WHERE MIR. ROGERS MADE
A BIG MISTAKE

II. II. Rogers of Standard Oil fame
made $40, OOO. 900 before he died. He
left his money to his family and he
left to the world the following bit
of good advice worth more than his
money if properly acted on:
THE man who has succeeded and
made money is the man who has had
confidence in this country and has
shown his faith by his works. Ev-
cry year of its growth produces
greater opportunities, and each part
OF the country has about as many
opportunities as another
This is excellent except as to the
last proposition and there Mr.. Rogers
was wide of the mark. No part OF
this country today offers as many OPP
portunities to the man of plenty OF
energy. average intelligence an
moderate capital as Florida. Nature
has provided climate, soil and di-
versity of resources here which give
us first place in the procession when
it comes to opportunities, and more
and more are the people elsewhere
getting wise to this fact and heading
this way. California has had her
day as the land of opportunity for
the man of moderate means Flor
ida's is Just beginning.

A Chicago Judge with more than

been talking to the Chicago Medical
society on the crime problem and
urging the creation of bureau to

to enforce the judicial suggestion:
Society must deal with the Grim

Installing Pumps At YadkIn.

The Southern is having two
big Watson.Stillman vertical tur
bine pumps installed at its
pumping station on the Yadkin
river, three miles below Spencer.
Messrs. A. F. St,llman and w. 81.
Lands, of the main office of the
Arm, which is in New York, are
present and are pushing the work
of placing the pumps, each of
which will be driven by a 1876
horsepower Kerr steam turbine
with a capacity of $50 pounds.
Each pump will throw 700 gal.
Ions of water per minute or over
1000, 900 gallons daily, through
the two 8-inch mains RAINING
from the Yadkin river to Spencer.
This will together with the old
pumps now in use, furnish a sul-
ply of about 5000. .0cO gallons of
water daily for the Southern at
Spencer, making one of the largo
est water systems in the State in
not the South.

A Lesson We Must Learn.

We have too long tried to fol-
low the custom of other sections
in making pork on corn and other
high-priced concentrates. The
pork producer and the breeder of
pure.bred stock in the South,
must alike learn tho lesson of a
maximum of cheap feeds harvested
largely by the hogs and minimum
OF concentrates. By growing two
crops a year of those feeds most
suitable for hog feeding, land
worth from SIS to $40 An acre
Will produce % much or more
pork than the lands of the great
hog raiaing States that are worth
from sloo 20 5000 per acre.
When the hogs are on oats,
wheat, barley Bermuda grass or
rspe, at least one.fourth of full
grain ration should bs given, con.
'istlng of about six or eight parts
of ocrn or rice byproducts and ons
part Of tRnkaes. When tho hog.
are the clt vers, cowpeas, soy
'eans aud peanuts, one-fourth of
l till gra u ratlon shon)d be given
;onsistl',g C, rn, or rice by-pro.
'iucts. Th,se supplemental feeds
must not IN any acoonns be omit.
ted. for they not only prove i'm
mensely profitable on their own
account. but add t. the value of
the cheap crops gathered by the
hogs and produce a healthier hog

Wheat Selection for Improving Both Yield
and Quality,

Let any farmer walk through
his field of wheat, and he viii
find that all the heads are no,
alike, even if sown from the best
standard varieties of seed wheat
He will find that some heads are
longer than others, some broader,
some with more grains TO the
bead, and some tighter in the
ohaff. and so on. It has recent
ly become fully known that most
of these variations, unless they
are directly induced by a patch
Of richer soil, are strictly and
fully Unbeatable and are trans
mitted to their progeny in full
vigor and perfection. If farmers
who are specially interested in
improving the yields and quality
of their wheats will 20 through
their fields at harvest time, aud
pick out the best heads from their
feds, and thresh and save them
for stock seed, they will fiLd that
it will result in considerable i'm
provement in the yield, quality
and uniformity of the crop pro.
duced another season. Even if
the farmer only picks out enough
heads to make q bushel to q bush.
el and a half Of select seed, this
will give him enough to SOW an
acre of wheat for the next season,
and that will produce a superior
grade of seed. The product of
this should give him sufficient
seed to give him a good start te-
wards his full seeding for the
following year.
We are following out this meth
cd of selection on our own farms
and We hope by this means to
eventually increase the yield of
different Varieties of wheat which
we offer, materially; but farmers
can accomplish very generally the
same results for themselves, if
they will follow out the practice
as above indicated, aud increased
yields per acre of all wheats sown
can very soon come to be realized,
provided this method is generally
praoticed in the saving aud selec-
tion of seed wheat Woods Crop

BILL TO CREATE cnILD'S BUREAU

in few days the bill creating q

and thus finally convert into law

urged upon Congress for five years
or more.
Secretary Nagel, under whose
supervision the new buteau will
perform its task, is enthusiastic
over the subject Of child uplift.
Protection Of the child is pro.

while, if he is entered on the

on this sui iect is informat,on."
The object of the bill is the
collection and dissemination OF
data relating to all phases ard
conditions Of child life The new
bureau will be especially charged
with investigating infant mortal.
ity, the birth rate, orphanage
juvenile courts, ..desertion, dan.
gerous occupations, accidents and
diseases of children, employed
and legislation affecting children
in the several States.
The result of the investigate ns
will be published from time to
time. This information collected
through the machinery of the
Federal govern ment, it is argued
by the proponents of the measure,
will be of inoalculable value to
the innumerable humanitarian
and sociological agencies through
out the Union. Some of the on.
thusiasts on the subject believe
this venture is the precursor of q
department of human welfare.
As soon as President Taft signs
the bill Secretary Nagel will ask
for an appropriation with which
to begin work. This probably
will be-. about s25, 900 fer the
first year.

curing an increased membership in

It was also stated that the
anthracite operators in some parts OF

great increase In membership, but
that the operators, as q general prop
osition, had decided that It was bet
ter for the United Mine Workers to
organize the fields than any other
organization, as the United Mine
Workers have respected contracts

In speaking Of the changed view

THE reversal Of opinion among the
big operators was largely brought
about by the realization Of the prac-
tical superintendentsr on the ground
that a continuation Of the old prac-
tees and hostility, would only tend
to interrupt operations and renew
the troubles that were so manifest
before John Mitchell's organization
came into the region.
For this reason the mine superin-
tendents are under orders not to in
