BACK TO THE FARM"
MOVEMENT PRAISED
Senator Fletcher Of Florida Urges
that Rural Life Be Made More
Attractive.

In response to a request for an ex-
movement. Senator Duncan u. Fletcher,
OF Florida. chairman Of the American
Commission on Agricultural Co-opera-
ton, and president of the Southern Com
mercial Congress. in the following letter
makes plain the disadvantages under
which the American farmer now labors.
and points out remedies for these condi-
tons.
A suggestion concerning farm cooper
alton in the organization of county
Chambers of Agriculture is made by
Senator Fletcher. which farmers and edi-
tors interested in improving the rural life
of America will find worthy Of taking up
as an active propaganda in every local
ity.
Senator Fletcher wrote:
To induce people to remain on or re-
turn to the farm we must improve the
conditions of rural life. To attract people
to the farm We must make the farm
more interesting. more remunerative,
more free from excessive hard work and
Grugery for male and female.
The chief factor contributing to the
creation and, in some instances and por-
tions Of the country, restoration, OF ideal
rural conditions, would be: First. improv-
ing the intellectual and social life; sec
ond, diminishing the burdens and hard
ships and inconvenience: third, increas-
ing the returns from the labor expended
and the capital invested"

~~OON~S

While western sheepmen are worry
ing about what tariff revision will do
to them the industry
Sheep in the seems so profitable to
Blue Ridge. others, in spite of its
troubles, that efforts
are being made to revive sheep rails
ing in the southern Blue Ridge which
is held to be exceptionally well ad-
apted to the business.
In a recent issue the Atlanta Con-
stitution said editorially:
Increase in the nationwide de-
mand for mutton as a substitute for
beef and pork opens up tremendous
opportunity for the southern Blue
Ridge, adapted by nature to produce
sheep sufficient to feed, perhaps, the
whole country. Two or three years
ago the market for mutton began to
appreciate as beef and pork went
higher and higher. The tendency will
inevitably be enhanced as a result Of
federal inspection last year which de-
mOnstrated that in all the millions Of
sheep and lambs brought during that
period to market there was found not
! one case of tuberculosis The many
people who, whether justly or other
wise, fear this disease in cattle will
find an additional reason to use NUT
ton on their tables Another cause
for the increasing popularity of NUT
ton Is found In the high food value
now placed upon 1t by science as we'll
as in its palatability when properly
prepared,
mo section is more fitted to profit
| by these combined conditions than is
the southern Blue Ridge. From Geor-
gia on up through Virginia the noun
famous territory has every qualifica-
tion for sheep raising on a gigantic
scale The climate is ideal. Ranging
ground is abundant. The soil AMI
climate together are as if designed by
| providence for the production of those
crops upon which sheep thrive.
IAN additional argument for the re-
vival Of the sheep industry in this re-
gion is that prices for beef and pork
are infallibly destined to go higher
and not lower with time. The vast
ranches of the west, where it once was
profitable to raise and Craze huge
herds and which formerly furnished
Ilcw-priced beef, are becoming things
of the past. Year by year the pro-
! duction Of beef cattle falls farther
short Of reaching demand. Under
these circumstances it is inevitable
that prices despite tariff revision, can
be hardly more than temporarily
halted in their upward trend.
'The development of the sheep in
dustry offers itself as a natural and
at least a partial solution of this
problem Of the masses. Much lower
in price than beef, as nourishing and
freer from disease, the nation will
turn to It more and more in the fu-
ture. Herein lies the chance of the

At the very time that little band OF
progressive republicans led by Cum
Minis was gathered in
The Political Chicago to take first
Outlook. steps towards rejuve-
mating the republican
party Roosevelt in New York was up
holding the direct primary and de-
nouncing fusion between the progress
sives and republicans while Taft from
his professorship at Yale was assailing
the recall and declaring the form of
government advocated by the pro-
gressives to be hair trigger and
leading to anarchy and a despotism
by the majority"
These utterances make it plain that
the harmony program does not have
the sanction Of Taft or Roosevelt.
Neither man desires any further af-
filiation with the other or with the
other mans crowd. The extent to
which such feelings will be shared by
the rank and file Of the republican
and progressive parties is something
that is not yet clear. Do they want
the two branches to unite and can a
reconciliation be perfected? If not
which branch is going to predominate {?
1t is something about which people
may speculate but no one really
knows the answer The elements are
still in the melting pot and how the
cast will be when the pouring time
comes we will have to wait and dis
cover. Much will depend on the
course taken by the party now in
power If the democrats act too con-
servatively and lay themselves open

hand If the administration should i'm
press the country as being ultra radi-

the democratic party of course lies in
the ability Of the Wilson administra-
tion to guide with an even hand and

thus avoid the charge of ultra con-

other such radicalism as would pro-
duce business disaster.
