there is further evidence than the
mere word of the jolly sea dogs that
their ship ran into and killed a huge

unfortunate mammal were still visible
on the forecastle and headgear Of the
schooner when she came in the other
day. Huge pieces of blubber dangled
from the stays and parts of the fore
rigging.
Captain Rosich and his crew explain
that the strange incident occurred the
other night, when the schooner was

Of lumber from Port Gamble, the wind
tammer was sailing along at a lively
clip. with fresh breeze astern. when
suddenly shock ran through the yes

CBy G. II. Afford. Atlanta Cal
The prosperity of all classes Of peo-
pie in any country is dependent upon
fits farming interests. The wealth of
the farmer is at the basis of all gen.
eral prosperity. II enters into every
business and enriches 1t as IT gees,
by creating demand for the labor of
workers In all occupations. Mining
and manufacturing. commerce and
transportation. all the wheels Of in
dustry refuse to run when agricnl-
tural conditions languish. When the
farmer laughs the world laughs with
him; when he weeps he does not
weep alone
The states of Mississippi. Maryland,
Georgia. Alabama, Arkansas. Louisi-
ana. Texas, and others have taken a
long step forward in laying the foun-
dation for higher type of educated
farmers by establishing agricultural
high schools and thereby placing a
practical agricultural education with
in easy reach OF the masses.
Let each county establish an agri-
cultural school and thereby develop a
saner. broader. and more practical
education for the boys and girls Of
the farm. Let us establish agricul-
tural high schools and fill our farms
with well educated. broadminded men
men who will restore dignity to the
long dow wn-trodden. but honorable bus
iness of agriculture and raise 1t to the
highest rank among the occupations
of man.
Let US establish agricultural high
schools and give our boys and girls
an agricultural education-an educa-
tion that produces wealth and there
by make the south the wealthiest sec
tion of the world.

II is a mistake to think that you
can use a wagon stake in producing
beefsteak.
There are three ways Of getting out
of a scrape--push out. back out, and
keep out. Try it.
Progress does not grow out OF de-
bates; It comes up from the needs
and hopes of the people.
Most of us rather would do lot Of
regulation abroad than practice lit
tie righteousness at home.
Many think they are defending
faith when they are only fighting
against the necessity of thinking.
When you fret and fume at the pet

wheels which go round without creak-

Keep up the general appearance OF
the farmstead the year around. Don't
forget that appearances count when

The Indian queen owns a quarter

ABANDON BIG PEACH ORCHARD
Bearing Trees to Number Of 225.ooo
Cut Down to Make Way for More
Profitable Crop.

An item appears of curious signifi-
canoe with regard to agricultural
production in the south. II is that
what is described as the largest peach
orchard in the world, that of the
Bayley estate of Americas. Ca, has
been cut down and burned and the
ground given to cotton raising. The
orchard contained 225.000 bearing
trees and for years has been among
the first to supply the northern mar
kets, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
But while there have been immense
shipments, large quantities went to
waste and the owners believe that
they can get more profit out of cotton
on the same ground.
II has been one Of the chief claims
that tho sCuth's greatest hope was in
diversit rig its agriculture and espe-
cially ~ raising fruits and vegetables
for northern markets. Yet II appears
from chih that the cost OF shipping is
an in.msnse drawback for the south
ern producers Of perishable crops,
the greater part OF which has to be
sold In the north Yet II remains the
fact that there are few junctures
when ,he southern peaches cannot be
readily sold, and II northern raisers
can get a good peach crop at all they
can sell their product at good rates.
II is true that cotton gets far bet
ter price now than when the southern
fruit movement began. Yet we find
it hard to believe that this great
peach orchard would not have yield
ed it's owners more than the cotton
crop Is likely to.
