Too Many Hands Between Producer
And Consumer.

The fact that the grower and ship
of what the consumer pays for them
is a matter that interests all Southern
shippers. Much Of this loss is caus-
ed by rascally commission men. Many
years ago my first shipment Of winter
head lettuce went to a man in Balti-
more who reported sale of it that net
ted me about one cent a head. 1
found out a few days later that one
consumer bought some of that very
lettuce and paid 20 cents a head for
it. My next shipment went to anoth-
er merchant, who kindly let me net
rs cents per dozen.
The best way out of this is the or
ganizatiOn of the selling exchanges
that are now so successful in Virginia
and Maryland. If compelled to ship
to a commission merchant, look into
his commercial rating and his charac-
ter for honest dealing, and never ship
to a man who tells you he can get
better prices than other competing
merchants. He may get better prices
at times, but you will not get them
1t would seem that the home ham,
per" of assorted vegetables shipped
direct to consumers should be a
means for the grower and consumer
to get nearer together. If the trucker
would advertise in the city papers,
saying that he will send such and such
amounts Of vegetables assorted in car
riers direct to consumers at a fixed
price, I believe that a good private
trade could be built up in this way,
cash in advance always being requir-
ed. One customer we'll pleased would
soon lead to more. Growers, Us a rule
are too much afraid of printers ink.
There is nothing equal to advertising
to make one and his business known.

Coming out after services I met a

and if God would spare Sodon for

"fhe Land of OppOrtunity--Who
Shall Possess It?"

Recognition of the fact that the
South is land of wonderful opportu-
nlty-indeed to the farmer the land
OF opportunity lis becoming general.
About year ago Secretary of Agri-
culture James Wilson told the Editor
of The Progressive Farmer and Ga
zette, that with good farming average
southern lands would be worth 500
an acre in six or seven years. We have
printed, too, the conviction Of a lead
ing Iowa stockman that the South is
the live stock country of the future.
IT has not been long since Golfers
Weekly spoke of the South as "The
Next WDSt' Better Still. Southern
farmers are themselves coming to
realize undrcamed- possibilities in
the land which they own. Big corn
crops have become so common as TO
attract little attention, unless they are
very big. Indeed when 500 BOYS in

ing Camp.

New York, May 10.-Jim Corbett,
unless he changes his plan, will leave
New York the first of next week for
Jeffries' training camp, where he will
assume charge of the task of prepar-
ing the big fellow for the Johnson
fight.
Corbett is in pretty fair condition
himself and says that after he has
been at Jeffries' camp for ten days or
two weeks, he will be able to make
things hum in the spring.
If Corbett is allowed to have undis-
puted authority at the camp, it is be-
lievcd he will make several important
suggestions among them being the
engagement of one or two rugged
hcavy-Weights, "Who can mix it up
with Jeffrics in earnest" Corbetts S
friends say he favors the engagement
Of "A man like Kaufman, Barry, Flynn
or Ross, who can hit hard and is also
"ig and strong enough to receive
heavy blows without flinching.
That kind of work, in Corbclt's
opinion, would do Jcffries more good
than light sparring, but it remains to
tie seen whether Jeffries accepts this
advice with favor or not.

one county average 70 bushels Of corn
to the acre, it is evident that the
South is, as we have said, the real
corn belt. Two bales of cotton to the
acre is now recognized as an attain
able ideal, and some men make more.
Men are making hogs in the South for
three or four cents a pound and sell
ing them for 10 cents or more.
Yes, the South is the land Of opopr-
tunity for the alert, intelligent, pro-
gressve farmer. All over it there are
waiting golden opportunities for such
farmers to acquire wealth and to do
their part in making this land of ours
what it should be-the fairest and
most fruitful farming section in Amer
lea.
The one great question of today Is:
who is going to profit by these op-
portunities?" Who shall profit by
them, admits of no question. They
rightfully belong to the farmers who
are now tending Southern soils, and
to their sons. If these farmers and
farm boys neglect their rightful heri-
tage, and do not bring to their farm
work the trained mind and the earn
est purpose which are necessary to
success in any work, we may depend
upon it that people from other sec

the opportunities, which they
neglect. Now, we are glad to see
what we wish to see, above all else,
is an awakening of the farmers who
belong in the South to the possibili-
ties that lie latent in their soils--to
see them set about studying the
science of agriculture. improving their
methods, taking a deeper interest in
their work, and SO getting their right
full share of the wealth that good
farming in the South is sure to pro-
duce. So to every reader we would
make this appeal. Begin right now
to do better farming, to get better
stock and tools, to make each days
labor count for more, to plant better
seeds, to prepare the soil better and
cultivate the crops more thoroughly,
above all, to build up your soil and
keep it fertile.
For those who will do these things
there are waiting splendid opportuni-
ties and wonderful rewards.
Men and boys of the South today,
will you improve these opportunities
and get your share of these rewards,
or will you go on in half-hearted
fashion and leave them to others ?''-

Some Random Thoughts.

The writer has taken q long vaca-
tion during which time it has been
very hard to find opportunity to keep
up these columns. From now on he
hopes to present some feature of farm
work, or Union endeavor each week,
and earnestly asks for contributions
from the readers of the Watchman
and Southron to make this depart
ment more attractive.

In conclusion: Pardon a personal
note. but from some letters I have re-
ceiVed, 1T may be we'll to say in these
columns, publicly what l have said
privately to every one who has asked
me about 1t: / am out of politics. At
the earnest request of several friends
two years ago, / halfway promised
to be in the race for the legislature
this summer. Since then honors, not
of my seeking, have been conferred
on me by my fellow members of the
Farmers Union, and by voice and pen
l have been permitted to help in the
grand work for the possession of "The
Land of Opportunity" by it's rightful
heirs. the boys and girls whose ances-
tors hewed out homes in the savage
"iidernt SIS. TO se': this country bios
som ike the rose and to feel that
am helping on this glorious work is as
much honor as any man could wish.
TO give up this work for legislative or
political honors would in the circum-
stances do more harm to the farmers
cause than any good 1 might hope to
accomplish in politics. For it would
be confirming the suspicious Of those
who see politics in every move of the
farmers for their co-ope rative better
ment.

This naturally leads to the second
clipping. 'The Land of Opportunity
Who Shall Possess it?"
In this connection, the Editorial re-
ply in The State this week to the
Landless Man" is we'll worth consid-
ering. If as Secretary Wilson says
average Southern farm lands will be
worth 800 per acre in six or seven
years, the man who does not own
land should be looking around for a
home right now, and he should be
willing to buy 25 acres rather than
not own a home, because he can not
be big landed proprietor And he
should not do AS some have done, re-
fuse cheap land because it was $50
