WE have here a platform on which the
New York Central and the farmers can stand
together Prosperous farmers along our
lines mean increased traffic These is no al
truism about that. 1t simply means that 1t
is good business for the railroad to do all 1t
can to increase the products of the farm and
by moderate expense and thought, can make
these conditions radically better for the farm
er, it is plainly in its own interest to do So
That is why we have planned the three farm
stations here in New York State
1t hurts us to say it, but it's a fact which we
might as we'll acknowledge, that Southern
farmers have the reputation in the business world
of being slower pay than farmers anywhere else
in the United States. There may have been some
excuse for this in the misfortunes of war and re-
construction times, but there is no excuse for 1t
to-day, and must get out of 1t right away.
Every farmer who either refuses to pay debt or
fails entirely to pay it. must not only lose his
self-respect, but he hurts the reputation OF the
whole South. Along with what they doing In
better farming methods, prettier homes, and bet
r ter roads and better schools. hope that every
member Of The Progressive Farmer and Gazette
Family will try to make reputation for prompt
settlement of all accounts. 1t is good thing TO
do ones account. and 1t is also a patriotic
duty we owe our home land.
The big fact should Away keep in mind In
regard to dairying is that other line of farming
helps much in making the land rich The May
number of the Outlook tells an interesting story
of how Mr.. James w. Robertson, the foremost
man in Canadian agriculture. interested the Can
adams in dairy work. One OF his most effective
arguments was the fact that the hay from two
hundred acres of land carries off more soil fer
tility than there is carried Off i'm six million dol
lars worth of butter. the same thing being true
with regard to cheese compared with hay
Wherever there is dairying the lands are building
up and the profits secured in this way make the
business doubly attractive
