And they focked from prayer
Like beasts from the lair.

Farmers Fail to KeepPaceWith Population

WE wonder and grumbIe at
w high prices and yet we
continue to crowd into
cities and pile the prices higher!
We can not, through our own
fault produce enough eatables to
keep the cost of living at a moder-
ate level, and yet we are abandon
ing millions of acres of land, and
reducing the productive capacity OF
that which remains under cultiva-
ton by neglecting to supply 1t with
the proper food for plants.
Every year we send to the thrifty
farmers of Europe more than a mill
lion tons of phosphate rock of the
highest grade, one-half of which
applied to our own soil, would
double our crops. and do more, per
haps, than anything else to reduce
the cost Of the necessaries Of life.
In the dietary of plants there are
two things which are, at the same
time, essential and liable to become

others letters.
The Average Couple.

The affinity, however, does not
figure in the ordinary family circle,
and the average husband and wife
receive no letters from more eX-
citing source than Sister Susan, or
Grandma, or Cousin Jane, or some
old friend. Why any human being,
except the one to whom they are
addressed, wants to read the unex-
citing chronicles set down in these
epistles passes comprehension.
Nevertheless, it is the ill-bred
habit of many husbands and wives
to open each others letters and
read the condolences that We're
never meant for their eyes. It is a
sort of listening at the keyhole that
does not endear the Paul Pry or the
Polly Pry to his or her wife or hus-
band.
1t is not that the wife or hus-
band has any guilty secret that is
hidden in the letter, but no woman
or man Of real refinement tells all
of his or her family and friends

John Smith. fine and honorable, and
devoted to his wife, shrinks from
laying before her eyes the sorrowful
story his sister has written him
about hayward boy who has been

Mary Smith, as loyal a wife as ever
lived, can not bear that her husband
should read her mothers letter in
which She sobs out the pitiful tale
of how Mary's father has been

rent money on liquor, and how

Generally speaking, most hus-

and to domestic spats. For that
reason alone, if for no other, hus-

MAN asks this question;

a MAN asks this question:
~ do you think that hus-
band and wife have the right
to open each others letters with
out being asked to do SOP"
I certainly do not. A man has no
more right to open his wife's let
tiers than he has the letters Of any
other woman, nor has q wife any
more right to tamper with her nus
bands mail than she would with
that Of the most perfect stranger.
We have a right to some decency
and privacy of life, even though
married.
To have a husband or q wife who
would open your letters and read
them before you had chance at
them yourself would be disgusting
and revolving to any person Of
refinement. A letter is as purely a
personal thing as ones tooth brush,
and it's hard to imagine the lack
of delicacy and taste that would
lead husband or a wife to set up
joint claim to either one.
OF course, there are eircum-
stances in which husband or wife
may properly object to their
spouse's correspondence. A man
may not, for instance, approve OF
his wife receiving letters from
other men. A wife may be insane
" Jealous of the violet-scented pink
missives that her husband gets
from other women, but even then
the remedy is not the high-hande
and tyrannical one of opening the

What Science Offers.

What nobler occupation could
young American propose to himself
than that of rendering the soil of
his country more productive, its
fields more beautiful, it's hiusides
richer and its forests grander?
Science now offers her hand to-
the farmer if he will but take it.
With such an alliance America
could always lead the world in
wealth and happiness.
To make 60 bushels of wheat
grow on an acre where only 30
grew before is a finer achievement,
and one more worthy Of praise, and
Of the thanks of posterity, than to
double the dividends OF a watered
railway stock.
The most splendid figure that
Rome could show was that of the
farmer, Cincinnatus, who. three
times called to save his country
from the invader, three times went
back from victory to the pillow.

think of race suicide, bur not be-
fore.
This year we have had record
crops, but they are not enough.
Prices are not tumbling!
The crops should have been twice
as great as they are, and they
might have been twice as great if
the soil had been fed here as it has
been fed in Europe. If we had kept
back half Of the million tons Of
phosphate that we have sent to Eu-
rope as a yearly contribution, and
applied it to our own exhausted
farms, not only might a wave of
real prosperity have rolled over us,
but we could have rested in the
comfortable assurance that if our
population should jump from 80 to
$50 millions there would still be
enough for all, at prices that all
could pay.
These are the reflections that
come to me as ] read Professor
Hopkins statements, They should
make everybody reflect, and espe-
cially those who have fled from the
farms to the city, led by the foolish
fascination of theaters. club houses,
dance halls and hoodlum gangs.
Many of them have already learned
that there is more society, more
comfort and more intelligence in
the country than in the city-but
still they win not go back.

bands and wives have no business
meddling with each others mail.
Over and beyond the letter it
self, though, the objection to hus-
bands and wives opening each 9TH
er's letters is the deadly affront it
offers to ones individuality. The
mere act of the tearing open Of the
envelope rivets on one the letters
of a slave. 1t is the outward and
visible sign Of subsection, and any
man or any woman would have to
have the soul Of a mouse not to
feel the hot blood OF rebellion and
righteous anger surge up in her or
him against 1t.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-11-22
The Reason Why.

The Reason Why.
The opening of your letter brings
home to you as nothing else can
the fact that you have not left one
iota Of freedom, not one vestige of
personal liberty, not one scintins
of privacy. Somebody else has as
serted the right to see words writ
ten for you alone; to hear conf
dences intended for only your own
breast; to keep you under egpion-
age as If you were a child, and you
would be more than human IL YOU
did not resent it, and hate the do
mestic tyrant on your hearthstone.
The thing that makes matrimony
failure oftener than anything, else
is just this lack Of the decencies
and reserves OF life between hus-
bands and wives. 1t is because
married people so seldom are gen
erous enough to extend to each
other any liberty Of action that
marriage becomes a bondage that
we are ready to break at any price.
The one thing that initiates more
against domestic happiness than
anything else is the knowledge that
a woman has that she has got to
give an account Of everything she
does, Of every cent that she spends.
and of every place that she goes to
her husband, and that she has got
to submit to his. critical approval
her dress, her opinions, her friends.
her politics, and her religion. That's
what makes her envious of the
bachelor woman, and dream of ca
reers.
If she knew that her husband
would think and say, why, my
dear you've got as good right to
your opinion and to do~things your
way and to live your life as I have
to do NINE" there would be no
more Disconnected wives.
The Secret.
Nor would there be many side
stepping husbands if a woman had
enough sense to say to the man she
married: See, here, John, l didn't
apply for the job of jailer when
became your wife. l don't want
to interfere with all the things you
enjoy doing, Nor am going to
hold a stop watch on you and see
that you get home on the minute.
Nobody can be happy who isn't
free, and I present you your liberty
on a silver salver, sure that you
won't make a bad use of it."
That's the secret of how to be
happy though married. It's to re-
spect each others rights, and not to
enforce ones own rights, and chief
among the rights that matrimony
doesn't give is to open a husbands
or wife's letters. That's a piece Of
impertinent and vulgar curiosity TO
which no one should submit
What we need in matrimony is
to extend more liberty to the part
