join the league pledge themselves so

such sires, TO work for the improve

The white population is gain
ing rapidly on the negro in the
South. In the nine cotton States
the white increase during the
last ten years was Sc. 6 per cent
while the colored increase was
but 80 per cent. This was the
relative rate in the cities. The
disparity in the country districts
was even greater. Ten years ago
the gain of the two races was
about equal but the last census
shows that the rural districts of
the South the white gain the last
decaded was 17.3 per cent and the
negro but 8.3 per cent. Colored
men are leaving the rural dis,

planters no longer look to them
as the source of labor.

out of place. In no season that the
writer can remember has the damage
in the north central states been so
heavy as that which has been inflicted
on farmers and gardeners within the
past few weeks. Not only has corn
on sod ground been badly riddled and
had to be replanted. but even worse
havoc has been wrought In the town
and country garden patch. One
gardener in speaking of the matter
the other day said that of 1000 cab
bage plants which be had set out the
cutworms got all but two. So vora-
cious are they that they have even at,
