Jackson, Miss, Aug. 22.-While no
organized opposition has thus far been
manifested. the advocates of commits
sion government for Jackson do not
intend to be caught mapping. A sys-
tematic plan of campaign is being
formed, copies of the poll books Will
be procured, and the leaders of the
movement will make an energetic eff
fort to get voters to the polls on the
oath of September.
The keenest enthusiasm for the
proposed change is being shown by
the working classes, wage-earners VINO
have evidently grown tired of paying
a high tax rate on their modest prop
erty without getting adequate return
therefor in the way of municipal util-
tiles. Dissatisfaction over the delay
in supplying the city with clear and
wholesome water and the excessive
rates charged for uniiltered water

Jackson, Aug. ga new phase Oh
the child labor law has been referred
to the department Of justice for or
fetal ruling. A few days ago the At
torney-General issued an opinion TO
the sheriff of Harrison county that
the child labor statute is applicable to
children employed in oyster and
shrimp canning establishments, all OF
which have heretofore employed
many children, mostly Bohemians, In
oyster shocking and shrimp packing.
The packers, 1t appears. are not
satisfied with the ruling. and raise
the point that, inasmuch as these
children are not employed indoors
the child-labor law is not applicable
that their labor is employed under
open sheds, where the ventilation lie

orators on the stump say that the

ing everything else had duties put

that they had to use was raised upon
them until now it is almost impos-

profit When, while you were feed

the trusts, nobody doubts what the
process of tariff legislation has been.

The trusts have been fattening
their bank accounts at the expense OF
the farmers. Under the protective
tariff of the Republicans, the men
engaged in agricultural products have
been compelled to shoulder more
than their Just share of taxation.
Governor Woodrow Wilson has gone
squarely on record for the farmers
and against the trusts He declares
that WHILE THE FARMERS WERE
FEEDING THE WORLD, CONGRESS
WAS FEEDING THE TRUSTS"
Gov. Wilson in an address to the
Annual Farmers Picnic at Washing
ton Grove, near Gloucester, N. j., ex-
planned in his usual clear and logical
style, Just where he stood in regard
to the farmer. The thousands of
his audience applauded him as he
preached lower tariff as a necessity
for the farmer There was laughter
when he spoke of Senator Aldrich
of Rhode Island having read the
handwriting of the wall which demon
strated that he chad a weather eye

" am interested in politics not
as a search for office but as a great
contest devoted to something very
definate and practical" said Gov
Wilson. Politics ought not to be
considered as a mere occasion fol
oratory, but as a branch of the nat

CHAMPION CORN RAISER.
Jerry Moore of South Carolina, Pro
duces 225 Bushels to Acre.

Jerry Moore of South Carolina, the
seventeen year old son of a minister
is credited with being the champion
corn raiser of the world, having pro-
duced 225 bushels of good, sound
corn on an acre of ground attached
to the parsonage at Mars Bluff. This
yield of corn would seem to indicate
that some intensive farming was done
by the youngster; but it shows more
than that, namely, that our people
are only getting about one-third or
one-fourth as much corn from their
soil as they should. This is true in
fact of all other grains raised on our
farms and in a measure true with
respect to cattle, hogs and other ami
mails. We are firmly of the opinion
that the successful farmer of the flu
ture will, be he who will get out OF
his soil every pound of grain it is ca.
pable of producing. That will mean
that the average yield of corn in Lows
will reach fully 100 bushels per acre
and that other grains will be increas.
ed in proportion. 1t is coming to be
recognized that we are farming toe
much land to obtain the best results
in bushel yield per acre. We have
reached the point where there is little
m ha ho h.
asking, so that in the future youns
men instead of going west to grow VI
with the country will be compelled tt
stay right at home and help on the
old farm. To carry this scheme-te
success, better farming will have tt
be done and the land thus compelled
to yield more and more each year
The tendency will, therefore, be tC
cut our farms up into smaller acre
age, and these smaller acreages made
to yield twice as much per acre as
they have heretofore. Boys like Jer.
Try Moore of far off South Carolina
and those of similar stripe are point.
ing the way to this new era and we
sincerely trust that the boys and the
young men of other states will not be
slow to follow the blazed trail made
by these enterprising young men. In
stead of more land the Iowa farmer
needs more extensive farming of
what he already has.
