Supplement to St, NJ .-

The government at ellington
has dealt mortal blow to sugar.
We are banded together now in a
common ause:-give sugar a re-
s"' c'ful hearing and square deal.
""ighbor cotton, buy barrel; we
E"ve bought bale. Let the Pro-
r""esivcs fight for sugar if they
wapt To. for when they win, their
doctrine of social justice and a
square deal, will. at least, not
hurt cotton. AS for the politicians,
they must fight for their 10 BIS;
they can't help that; it is the call
of the blood with them. But the
press can afford to be fair, if it SO
desires. Everybody ought to be
fair enough to admit that the sugar
scction cannot be DESTROYED at
Washington, and at the same
time made to prosper on "expert"
articles in newspapers.

An official of the Federal Census
Bureau, in discussing the report
recently issued by the govern ment
dealing with the term of oc.,up ancy
OF farms in the United States,
said:
"This frequency of moving from
farm to farm. or instability of oc-
cupancy, very likely forms O ne of
the chief causes for the decline of
rural prosperity, or is hindr. ance
to greater progress. Frequency
OF removal of farmers results in
general shiftlessness; the 70 ads
and bridges are generally il,
poor condition because the farl n
ers, moving at frequent period 8,
are not particularly interested in
their upkeeper. Farm buildings
of such farms are not usually kept ,
in good repair, as the farmer who
is about to move will leave the |
repairs for ting next tenant to make. |
The same reasons will apply for
lack of interest by the punishable"
farmer in the schools, churches
and general welfare of the COM /
munity. They move frequently: I
they do not remain on a farm long
to get the best results from
it, consequently they are usually
In poor financial condition."

Louisiana; the lands in these pa.
rishes have sugar improvements
on them which aggregate in the
neighborhood of one hundred
million dollars. One fourth of
these improvements can be used
by 400 acre farmers" (when they
get here); three fourths of these
improvements can be consigned
TO the junk pile, and the news
