LETTER FROM
w. L. SESSIONS.
Birmingham, Ala.
Mich. 10. 1912

Mich 10, 1912.
Editor Marietta Journal, Marietta, Ga :
On moving from my old home in
Cobb county, Marietta, my friend.
Hon. A. S, Clay. whom we all loved
who knew him best, gave me a let
ter of introduction to Hon. Oscar
Underwood, Congressman of the
Ninth District, Alabama, Mr.. Under
wood residing at this place. Bir-
mingham, Ala. From that date up
to now | have watched Mr.. Under
woods career, and he has climbed
the ladder, round by round and
step by step, always standing for
the right and asking favors of no
one, but representing the people in
Congress. To show the manner of
man MIR Underwood is: During
the time in Congress, when the
present tariff law was being framed,
this district being the largest iron
and coal producing territory of the
South, large number of Mr..
Underwood's close personal friends
and the commercial bodies wired
him to use his influence to have .
heavy duty put on iron and coal.
No quicker than he had received
the message when he wired baci,
that he was represt nting the people.
and that he was not in favor :
anything except Democratic doc
trine, which was tariff for revenue
only. Risking his job, and fisking
everything, he stood on the lob at
tending to his duty, hewing to the
line. am sure that Georgia can
do no better than to cast her vote
in the primary for Oscar Under
wood for President. He is a clean
man in all his dealings; is square.
upright and a thorough Christian
gentleman; big enough man for
the job. am sure that we of the
South would truly feel honored if
we gave the great Democratic party
such leader, if they should accept
him at this time.

"A change is being wrought in our pri-
mary educational system. The best
paid and best appreciated teacher of
the future will be the one who teaches
the best ways of discharging the or

domestic science, in horticulture and in
agriculture will be prominent feature
in our future educational work. The
wonder is that we have so long de-

SORGHUM CANE.

Sorghum cane is one of the most
valuable plants the Southern farmer
has access to. 1T is a plant that re-
turns unto the planter a most profit
allie yield. 1t is equally good for
forage, green feed or silage for live
stock, and when its sugary. juice is
made into syrtp,'a most Wholesome
aud paIatahle food for man. In
fact, it is the favorite of all syrups
for the table, with many people.
Fancy grades. often sell in this sec
.tion as high as IS cents to 81 per
gallon, when the famous South
Georgia sugar cane syrup retais at
from 30 to 90 cents per gallon.
Sorghum cane will pay we'll on
poor land, yet responds bountifully
t. good treatment; requires little
work, yet paws you literally for
good cultivation. Anywhere from
so to 200 gallons per acre is pcs
sible on most any of our soils, and
we believe with good land, liberal
fertilization and thorough cultiva-
ton yield of four to five hundred
gallons can be produced from one
acre. The seed which is splendid
food for all live stock and poultry,
will often pay all costs of the crop,
leaving the syrup as clear profit.
If you want to produce some
cheap pork, and good pork, plant
small plot Of this cane, and when it
begins to ripen, throw a little over
to your hogs each day, and the hogs
will gain flesh rapidly Give little
of the green cane to. your cattle
when the summer pasture is dry,
and your cows will reward you with
an increased milk flow. Sow some
of that poor land any time from
May to the tenth Of August, and
fill your barns with a splendid hay,
and thereby get out of buying so
many cottonseed bulls and western
hay next year.
We made one hundred and sew
enty-two gallons of good, thick
syrup per acre last year, getting
also about twenty-five bushels of
seed per acre, which at the market
price more than pays the entire cost
of the crop. This on land that
would not have made more than
one-half bale of cotton. or twenty
five bushels of corn. In fact, we
doubt whether, with the same care,
if we would have made any corn
with such dry seasons. This cane
was planted the middle of May, and
by the first of September it was
ready to be taken to the mill.
There are three essentials in the
production. of the best, crops of cane
for syrup, other than the right soil,
best seed, etc, viz; ,. LIST. Do not
plant too early. From the 10th of
May to the 18th of July for syrup.
I'd. Plant in a deep furrow 3d..
Cover seed just as deep as possible,
not to destroy gerf1ination! We
advocate using barnyard compost,
d. and the use of from 200 to 1000
pounds of high grade, commercial
fertilizer, say a 10-4-4 or 9-3-4
Care should be taken to put the
stable compost on the land some
time in advance of planting, other
wise the quality of the syrup will
be injured, For forage, the seed
can be sown broadcast one-half to
one bushel per acre, from April LIST
to August 10th, though we prefer
sowing in June.
There seems to be an idea that
sorghum Injuries the land where
grown, but this is not our expert
ence at all. On the contrary, we
consider it a great soil builder.

PROSPERITY CAN BE ADVERSELY
AFFECTED BY DEMOCRATIC
FREE TRADE LAWS.
PLAIN TRUTH FOR FARMERS
Statement That Good Times viii Con-
tinue, No Matter Who 10 Elected, Is
Shown to Be False, Because leois-
Iation Affects Prices Of Farm Prod
ucts

In a recent issue Of Successful Farm
ing, under the heading "A Popularity
Contest" there appeared among 9th
or things this paragraph:
This is the year of our Lord 1912,
when the farmers push back the ex-
cited and noisy politicians and say
Go chase yourself. You can't make
prosperity any more than you can
make rain or sunshine. The goods
you are talking about are adulterated
with ninety-nine per cent selfishness
and political rot. We've got the gen.
uine over In our tent. Goodbye
The paragraph was written in good
faith, doubtless by one who honestly
believes the prosperity of this country
will not be in any way affected. no
matter how the election goes in No
vember.
That was precisely the position
taken by the Democratic orators and
newspapers In 1892. That was a year
of most bountiful crops, it will be re-
membered, and good prices. Facto-
ries. were running full force, capital
was eagerly seeking Investment, labor
was fully employed. In word. 1t was
the most prosperous year the country
had known up to that time. The Re-
publicans tried to make the people be
lieve that they ought not to endanger
that prosperity by changing politica'
management. But they we're jeeret
then as the above paragraph in Sue
cessful Farming jeers them nov
prosperity is a gift Of God and not
of politicians" the Republicans were
told, and they we're accused of sort
of blasphemy for attempting to argu,
that Democratic victory might bring
disaster. AS a matter OF fact nobody
expected a Democratic victory. SC
business went booming right along un
til election day.
But when it became known thai
Cleveland had been elected and would
have a Democratic congress with him
pledged to reduce the tariff, there
came about an immediate change over
the whole face of the business world
Manufacturers did not dare fill their
warehouses full of goods which might
have to compete with similar articles
of foreign make. Jobbers and whole
salers restricted their orders to i'm
mediate needs, while all over the
country retailers bought from day to
day because they did not want their
shelves filled with high-priced goods
when the low-priced flood came in.
And so it happened that although the
new tariff bill was not passed for
more than a year after Cleveland's
election, the panic began at once. Not
what the Democratic party actually
did but what It was threatening to do
brought about the condition Of uncer-
tainty In the Industrial world which
simply paralyzed the business OF the

fresh air classes for tuberculous, and
anaemic children, and also for all chill

schools have been established since
January, 1907, when the first institu-

Providence, r. l. On January 1st,
1910, there were only 13 open air
schools in this country and a year
later the number had Increased only
to 20. Thus, the real growth In this
movement has been within the last
two years. Massachusetts, now leads
the states with So fresh air schools
