Both the House and Senate Demo
Gratis placed jute bagging and cotton
ties on the free list. Both placed wire
fencing on the free list. Both placed
agricultural implements on the free

two years ago, when passed by the
House and rejected by the Senate, isl
now contained in the tariff bill whichl
passed the House and which has been
approved by the Democratic caucus of
the Senate without dissenting vote. !
And what | wish to say to you tOdayl
is we have the votes in the Senatel
to pass the BILL
The Currency Eill.
On the currency bill Senator Smith
said he was opposed to substituting
three per cent. bonds for the two perl
cents. now used as basis for the IA
tional bank currency, but favored pa
ing off the bonds with treasury nOtes.
He said:
I'VE have now $685., SOC, 600 Of gold
coin deposited in the treasury, and
gold certificates issued for it, These
gold certificates circulate as money all
over the United States. We have $780,
00O,0 900 reserve gold held against $685.
100000 of what is commonly called
greenbacks. We have sos, 500, 600 Of
unapplied gold in the treasury. Our
gold coin in the treasury amounts to
1929, 000,0 900.
1--WE could easily substitute. treasury
notes for the gold certificates and for
the greenbacks. If we then further
more substituted treasury notes for the
national bank notes, we could place
the $3.50, 100000 of bonds now bear
Ing interest against the government
in the treasury to be used if neces-
sary to increase our supply Of gold,

gold to $1,237, 600, 600 and, in bonds, tol
$3.50, zoo, 900 against an issue of treas

that this condition would be safe and

tereBt, or even to the continuation oil
the outstanding per cent. bonds.
mo currency system would be com
plete that did not take into consider
ton the importance Of farm credits.
Thorough study ia now being given to
this subject, and I believe in the near
future action will be had by which
rates Of interest charged to farmers
may be reduced and increased facil-
tiles given for farm loans.

what has been taking place during tie
past two years in Washington, wish
to say that IL every day had forty-

He has made splendid impression
on the army OF workers who consti-

man OF most pleasing manner but
no one who looks into his strong,

CLIFF FOWLER WRITES
ON FARMING METHODS

The Editor OF the Journal has re-
quested me to write something on
farming or live stock, or both.
presume he wants me to write only
what | know and not what | think
or have heard some one else say. At
least that is the kind of stuff |
would like TO see in all the papers
and shall try to confine my remarks
as near as can to what know to be
correct, always remembering to say
Il think" when | am in doubt
1t is fact that none of us do as
good farming as we know how to do,
although | will have to leave to some
one else to give the reason. None of
us give our stock as good treatment
as we should. At least | do not and
! have never seen a man in this sec
ton that | thought did. speak
only of conditions here at home and
of all sections. Many who keep live
stock, and especially those who keep
improved breeds, carry out certain
fundamental principals of care and
feeding such as are absolutely nee
.essary to the success of the business,
but they do not bring up the small
details chat many times would rep
resent the only profit with the
same care and precision as is char
acteristic of the stockmen of other
sections.
A pig is considered a filthy ami
nal. but all the pigs in the world
never ate an ounce more dirt than the
boys, unless their master failed to
supply something which their Sys-
tenn required. True, they wallow in
the mud but we must not forget
that they do not perspire as we do
and this is their way of keeping
cool in hot weather, since a coating
of mud will keep them cool for a
long time. For this reason the re-
quirements of the system of any
kind of live stock should be studied
and supplied with those things nee
essary to full and proper develop
ment, which will mean a balance on
the right side of the ledger.
1t takes brains and hard study to
farm or breed live stock successfully
same as it does to run a merchantile
establishment, practice law, or med
icine, or manufacture any kind of a
finished product from the raw ma
terial. ! believe there are merchants
in Marietta who, after trying farm
ing as a side line, will bear me out
in this statement. 1t is as hard TO
plow good furrow as to drive an
automobile. The smoother the road
or field the easier the job and the
cost of operation is reduced accord
inGly in both cases. The auto driver
seems to have grasped this idea
much more quickly than we farmers.
No class of people have done more
to bring about good roads because
by experience they have learned
The Marietta journal and courier. (Marietta, Ga.) 1909-1918, 1913-08-08

what it means to them, yet we don t
seem to realize that the same prin-
cipals apply to our fields. We take
up our time sitting on the porch
abusing the passing automobile
owner instead of cleaning our fields
OF rocks and stumps. A smooth field
admits of the use of improved farm
machinery and gives us the same ad-
vantage over old methods that the
auto possesses over the OK cart. 1t
is foolish to "cuss" the automobile
man. Some of them deserve it, but
the majority will always meet us
half way or more. They will come
about as near hitching their machine
to our wagon and pulling us out of
the mud as we will hitching our
wagon to them when they are stuck.
am told that many of them ride
instead of paying their bills, but
sometimes if we farmers would pay
what we owe they could straighten
themselves with the other fellow
l am glad we have these automo-
bile fellows. Sometimes they drive
me out from town when they see
my only chance is to walk and again
when they want pig they can run
out to my place before the enthus-
iaSm vanishes.
Honest, I have sold them when
if they had been compelled to come
to nay place in a buggy at a four
mile per hour gate they would have
been out of a notion long before they
saw the pigs. ~
When we see the strides made in
other lines of business we ought to
be ashamed 10 tumble the same rocks
around that have been shifted for a
hundred years. We ought to feel
that it is up to us to keep pace with
the times rather than have every
thing forced upon us. We ought to
hail with delight the vestigations
conducted, for our benefit, at the
expense of Uncle Sam. When he
comes in to rid our county of cat
tie tick, which has always kept the
cattle industry of the South at a
standstill, we ought to be ready to
lend a helping hand rather than
to pout and abuse the inspector
without knowing what we are talk
ing about. When Uncle Sam sends
Farm Demonstration to us we can
learn many good things by listening
to him even thought ninety per
cent of what he says may be "Bosh. :"
If we must get ninety per cent of
rubbish to get ten per cent of facts
it is better than not to get the facts
at all.
These Theorists, as we call them,
are necessary to our success. If the
world had to depend upon us farm
ers for progress in agriculture we
would be in mighty bad fix.
AS long as we have to roll these
rocks and stumps from middle to
row and back to the middle again
the next week in order to make a
living we have little time to look
out for the other fellow. l say if
we had been the dependence to in
vestigate, and distribute scientific
agricultural knowledge to the world
we might to day have been blowing
with a crooked stick or pulling up
and reversing our beans because they
come the wrong end up. Still we
don't have to work so hard for saliva
ton on the farm. Others have found
a better way and what othres can
do we can do also.
