great men, they must quit the farm.
Let us remove from the public
school curriculum all readers filled
with the gilded thought of stage and
forum, all histories which overflow to
the margin with dates and battles, and
with many heroes who differ from or
binary scoundrels only in magnitude
of their crimes, all biographies deal
ing in romance of climate and situa-
ton, and the hyperbole of wonderful
production in some sections, and sub
stitute for them truthful readers
about the wealth producers of the
world; histories of the achievements
in the political arena and on the field
of battle; and the outlines of geog-
raphy. Then let us add penmanship,
spelling, grammar, arithmetic, science
of health, ethics, elementary princi-
pies of economics, the science OF gov
eminent, and the science of agricul-
ture. The public schools would then
educate the people toward the farm
and make a specially of increasing
their earning capacity.
III is true THAT SuuCdtIOu Will ldloO
agriculture to the highest rank among
the occupations of men and check the
power of demagogues, parasites, and
harmful corporations; however, | am
in favor of the establishment of agri-
cultural high schools, because it will
pay financially. The proper applica-
ton of science brings the working
forces of nature to cooperate in the
production, making crop uniform in
! quality, successive in seasons, and
abundant beyond conception. Soil
may be gradually deepened by plow
ing an inch or so deeper every time
it is broken; filed full of nitrogen by
planting cow-peas and other pod-bear
ing plants; filed full of humus by
practicing rotation of crops; injury
from drouth obviated by frequent ane
shallow cultivation, and abundant har
| vests annually garnered.

Ladies and gentlemen, here are the
works of the first great Master-edu
cation has subdued and civilized the
world They brought from it's abid-
ing place the little pamphlet which
Tom Paine wrote, and which thrilled
the western woodland said, "All OF
the money coined by all the minis
have not done what that man did"
They went into the workshops where
brains had evolved all the intricate
things which made possible this
grand commercial pageant and ex-
claimed, Money isn't in it," Those
on the negative side of the question
proved conclusively that, go where
you within the country. town, or
city-you will find the people always
insisting that money is the motive
power of the woodland it is a fact
that no one need question that educa-
ton will ever be put before gold when
it comes to the matter of power The
power of gold is greater than all other
things, and it's influence in this world
is far greater than the influence of

shall not say that 1t should be that
way, but / am examining the speci-
mems as i see them, and making my
report accordingly. Let us marshal
all the multimillionaires the world
has ever known in one solid phalanx
and tell them to produce their
scrolls. Invite them to reveal all that
they have ever done with their vast
piles of wealth-and we will be as
founded at the magnificent showing
they will make. Gold-well, am not
going TO drink a toast to gold, but
/ wish to call the attention of the peo-
pie of the south to- the fact that the
power of gold is greater than all
other things.
The two remedies most often pre-
seribed for the ills of the south are
education and wealth. My remedy is
one which is conspicuous by its al
most universal absence-one. how

FALL FAIRS ARE IMPORTANT
Educational Features Should Be Intro
duced and Eliminate Demoraizing
and Worthless Ones.

The farmers and business men
should realize that, agricultural fairs
play very important pant in the de-
velopment of the farming interests.
Every county in the south should have
an agricultural fair in the fall. Those
in charge of the fairs should introduce
educational features into the organi.
cation of the fairs and eliminate de-
moralizing and worthless features
such as to some extent characterize
most of our fairs at the present time.
The mission of the fair is to tell in
the direction of larger and better
crops, more and better stock, better
homes, and fewer young people leav-
ing the farms.
The fairs should make arrangements
for boys classes in live stock Judging
The girls should be taught to make
butter and judge it. Prizes should be
offered for the winners in the boys
and girls contests.

wise that the surest and quickest way
to get rid of the ticks is by dipping
the cattle in properly prepared ar
senical solution and that if all the cat
tie on farm, be it large or small, are
regularly dipped once every two
weeks for a period of few months,
all of the ticks on that farm will be
destroyed. Since 1895, 139,S21 square
miles of territory, an area more than
three times the size of the state of
Mississippi, has been freed from
ticks. What has been accomplished
in this territory can be done in all OF
the region south of the quarantine
line.

ical solution which the United States
agricultural department has found
most effective is as follows:
