FARMING THE REAL LIFE

A prominent paper, published in the
centre of leading Southern agricul-
tural district, has this to say about the
farming life:
Some months ago this newspaper
published from country boy, living in
Atlanta, Ca, "a letter that was a classic
He related that he had been led to the
city by some old historic lures. The
country had seemed monotonous, druid
gerry and seemed constant. Isolation
was very constant and painful He
longed for movies" and brightly light
ed streets and all the paraphernalia of
city life. He moved to town high in
the belief that fortune was just around
the block.
His disilusionment was painful and
almost immediate. People in town had
their own affairs, and were not in the
least concerned about him. His isolation
was worse than in the country, for
there can be no isolation worse than that
of crowd. Monotony was constant,
for all he had to do was to describe a
treadmill from his room to his shop. He
had made little more money, but it
had cost him all that to live. What he
had mistaken for glitter was bogus.
The church socables he had thought
tame, the neighborhood gatherings he
avoided he now would have welcomed.
That is a typical picture. The other
side of it is that there was time when
it paid a man better to live in the coun-
try. Even with cotton at seven cents,
the chance to produce foodstuffs offers
fine living and more. You can work
your head off in the city, work intelli-
gently, and still be Separated from
your job" fer no fault of your own.
You cannot be separated from your
meal ticket in the country, for the sim
reason that it is there the meal ticket
grows.
Other attractions beckon. Good roads
rural phones and rural free delivery
make life easier, safer, abolish mono
tony, kill isolation and place the coun-
try more than ever on par with the CITY,
1t was a wise man who remarked re-
Gently that if the countryman was to
work all the year, and as intelligently
as the city man, he would be independ-
ly rich. Stay on the farm!

$22, 100000 MORE FROM CORN

President Fairfax Harrison, of the
Southern Railroad, commenting upon
the report of the Depai tment of Agri-
culture on the crop conditions as of
September 1, said that Virginia will re-
ceive 1922, 500, 600 more this year for its
crops than it di0 last year.
The outlook for this years corn crop
in Virginia is encouraging, said Mr..
Harrison. The condition of the crop
September was 95 per cent. of normal
as compared with 10 year average of
80 per cent. The department estimates
the total yield at 62,6O0,OOO bushels, as
compared with SO, $50, 600 bushels last
wear with five-year average of 46, ,959,
900 bushels. The improvement of the
crop during the month of August such
as to lead the department to increase
its estimate of the total yield in the
State $500, 900 bushels over the esti-
mate based on the condition of August
1. At 81 cents bushel, the price indi-
Gated by the department for corn in
Virginia on September l, the increase
of 23, ,22O, 600 bushels over last year s
crop will be worth $22, 500, 600 to the
farmers of Virginia.

TO WATCH AUT0ISTS

In retaliation against the recent num- |
erous arrests in Wilmington of drivers
of automobiles registered in other states
who, operating cars in Delaware, fail
to comply fully with the automobile
laws of the state, campaign of re-
prisal against Delaware automoblists
operating automobiles in Pennsylvania
has been started by the Philadelphia
Automobile Trade Association, accord
ing to information received by Whining
ton automobile dealers from members
of the association.
According to the information received
in Wilmington, owners of the Pennsyl-
vania automobile trucks whose drivers
were arrested and fined here for failing
TO comply with the law requiring for
eign-owned automobile, owned by cor
poration, partnership, or company, to
display Delaware license tag made
complaint to the Philadelphia associa-
ton. The association has decided, ac
cording to the information, to cause the
arrest OIL drivers Ol dulOillOOhS IiuShS
owned in Delaware which do not display
Pennsylvania license tag.
Constables have been stationed along
the roads leading from Philadelphia to
Wilmington to watch for offenders
against the Pennsylvania automobile
laws, according to the report received
here. 1t is also reported that the con-
stables will hold up and question drivers
of pleasure cars, and that any auto
mobile drivers failing to comply fully
with the laws will be arrested.
In recent weeks the Wilmington police
have been less rigorous in tie enforce
ment of the provision of the automo-
bile laws requiring a car owned by a
foreign corporation, partnership or
company to display Delaware license
tag than formerly. Recently the police
have adopted a system of warning often
ders against the law of the provisions
of the law and giving the drivers an
opportunity to secure Delaware license
before placing them under arrest

Such was the faor manager, and he
was efficient. There was an uproarious
time. A nice looking old gentleman
named Davis has been selected as
Chairman, and the plan was the one
then in vogue. 1t was simple enough
perfect the organization, appoint the
committee on credentials, throw out
enough opposition delegates, replacing
them with corresponding number
of Biggs delegates. and the nomination
is yours. That was the program and it
was carried through. But not without
a large-sized row. The Chairman got
cold feet four or five times. Business
was stopped, he was hauled behind the
scenes, and "cussed" into shape to do
the work laid out for HIM. From where
the reporters sat they could see and
hear the who'd performance Mr.. Davis
did not seem very happy selection for
the job of Chairman, and we are sure
that Mr.. Davis was by no means happy
while he was trying to be Chairman.
Well, the Cochran people were good
sports. They had been beaten by the
same methods that they would have
used, had they got the chance, so they
supported Biggs and he was elected. 1t
was just such fights as these that broke
the Democratic party and turned the
state over to the Republicans.

his home last week was an ardent
Cochran man. There We're lots of others

not do it.
