First learn your soil, then find the
crops to flt the soil. Low yields will
soon bring ruin. Work for quality
6rst, then quantity. Making the farm
pay is just the same as making any
pther business pay. Know the eco
pomic and climatic conditions of the
locality and choose the farming sys.
tenn that accords with conditions.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington CITY.

SpIuoly ~, lO1E.
Georgia is pretty well represented in
Washington
Senator Bacon is recognized as one
Of the ablest members of the Senate
and takes part in great many dis
cussiOns. Senator Hoke Smith was
already national figure and has at
once taken a foremost place in the
body.
In the House Georgia is represented
by painstaking and capable Congress
men who are working for their con-
stituents and not frittering their time
away with matters that are not of sub
stantial service.
Senator Bacon possesses the distinc-
ton Of having come within one vote of
the nomination for Governor of Geor-
gia. That was in 1883. He was elect
ed to the Senate in 1894 and has, there
fore. served about eighteen years. He
is the same genial, courtly gentleman
shat he was when he was Speaker of
the Georgia Legislature. He has
changed but little in appearance and
carries his seventy three years with
an elastic step. He does not seem to
be over sixty. Senator Bacon's term
will expire in March, 1913. There is
some talk that he may be opposed by
= Congressman Tom Hardwick, of the
Tenth.
Senator Hoke Smith is sixteen years
younger than Senator Bacon and is not
yet fftyseven. His term will not ex-
pire until March, 1915.
a-~asA, ~~mA
have been turning the subject over
il my mind and have reached the con-
c.usion that when the people send a
good man to the Senate the people get
the best of the bargain The salary is
$500 year. That will not much more
than pay the board of Senator's fami-
~ and if he keeps house would not
begin to pay his expenses.
Some rich Senators give their sala-
ries to their secretaries. | am not
throwing this out as hint to anybody,
because money is no object to me and

CONSIDER PENSION
FUND PROPOSAL
House Committee to Take Up Bill
Allowing Use Of District Rev
enue to Meet Deficiency.

Representative Redfeid's bill substitute
ing the CarlIn measure, which puts all the
revenue OF the District at the disposal
OF the police and firemen's pension fund,
will be the principal msasursf called up
before the House District Committee at
its session this morning. Other meas
ures, notably the bill introduced by
Chairman johnson at the request OF the
District Commissioners. which puts the
police and ffremen's retirement plan on
a permanent basis. will probably be
heard. but not be voted on.
Mr.. Redfield announced yesterday that
he would call up his bill this morning
and expected to get a vote on II before
the committee adjourned. This measure
was Introduced two weeks ago and diff
fers from all previous bills, tending to
make up the existing deficiency in the
fund in that It allows any District rev.
enue to be used where other measures
have specified certain sources from which
this fund could draw.
In connection with the pension matter
the Commissioners yesterday forwarded
to Chairman johnson an adverse recon-
mendatiOn OF the bill introduced by Rep
resentative Kahn which proposes to pen
sion at $50 a month ten hremen who
served In this city under Mayor SayIes J.
Bowen from 1868 to 1870.
In their opposition to the Kahn meas
ure the Commissioners say:
IF the Commissioners were to recon-
mend the precedent which this bill pro-
poses TO set they could not consistently
refuse 10 act favorab4y upon proposals 70
extend pension relief to any dicharged
