Better Farming Campaign

Last Friday the better farm
ing campaign was opened in
Chickasaw County, and for two
days we heard the gospel of
good farming, proclaimed from
every town and school house in
the county. The keynote was,
make everything to support man
and beast at home and make
cotton your surplus crop. We
had heard this doctrine advocat-
ed for years by speakers who
only gave us the theory with no
practical demonstration to back
it up; but these people came
with facts, figures, and charts,
marked out from reliable Stats
tics that showed US how little we
had done contrasted with what
we could do.
They proved the South was a
slumbering giant in resources
with a population that had never
realized what could be done with
our fine soil, short winters, and
freedom from protracted
drauths. Diversity was the
big word that covered the whole
situation. The South, forced by |
the short crop of last year, gave
it a small trial this year, and
now we have corn to sell, meat |
to last IL months, sweet potatoes
to throw at the birds, and sorg-
hum enough to sweeten the
whole country; and we face the
the incoming boil weevil with

HARVARD PROFESSOR

Offers Students Opportunity for Prac

writing.

The university as birthplace for the
drama surely never entered into the
calculations of the American educators
Of fifty years ago: no years ago any pro-
fessor who might even have suggested
such a thing would very likely have
found himself a pariah upon the West
ern continent. Yet today both Harvard
and Yale have working courses on the
drama. and students are hocking to these
courses from all portions of the coun-
try No longer do the great American
universities look upon the theater esther
as one of the prizes the devil offers to
our Young Fausts. or as A place where
callow undergra duates are permitted TO
enjoy themselves after a victory at foot
hall. On the contrary. our professors
of English are nov teaching that Shake
speare wrote for the theater and not for
the commentators. and that Euripides
never had the slightest idea that his
plays would be largely relegated to the
shelves Of academic libraries.
1t is to Prof George Pierce Baker. Of
Harvard. that this change in university
sentiment is largely due. When Prof.
Baker first Instituted his course in prac-
teal playwriting the wireacres shook
their heads-his courses on drama tic his
