Madison dispatch says that Assem-
blyman Paul of Rock county has a
measure in preparation which seeks to
regulate the practice of buying tobacco
and other growing crops in the field
under contract, the terms of which lead
to SO much litigation between growers
and buyers. The bill, while general in
its nature, will especially apply to the
tobacco crop, major portion of which
is contracted for while the crop is
growing, under stipulations and agree
ments which tend to create law suits
and to misunderstanding. Assembly
man Paul comes from the tobacco
growing section of the state and is
familiar with all the details of the to-
bacco business. In spite of the con-
tracts made between growers and pur-
chasers for the crop in the field, when
the time comes for delivery practice
of docking has prevailed that works to
the disadvantage of the farmer and with
loss frequently to the buyer. In their
zeal to control the crop of certain fav-
ored sections, buyers invade the farms
and make tempting offers for the grow
ing crop. Options are secured and the
crop is subjected to all the incidents of
weather and curing conditions. FIRE.
quently what in the field appeared a
most excellent crop prospect turns out
partial failure in quality and guam
tity. Both parties to the transaction
are disappointed. The bill to be intro
duced by Assemblyman Paul seeks to
put an end if possible to this option
the production of crop before sale
is made. He is consulting with those
familiar with the details of tobacco
growing and marketing and it is likely
that bill along the lines suggested
will meet with legislative favor.

LANCASTER, Pa, Jan. 20, 1913.
At the rate at which what remains
of the 1912 tobacco crop of Lancaster
county is selling, estimated at about &c
per cent, there will still be some un-
contracted for by the time seed plant
ing time comes. Even though able to
buy any quantity of good tobacco at
ten cents, the local packers are not

Whether matters of the kind COM
planned of above can be remedied by
statute law is mooted question. There
are vastly too many attempts to regu-
late everything by law already. 1t is
doubtful if any law could be made to
apply ito the sale of tobacco that would
not equally apply to the sale of every
other product. The general farmer is
quite apt to object to having restric-
tions placed on the sale of his produce,
and we think very properly so, too. BY
far the better method, to our notion,
would be to create a sentiment among
tobacco growers that their best inter-
ests lie in refusing to sell their crops
until such time as they are positive
about the merits Of it and have some
idea of its relative value. A campaign
of education along these lines is more
to be desired than any law upon the
subject. A statute law that no pig
should be sold until it reached certain
age and weight would be mighty un-
popular law among farmers, we imag-
ine Persuasion might induce people
to do certain things that if prevented
by law would prove very Objectionable.
The world is largely averse to being
coerced.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1913-02-07

The gist of the proposed law is as
follows: Section l. There is added to
the statutes a new section to read: Sec
tion 1670m. l. Any person, firm or
corporation in this state that shall en-
ter into any contract for the purchase
of any crop that is not ready for imme-
date delivery shall in all cases weigh,
or cause to be weighed, the crop so
purchased, at or before the time such
crop is delivered to the purchaser, or to
common carrier at the direction of
the purchaser for shipment, and every
such person, firm or corporation shall
ultimately make payment in full for
all of the crop SO purchased according
to the weight so ascertained and at the
price or amount specified in the con-
tract, without regard to the quality
thereof at the time of delivery (unless
the inferior quality or unsound condi-
tion shall be due to the negligence or
wilful act of the vendor), subject to
such purchase, and in case any pur-
chaser should fail or refuse to comply
with his contract as provided in this
section, the vendor, in any action pros
ecuted by him to recover for any crop
sold to such purchaser, shall recover as
damages for such failure or refusal,
double the contract purchase price of
such crop at the weight thereof when
ready for delivery and offered or ac-
cepted by the purchaser.

GEORGIA PRODUCTS DAY.

From the Atlanta Journal.
The Georgia Chamber of Commerce
has hit upon a singularly happy plan
for launching its statewide campaign
of education and development. 1t
has designated Tuesday, November
18th, as Georgia Products Day."
on which occasion the people will be
reminded as never before of the won
derful richness and variety of the
states farming and industrial re-
sources. The governor will be asked
to issue a proclamation taking Off
cial cOgnizance of the day and the
mayor in each town and city will be
requested to do likewise. The dis
tinctive feature of the program, how
ever, will be the public banquets held
at six o'clock in the evening through
out the state and made up entirely
of Georgia-raised and Georgia-made
products.
The State Chamber OF Commerce
has offered in this connection three
substantial prizes, one for the largest
list of Georgia products, suitable for
service at the banquets; another for
the best menu that could be used at
any of the banquets, and a third for
the best menu that is actually served
on this occasion anywhere in the
state. This offer should kindle rare
interest in every home and among
all the people. 1t should prove with
in itself peculiarly educational, for
the briefest reflection upon Georgia's
food products will bring to mind a
great store of good things that would
set the oldest epicurean dancing. 1t
is to be hoped that school children
as we'll as their elders will take part
in this interesting contest.
Some one hundred and fifty towns
have already signified their purpose
to observe Georgia Products Day by
holding on the evening Of the eigh-
teenth a banquet at which Georgia
raised and Georgia-made products
alone will be served and at which
new plans for developing the states
practical interests will be discussed
and put under way. Every county
and every town should join in this
admirable enterprise. 1t will mark,
as we have said, the opening of the
great campaign which the Georgia
Chamber of Commerce is to conduct
for the states upbuilding. The sue
cess of the chambers plans will mean
incalculable good to farmers, to mer-
chants, to manufacturers and to all
other Georgians; it will mean better
roads and better schools, a finer pa
triotism and a closer fellowship; it
will mean a new era of progress and
renown for our commonwealth.

Self Reliance
By George Mathew Adams.


Self-reliance is digging your own
well and then drawing up the water
yourself. It's taking the tool chest
that God Almighty has willed to you
and using each one OF its tools for
the building of a character. Also
it's driving your own cows to pasture
as well as milking them each day
yourself.
Self-reliance is believing that you
have-and proving it.
There is only one way to get self
reliance into your system and that
way is to go after it. But the very
moment you start for it you have it.
Self-reliance is personal and individ-
ual. You can never get the self
reliance of anyone else to work for
you.
Self-reliance, however, must be
beaconed fort doesn't come with
out being called.
But self-reliance is not patting
yourself on the back. 1t is not over
confidence, nor is it conceit. 1t is get
IIuS SQUARE we" upOh SOIHS UGH
mite task and then giving yourself
a vigorous shove towards its accom-
plishment For self-reliance is moth
ing if it isn't action, action, action
worth while action.
Just the moment you adopt self
reliance you start to become self
masterful.
The self-reliance man asks no man
TO tune his whistle-asks no man to
tie his shoe strings. For in self-re-
lance there is a grandness of feeling
bordering upon kingliness. And out
from its atmosphere comes the
of all time. So, you
better run your own shop. No one
knows how quite so we'll as yourself.
