REVISE TIE TARIFF;
REPEAL WAR TAX
Two Ways of Promoting
Business Int rests and
Welfare OF American
People
Cincinnati Enquirer

There is no doubt 10 the inn
prOvement-the great and wide
spread improvement-of business
in the United States during the
past four months.
This has been brought about
By the labor of our agriculturists,
by favorable climatic conditions
in 1914 and by the immense yields
of food products in that year,
It has been aided greatly
through the advantages of the
facilities provided for business
men by the Federal re,erve bank
ing system.
The people realize now that
they are in control Of the none
tary supplies Of the republic to
an extent heretofore denied
them, and being now endowed
by legislation with such control,
they will never relinquish il.
The improvement has been also
promoted by the meXampled de-
mand of foreign countries for tine
products of our lands, for the
outnut Of our mines, our mills,
our shops, our factories.
These purchases were most
welcome, but they were forced
by the wants and needs of those
foreign countries, not made in
order to produce good times here.
There are two means Of max
ing still better times in the Unit
ed States; two ways ofpromoting
the interests of business men and
also those of the great majority
of our population.
There are two legislative acts
that the administration should
hasten and which the President
should call the Congress together
to pass.
The war tax levy should be re-
pealed at Once.
The revenues of the Govern
msnt should be increased by am
immediate revision of the Tariff.
Justice to the people of the
United States demands that both
be done.

Good Roads And Steel Bridges.

A drive of dozen miles on al
most any public road in Lee county
will serve to show wonderful i'm
provements in the roads and bridges
of the county now as compared with
those Of Is or 20 years ago. The
large number Of steel bridges will
surprise almost any resident of the
county, nc matter how familiar he
may be with the highways.
Much unfavorable criticism of the
management of Lee county's road
work has been made from time to
time, and Justly so. But it should
be borne in mind, that much good
has come of the county, public road
and bridge building, though they
have at times been managed reck-
lessly and in unbusinesslike man
ner. And it is doubtless the part
of wisdom and chanty to look main
ly upon the bright side of these
matters rather than upon the dark.
Instead of condoring those condi-
tions in the past which have been
rOprehensibile. we would condemn
them in the most empathic manner.
No loyal citizen will defend graft
and fraud.
But there is room for praise, when
one turns aside from the unwise ex-
penditure of public moneys, which
has at times characterized tile adj
ministration of nearly every board
of county commissioners. In prai-
sing the good work that has been
done, we would by our mere praise
Of good methods give, the strongest

Answering The Question.

MANY farmers haze complained
this winter Of being unable to ans
wer with any degree Of Satisfaction
the question, What are YOU going
to plant, when cotton is at SO low a
price?''
But the answer that has been
given to this question by most Of
them seems to be wise. A glance
at the wide fields Of oats and other
winter cover crops that are seen on
every hand this winter is 40 indica-
ton that the farmers have planted
better than some Of them perhaps
knew.
They have answered the question
in a practical way by planting grain
and food crops. These crops are
about the first harvest that can be
reaped by farmers in this part OF
the state. When the oat crop is
harvested in Lee county in May, it
will perhaps be the largest ever
grown here. 1t will do any wor-
shipper Of old King Cotton good to
look at the barns Of Lee county far
mers after the cat crop harvest is
over, for he viii surely be the wiser
for having seen what can be done
in the way eff a practical diversified
ton Of crops.
Il may be troublesome to learn
all at once what to plant instead OF
cotton, but it will do every farmer
good to think about the matter. The
main trouble in the past has been
that farmers would not think They
would not see. They CROPPED blind
| ly on from year TO year ana pianted
nothing but cotton. So it is good
! for them to be awakened, though
the awakening may have been a very
rude one.
No one can keen from making
mistakes. But the wise man is he
who does not continue to persist in
his error when it has once been
clearly pointed out to him. So il
lis that you shall know the wise far
ner. He is planting grain and
other food crops this winter Verify
his reward should be-and will
doubtless be-great.

Planting Grain Instead Cotton.

Lee county farmers are, this
week, getting acquainted with Their
fields in preparation for the hog and
hominy campaign. which they in
tend waging this good year. Prac-
tically all preparations for the crops
Of 1915 have been completed in this
county and the farmers will start
next week on the business OF plant
ing. The corn acreage all over the
county will be very large and the
fact that there has never been as
slow a movement Of fertilizer points
to a very large cut in the cotton
acreage. Reports show that there
has been few sales at all offertilizer
so far, and while some Of the far
mers are using the home made var
iety, when it comes to planting cot
ton the commercial brand is in de-
mand. In some sect ons Of the
country, it is stated that the water
melon acreage will again be large
one, and around Leesburg as well,
much land is being prepared for this
crop.

Lee county's new farm demon
stration agent has gone towork with
vim and energy. Though he has
been here only about two weeks, i
is already evident that he is live,
aggressive young farm expert and
that his aid to the farmers Of Lee
county will be correspondingly
great.
Mr.. Rountree has found the way
well blazed for him. Through the
faithful, conscientious work Of Mr..
r.. A. Kent, who was Lee county's
farm demonstrator agent last year,
the minds Of the farmer; OF Lee
county nave been well prepared for
the reception Of helpful farm dem
onstration work. Much credit for
present conditions is due Mr.. Kent.
It is especially gratifying, how
ever, that so capable young man
as Mr.. Rountree has been secured
to continue the work that has been
so we'll begun by Mr.. Kent. The
minds Of the farmers are perhaps
more receptive generally this year
than last, which is in itself an ex-
cellent condition for success. Fur
thermore, Farm Demonstration
Agent Rountree is able, through the
public spirit Of the people OF Lee
county, to devote his entire time to
the work. That is the only way in
which this work can be done prop
erly.
At the end Of this year the farm
ers of the county will be a5le to see
more definitely the good results
that come from farm demonstra-
ton work. A good years work {,
with an active, intelligent, well-in-
formed agent like Mr.. Rountree, in
charge, will afford a good basis for
judging the work accurately. There
is no doubt that the outcome viii
abundantly justify the faith and
earnest efforts Of the farmers of the
county.
These results will be shown to the
very best advantage next fall when
the second Lee county fair is held
here. Mr.. j. G. Pruett, who made
such a success of the first Lee county
fair and who is at the head of the
Lee County Fair Association, is us
| ing his best efforts to make the fair
here next fall one which will typify
the best efforts Of the people of Lee
county. Every farmer in the coun-
ty is urged to begin now by using
the aid of Farm Demonstration
Agent Rountree toward making the
very best possible exhibits Of Lee
