THE GROWTH OF FARM VALUES.

According to agricultural statistics
published by the census bureau the
total value of farm property in this
country has reached the almost in
comprehensive sum of Sal, 900, 000,-
600, which means that it has more
than doubled itself in the last ten
years.
In that fact is contained one of
the reasons for the continually in
creasing cost of living. The value
has increased mainly because the
supply of farm products has not kept
pace with the demand This widen
ing gap between supply and demand
can be traced to a shortage of agri-
cultural workers. The lure of the
city has drawn the youths from the
country to greater degree than
any back to the land" movement has
been able to send city men to the
country. The city population has in
creased 35 per cent in the last ten
years, Willie INC l Vi al pOpuIdllOll mas
only increased II per cent. Any ar
rest of the exodus from the country
to the city is bound to lower prices,
but such a cOnsummation can be
achieved only by making country life
more attractive to the young people
In that suggestion lies the root of
our present trouble with high prices
Farming lands cover nearly one
half the total land area of the coun-
try, and of this farm acreage nearly
one-half is unimproved Farm land,
even at an average value of 1872 an
acre at the present time, is a good
Investment
Good farming never paid better in
this country than it does today, but
more good farmers are among our
most pressing needs.

GODS OWN MCROBE KILLER.


Fresh air enthusiasts are familiar
to most of US, but we do not hear
of much enthusiasm for light. Dark
ened parlors, darkened bedrooms,
darkened sickrooms are too common.
An eminent scientist and physician
has declared that when the professors
of healing enter a sick room their
first words in most cases ought to be
Goethe's dying declaration, More
light! More light" The light of the
sun is Gods own microDe killer,
germicide, disinfectant, prophylactic,
sickness healer. There is no physi-
clan, no chemical antidote, no COM
pounded prescription to be compared
with sunlight. Without it nature
could not perform her functions.
Man, beast, bird, insect would fall
victims to the deadly gases that
would prevail. The horrid mists and
deadly gases are dispersed and de-
composed by the action of light
Let the light in, everywhere. Let
it in more and more abundantly
Faded carpets are not as pitiful as
faded cheeks. SpotIess cushions are
trivial compared with spoiled health.
Darkened rooms are too suggestive of
darkened lives.

THE HOME OF THE TRUSTS.

The Americas Times Recorder
notes that an exchange points out:
The state of New Jersey is the home
of more of the American trusts
which have been destroying competi-
ton, consolidating plants, raising
prices and expressing labor than all
the other states in the union. The
Steel Trust. the Standard Oil, the
American Tobacco Company, the
Sugar Trust-and a host of others
are ali New Jersey corporations,

held by heirs of those who went down
with the ship for damages. The bet
ter opinion seems to be that it can
not. The disaster was not due. as

hgence on the part of the company

something over which man has no

A learned scientist solemnly de-
clares that the high cost of living
has come about because we eat too
much. There are many of us who
can prove al alibi, but it must be
admitted that we Americans as a peo-
pie are no longer content with the
simple food that suff1ced our ances-
tors. No longer does the family sit
down to the old-fashioned boiled din
ner made up from the smokehouse
and the products of the home garden,
nourishing and palatable yet in
expensive diet. Many of the modern
housewives are much more familiar
with the can opener than with the
boiling pot and stew pan.

A CAR LOAD OF GEORGIA CORN.

The Ledger reports that Column
bus grain dealer has received from a
neighboring county a car load of
corn, containing 500 bushels, which
brought the grower more than a dol
lar bushel.
1t is a good sign when Georgia
farmers begin to ship corn by the
car load. This transaction in Co
lumbus means that more than $500
has been kept in Georgia that would
have gone elsewhere for corn which
in all probability would have been of
an inferior quality.
There is no reason why a grain OF
Western corn should be shipped to
Georgia, and still less excuse for the
farmer who buys it.
