SOUTHERN RF-ORCANlzfS
AGRICULTURAL SERVICE
Especial to The Hustler.)

Washington, June 28.-With g view
to making the agricultural service OF
Southern Railway Company and is as
sOciated companies more helpful to the
farmers OF the South, President Harri-
son has made a complete reorganiza-
ton of the service to go into effect on
July 1.
With the extension of the farm dem
Cnstration work Of the I'm ted States
department OF agriculture and of the
states and the appointment of demon
~stration agents in most of the cOun-
tries ~traversed by the lines of the COM
panies there is not the broad field for
railroad agricultural demonstration
work that existed when this service
was i~naugurated by Southern Railway
Company in 1910, when there We're very
few agents in the field. There is now,
however, a broad field for helpful work
in connect on with the marketing of
products of Southern farms, especially
in localities in which farmers without
experience in selling anything but cot
ton are ga ng into diversified farming
and especially in aiding small pro-
ducers to consolidate their products
and market comparatively.
Since January 1, 1913, the companies
have maintained market agents al
Washington, Cincinnati. st. Louis and
Atlanta for the purposes of finding
markets for Southern products and
bringing buyers into touch with the
producers. This service is now to be
greatly strengthened. A farm products
agency is to be substituted for the
market agency at Atlanta with Mr..
Roland Turner. now agricultural agent
at Birmingham, Ala, as chief farm
products agent. The present agri cul-
tUral field agents of the company, ten
in number will be appointed farm pro-
ducts agents. reporting to Mr.. Turner.
The market agents at Washington,
Cincinnati and st. Louis will compile
and promulgate informal On as to mar
kets. including quantities, varieties,
grades and packs desired for different
markets and as to freight rates and IA
~cilfties. This information will be pro-
mulgated to producers through the
farm products agency or direct, as cir
cumstances may require. The market
agents will also compile and promGl-
gate to buyers information as to pro-
ducts for sale. The chief farm pre-
ducts agent and the farm products
agents will familiarize themselves with
producers and products in their terri
tories and forward detailed information
to h market agents. They will ad-
wise producers as to the varieties,
grades and packs required for different
markets and will give special attention
to encouraging small producers to or
ganize for cooperative marketing.

THE END OF HI WAR.

We are at last ready to predict the
end of the war in Europe. While we
have had ~unwavering faith in the tri-
umph of the allies, until recently we
have had no idea when the end would
come; but many recent events give US
the clear impression that the crisis
cannot be delayed longer than the
early part of next year. We believe
the hOpelessness of the task under
taken is steadily forcing itself upon
The population of Germany, and when
the people of a country loose faith the
end cannot be distant. The contest is

administration could not avoid it hoped to remain
consistent with its unfortunate policy OF inviting other

The final recognition of the CaTranza government
proves that the administrations was wrong from

tangled up in such a mess by wTetehed management
that the only way to bolt reversing itself and
demonstrating the absurdy of all its previous activities

The Herald is totally out Of sympathy with any
General Remuneration of Mexico and Mexicans, any
snsion in or ont of congress, to embaTTass the de
facto Government at this time. The Herald believes it
is voicing the desire of majority OF Americans and
Furopeans both in and out of Mexico both directly in
terested financially or industray and disnterested
when it pleads for fair play and for time to work out
the internal problem in the best way
It would be unfair oppressive, and osnonest Tor the
Americans at this time place obstacles IN the way
of Meco's restoration The Herald has no decisions
about Mexico no great hopes OF early complete restoa
ton The Herald is disposed to regard Mexico as in
transition stage that may last for decade or two
decades with recurring disturbances losses, and rampant
evils Mexico is not ready for an advanced democracy
and anv faction or factona leader that undertakes to
strike forward too far in advance of his age and his
people IS doomed to disappointment and defeat.
Eut there i = tremendous work that the United
States can do to assist Mexico in her reconstruction
without bringing forward the threat Of armed interven
ton in Mexcos affairs. The relations of the United
States with Mexicans and Mexican affairs have been
abnormal for five years-hey have been unwise and
tactful at all times positively dishonest and criminsy
wrong at certain times Instead OF protecting the in
terests of Americans and letting MexicOs domestic
affairs alone our government has done precisely the
opposite: it has abandoned Americans and American
interests and has inteTfered to the maximum extent
with Mexico's domestic affairs. There is much
need of reform in our governmental attitude toward
Mexico as there is in Mexico itself But Mexico should
be given fair chance now, without forgetting,
waving or compromising single one Of our manifest
rights under the laws Of nations and the usages Of
international comfy.

Plumbing Is A Modern American Affiction

DLUMBING is a modern affliction

used IN the house and the pipe dreams
are used in the bill. With the aid OF
the pipe and the pipe dream together,
the plumber is able to convey water

recognition of the CarTanza government that armed
Intervention and longterm occupation of the country
That may day, but every possible resource
in should be exhausted before armed Intervention
IS seriously considered The Herald believes that armed
intervention is not necessary, has not been necessary
and will not become necessary if the relations with
Mexico handled with honesty, sincerity, tact, and
ordinary wisdom
But, the other hand, it is idle for any one,
matter how ardent friend of the administration he
may be- to attempt to minimize the terrible wrongs
that have been committed in Mexico and along the
border with the full knowledge, and almost with the
connivance, of our government. When the time
other foreigners the negotiations should be carried
with the utmost frmness and persistence Mexico must
pay, and pay heavily, for the wrongs deliberately done
in the of her revolution Payments of money will
remedy the wrongs bring back the dead; but
the long course of abuses has been to very large
degree the fault of government and this fact
must be taken into consideration 1t is along this line
that senators may justly wisely and periodically assai
the Washington administration.
Conditions in Mexico are bad, but they are not so
bad as some of the more radical critics would make
them appear Generally speaking there has been marked
improvement since the recognition of the CarranZa gov
