tralia there is serious consideration
policy. This part is in the northern
territory, an immense, undeveloped
region, lying within the tropics, where
it has, up to the present time, been
found impossible to colonize white
men. There are six states constitu-
New South Wales, Victoria, Queens
land, South Australia, Western Aus
tralia and Tasmania. The northern
territory is directly administered by
the federal government, while the
states have even larger self-govern-
ment than the states of the American
union. The white men cannot or, at
least, will not live in the northern
territory, though it has much rich and
fertile land. In an area larger than
that part of the United States lying
east of the Mississippi river, are less
than two thousand whites. The cen
sus statistics show that this popula-
ton has increased just q in 81 years.
The northern territory remains large
ly inaccessible until the construction
of the transcontinental railway, which
is projected. This railway and more
insistent immigration schemes may
change the conditions, a section of
the Australian press and public favor
departing from the white-Australia
policy far enough to permit colored la

STAY ON TIE FARM AND Be YOUR OWN
BOSS

There is one thing We should ike
10 urge very strongly in this issue,
Mr Farmer Boy, and that IS you
s,av on the farm where you can be !
your 0qyn boss instead Of going Oh /
10 the CRY 10 be somebody 6 clerk
or hired man-JhaJ is, unless you
nave some special marked ana def
mite talent for some particular
work.
It's true. of course, that the farm
er does not get now all the profit
he ought to get-Hor all he IS gong
to eet-but it is also true that the
workingman in the country fares
better than the workingman IN the
civ Read all yOn can, study all
you can. and prepare yourself to be
a good farmer-a genuinely VIDE
awake, progressive farmer-and you
will. nine chances out OF ten, fare
better than if you should 60 to town.
As we see it, the farmers day is
coming. The thought Of the world
is turned as never before to building
I'D the country The Government
itself which was once interested IN
protecting manufactures, developing
manufactures, and building up the
towns, is beginning to see that the
source of all prosperity is the farm.
But the one best sign ~ that the
farmers themselves IRE getting
aroused and studying their privileges
and rights. Already the awakening
and organization Of farmers has re-
suited in untold good, and you OUGHT
TO resolve now that there shall be
a farmers organization in your
neiehborhOod as long as you live,
II you are over rs years old, JOIN
the Farmers Union or whatever
other organization is nearest yodi
and take an active part init, Speak
to your father about it
Another thing which insureS bot
ter times for the Southern farmer IS
this. For hundred years until
very recently we have had to
compete with cheap land farmers in
the West That is to say, any farm |
er could 90 out West and stake out
a homestead and sell his crops
without allowance for land values
because his land cost him nothing.
or practically nothing. But all Of
that is past. The cheap lands of
the West is gone, and now when the
Western farmer sells his crops he /.
must add S5 to $40 per acre as an
allowance for rent or for interest on |
land values And because of this
fact crops simply cant be sold as
cheaply as formerly.
Then, too, city populations have
increased faster than country pop
ulatiOns the whole world over, and
and it is becoming more and more
difficult for the city people to get
enough meats and food stuffs. There
are several million more people in
the United States than there were
five years ago while there are sev-
eral million fewer meat animals,
This is an indication tha, farm pro-
ducts must 90 higher, especially
livestock
One Of the greatest of the worlds
students Of rural problems declared
recently that in the future labor on
the farm is goinGto be better paid
than labor IN the towns, and we he.
lievc he is right Stick to the farm
