each year. Wherever they have been
held the attendance is always great
er the next time, proving conclusiVely
that the lecturers have hit the mark
and have told the farmers things that
have PANIED out. One South Geor-
gia farmer told one of the speakers on
the occasion of his second visit that
he had saved him $500 by his speech
the year before. Such words of ap-
probation of the practical information
given, are being frequently received.
If any farmer thinks that what
these lecturers are giving to the far.
mers is theoretical and not practical,
he is urged to go to the meetings and
prove it. While not infallible, the
staff members of the College of Agri-
culture do know a good many things
for certain that have been proven with
painstaking care and by unQuestionable
methods. 1t is these facts that they
are seeking to take to the farmer.
Nothing that has not been thoroughly
proven have they the right to adyo-
cate.
Go out to the farmers institute and
get further information. No one has
too much. It may mean the saying or
the making Of many dollars where
none is being made or saved by you
ut present.

IHOKE SMITH DELIVERED
ADDRESS TO ASSEMBLY

Atlanta, Ca, July 1S.-"As this is
the first time | have addressed my con
stituents since | entered the senate,
said United States Senator Hoke
Smith today at the capitol in opening
the speech he delivered by the unan-
imous invitation of the general as
sembly Il wish to speak of what has
been done at Washington and to give
some account of my stewardship"
And a magniicently complete ac-
count he gave, while the members of
legislature and hundreds of other Geor-
gians who thronged the galleries and
the back of the hall of representatives
listened attentively for an hour, ap-
parently forgetting all about the heat,
and applauding vigorously when the
speaker struck home chord. >,
The speech was full of high lights.
Telling how he spoke in the senate in
favor of the bill to create children
bureau, he declared, 81 would rather
see the national government raise the
money by income taxes and spend It
for such causes, than to leave the peo-
pie indebted to men of great fortunes
for charities
Senator Smith next took up the part
the senate had played in framing the
general arbitration treaties, and told
how the treaties were approved only
after a proviso had been added that
the treaties would not authorize the
submission to arbitration of any claim
concerning the question of the alleged
Indebtedness or moneyed obligations Of
any state of the United States.
Senator Smith expressed sympathy
with the efforts of the Californians to
protect themselves against Asiatic i'm
migration, and said that from the trout
bles out west, "the whole country is
realizing the difficulties with which We
have had to contend, and they are help
ing us make converts to the doctrine
that we must be left to handle our
troubles for ourselves"
Telling of the stand he took in con-
nection with the enormous sums paid
out of the U. S. treasury for persons
to civil war veterans iii the north, he
said, eleven southern states have paid
to union pensioners of the civil war the
entire value, in 1870, of their agricul-
tural lands, all improvements thereon
together with their agricultural i'm
plements and live stock" He said he
believed it the duty of southern sena-
tors to resist in every proper way any
increase in the enormous payments OF
these pensions. sf9

One cotton manufacturer who took
a course in cotton grading at the Col
lege of Agriculture claims that it
has saved him $4,000 a year. Eleven.
students have been placed in ware
houses and one in cotton breeding
work.
Sunbeam cotton which has been
bred at the College to become resis-
tant to anthracnose, is now distribut-
ed in II counties with about 5000
acres planted in 1918. 1t is already
saving about $4,000 annually to the
farmers. It's merits are resistance
to anthraenose, grades high in lint in
market, is early and big boiled and
thus well adapted to boil weevil con.

Senator Smith said that while not
opposed to the principles of the work
mems compensation act, he fought the
bill because the payments to be made
we're so small that he considered 1t
really bill to save the railroad cor
porations from their just liabilities.
Il gave my cordial support to the
income tax" he said, because l be-
lieve that the great wealth of the
country should bear it's full proper
ton of the burdens of government"
Senator Smith declared that for
Georgia the great value of the parcels
post lay in the fact that it would not
merely facilitate the exchange of pro-
ducts between merchants and custom
ers, but would facilitate the sale by
the farmer of his smaller farm prod
ucts. He said the government should
make some arrangement to take care Of
the expenses which rural carriers will
have because of the addition of the
parcels post. He said he favored ma
tional aid to bodybuilding. He urged
the value of vocational training. He
explained the measure of which he
himself was the author, establishing a
division of markets, to help farmers
market their crops to best advantage.
He declared that the senate democrats
had made the tariff bill more demo-
cratic than it was when it reached the
senate. He went in detail into the
senate's action on the tariff and ex-
planned it's reasons.
"And l want to tell you that we have
the votes in the senate to pass this
BILL" he Numbered out, amid great ap-
plause.
He predicted that currency legisla-
ton would free the country from de-
pendence on all street and would make
a currency panic impossible. He ended
with a tribute to President Wilson.
Senator Smiths speech is said to
be the most complete resume thus far
compiled by any democrat of what the
United States senate has accomplish
ed since the democrats came into pow
err. 1t was thrilling review, from tn ,
senate standpoint, of all that has TAX
en- place in Washington since March.

Guadalupe was once town of about 1900 in
habitants, a busting, thriving little community
with many characteristics borrowed from over
the line. The principal street had several ambi-
tious stores. There was a bank and telegraph
office and the houses of the better class were
commodous, Of plastered adobe, with patios filed
with flower beds. The rooms in some cases were
decorated and the furniture imported.
Ortega commander Of the thousand or SO men,
occupied what once the principal dwelling
of the town a pretentious Spanish home.
This happened to be the day before Ortega
broke camp, hoping to join Pancho villa In an
attempt to capture federal trains carrying 2,OoO'
600 pesos and $4,000 worth OF provisions to Chi
huahua Therefore the camp presented busy
scene. The only person who did not seem TO be
concerned was Ortega himself, who was propped
up a cot reading novel.
Ortega does not talk much His answers that
day were very brief He was fighting for the
constitution. which had been set aside by the
Huerta government after the assassination OF
President Madero. He would fight until constitu-
tional government was restored or he was killed.
Intervention? He did not fear 1t because he
believed in the good faith of the United States.
Mediation or arbitration? He would never con-
sent to either. Arbitration mediation, any
dealings whatever with the administration OF
Huerta, would amount to q recognition Of its
status. That would never be done.
Peace not impossible in Mexico, but could
come In only way and that was the with
drawal OF Huerta and his friends A provisional
president must be chosen according to the con-
stitution, some man who had not connected HIM
self with Huerta and had not connived at the
assassination. Seek out the man who would
have been president according to law If Madero
and Suarez had died naturally and install him
In once. If that were impossible, let Venustiano
Carranza be president until an election could be
held. Personally Ortega thought General Trevino
or DR.. Gomez might do. but not Huerta or De La
Barra or Diaz or any of that kind.
He well satisfied with the progress of the
revolution. The Constitutionalists occupied and
dominated the greater part OF the country and
II the embargo on munitions OF were re-
.pealed they would drive the federals out OF the
field in ninety days. He had about 1900 men,
we'll armed, plenty OF ammunition and plenty Of
food. He was to march away very soon to Join
Villa What the plans were he could not say,
but decisive blow would be struck. He would
say nothing further and in the meantime dinner
was ready.
