joan is still very young, and the last
Christmas eve found her more than
eager for Christmas. AS great treat
she was allowed to wait up for the
long-expected visit of Santa Claus, but
in the course Of the evening became
sleepy. Presently she astonished her
careful and mild-tongued elders by the
emphatic exclamation: MY Dod,
papa, but Sanity Taus Is late!"

IN l'ENSIVE! FARMING
IS EXPLAINED.
UNITED STATES MINISTER
Says Denmark Twer ty Years Ago
Was IN a Poverty Stricken
State, Now Prosperous.

Washington, May 28.-Dr. Maurice
Egan, United States minister to Den
mark, has just returned from tour of
the south, under auspices of the South
ern Commercial Congress, promoted
by the congress to show farmers of the
south, through DR.. Egan, something
of intensive farming methods in Den
mark.
Denmark, naturally one of the small
est and poorest countries in Europe,
through intensive farming, has become
in few years one of the most prosper
GUS and wealthiest, per capita, in the
world. 1t was to describe to southern
farmers the marvellous story of achieve
ment of financial independence, even
wealth, of the Danish farmers, that DR..
Egan made his southern tour.
The Southern Commercial Congress
suggested to the state department that
DE- Egans knowledge of the success
the Danes have achieved in intensive
farming would be of immense advant-
age to southern farmers. The state de
partment gave DR.. Egan furlough,
and sent him on the southern trip.
Starting from the great Nashville con-
ventiOn of the congress, on April 10, he
visited Shelbyville, Ky, ST. Louis,
Dallas and Houston, Texas, New Or
leans, Jackson, Miss, Birmingham,
Athens, Ga, Charleston, s. C., Green's
boro and Raleigh, N. g., and Roanoke,
Va. In each of these cities DR.. Egan
lectured to immense audiences of farm
ers and described the Danish farming
methods. His lecture, which was re-
ceived with great enthusiasm every
where he went, probably will be pub
lished as an official bulletin of the de-
partment of agriculture for circulation
throughout the nation.
DR.. Egan will return to his post at
June 6. He said today he
was delighted with his special mission
to the south, and hoped that his expo
sition of farming in Denmark would |
be of advantage to southern planters.
1t is probable that next year the state
department. will detail him on SINH
lar mission, under auspices of the
Southern Commercial Congress, to Wis
it all the state legislatures in the south
and tell the lawmakers about Danish
This would undoubtedly
have an important effect on agricultur-
ii legislation. Since his return TO
Washington DR.. Egan has received
yreat number of letters from farmers
md public men along the route of his
our thanking him for the privilege of
rearing the lectures.
Denmark y said DR.. Egan today,
twenty years ago was in II poverty
tricken state. The farmers were poor.
Today, through intensive farming,
Denmark is prosperous and happy.
every Danish farmer owns
lis own land. Bacon, butter and eggs
lave made the Danes wealthy people.
PRODUCTS of the farms are marketed
trough cooperative creameries and
torres owned by the farmers them
elves. This system has made Danish
,utter a standard of excellence and
Ugh price known all over the world
Iot an inch of ground or natural ferti-
izer is ever wasted in Denmark. If
he southern farmers, who waste so
nuch of their lands, and in many in
tances wear out their farms, would
dopt the Danish methods the south
would become the wealthiest section of
