JARED AND MARTIN


Old Jared Bliss sat out in the back
yard OF the place he called home. the
tears streaming down his wrinkled
face.
Its killing me-" he sobbed desc
lately. Il don't care for myself. but
little Martin-oh. how can those peo-
pie who have wrested from me all I
had In the world treat the poor child
as they do?"
Tenderly the old man passed his
hand over a small tin pail that hung
suspended from q triangular conJunc.
tion OF three iron rods, forming a tri-
pod. Beneath there were the ashes OF
a fire. Jared had rugged up the con-
trivance so that his little favorite
might play camping out" Mrs. Henry
Porter had soon put an angry ter.
mination ito that nonsense"
Little Martin had been chided by
his stepmother for wasting his time
while he should have been CARRYING
In fuel from the woodpile. Then she
had ordered him up TO his room under
the roof rafters. She had locked him
In, and there accompanied the act
by the threat that he would have a diet
of bread and water until he learned
to obey orders.
No orders. In fact. had little Martin
disobeyed. II was the nagging dis
position OF Mrs. Porter TO find fault
with everything when she was out of
humor. Just now she had been par
ticulariy crossed by her husband. He
was usually meek and afraid of her
brawling. unwomanly ways. but a
chance had come up to 60 with some
fellow lodge members on a junket to
another town. This time. instead of
asking her permission to go. which
would have been refused. he waited
till they were comfortably aboard of
the train and sent n verbal message
as to his action.
Always Mrs. Porter cowed down her
husband. always she took a high hand
in scolding and sometimes furnishing
little Martin. Henry Porter had at
least q vestige left OF fatherly feeling
for the little fellow. but gradually he

3. Longer leases and a better
tenant system.
The census of 1910 shows a L.
mentable lack OF livestock i'm the
South. Let US compare Illinois,
Iowa and Indiana with some of the
Southern states. The number If
work horses per farm in Iowa is g.;
Illinois, 5.5; Indiana, slightly over
s.5. in South Carolina, /; in Vir-
ginia, little less than 2; in Ala
bama, l.5. OF milch cows Iowa
averages 6.5; Illinois, AZ; Indiana,
80; North Carolina, I.2; South
Carolina, 1; Alabama, I.5. In
number OF hogs per farm Iowa
shows 3i.s; Illinois, 1915; Indians,
1913; North Carolina, as; South
Carolina, s.s; AIablma, 4.s. Num-
Der Of poultry per farm Iowa shows
1852; Illinois, s5; Indiana. 6s.s.
Whereas North Carolina shows
1919; South Carolina. 1877; Ala
bama, 1911.
In the South we produce more in
value per improved acre i'm crops
than the ortherh States, but q g
value of our farms is far less and
our farmers less prosperous. The
secret of the difference is to lie
found very largely in diversification
and livestock.
Another difficulty is that our
Southern farmers do not farm on a
cash basis, but are constantly farm
ing to pay debts. We have thought
SO long in terms of cotton that, with
the market constantly fuctuating,
the farmer plants on the faith that
next year at picking time the price
of cotton will be high and that he
will reap his reward. If he could
change his farm system so as to
have cotton as one of the elements
of his success, the state of the cot
ton market would not so seriously
affect hIs well being. IL one farm
er is sowing two-thirds of his acre
age in cotton and the balance in
corn and ether forage crops. while
his neighbor has only one-fifth of
his acreage in cotton, with a three
or four year rotation, producing
corn, oats. peas, hay and other for
age crops, with a good home garden
and uienty os-live-scek. il would be
easy to figure which farmer would
survive either failure of the cotton
crop or low price for cotton.
The present crisis In Europe and
the decentralization of the cotton
market is the best opportunity the
South hiss ever seen for changing its
system. Cooperation between the
business interests, bankers, merch-
ants and farmers to get into diversi-
fed agriculture and to re-establish
credit upon different basis will be
the only means Of Bringing the de-
sired results.
In 1915 we must cut the cotton
crop to at least Fifty per cent. of the
1914 crop. This is imperative. II
is our only hope of safety. In do
ing that we should plan to take up
diversification and livestock AZ a
permanent part of our farming and
not as a mere makeshift. The De-
partment earnestly urges all farmers
to think of this. Let Is do it now |.
If we do it only for the one year we
shall be at the mtrcv of the next
crisis. Let us be independent! The
United States Department Of Agri-
culture, most Of the State Colleges
and other forces, the agricultural
press and the Farmers Union have
been advocating diversifications for
years. Now is the time to put this
great principle into effect.
Very truly yours,
BRADFORD KSAPP,
Special Agent in Charge.

We cannot all start life with the

born is entitled TO the heritage OF
good health. Through unfortunate
ignorance or carelessness in the feed
ing OF a baby its tiny stoamch may
become deranged. This disorder
spreads to the bowels and before the
mother realizes itithe two chief or
gans on which the infants comfort
and health depend are causing it
great suffering. II the condition is
allowed to continue grave ailments
often result. a4
There is, however, no occasion for
alarm, and the sensible thing to do
but 1t should be done instantly-is
to give the baby small dose of a
mild laxative-tonic: In the opinion
of great many people, among them
such well-known persons as the par
,ents OF Bertha Lee Woodland, 8 years
old, of Moultrie, Ca, the proper rem
edy is DR.. Caidwell's Syrup Pepsin.
