81 s0UTH.WIDE PROBLEM

"A SOUTH-WIDE PR0BLEM.'
That is the way the Atlanta Journal
heads an editorial upon the subject OF
raising cattle and hogs in the South,
Says the Journal:
'It is noteworthy that when rews-
papers or individuals begin talking
of the South's agricultural needs. they
drift almost invariably to the subject
OF live stock. There is a broad cog
nizance of the fact that this mater
touches all our ecoromic interests,
those of commerce and industry and OF
the household ne less than Of the
farm and that i: beers directly upon
many problems, such for instance as
the high cost of living, which con-
cern the people as a whole. In most
Southern States, indeed, there is a
definite movement to encourage cat
lie raising, along with the production
of other food supplies This idea is
emphasized not only by agricultural
colleges but also by boards of trade
and farmers organizations; and the
hearty support it is receiving from
representative newspapers indicates
the place it has won in public
thought
The Journal continues:
Interestingly enough, however,
there has been a marked increase in
the South's number of swine In Geor-
gia there were 1855, 900 swine in jan
uary, 1913, and 1,945,OOO in January
OF the present year, a gain of $1,000.
For the South as a whole swine in
creased by 214,O00 during the year.
This advance is traceable directly to
organized efforts on the part of agri-
cultural agencies and business lead
ers.
:'The system of the Boys Corn clubs
has been extended to hog raising,
while the increase in the yield itself
has opened the way for animal hus-
bandry. Indeed, the home production
OF corn and hay is one Of the great es-
sentials to the profitable production OF
live stock. The work of the corn clubs
is naturally followed by that of pig
clubs, and the fact that the boy farm
ers are organizing for this purpose has
much to do with the South's increas-
ed production of swine. Eventually,
the progress in this one branch of
live stock enterprise will communicate
itself to all related fields, and cattle
raising will receive due attention"
The need of the South along this
line, particularly as applied to this
section of the South, is a doctrine
which The Herald and News has been
preaching for many ears, and the edi-
tor of The Herald and News, as coun-
ty superintendent of education, worked
increasingly in the interest of the boys
clubs. AS The Herald and News has
pointed out time and time again, and
as is becoming generally recognized,
when the farmers Of the South take
advantage of the opportunities which
are knocking at their doors, they are
going to be the most independent peo-
pie in the world. And it is encourag-
ing to note that the farmers of the
South are now beginning to take ad-
vantage of these opportunities.

Senator Kenyon today introduced a
comprehensive bill for the enlargement
and reorganization Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. The measure
promises to attract much notice at this
time. when the commission Is overbur-
dened with work.
The Kenyon bill would enlarge the
commission from seven to sixteen men,
bers. 1t proposes to divide the country
into five districts. with Washington. At
lanta, Chicago. Kansas City and San
Francisco as the district cen,ers. Three
commissioners would be assigned to
each district, and hearings and investi-
cations would be conducted by them, in
stead Of by subordinates. as Is the pres
ent custom, which. Senator Kenyon
thinfls, has caused much complaint.
The need for more speedy action and
the bringing Of the commission closer to
the scene Of operations are the chief
purposes Of the bill" said Senator Ken

Is now overburdened. and cannot do all
the work imposed on it.
In an important case such as the ad-
