The progressive farmer and southern farm gazette. (Starkville, Miss.) 1910-1920, 1910-11-19

President Barrett says that last year he took
census and found enough Congressman and Sem
ators who said they were In favor OF n parcels
post law, to pass it through both Houses They
are not going to pass 1t, however. until the farm
ers make them, and now Congress is meeting
again, 1t Is time to get busy. Let your Congress-
man ana Senators know how you feel about It.
Petitions don't count,-don't waste time with
them;-but personal letter Is likely to interest
the legislator, and a hundred or 80 personal let
tiers Will almost surely put him to work Write
yours to-day.

PROGRESSIVE FARMER AND GAZETTE.
This Week and Next.

~ OMEHOW we can't get over the idea that ev-
cry farm ought to have liberal supply oi
~ both orchard and small fruits. Now, we kno"
that readers will not have to go back many num-
hers to find where we have said something very
much like that before but that can not be heiped'
We know that the farm with plenty of apples ana
nears peaches and plums, grapes and berries
is more desirable place to live than the farm
without them. We know that a good garden en-
ables the farmer to live better and at less expense
and we know that Southern farmers can have gar
den truck almost the year round. For these rea-
sons we urge every reader to think over Professor
Massey's garden talk and over the articles by MI.
Latham and Professor Niven page 500.
Another feature of this issue to which We
would call attention is Mr.. Princes letter on the
running at large OF live stock. This is practice
that can not fail to be injurious to any section.
and every progressive farmer should do all In his
power to stop it. Then. have little talk
to the boys on hunting. with hint to the
older farmers about allowing all sorts OF so-called
sportsmen to over-run their lands shooting with
impartial recklessness in all directions. The laws
usually give the farmer better protection along
this line than he thinks; and IL they do not protect
him. he should call on his legislators 10 get busy.
That "diversifcation" means the adoption OF a
rational system OF rotation rather than the whole
sale planting OF untried crops We have often tried
to make clear, and there Is on page 796 another
talk on this point with special reference to the
conditions brought about by the coming OF the
boil weevil.
The value OF the agricultural short courses to
young farmers Is SO great that We feel justified
in once more calling attention on page 500 to
those in territory and urging every farmer
who can to attend one OF them this winter
Next week shall have the conclusion OF Mr..
Poe's interesting letter THE Land OF Upside
Down: more reports from farmers who are pre-
pairing for better crops next year; some interest
ing figures, drawn from actual experience. on
what 1t costs to lay tile; plain editorial talk on
THE Real Theorists; an interesting article by
Mrs. Stevens the preparation OF Christmas
gifts; little talk to the boys the study Of
the things they find on the farm. along with the
usual departments, and some striking letters from
our busy farmer readers

Editorial Gleanines.

CORRESPONDENT of one of our local pa
~ pers exposes the false claims made by West
ern promoters who are trying to get farm
ers to leave the South and try farming in Wyom-
ing and other Western States. The usual policy
of these men, as he points out. is to get these
prospective settlers to visit the section at ia
vorable season, dine them at good hotel, and
then take them out in automobiles and sell land
to them before they have chance to make any
inquiries. The correspondent in question is a
Southern man who went to Wyoming, and gives
this pointed advice to Southerners who may think
of going there:
sStay where you are, Mr.. Farmer, in
country where you grow anything, and
don't run the risk of buying a farm in Wyom-
ing and starving to death, unless you first
investigate the conditions here. l have lived
in the State of Wyoming for the past six
years, and it is, in my opinion, great State
on account of it's large and increasing stock
business and large mineral resources. But
when you say that you have said it ALL
When it to farming, Wyoming will
have to take back seat. Not because farm
products can not be raised here, but
count of the high altitude, alkali and uncer-
tain climate"
We have lately received bulletin issued by a
Southern experiment station for distribution to
the farmers. 1t is very valuable bulletin SO
far as the Information it contains is concerned;
but here is little quotation from it that gives
an idea Of the style in which it is written:
distributed somewhat sparsely and irreg-
uarly over the spot the fruiting cavities
of the fungus (pycnidia). In rotten spots,
produced by incubation, the pycnidia fire.
quently assume somewhat concentric ar
rangement. Proceeding from the innermost
pycnidia toward the edge of the spot the
pycnidia become smaller, none at all being
found near the edge of the diseased tissue"
An illustration in the bulletin is labeled ely,
pochnose Sclerotia and Mycelial Ribbons Upor
Apple Twigs." 1t seems to US that these quota
tons explain, to a great extent, why much
really valuable work done by experiment sta
tons fails to reach the farmer and help him IL
his work. It also strengthens our belief tina

every experiment station needs an editor VINO can
translate the writings Of those scientists VINO Wrte
all the time as IL for other scientists, into paln
I'm plish that the everyday farmer can read and
understand.
That is an interesting story Mrs. Stevens tells
about the first Thanksgiving Day. In our Christ
mas issue she will match this view OF primitive
New England with account of Christmas IN
the Old South.
A great many of our Corn-Club boys have not
yet sent in their reports We announced that
these reports must be sent in by November ~
but to give all chance, after fair warning we
are willing to make it November Is. II you
want prize, you must send your report by that
time Don't put it off another day. We want to
hear from every boy who entered the contest.
Then, those prize ears; very few lots are coming
in. If you are going to compete for these prizes,
send in your corn right away.

We have ourselves said some hard things about
the tenant system now in favor in the South; and
we have one or two very interesting letters on the
same subject which expect to publish just as
soon as we can find space for them. But better
than to show how bad the tenant system is-and
it is bad-is to show better plan and tell how
it may be adopted. Who has solved the tenant
problem to reasonably satisfactory degree? We
want to hear from him. II you have had expert
ence which you think will be helpful to Others let
US have 1t.
The profits in Southern stock raising are
bound to grow bigger and bigger as the years go
by The ranges of the West are fast being con-
verified into cultivated fields, and to the South the
Nation must look for steadily increasing share
of its meat supply. striking illustration of the
general decline in range stock together with more
rapid marketing brought about by high prices Is
afforded by the fact that cattle census of Texas
January 1, 1909. showed $4,000 cattle in the
State; January 1. 1910, only 100000. The wise
Southern farmer will get ready to take advantage
of the big profits that stock raising now offers
and will increasingly as time goes by.

One OF the weakest points IN me
Chinese imperial government has
hoen its MANAGEMENT Of the finances,
asserts the New York Tribune. There
has been a deplorablo lack OF en-
llVhtaned system, and. according to
confident report, a still more deplor,
able excess Of squeezing" and other
forms Of dishonesty. It was therefore
IN no desired that fiscal reforms
shou'd occupy large place In the re-
~rrHNiZation Of the government on a
constitutional basis, and It Is now
gratifying and encouraging to observe
that such is the case. Various i'm
perial DEGREES have EMPHASIZED the
necessity Of fiscal reform and have
Indicted on general lines the manner
in which Il IS to be effected, and
there is ground for honing that these
will he obeved as the other decree re-
lsting to constitutional matters have
been.
