accomplished by agricultural education
and farmers organizations falling un-
der his observation, Mr.. Cook told
about the work of the Farmers Grange
before he was old enough to remem-
ber, followed by the Farmers Alliance
and later by the Farmers Union. Each
of these organizations with increasing
ability emphasized the necessity of
education and of practical cultivation.
! These organizations in his home COM
munity in Lowndes county have de-
veloped the country until land that
could have been bought in the early
days for $500 an acre is now consid-
cred to be some of the most valuable
in the state. Schools that formerly
were mere pensions, providing a job
for teachers who were not required to
take an examination, are now modern
educational institutions with well
trained instructors. Farmers who had
in the early days approached with
bended knee the bankers window are
now sought after for their banking
business. During the last forty years
there has been a wonderful develop
ment in that community. An entire
change has been wrought in the life
of the people. On every hill can be
ound comfortable homes provided with
many of the luxuries of life Each
farm is equipped with substantial
barns and stables. Fine livestock COW
er the pastures and almost every farm
er has money to loan.
When one of the first corn clubs
was organized in the community, the
director had to overcome a great diff
! ficulty in the form of parental objec-
tions on the part of some of the peo-
pie. One old gentleman finally con-
sented to allow his son to join the
club, saying he didn't care anything
about that "book larnin," though. Aft
er the crop was made and the father
gathered only 240 bushels of corn from
his twelve acres while the son threw
157 bushels into the barn from his one
) acre, the old gentleman conceded thai

here on complaint of a young woman
that he had called her "a chicken" in

AMERICAN RICE GROWERS
WANT TARIFF TO STICK.

Washington, Jan. 20.-Louisiana and
Texas rice growers, representing the
American Rice Growers Association.
told the members of the House ways
and means committee today why q
reduction in the tariff on rice would
mean the destruction of an industry
which has been developed after a dis
couraging fight against adverse con-
ditions. With a limited amount OF
protection, such as exists at present.
the delegates declared that rice could
be raised in the temperate zone and
thousands of acres, unsuited for other
purposes, could be utilized. Due to the
shorter growing season and the losses
from adverse weather it was stated
to be impossible to compete with rice
grown by cheap labor in tropical coun-
tries.

Powers to Resume HostiIities.


London, Jan. 20.-Full power to de-
clare a resumption of hostilities
against Turkey was telegraphed today
to DR.. Daneff, leader of the Bulgarian
delegation, and his colleagues by the
Bulgarian Premier, who told them to
exercise it whenever fuxther peace
negotiations became useless.
Representatives of the Balkan allies
will therefore notify General Savoff,
Bulgarian commander-in-chief, that the
armistice has come to an end as soon
as it becomes apparent there is no
hope of reaching a peace agreement.
Hostilities will then be begun after
four days notification.
Bulgarains have discovered that they
were misled in regard to conditions
prevailing in the Adrianople fortress
and that instead of the fortress being
in danger of capitulating any moment
on account of scant supplies, the Tur-
kish commander has supplies suffi-
cient to last several months.
