A PROBLEM OF THE FARMER.

What w. L. Nelson of the Missouri
State Board of Agriculture has to
say of farm conditions in that state
holds good in probably all others.
There is nothing to indicate that
Missourians have left the farm
because of failure to make
money, writes Mr. Nelson in the
Worlds Work Abundant crops have
been gathered. Still the census shows
that many have left the farm-left
it despite the lure of the land and
the call of the country" of which
many have spoken and written SO
eloquently Why?
In reply to the question, What,
in your opinion, is the greatest need
of the farmer of today or the greatest
problem with which he must con-
tend?" III out of 44O Missouri
farmers answered, "Hired help
Ask the average man of family who
has left the farm why he did so, and
the substance of his reply is almost
sure to be that it was because of the
scarcity Of help. Question him more
closely and the probability is that
he will have something to say about
the women folks" and how hard il
was to keep help in the house. Wher
you have got these replies you are
on bedrock, You are at the root Of
the matter.
There is no use talking religion
to a starving man. for what he wants
is soup, not salvation. Nor is i
worth while wasting words telling {
worn-out country woman, withou
help in the house, of an organiza
ton for the promotion of culture
Her need is not so much for clul
as for a cook Given the cook sht
will no doubt look more favorabl,
upon culture, for literature has eve
drawn an inspiration from the land
With the exception of the boys AM
girls, who may have been attracte,
to the towns and cities by social o
business prospects, or who have see,
their parents wearing out thei
lives at work" as it seemed to them
most people who leave the farms an
go to town do so not so much fror
choice as from what seems to ther
at least a necessity.

The ginners' report, showing the
amount of cotton ginned up to Dec.
list, makes it possible to estimate
pretty closely the size of the cotton
crop. 1t is the belief of the trade
that the crop will not vary greatly
either way from 100000 bales.
Up to the first of this month there
had been ginned of the Georgia crop
2,237 no bales, and of the crop of
all the states 12,814,832 bales.

THE JOURNALS BIG BULL"

| THE JOURNALS Blu BULL.
While we unqualifedly disapprov'
of the failure of the present canned
and partisan state democratic exec
utive committee to follow the time
honored custom of calling a repre-
sentative convention following {
state primary, The News is not en-
couraging or assisting in the move
ment begun in many of the coun'
J ties to have such a convention al
an early date. The movement has
evidently disturbed the Atlanta
Journal, which has turned loose a
double-column slugged editorial at
it, and makes itself ridiculous in the
following paragraph:
"a notable precedent in point is
furnished by the primary that was
held shortly after the death of
Governor Alexander H. Stephens.
The president of the senate be-
came acting governor In due time
was conducted a primary in which
Acting Governor Boynton was OPP
posed by Governor Mcdaniel. The
latter was the successful candi-
date, and his nomination was Off
Cjally declared by the state exec
utive committee with never a sug-
gestion of a convention being
called or of a new committee be-
ing named. That case we submit
is, in every important detail, par
allel to the one now under cOnsid-
alton and established beyond all
cavilling the rule that should and
will prevail"
Even the Journals political ex-
pert" no doubt knows better than
that, and that it's man at the heavy
editorial desk should make such
blunder is surprising. The fact is,
Governor Mcdaniel, following the
death of Governor Stephens, was
in one of the most nota-
BILE conventions in the political his
tory of Georgia. The editor of
The News, then mere youth,
was in the convention hall every
day, and remembers distinctly the
stirring and stormy scenes that
marked its proceedings. To succeed
the deceased executive there were a
number of candidates, including Act
ing Governor Boynton, Hon. A. o.
Bacon, General Phil Cook, H. D. Nc
Daniel and others. The convention
was in a deadlock several days, with
Bacon leading in the number of
votes, BoyntOn next al the others
only a scattering few.
Finally, after almost a week of bal
loting and everybody was worn out,
the opposition to Bacon, who several
times had come within five votes of
securing the nomination, combined
on Mcdaniel, who went into the con-
vention with less than fifteen votes,
and gave him victory over the man
who had practically half of the dele
gates. 1t is, therefore, in order for
our Atlanta contemporary to find
another precedent" with which to
combat the present movement.
If it is the intention of those who
now want a convention to meet and
jubilate little we can see no objec-
ton to it, but if it is intended to
displace the present committee, who
were made the duly constituted au-
thority of the party for two years,
we hope the matter will be dropped.
That they have been derelict in their
duty to the people there is no ques-
ton, but the people rebuked them
at the ballot box Thursday, and in
the interest of future peace and har-
mony that should be the end of it.
