THE ROCK HILL PLAN" TO
REDUCE COTTON ACREAGE
TO ERECT MEMORIAL
TO DR.. S. A. KNAPP

A sixty day campaign has been
inaugurated' to secure funds for q
suitable memorial to that great
friend OF our Southern farmers, DR..
Seaman A. Knapp, organizer and
director of the Farmers Cooperative
Demonstration Work of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
No other man in the history of
the South probably ever did as much
as DIR. Knapp to interest farmers in
better methods of farming and di-
versification Of crops and to get them
out OF their slavery to cotton. The
demonstration work and the corn
club work, developed under his fos-
tering care, for the first time brought
our people to see that the South is
itself in the corn belt, and that their
is no reason in nature why our farm.
ers should be dependent upon elm
gle crop.
We are glad to know that the
campaign for raising funds in this
county has now begun. A special
committee has been appointed and
several local collectors are now at
work, handsomely engraved pic
ture OF DR.. Knapp and some of his
sayings being given each contribu-
tor, even if the amount be only a
dime. :, ''-'s > -.
Every farmer in the county should
give something to perpetuate the
memory of this great man.

The message says further that the

DOMESTIC SCIENCE TEACHERS

The girls who know how 70 teach
cooking and sewing are not long idle
these days. The Kansas Agricultural
College was not able to supply more
tran one hat Of the teachers requir-
ed in l911-l2. Six hundred and sew
enty4ive girls we're enrolled in the
domestic science course al the col
eye but only few Of these intend
I'd 10 leave home. Fewer than one
hundred had a desire to teachschool
and still there was a constant call
for girls to fill positions paying from
forty to one hundred dollars month
and this, Notwithstanding the fact
that home economics or domestic
science Is taught also at Pittsburg,
Emporia, Hays and Lawrence. Forty.
i've young women we're placed. this
summer, by the Kansas Agricultural
College, as teachers Of domestic
science.
1t would be hard to imagine more
practicable instruction than the girls
receive. In the domestic science
course the students learn the laws
OF health, and get an understanding
OF the sanitary requirements Of the,
home; they learn how to use things,
how to prepare food properly, Row
to spend money wisely, how to save
time, how to plan their work for
themselves and others and how 70
care for children. Such training re-
suits in contentment, industry, order
and cleanliness. They do their own
marketing, their own cooking, their
own waiting on tables, their own
dishwashing. They buy materials,
make their own patterns, cut the
goods and make their own clothes.
They buy straw in bundles and make
and trim their own hats After they
have done these things acceptably,
they know how to teach others, or
they can go to their own homes or
their parents homes and make NE
happier for some one. e
One Of the important things taught
in the school is how to equip the
high school IN which domestic science
Is to be taught. Indeed, the agricul
tural college Is one Of the big train.

vors, which the phraseology Of the
schedule was often deliberately con-

conviction that there should be an
immediate revision. and 1t should be

He presents no elaborate scheme
of trust control and no finely adjust

prices "are not based by the compe-
titions Of the market, or by the an
Gent law Of supply and demand. ...
but by private arrangements with re-
gand to what the supply should be
and agreements among the producers
themselves" In this process the
public interest b not consulted, but
merely the private interest. This is
wrong, It goes without saying, and
we naturally ask ourselves, How did
these gentlemen get control Of these
things? Who handed our economic
laws over to them for legislative and
contractual altercadon?" In the way
