Beuinninu a New Crop

Down in lower Georgia blowing and
planting has been in progress for some
weeks, but the plows are just starting
I'D in this gable-end of Cherokee, Ga.
Cotton planting must wait until freezes
are over and done with for season, and
corn must wait until cotton is put in
the ground along with high-priced fer
tilizers.
So there is still some opportunity to
reason with our farming classes as to
the crying need of good preparation for
the soil, and the planting of such food
crops as will be needed to support the
family, without buying in town.
A merchant remarked to me the other
day that farmers were the real people
to be blamed for exorbitant food prices.
"They get away from the farms or go
to public works, just as soon as possible,
and when they do farm they do not ,cul-
tivate what they need for their own use.
and cattle feed, not to speak of having
anything to share for anybody else,
which would pay them well and give
them financial relief at various times
was forced to agree with the most
of what was said, and / am here now
to counsel with the farmers to plant po-
tatoes and vegetables in abundance; to
raise poultry and their own meat; to
arrange now for forage crops, so that
they will not feel obliged to sell off all
dry cattle as soon as next winter rolls
around. No section can farm success
fully which does not include cattle rails
ing as a prime factor of successful farm
ing. The far west is eager to buy our
cotton seed meal to raise choice beef
cattle and we curtail our cattle supply
and buy meat from the far west.
Surely the time has come to reflect on
all these problems and profit by expert

Hannah Folly In New York City

A young woman who dances and

We hear a great deal of this con-

man makes considerable money by this
travesty and this unnatural effort on
the stage. and one is wasting sympathy
perhaps. to say that decent women are
sorry for her. But no mother with
natural love for her daughter could
bear such needless and offensive ex-
posture OF her child's form and atti-
tudes in theatre in such an ignoble
play or ontre performance as this APP

mad! Where is the limit?
If she can personate a rooster, why
not a billy goat? There are many kinds
of dogs in the world. Why not dress
up and caper about like a greyhound
or a fox terrier?

TARIFF NO FACTOR
IN PRICE ADVANCES
Republicans So Declare in
Senate Special Report.
HIGH COST OF LIVING INQUIRY
Democratic PrOberx Protest Against
Character of Finding-Most ImpOr-
tant Cause for Upward Trend OF
Prices-Minority's Views to BE Re-
Ported-UniOns Not Responsible.

The Republican members OF the Senate
High Cost OF Living Committee have
absolyed the tariff law from any blame
for the upward trend of prices. and have
placed the responsibility upon a variety
Of causes.
The Democrats on the committee do
not agree with their Republican brethren.
and have protested against the char
acter of the finding. They kicked so
vigorously that the committee finally
authorized them TO employ an expert to
so over the majority report and prepare
the minority's Views for submission to
the Senate.
Among the causes contributing to the
high prices, as Senator Lodge and his
Republican colleagues on the committee
view the situation. are:
Some High-priee Causes
Increased cost of production of farm
products by reason of higher land values
and higher wages.
Increased demand for farm products
and food.
Shifting of the population from food
producing 10 food-consuming occupa-
tons and localities.
immigration TO food-consuming local
tiles
Reduced fertility Of land. resulting in
lower average production or in increased
expenditures for fertilization.
Increased banking facilities In agricul-
turai localities, which enable farmers &c
hold their crops and market TO the best
advantage.
Reduced supply convenient TO transpor-
tation facilities OF such commodities as
timber.
Cold storage plants. increased cost of
distribution, Industrial combinations. or
ganization OF producers or of dealers, ad-
vertising, increased money supply. over
capitalization, and higher standard of
living.
The committee does not attempt to Sc
lect any one cause as contributing more
to the general higher prices than an
other but from the Importance given in
the report 10 the increased cost Of farm
products, it Is apparent it deems this
factor the most important In the general
upward movement
Largest Advances I'm Farm Products.
The committee found that wholesale
prices of the principal commodities in the
United States in March, 1910, were I'll
per cent above wholesale prices for the
same commodities in March, 1900. The
largest advances were In farm products.
Hogs and hops jumped more than 100
per cent The advance in farm products,
the committee asserts, was twice as
great as the advance in any other food.
