rRoGREssIxENEss I'M sou1H
Or. Maurice =. Esan, MInlefNr to
Denmark, Relate His viewo OF the
Farmers OF Dixie.

A new solution for the high cost or
living problem has been found by DR..
Maurice Francis Egan, American min
lister to Denmark, after month's
Journey through the south. Mr.. Egan
was invited to make the trip by the
Southern Commercial Congress, Ia
order to lecture on farming In Dixie"
Mr.. Egan's opinion Of the farmer
OF the states he visited is not very,
fattering, but be declares that they
are rapidly advancing, and in the
course Of time will be on par. IN
80 far as efficient conservation on
crops ia concerned, with the r71ralites
Of Denmark" 70 newspaper repre-
sentative Mr.. Egan said: /,
1.-The Danish farmers are an inteh-
gent class of persons and devote alA
their time to close study Of their soil
and how to improve its income. They
are all members Of the Cooperative
Society, which, to my mind, is the
solution OF the high cost of living
problem. Such society does away
absolutely with the middleman, and
In addition to reducing the price or
the commodity to the. consumer, yields
larger profit to the producer.
Denmark iss purely an agricultural
country. There are no industries and
no minerals, therefore, the people
must turn their attention to earn their
living by agricultural pursuits. They
have their choice between conserving
heir soil and emigrating, and they
have chosen the former with all the
patriotism worthy of good Danes.
"An opinion I formed On my trip
may surprise the majority Of your
readers, but I am convinced that 1t is
fact. I believe that the farming
country of the southern states Is more
adapted to the production of butter,
eggs and bacon than 1t Is for the rails
'ng of cotton and tobacco
Denmark farmers get every inch
of fertility out of their soil, while
American farmers do not. One Mis-
sssippi farmer told me that he had
exhausted three farms, and Woului
again move as soon as the one he is.
now ti!ling Is exhausted. Denmark
'armers are educated and do not 'ex-
haust' their soil They believe In
rotaticn of crops. A specialist visits
each farmer every eighteen months
and explains the workings Of the
farm
The southern farmers are showing
great interest In conservation, and
ore becoming more open-m!nded-
They are ever ready to receive sug-
gestions which will enable them to
profit most and should be. 1t is
nathetic to note that these men. who
live on the most beautiful and fertile
soil in the world. do not realize their
advantages. There the cattle could
craze all the year round. AS 1t is.
the feeding of live stock is much neg
lected.
THE key that will release Them
from their handicap Is found in the
cooperative system and education"

EDUCATION FOR TIE FARMER
Department Of Agriculture Distributes
Thousands of Publications on
Modern Methods.

Men who were farmers fifteen years

uess men, would find a vast change in
the methods of tilling the soil and
raising crops were they to return to
heir original way of earning lireli
hood. Farming methods have under.
gone wonderful transformation.
Many labor-saving devices have been
invented. new ways Of dealing with
ISarasites have been discovered, in

system of rotating crops is in force.

ricuture From statement jus. is
sued, it appears that nearly 200,000.-
900 publications of all kinds have been
printed and distributed since Score
tary Wilson assumed control. More
than half that number has been cir
culated In the last five years. Four
hundred and fifty different pamphlets,
discussing subjects Of special interest
to farmers and expressed in terms un-
derstood by all, have been issued. and

the hands of applicants, mostly farm
ers. who had need Of the information
they contained; and of these more
than 3J,G00,Ch0 were distributed with.
in the last five years. The magnitude
of this work of disseminating the in.
formation so earnestly sought and so
carefully verified is only measurable
by the immense advance OF scientific
agricultural knowledge and prac!lce
BY the progressive farmers of he
country. 1t has cost many thousands

ROOSEVELT FLAYS
WILSON ON TRUSTS
Claims Governor Failed, When
He Had the Opportunity. to
Disband Monopolies.

JERSEY CITY. Nov. 1.-The fe4-
lowing statement Of Colonel Roose-
welt vas read at political gatherings
by George L. Record last night.
LAS regards the trust, l ask you 10
compare what I did as President with
what the Democratic candidate fer
the Presidency has done while Goy-
ernor of New Jersey. He has an
nounced thai the State, and not the
nation, can solve the trusf question.
and if this is correct New Jersey II
the State which should act first, II
has far and away more to do with
the trusts han any State in the
Union.
Most of the great trusts. such as
the Standard Oil, the Tobacco, the
Steel, the Meat Trust and the Like.
are Incorporated in New Jersey The
Governor. under the law of New Jer-
sey. has the amplest means for taking
action against any trust that has be-
haved improperly, and the Legisla-
ture is especially given the power to
repeal OF amend the charter Of anx
trust-a power which, of course. It
will not exercise unless the Governor
gives his permission.
Yet during the last two years nox
one step has been taken by the Gov
ernor about the trusts, not a step t.
better conditions in the slightest de-
gree. And when the Governor failed
to lead. a Republican member Of the
Senate and a Democratic member of
the House actually introduced the Bin
dealing with the trusts matter them
selves.
yet, after this had been done, the
Governor failed to take a single step-
I ask o to contrast this with the
long record Of achievements in deal
ing with the trust situation which
marks my own term as President
And, remember that, whereas this
Governor of New Jersey during. fl1e
last two years has not tried to get
from a friendly Legislature the action
which, according to his own state
ment, is was necessary to obtain
against the trusts. [. during my term
as President. by sheer ~hammerinz
and hard fighting. actually SUGGESTED

ant quantity of legislation from ,
hostile Congress.
This Congress was dominated IN
the Senate by Senator Aidrich, IN the
House by Speaker Cannon. and Z
succeeded in getting this legislation
right in the teeth of the opposition ct
these two powerful r~eactionary lead
ers. There is not a reactionary IN
New Jersey who has a tenth or )
hundredth part of the power char
either Senator A1drich or Speaker
Cannon had in the national Congress
and yet / succeeded in getting action
in spite of their opposition, whereas
the Governor has not even tried tp

sition to contend with"
