ABANDONED FARMS

From the Commercial Poultry
 As a youngster-not a chicken as in chicken lore the world oftentimes im- plies-well do we remember of the older folks telling of the devastation brought about by the civil war; of the abandoned lands of Virginia that were once like gar dens and yielded bountiful crops whose impoverished soil was then and is to this day lying idle. Many such farm may be purchased for s1O to $15 per acre. but the clearing away of the undergrowth and restoring the land to It's former fertility would of necessity cost considerable. The southland. tho past two years. has had a wonderful awakening. and by no means is poultry raising the least thought of in restoring that part of the country to the position she once occupied. "Ole vir- ginny." Tennessee, Georgia and other states are looking for the poultry indus try to point the way for better things.
 Some years passed. We heard apd read of the abandoned farms in New England. Who could imagine of farms so near the greatest market of this country lying idle. and those old substantially built New England homes remaining silent. unoccu- stances, is thin, but for poultry raising nothing better could be found. The poultry business points the way for these farms to be occupied.
 A more recent date, in our own state. Ohio, tho boys would grow up and the glare of the city called them; the folks grew old, and leaving their farms would move to town or village. In Ohio at the present time farms may be purchased in certain localities for less than the build ings cost. The would-be chicken farmer could do worse than settle on one of these places
 We come farther west. They now tell us Iowa is decreasing in population. We wonder why? Is 1t possible that im- migration to the southwest and to the far northwest and to Canada is increas- ing at the expense of a state who few short years ago was considered . part of the new west? The quest of something new may be the cause, or the combining of small farms into large estates, made possible by improved machinery capable of doing the work of an army of men. The natural inclination Is for a man to make home for his family-a home he can call his own. The land barons Of some of the western states hase pushed many out. and burdening under the yoke of rented property. these same have sought homes in the city or elsewhere in the country. There can be little satisfac- ton in living on a rented place and hav- ing just a mere existence for ones work or farming on the share plan. few hundred dollars would buy one of these abandoned farms of the country. In
 time such farms can be brought to good | state of cultivation. While restoring the
 land to its former productivensss, en-
 gazing in some line like the poultry
 business will give an income from the
 start
 To those who would leave the farm ex- pecting to find haven in the city should
 consider well before taking such . step. The city doesn't afford the independence

The Art of Banjo Playing

"I have read many interesting g articles in northern papers about the banjo and banjo players" said an old music lover. "and the consensus of opinion is that the negro seldom plays with skin and that comparatively few negroes use the banjo at all I would like to hear Polk Miller on this sub ject. No one knows the ante- belIum negro better than Miller and no one is more at home on the banjo than he
 About 20 years ago heard mu- sician in banjo recital. His name was Anderson. He was Q gentleman oi musical education and general culture and on the banjo he was nothing short of a virtuoso. He played Beethoven sonatas and other classic music; and nothing but artistic compositions. MT Anderson was accompanied by the piano and he drew high class audiences in New York, Boston. Baltimore, Rich mond, Atlanta and New Orleans"
 Apropos of banjo performances James Conn.,, to the New York Sun. says ir part:

In my travels have never met a engro who might be classed as good banjo player. Oc- casionally I have seen banjos the other side of Mason and Dixon's line. The performers, however. were unskilful.

Proud of Being British Subjects

Canada Is a delightful country in which to spend a summer vacation" said Jchn H. Frye. president of the Traders National bank, who returned few days ago from his first visit to the British Dominion.
 T used to hear a good deal about a growing sentiment in Canada In favor of annexation to the United States. In fact, used to think that the time was not far distant when that part of the British possessions would come under the Amer ican flag. But a visit to Canada quickly changes that view. I found the Cana dians intensely loyal to the mother coun- try. They love the British flag and are proud to speak of themselves as sub jects of his majesty"

This verdict means that Oscar

oW OF his victim was untrue. She
refused to discuss the verdict,
and said not a word to Judge,
counsel or jurors. out silently

She was cool and self-possess-

swerving the breadth of hair
in any of her statements in alb
solute denial of all of Pullem's
allegations. During the exam

idly in her chair, cycling the jury,
and when Pullem was brought
into the room she never remov-
ed her unf1inching gaze from his
face. She will return at once to
her farm in Little River County.
