NEW OBJECTION TO LURE"
Employment Agents Strenuously Op'
pose Present Form Of Play.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir. The employment agents have read
I'm tho papers that the indecent scene In
the play called The Lure" has been Gu.
out because Of the filth and an employ
ment agency substituted for the brothel.
This is unjust TO employment agencies.
which are probably. without exception. az
moral as any business in tho city. There
IS less immortality in the employment
agencies OF New York than I'm doctors
Offices or Ice cream or hotel parors. In
fact. AT present | cannot think OF any
general line OF business better conducted.
When tho persons who concocted this
foul and nlthy play arranged 1t at first
they had not thought about employment
agencies. Employment agencies were
moral enough then. But when the police
stopped tho play because OF its vileness
and demoTalzng effect and the promoters
were threatened with the loss OF their
dollars unless they modified II, the idea
occurred that an employment agency
might be substituted. I do not suppose
that the promoters Of this so-called play
have read the recent reports Of the Com
missioner OF Licenses on tho conditions
or the employment abeHCIcs Oh Now iolh'
II so, they might have substituted a
grocery store.
] don't suppose that the promoters OF
this so-called play have read much OF
anything that contains useful informa-
ton. All they think of and know Is how
TO get money out OF the pockets OF those
who have bestlal laundering after vul-
garlty and indecency. OF course. we re-
allze that the play was written for those
who Ike filth. and when tho worst OF the
Nth * cut out there is very little further
to attract any but the prurient minded
and those described by the play.
The employment agencies. through the
United Employment Agents Association
OF Greater New York. are deeply shocked
ut the SANDER. and counsel has been con-
suited In order TO see II this nefarious
use of reputable business cannot be
enjoned by law.

OF abuses In applying this highly discriminatory
form OF taxation. The House yielded on the $1,000

nue. legislation than could have been safely antlci-
pated six months ago. Men Congress began its

WHAT CORN MEANS
TO THE SOUTH

C. F Hunnicut, Editor of Southern
Cultivator, in Columbia State)
God in the construction of this uni
verse did not make things simple
and isolated, but complex and one in
termingled with another Like the
veins that ramify the human body, de-
pendent upon and sustained by the
bone, flesh and muscles of the body,
and yet in turn sustaining and giving
life to them. Corn stands for bread,
and bread we are truthfully told IS
the staff of life-the staff of life not
only for mankind but for all animal
life as we'll So it would seem that
any one could readily see that corn is
the first great essential to life itself.
While this is true, we not only want
to live, but civilization has developed
in us ten thousand wants and diverted
human energies into one thousand diff
ferent channels. In this diversity CT
human endeavor we often lose sight
of such an essential thing as corn and
the great part it plays in our develop
ment and the many ways that its in
tluence ramifies our complex human
society. Corn is a necessity to every
living individual in the South. Cora
is one of the pillars upon which the
great structure of human society is
builded, and hence in turn the deyel-
opment of the South may attain to
will largely depend upon the amount
of corn she produces and the use she
makes of it. The first duty of the
South is to feed herself, and then 50
far as the manufacturers will give us
ii fair price for our cotton, to help
clothe the world. The same is true Of
the farmer, his first duty is to grow
enough corn to support his farm and
then grow all the cotton he can after
this is done.
Our people have been so blinded
with the feecy staple that few of them
comprehend the true value of corn.
As one must live before he needs
clothes, so corn comes first and IS
more important than cotton. The past
policy of the South to grow cotton
and buy corn from the Northwest has
been wrong, and a suicidal one. It is
putting our very life into the hands
of others and making our Southland
doubly pendent-dependent for food
and dependent upon the cotton buyers
for the price of our staple with which
to buy our corn. Now, we have taken
a long Van Wrinkle slumber, and we
are beginning to awake and open our
eyes to the truth of the situation and
to see that, while cotton may be a
good thing, corn must come first. II IS
not within my power to picture truly
what corn means to the South If we
have made the wonderful growth and
progress that we have since the war,

of cotton over half So taken from a
cotton production standpoint, corn
means the prosperity of the South, and
through growing our supply of corn,
alone, can we attain our highest de-
gree of prosperity
1t has been my good fortune to see
corn grown in various sections Of
South Carolina and other Southern
states. | have results from returns,
adult farmers and from boys who be-
long to the corn clubs. Now, some
claim that they have grown corn as
cheap as 10 and Is cents per bushel
and those who go at it under normal
conditions can grow it for % cents
Per bushel; but put it so cents per
bushel and then it is only half what
our average farmer has to pay for it,
besides losing so much valuable time
hauling it out when he should be ut
work in his crop. No farmer in this
day and time is excusable for not do
ing good work and for not using the
host p1afhndc
agency to help him, the government,
the experiment station and agricul-
tural colleges, the agricultural press
and even the daily papers give good
farm information. So, if any farmer
does not know how to grow corn prof
itably, he should learn to do so at
once. 1t requires many million bush
els of corn to do the state of South
Carolina and each Southern state so
if We grow it at a profit here is an OPP
portunity to make many millions of
dollars for ourselves even in the
growing of it, besides saving the en-
9rmous outlay that it costs to import
it.
In the matter of corn growing South
Carolina has a most envable record
among her sister Southern states in
several ways. First, she has the hon
or of holding the worlds record on
the amount of corn grown upon al
acre. With all the modern agencies
and stimulus given to growing large
yields, DR.. brakes yield of 265 BUSH
els upon single acre has never been
equaled Secondly, South Carolina held
the first great corn show in the South
in the holding of the South Atlantic
Corn Exhibition held in Columbia dur
ing the fall of 1910. Third, the VIII
hanson plan of growing corn as Civ
en- by e. McIver Williamson Of OAR
lington county, S. c., has done more
to increase the yield Of corn in the
South than any other agency. 1t at
once made it possible for any farmer
on any kind of poor dirt to make a
good crop Of corn. BY its means
thousands of our farmers trebled and
quadrupled their yields in single
year. Largely through the William
son plan has the state of South Cor
DINA been enabled to increase her
corn crop 100000 bushels of corn
in single year Fourth, there is now
being held in Columbia the first ma
tional corn show to come South t
