T A ON THE FARM.

The remunerative prices for corn,
cotton, cotton seed, grain of all
kinds, hogs, cattle, chickens, eggs and
butter, together with good roads, ru-
raj free delivery, c~heapening auto
mobiles, etc, has made farm life
more attractive than ever before.
For thirty years this writer has
Deen a close student of the misery en-
gendered by the people deserving the
farms and moving to the cities when
they have ne business there.
There are a great many farmers
even with the short cotton crop, who
will clear from one thousand to three
thousand dollars this year on rented
land. We are speaking of workers,
not of the miserable stumbling ex-
cuses of mean-whiskey drinking, to-
bacco-eating creatures who let their
cotton stay out in the rain all the
year and then cuss the cotton gam
blers' because some cotton buyer
refuses to give him fifteen cents per
pound for $50 pounds of rotten cot
ton and 100 pounds of water.
The cost of living mounts higher
and higher, and as fast as the farms
are neglected and more fool people
come to town to be fed the greater
the demand for the products of those
who do the feeding.
We are clearly of the opinion that
unless the price of living ceases to
climb and agricultural products and
live stock continue at present prices,
much of the idle wealth of our cities
is going to seek profitable investment
in agriculture.
There are in Dallas forty-one mil
lions of deposits in the banks. No
body wants this money, because
there is nothing to build or to buy
with it. Fanatical legislation has
about shut off all industrial enter.
prise-not even a street car or an in
terurban line is projected, to say
nothing of the presumption of raj
road building.
We have long ago arrived at the
opinion that the world is short on
nothing so much as common sense
and common honesty, especially on
common sense. Therefore, we plead
with men who really are useful in the
country but who would soon be an
absolute liability if they moved to
town, to stay in the country and con-
tribute their share toward the sue
cess and prosperity of the country
by creating something instead of con.
Stunning something which they woulc
soon be unable to procure-that j:
unless they have more money thar
the average misfit .who comes tc
town has.
We know that no sensible mar viii
criticise this criticism adversely
We are a country man come to town
and after thirty-two years are just
about able to eat three meals a day
without running the risk of bank
ruptcy. Had we stayed on the farm
and put one-half the energy in the
work of making something to eat we
would have been running with rich
men instead of having to work nine
to twelve hours per day for a living.
