Statistics for the National Field.

(By l.. M. Rhodes, President Tennes.
see Farmers Union.)
If this earth continues to swing
through space bearing it's teeming
millions from the cradle to the grave,
the farmer must fill the larder and
replenish the wardrobe. Iron mon
sters on ribbons Of steel, and painting
giants OF the sea must rush to the
hungry multitudes, laden with 6OO,-
100000 tons of foodstuffs from the
farmers fields. To keep humanity
clad the farmers must furnish the
raw material for not less than 6O0,-
00O 100000 garments
But we will leave the farmers Of
the whole world, and point out ONE
facts concerning the farmers Of the
United States for the last so years.
In 1860 the wealth of the Whole
United States was $16,OO0,O0O 600.
$4,000, 100000 worth of this belongs
to the farmers, they shared equally
with the rest Of the population. Now
our wealth is estimated at S131, ,OOO,-
100000 in Vaue. $4,000, 900, 900 Of
this is farm property. But 40 per
cent Of the farmers in the whole
United States are renters or tenants
and not more than $26, ,0O0, 900, 900 of
our farm property belongs to the
farmers. The other $4,000, 900, 900 is
owned by land companies, corpora
tions. men of other vocations who do
not till the soil, and not more than 20
per cent of our wealth belong to real
farmers In SO years. then, we have
changed our proportional holdings
from so per cent to 20 per cent of our
national wealth. Has this come about
by the farmers lack Of Industry?
Certainly not, for in the last 81 years
they have produced 5000, ,00O, 900
worth Of products. This would buy
all wealth in the United States and
leave $4,000, 100000 Yet the farmer
Is a failure i'm business, for he an
nually markets $4,000, 100000 worth
of products, and his annual indebt .
ness is $1,000, 100000. 1t is esti-
mated that one-half of this, or So
900, ,000,O00, is secured by mortgage.
Thus he is laboring under mort
gagged Indebtedness of $4,000. coo, ,OOo,
a sum equal to half he sells.
The gross income of our 6,000,00
! farms is only 100000 900, after

son, IL there is to be tobacco crop
In Sumter county next spring, and it is
more important now to arouse inter-
est In tobacco plant beds and tobacco
barns than i'm the warehouse. The
building of the warehouse is merely
a matter of so many dollars and a
force OF carpenters, but the creation
of a tobacco market is a matter of
more difficulty and involves a greater
number of factors. Now is the time
for an intelligent and vigorous cam
paign to interest large number of
farmers in tobacco growing.

published in the first issue of the
National Field, the official organ Of
the Farmers Union of the United
States. ! want to call special atten-

this article. You are told that you
cannot organize the farmer, and fail
ures Of the past are pointed out to
prove the assertion" He then shows
how many failures there have been in
other lines of business, but no one
suggests that therefore these other
businesses must be abandoned.

Supervisor OF High Schools Hand
asserts In his annual report that there
are too many women teachers in The
high schools and emphasizes the ne
cessity Of having men as teachers for
boys OF high school age. He attributes
the scarcity OF male teachers to the
low scale OF wages paid teachers in
South Carolina and TO the further
fact that women are willing to do this
work for one-half the salary demand
ed by men similarly qualified by edu-
cation and training for high school
work. The remedy he suggests Is 10
obvious that IL should be Immediately
adopted. He proposes that the sala
ries for school work be increased so
as to afford living wage and that
no distinction be made between men
and women. He justly argues that IA
woman who Is competent to do school
work q man would be employed to do,
were a man obtainable should be paid
the same salary q man would receive.
Tho adoption OF this policy would ben
eft the thoroughly capable women
teachers and schools. since the women
would be paid what they are worth
and more men would take up teach
ing as a profession. thus filling the
need for men teachers in boys high
schools.
