we were four years ago, according
to a report of the department OF
commerce. In 1909 our per capita
consumption is stated to have been
eleven pounds, while in 1912 it was
only 8.9 pounds. As a possible rea-
son it is added that the average i'm
port price in 1909 was rs cents,
while last year it was 1873 cents.

technical inform ation that Con. gress must have. With such 6 commission there would be no excuse for a lobby. Without it a lobby IS not only excusable but inevitable. A great quanti- ty of expert technical knowled- ge is necessary for the fra ming of any tariff bill that recognizes the protective principle, as the Underwood Bill frankly does.
 When the Government has no independent commission to ac- quire this knowledge interested manufacturers will volunteer It. So long as there is protective tar if legislation without tariff commission there will be a tar if lobby.

SHARE-CROPPING MEANS
 POOR FARMING.

There is no doubt that our short tunure rental system and share-cropping do not tend to good farming and the maintain ing or increasing of soil fertilly, :, and we are convinced that bet ter farming would be done if
 those who own more land than they can cultivate would culti- vate it by hired labor. That it cannot be cultivated successfully by wage hands bymany of those who now own the land may be true, but some such system is a necessity before much progress will be made is probably equally true,
 Lack of capital and inexperi- ence are probably the greatest real obstacles to the general a. do ption of such method, if we except the general failure of large landowners to give their

THE TARIFF LOBBY

It should not be forgotten by the way, that the Democratic party deliberately invited the
 numerous, powerful and lnsidi- ous" tariff lobby, cf which Pre- sident Wilson complained not long ago. Not even triumphant Democracy can legislate in a va cuum.
 To form an intelligent opinion as tG what duties shouldbe levied on cotton, for example, some thing must known about condi- tlons in the cotton trade; and the only way that information can be obtained is to inquire among persons familiar with the trade Naturally majority of persons most familiar with the trade are interested in having duties as high as possible. They swarm to Washington in order to in- struct uniformed legislators.
 The only possible alternative to a numerous and insidious fob by IS a permanent non partisan tariff commission, which will col lect through it's own experts the

Every druggist in the state has noticed great falling off in the !! sale of calomel, They all give the same reason. Dodson's Liver l one is taking its place. 'Cal omel is often dangerous and people know it while Dodson's Liv- CT Tone is perfectly safe and gives bet ter results,' says L. M. Culpep- per.
 Dodson's Liver Tone is personal ly guaranteed by L. M, Culpeppcr, who sells it. A large bottle c.sts 50 cents, and if 1t fails to give easy relief in every case of sluggishnes5, you have only to ask for your mon- ey back. It will be promptly re- turned.

rersc ral attention .e the .nanag nent of their farms. Anyone familiar with such sections as the Yazoo Delta and the Black Belt of Alabama and Mississippi cannot fail to recognize the fact
 that crop rotation and soil in- provement are practically impos- sible under the present methods and that some plan which will permit of more intelligent and direct control of the land is rap idly becoming d necessity.
 If cotton cannot be made pro- fitably by paying wages for the labor that produces 1t, then in some way the share cropping system now used must give the land owner an unfair advantage
 But this is not the real reason why the cultivation of cotton an corn by wage hands is neither popular nor generally successful The real reason is that it re- quires more intelligent, direct and personal attention. This is also the reason why good farm ing will not be done so long as the share-cr1pping system ex. ists. Still the system will con- tinue until the lands become so poor, or conditions become such, that the low yields produced vii no longer support the cropper and the and owner.-Tait But Ter, in The Progressive Farmer.
