UNCLE SAM,
WHISKEY PEDDLER.

The United States government is
now engaged, legally, in helping the
booze men violate state laws. In
Georgia, as the Augusta Chronicle
points it out, newspapers cannot pub
lish whiskey advertisements, nor can
papers containing such advertisements
be brought in from other states. But
for one cent the postotfice department
will take into Georgia and deliver to
any address on any street tho name
requiredD a twenty-odd page batch
Of booze literature with order blanks
return envelopes, and all complete.
Such printed matter is now being
flooded into Georgia by the carload.
The express companies, operating I'M
der the regulations Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, deliver the
booze packages and are enlarging their
warehouses to handle the traffic. The
laws Of Georgia are thus defied and
evaded, the better conditions which
her citizens want and have voted for
are denied them, and all this is done
with the federal government acting
as barker for the whiskey show

Constitution, aptly describes the stu

CUES with great force that the Louis

it out Of the mails, and that child labor
is now prohibited lin so far as the ma

PURE SEED DEMANDED

Raising pure seed OF many crops re
quires more than average intelligence
and skill. But there is a demand fql
that skill to show itself on every fsSfsn
in Tennessee. Pure bred seed is be-
ing called for as is seen in several let
tiers received by the Division of Ex-
tension. One Of these letters comes
from Des Mones, Iowa. 1t asks for
the names Of persons in Tennessee who
could supply sorghum seed in quanti-
ties.
J. c. McAmis, specialist in crops of
the Division of Extension of the Uni
versity Of Tennessee, sent the names
of all the West Tennessee farmers
which he had at hand as producers Of
sorghum seed. There were seven who
raised Honey sorghum, three, Sugar
Drop; three, Amber; one, Gooseneck;
enc, Orange.
Earlier in the season there was a
big call for barley seed from farmers
in Tennessee who had not been grow
ing the kind of barley that they want
ed to grow. AS the fields begin to look
like they are ready to grow more crops
and as the farmers anticipate their
years work, there is a demand for
good seed.
More farmers could produce seed
for the general market and still not
demand.

BACK TO THE FARM.

]. is gratifying tc learn from rea
estate men in iiFerclt se.l.,.s Of tn
country that there is at last pro
nounced movement back to the farm.
They report large numbers Of cit!
men Of moderate means purchasing
farms and moving their families t.
them to escape the burdens Of the pres
ent high cost of living.
This is commendable and all right
so far as it goes, but the movement is
not general enough. And then, it is
not owners that are needed on the
farms, but workers.
For several decades past, now, there
has been a rapid exodus from the
farm. until in many sections of the
country It is almost impossible to Sc
cure farm help at any price. This has
had the inevitable result Of curtailing
the output of the farms, high prices
naturally resulting.
We have seen a table Of atistics
of the per cent of urban population as
compared to rural, at the present time
and fifty years ago. 1t showed start
ling growth of the cities and towns,
with not nearly an equal growth Of
rural population.
But, you say, these workers who
have deserted the farms for the city
are now engaged in manufactures.
Why, then, are not manufactured ar
ticles cheaper in price instead of be-
ing right up along side of food stuffs?
The answer is simple, and will have
to be taken into consideration in any
scheme to lessen the cost of living.
The farm is the barometer of the ma
tional life. Touch the farm and YOU
touch the national pulse. 1t matters
very little the scarcity or plenty of
manufactured products, if the farm is
over productive the prices fall; if the
farm fails, all prices rise in sympathy.
We know this is not at all accept
