years, until it reaches its maxi
mum yield. The thing of our
lands will do more to increase
the wealth Of our country than
anything that we can possibly do.
| believe that every farmer
should build substantial cotton
houses convenient to each block
of land, where he can care for
his cotton in the seed until he
gets ready to gin and market it.
This will enable him to gin and
market his cotton as per the de-
mand of the market. This will
also make it impossible for his
cotton to be counted until it is
ginned.
With the productiveness of our
lands raised to the highest point
by the plan | have just outlined,
our country will support twice
the population that it does and
the land will double in value.
With our wealth increased, as it
is possible for it to be increased.
| would urge the building OF
good roads all over this fair land
of ours.
The only way to have good
roads is by levying a tax on all
of our taxable property, to be
used in some prescribed way for
the building and maintaining of
roads. The saving in the cost
of transportation each year will
more than pay the tax of each
individual for that purpose. 1t
matters not how poor a citizen
may be, he cannot afford to vote
and work againt good roads. for
when he does he is. voting to
keep the prices Of the land down
and to keep his children in ignor-
ance; for without good roads we
cannot have good schools. The
building of good roads will do
more to keep the farmer and his
family satisfied to remain on
their farms than anything that
could be done. Good roads will
attract good citizens from other
sections, who are sure to come
for the PURPOSE of buying cheap
lands on which to reside.
| intend with the labor on my
place and with the material at
hand to build the yery tast road

Mace which@
Dad. | am going to do be-
cause the road in questi5H gets
almost impossible and because a
good road along by my place will
be a good advertisement for the
place; it will also help to keep
the question of good roads before
those travelling over it.
With our country having be-
come more prosperous and intel
ligent on account of the increas-
ed prosperity, which will be
brought about by adopting the
improved methods which | have
suggested, we are now ready to
give our attention to the question
of schools.
l believe in compulsory educa-
ton and the consolidation of our
rural schools, having one school
situated In the center or eacn
township Of land. Of course,
this will increase the distance
considerable, but the remedy is
the establishment of the wagon
service, which can be done at
a small expense to the head of
each family. | mean by the
wagon service, to let some one
have the contract to go around
with a vehicle, properly fitted up
for that purpose, and collect the
children and carry them to school,
returning them to their homes
after school has been dismissed.
The consolidation Of the schools
will enable each school district to
have a suitable building comfort

The South And It's Needs.

The South and it's needs, as
they present themselves to me
after having studied conditions,
as | saw them, in other sections
where | have been.
From my standpoint, the three
most urgent needs of the South
are a more intensive system of
farming, better public highways
and better public schools.
| shall take up and discuss
farming first, for if we do not
increase the yield of our farms,
thereby increasing our income
from same, we cannot hope to
build and maintain better high
ways and schools.
1t is unfortunate for the de-
velopment of our country that
large bodies of land are owned
bv non-residents, who, | am
sure, derive a very small rate of
interest from their investments.
1t would be an act of patriotism
if all owners of large bodies of
land would cut up their holdings
into small farms and sell them
to actual settlers. In the irri-
gated district of the Pecos valley
in New Mexico, where the gov
eminent has control, you cannot
buy land without entering into a
contract to actually reside on it
in person. l shall urge, first,
a reduction in the size Of
the crops given to our tenants to
cultivate. | firmly believe that
by reducing the number of acres
to be cultivated by each hand
from Is to 333 per cent, that we
will make it possible to raise fully
SO per cent more on said land.
The time to begin preparing for
a crop is just as soon as the
crops are gathered. The way to
prepare is by turning over the
land, understanding the stalks
and a~ccumulations that are to be
found on it just after the crops
are laid by. This should all be
done, if possible, before the
freezes of winter set in. By so
doing. the f~oulness that was
turned under will be thoroughly
rotted by spring. Just as soon
after, Christmas as weather.
ditioh3-will permit. WE S
begin putting our land in con-
dition for planting. This shoull
be done by thorough blowing ana
narrowing. The more work that
is done on land before planting,
the less that it will be necessary
to do on it after it is planted.
With the soil thoroughly puIver-
lied, and the rows properly laid
off we are ready to begin putting
in the seed; provided the time of
year has come for planting.
After making the thorough
preparation that l have just de-
scribed, we need have no fear
of failing to get a stand, which
means more to the farmer than
most of them realize; for with
out a good stand we needn't ex-
pect a full yield.
The selection of seed is of
great Importance. We cannot
hope to raise the best grades of
cotton and other farm products
unless we use good judgment in
the selection of seed, any more
than we can hope to raise
thoroughbred live stock from
scrub ancestors. We should be
very sure to plant enough land
in corn and the different feed
stuff to supply all of our needs;
and then put the balance in cot
ton, letting that be the surplus
crop instead of the principal one,
as it is now. All land planted
in corn should be planted with
peas before it is lai9-by, which
will most surely increase the
yield from said land, causing it
to be supplied with the necessary

in accordance with the traditions Of
the race.
Around the sacrificial stone viii be
four Aztec maidens whose attire, even
in Its merest detail, is historically cor
rect and an exact replica Of the fem
mime apparel Of that time, as the orig
1nal specimens extant in the national
museum Of archaeology and history
Of Mexico City will show. The maids
will be seen burning the sacred fire
OF the three national cOlOrs, green,
white and red, thus symbolizing the
unlying love OF country of the Mex
lean people. These modern Vestals
are surrounded by the tricolor flag,
adopted at Iguala before the consuma-
ton Of Mexican independence in 1921.
On both sides Of the float are seen
designs and hierOglyphs Of Aztec
architecture, of brilliant colors. all Of
which are reproductions Of original
drawings.
On the rear Of the float is a por-
ton of an Aztec temple crowned by a
large and beautiful gilded eagle,
which symbOlizes old Tenoxtitlan
(the present City of Mexico), which
was founded on Lake Texcuco, at a
certain place where a numerous tribe
Of Aztecs observed an eagle devOur-
ing a serpent. The eagle and serpent
are the emblem OF the Mexican coat
Of arms.
In the rear OF the fragment OF the
temple is seated another warrior, bow
and arrow in hand, ready to repeI any
invasion of a rival tribe.
Placed conveniently, are some palms
and other samples Of the national
flora, as well as one or two parrots
representing the FAUNA of tropical
