Ruben Dario, Pan-American
BY DR.. FRANK CRANE.
uBEN DARIO is dead.

~ UBEN DARIO is dead.
* He was the most distinguished and by
far the most influential poet of the Latin
Americans.
Nicaragua has declared his passing to be a ma
tional loss and has decreed national mourning But
he was not mere local figure. The widening cir
cles of his radatng genius reached all the Spanish
speaking peoples, the United States also, Pan
America and the whole world.

sister republics whose head was we'll above the

then premonition of his taking off, His health was
manifestly impaired But we hoped that he might
live to write the book about the United States
which he had in mind and of which he spoke so in
spiringly
At this time when the spirit of Pan-America is
the most reassuring element in distracted world,
mangled by blind patriotisms imporent to rise to
the heights of humanity, Ruben Dario's word
would be one of the most significant forces to
change the feeling which so many Latin Americans
have toward the United States.
His influence in Central and South America can
hardly be exaggerated. The poet, among the neo-
Latins, has always occupied position OF authority
that the Saxon peoples hardly understand. with
them the singer is leader. We know the tremen-

Markets for Food Crops.

While it is commonly agreed that Georgia's
economic wellbeing now depends on a diversified
sas opposed to a One-crop system of agriculture
lit is equally apparent that farmers will not ad-
here to this policy unless they are assured of ade-
quate markets for their food products The farmer
who raises hundred hogs and is unable to cell
those for which his own household has no need
or who raises hundred bushels of potatoes and
has to let the bulk OF them rot in his cellar will
be sorely tempted the next season to abandon hog
raising and limit his planting to cotton Yet
while his meat and potatoes going to waste
Georgia merchants are importing vast Quantities
of these staples from distant regions and Georgia
consumers spending millions of dollars abroad
for the very commodities OF which their own
State can yield abundance. Evidently then the
problem of marketing Georgia food crops is not a
question of home demand, because that is incou-
parably greater than the home supply II is a
question of establishing convenient and depepd-
able relations between those who wish to sell and
those who wish to buy such products
How can those relations best be established:
That matter which calls for a great deal of
careful inquiry and thinking and experiment; but
certain broad lines of promising procedure are OBJ
viOus at the outset. BY way OF example, let us
note some OF the primary steps which already have
been taken toward that end. Some time ago the
Southern Bell Telephone Company decided that It
would be good business. from the Company's stand
point. to encourage hog raising and diversified
farming generally in the territory served by its
farmers lines II realized that to do this il must
prepare a way whereby these farmers could sell
their hogs Selecting a group of South Georgia
counties for experiment the telephone promoters
first -ascertained. through exchange headquarters
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1916-04-25

The Turner county farmer who in the last few
weeks has sold seventy head of beef cattle and
eighty-four hogs for the aggregate sum of three
thousand, five hundred dollars has nothing to fear
from the boil weevii plague or the uncertainties of
the cotton market. He is producing staples for
which there is a steady and ample demand. He is
conserving and enriching the resources of his SOIL
He is setting an example of prudence and progress
that will mean much in the upbuilding of his COM
munity.
We gather from our correspondents report that
this farmer while specializing on animal husbandry
by means limits himself to that field. His sue
in cattle and hog raising is based upon an ade
quate production of corn and forage and he raises
also plenteous supply of other foodstufs. That
is the sort of agriculture that will make Georgia
strong and prosperous and free.
When that system prevails throughout the
State, we shall seldom hear a cry of hard times or
be distressed at falling prices of cotton If one crop
fails, another will ripen in its place If the
cotton market sinks below reasonable figure, the
planter can store many bales as he chooses and
wait securely for the upward trend. And having
sold his cotton, he will not have to spend the pro-
ceeds in buying food supplies at high prices in dis
tant sections. Millions of dollars which now flow
to other regions will stay home for the develop
ment of Georgia enterprises.
There widening evidences that this condi-
ton of affairs is coming steadily to pass The Tur-
ner county example is among scores and hun
dreds. The idea of diversified farming gains
broader and broader sway The year 1916 should
establish new record in Georgias food production

SquareLy Behind the President.

North. South, East and West the press of the
United States is virtually unit in approving the
Presidents stand on the submarine issue and in be-
speaking for him the countrys stanch support in
whatever course the developments of the next few
days may compel him to take, With few obscure
and ignoble exceptions there is tnge of partisan
criticism or GOODNESS in the editorial comments
which followed the announcement of Mr.. Wilson's
decision. Republican papers as earnest as
Democratic papers in urging and expecting solid
allegiance to the nations leader in this troublous
hour. .e
That is the truly American way. Internal pol
itics should end where foreign danger begins. The
people know that the President has labored with
treless devotion and wonderful patience to pre-
peace They still hope that his efforts to keep
peace with honor will succeed. But they know that
in any event honor must be upheld and that the
United States must stand unfinchingly for justice
and humanity. ........-
