PUT UP TO LAST
Workmen of a Past Generation Did
Their Work in a Manner to
Endure.

The Wayside inn. at salisbury, of
which Longfellow sung, was built in
1886. Repairs were made during the
present year in which some of the
original ClapbOards were removed. The
wrought-irOn nails holding those
boards in place were found in almost
perfect condition, though they had
been in an exposed position for 22S
years.
The nails were perfect because they
were pure iron. Careful analysis
could detect only the faintest traces
of carbon, manganese. copper or sui
phur. Ii seems established that pure
iron will not rust. The celebrated
iron pillar of Delhi that stood exposed
to the weather for 900 years and
seems good for 900 more. 1t is even
more free from foreign substances
than the iron nails of the Wayside
in, which accounts for its superior
durability.
The problem of modern manufac-
turers is to produce pure iron by ma
chine processes, and do it econom-
ically. A few claim to have gained
this desired goal, but the world in
general has its doubts. Work went
slowly in the old days, but sometimes
it went with a sureness which pres
ent-day industry has yet to achieve.

Near Jelfa, Algeria, is to be seen a
mountain of rock salt, 800 feet in
height and nearly a mile in diameter.
Two other hills of this character are
known in Algeria, both being near
Biskra, and in all cases the salt is
surrounded by triassic marls and
clays. A curious feature of the Jelfa
hill is the fact that in spite Of the
very soluble character of the material
composing it it stands up in high re-
lief from the surrounding clay and
contains no valleys or other sign of
erosion. 1t does, however, contain a
number of sink holes, as in lime
stone country. When the brief tor
rental rains of winter occur the water
sinks almost at once into these cavi-
ties and soaks through the permeable
salt. emerging at the margin Of the
hill in salt springs.

WAR STOPS SALE OF COTTON
Lesson Taught Southern Farmer
Should Induce Him to Raise More
Grain and Live Stock.

The condition of the southern farmer
who raises little else but cotton is an
example Of what may be expected by
the farmer of any locality who puts
all his eggs in one basket" by raising
all corn, wheat, cattle, hogs or any
other crop.
The war has practically stopped the
sale of cotton. A large per cent Of the
southern farmers are cotton growers
almost exclusively. Although they
raised a good crop, their market is
practically closed. The result is a
serious condition in that section Of the
country. Had these farmers diversi-
fed their efforts by growing some corn
and wheat and hogs their financial con-
dition would be far different.
In a former article in this paper we
urged farmers to follow the line on
which they are working. that of raising
general farm crops and live stock, and
not to be led astray by taking the ad-
vice of the fellow who says there are
millions in raising wheat, or any other
one grain, next year or the next.
We sympathize with the southern
farmer on account of unforeseen con-
ditions, but hope the lesson learned
this year will induce him to be a gen
eral grain and live stock man. When
the southern farmer does more gen.
orally follow these lines his financial
condition will be materially bettered.

Chapter Of Syrian Life.

In Syria a chaperon is the law Of
social intercourse between the young
folks. At the wedding ceremony the
bride appears in the center OF bril-
liantly illuminated room. On all sides
are attendants carrying large candles
richly painted and decorated. AS she
takes her chair, what money she pos
sesses Of gold and silver is placed on
her head.
The gift of the bridegroom is 40
dresses, and, as the wedding celebra-
tions last two weeks. the bride has a
chance to display her gowns, making
numerous changes daily for the de,
lightful edification OF her friends.
AS a rule, these dresses last life
time, and are usually handed down
from one generation to another, and,
unless destroyed otherwise than by
wear, they are everlasting.

HOW FARMERS CAN ORGANIZE
Progress Must Develop From Within
Rather Than From Without
Local Leadership IL Best.

The United States department Of
agriculture is continually receiving in
quiries from all sections asking how
farmers ought to organize. The an.
swer to such a general question must
necessarily be that 1t depends partly
upon the particular needs Of given
community and partly upon the ca
pacity which farmers have to establish
and manage the work Of a suitable or
ganization. There should be a strong
local feeling of the need of some i'm
provement and that certain definite
aims or purposes can be more fully
realized with the aid Of organized in
terest and activity than through indi-
vidual effort alone. 1t Is folly to ex-
pect that mere organization, as such,
will achieve a given object, unless the
farmers organize in the right way and
equip their organization so that 1t will
carry on its work efficiently. Having
decided that an associated effort Is
warranted by the needs Of the COM
munity, study should be made Of the
kind of organization that would be
most helpful and the ways and means
Of making its work effective. While
this calls for intelligent. enthusiastic
and self-sacrificing leadership, it is
best that this be furnished locally. Or
ganizations may need outside advice,
but they should not be promoted by
outsiders. The farmers advance must
come as the result of his own efforts;
his progress must develop from within
rather than from without. The organ.
ization that is given him is of far less
value to him than the one which he
himself creates. In the matter of Sc
curing advice 1t is generally wise to
make application to the agricultural
college or the proper government Of.
fetal In asking for this advice a full
statement of the local situation should
be given-the territory to be included.
number of farmers interested, class
and amount Of work to be undertaken,
previous cooperative experience, and
any other local failures that will give
a definite idea Of the problems that
must be met in outlining plan of or
ganization for the betterment of the
community.

HELP THE COTTON PLANTERS
Plan Contemplating Raising Of Fund
Of $135, o0o, 900 Seems to Be Most
Practical One Offered.

As our readers all know, the South
this year produced almost maximum
crop of cotton, for which, had the nor
NAL price been maintained, they would
have received many hundreds Of mil
lions of dollars. Unfortunately, the
European war has shut off the demand
for cotton for manufacture abroad, and
instead Of receiving the price which
prevailed last year, the planters are
offered now not much more than half
that price. An effort has been made
to secure the help Of the government
in financing the cotton growers, and
many plans have been suggested. The
one which is likely to be adopted has
been made public by the federal re-
serve board, which has control of the
new reserve banks. This plan con-
templates raising fund Of about $685.
900, 900, to be known as the cotton loan
fund. This fund will be raised from
the banks of the entire country, and
will be administered under the direc-
ton of a committee, and to be COM
posed of individual members of the
federal reserve force. This central
committee will appoint committees In
each of the cotton producing states,
says Wallace's Farmer. Loans made
from this fund shall bear interest at
the rate of six per cent per annum,
and all applications for loans must be
through banks or bankers, and must
be approved by the proper local COM
mittee, by the state committee, and by
two members of the cotton loan COM
mittee. These loans shall be secured
by cotton on the basis of six cents a
pound, and approved warehouse re-
ceipts must be attached to the appli-
cation.
While this plan has not at the pres.
emit writing been finally adopted. the
indications are that 1t will be. and 1t
seems to offer a practical way of help
ing the cotton growers through their
financial trouble.
