MAKING LAND IN THE sol en-.

At last the government is turning
from the profitable Irrigation of wild
lands in the far West to the drainage
OF large areas OF unfruitful land in
the South.
The population of the country has
been increasing at the rate OF 1900
QUO annually and the production OF
our necessary food supply has not
been keeping the right pace with IT.
There has followed great advance
in the cost of food supplies For de-
cades the people have revelca in tho
wealth of our national resources. The
natural limit has been reached at
last, and the government VIII have to
develop moro land in tho South
Up to this time the public domain
has been so extensive that virgin land
could be had for the asking. There
are bu; few farms now to give away.
Already 6oo,eoo.o0o acres west OF tho
95th meridian have been taken up by
settlers and are largely food pro-
ducing, There arc left sut $500, 900
acres. and mulch OF this is wild noun
tain land.
The Boston Globe very truly says
that there are in the Souta idle lands
as rich as the delta lands of the
Nile They need development by
drainage. Tho government ought to
take up this work as soon as possible.

SPEAKER BYnp's ADVICE.

Speaker Byrd demonstrated last
night by his speech before the Dcmo-
cratic caucus his singular and conspic-
uous fltncss for the office as Speaker of
the House OF Delegates. With such n
summary before them of the work that
Virginia has accomplished in the past
and the obligations and difficulties that
confront It in the future, the Lcgisla-
ture could have no valid excuse or ex-
PLANTATION for being led into uuwise
and ill-cons!dered expenditures.
The Times Dispatch thoroughly
agrees with Speaker BYRD that the
Dairy and Food Commission, the Board
OF Public Health. tho State Epleptic
Colony, the Catnwbn Sanatorium
and the Highway Commission are cx-
eellcnt and most desirab State actiHi-
ties. The difficulty about the creation
of those departments in the nrst in
stance ts tho question whether the Leg
isla Iure knew at the time that these
laws were passed that the state did
not have the money then to meet these
added obligations. Now that We are In
formed frankly and fully as to our IL
panoial condition and know exactly to
what extent We may hope 10 make APP
preparations for the next two years. i'll
will be a comparatively easy matter
for the Legislature to wisely and salts
fectorily determine which Of the varl-
Gus proposals laid before It are
most deserving of State assistance
Yet there is much OF comfort and err
eouragement In Speaker's Byrds adj
dress. The need for fair dealing. the
crying demand for G. recasttng of our
State expenses, viii bring to the mind
OF :he Legislature, as nothing else short
of some public calamity could. tha
need OF tax reform. 1t IS marvellous
how Virginia has thriven and pros
pered under the cruel and unjust bur
den laid on the citizens of this state
by tax laws that are little short of
barbarous. 1t was under MIR. Byrd
speakership and largely due to his
efforts and TO the teachings OF ;hi5
paper that the FIRST tax commission
Va
in the report OF the commission and in
his own speech, his clear and vigorous
understanding of what is involved in
our present tax laws. There Is much
before the Legislature requiring surc-
ful thought and wise action, but there
Is no proposition before the state OF
Virginia that involves the welfare OF
as many people so vitality and so close
ly as the reform OF our present tax
cxactione. With Richmond paying
more net revenue than all OF the 100
counties combined. with the black
counties out OF their poverty coutrl-
butins to the intentional or thr!ftless
Expectations of white counties in the
Southwest with overassessmcnt in
some parts OF the State and gross un.
derassessment in others, the people
Of Virginia are being exposed 10 u sys-
TEN that undea the .guise Of equa!
handed law rs az tntriasieally unjust
&c were ever the unrcasonlng ea:or-
tIons eli an Oriental tax gathcrcr.
II Nr Byrd Is able to prevail upon
The Legislature to put into actual nrac-
ticc the principles he has so cogeatiy
set forth. V!Eginians yet unborn win
have daily occasion TO remember with
thanksgiving the Legislature Of 1912.

DELICATE CHILDREN

 tI wish I could induce every moth. CT who has a delicate sicltIy child, to try your delicious cod liver iron ionic, Yinol.
 "It restored our litfa daugbter to health and strength after everything else had failed. 1t tastes so good she loved to take it--not a bit of cod liver oil taste-Mrs. C. W. stump, Canton, Ohio"
 The reason yinol is so successful in building up puny, = children, is because it is q eomDtna- ton of the two most world-famed ton ics-the medicinal bodybuilding ele- ments of cod liver oil, aided by the blood-making and strength-creating properties of tonic iron.

WHAT TIE uxIolV THE RENTER

One of the topics selected for
 discussion during this year was
 the relatixn of the Union to the
 renter. This phase of influence
 is not different in solution from
 any other work of the organiza-
 tion. The meaning of the or
 ganization to the farm renter Is
 what the renters in the organi- zation make 1t mean to them.
 There are plenty of renters in
 the Union to make and do any thing reasonable.
 Everything it has done for the farmer has been for the benefit of the renter as well as for the landhoIder. If 1t has raised pr:ces on farm products. thef reater got the benefit of it. r. it bought things cheaper. the renter got the benefit of 1t. If 1t brought better farming meth ods and the farmer together, the renter could profit by t. If itI improved community life socially, the renter was benifciary. If 1t caused farmers to think out rural problems, the renter was the better off thereby. If 1t helo- ]. ed to check the credit and mort gage habit, it was to the advan- tage of the renter. If 1t has been . worth anything in the way of . securing legislation. the renter has come in for his share of the benefits. If it is easier to get money advanced on crops stored that the grower may tide over depression in the selling season, the renter has had the same op- portunity in the privilege.
 One thing the Union has help ed to do that was to the advan- tage of the landlord and not to the advantage of the renter; it helped to raise the price of land by raising the price of the pro- duets of the land T. is ae harfi for a renter to pay for q home today with present prices of farm products and land at present prices as it Was for Jim to buy a home before there Was a=Farm- CTS.

A convention of renters was held in Waco. Texas, not long since, remarkable for being the first of it's kind. Dealing with Texas conditions alone, it report ed that there are 100000 tenant farmers in Texas, according tc the census of 1910. The most of these are cotton raisers and their net annual income after the pay ment of the landlords share could, in the vast majority oi cases, be denominated in les. than three figures.
 As remedial measures the con- vention promulgated the follow ing sugp estIons.
 Whereas, the present tenant system, through lack of proper Improvements, oVercropping and single cropping is causing the soil to lose it's fertility and yield unsatisfactory returns. and,
 Whereas, the increase in land values has made it impossible for the tenant, under ordinary con- to buy and pay for land; and,
 Whereas, these conditions are forcing the landless farmei to live in miserable shacks an are keeping the women and children in the fields to such an extent as to be exceedingly detrimental to mental and physical well-being of our people and a menance to the homes and social institutions of our State; and,
 Whereas, the acreage of cul- ,ivated farming lands in Texas 1as decreased from 125. 000, GOO n 1900 to 100, GOO, GOO in 1911; md,
 Whereas, white tenants have increased from 165, GOO in 1900 to 209, GOO in 1910. and the number If negro and Mexican tenants md farm laborers has greatly in and,
 Whereas, many landlords de nand contracts that interfere with the political and personal liberty of Che tenant, as well as he manner in which he eult- 'ates his crop.
