Small White Farmers Hope
Of South.

There is great need in the south
for us to give attention to the
very evils that overthrow Rome
and are poisoning the life OF
Mexico-the increase of tenantry
and absentee landlordism, and the
other forces that make against the
increase of independent small
farmers among us. And with US
tile problem is further compllcat-
ed by the negro problem, says
| Progressive Farmer.
We should like to see the ne
groes own the land they till, as
we should like to see all other
classes. but we want to see them
buy in colonies of their own.
In fact, it is very important,
lin our opinion. for our people
to see that this policy prevails
Tn communities where consider
able numbers Of white people are
living, we cannot afford to have
the negro population become re-
latively so much more numerous
As to leave the white population
TOO small for an adequate white
society. The writer knows that
in his old home neighborlIood, for
example, not a few white people
have moved away because the
negro j nalation has become pro-
po"rtionatcly too large and white
population 100 smaH-too small to
furnish enough white neighbors
for the women and children.
This is a tendency that calls for
every serious consideration; and
the main reason why the writ
believes every southern sta
should set about bringing to 4
Just as many thrifty northern al
western white settlers as we Ct
get. We need them and ne
them badly-need them to saN
the rural south to the white ra
and provide the thickly settle
intelligent, thrifty white con
munities that we must have,
order to get the needed gol
schools and roads and librari
and telephone and social cente
that the rural south yet lacks.
To make the rural south a gre
Democracy of thrifty, home-owl
ing small white farmers-this
our only hope of becoming a pc
manently great and f%orceful Sc
ton. And the success of educ
ton, cooperation and equal legI
lation in the south is large.

were unavaiIing in. Judge Fishers
morals court today.
ACCOMPANIED by her daughters,
three grandchildren and other Tela-
lions, she came before the court to-
day to plead for a new trial or else

Her two attorneys asked the court
to consider what it would mean to
the daughter good girl Of IS
her grandchildren bright little boys
and girls who stood manfuIly by dur
ing the hearing. They asked that
the stain of prison sentence be not
placed upon the family of which old
Catherine Court was the head.
So effectively did the attorneys
plead that old Caffeine bowed her
head on the bar and wept and all Of
her family wept with her, as the law
yers asked for another chance for
her.
But Judge Fisher denied her free
dom from sentence, though he ex-
tended leniency in imposing it.

this woman" said Judge Fisher in
imposing sentence, "and-as they
weep you ask that l, out of consid-
Grafton for the name and feelings of
the children and grandchildren, let
this woman go.
Five girls are now serving SEN
fences in the Brideweu because they
were inmates of this old woman's
house at 10 Wells st. The guilt of
this woman, though she did not sell

Judge Fisher said he thought
old Mrs. Court should get the limit
of a years Imprisonment and 5000

jury, which, when it found her guilty,
recommended leniency on account
of her age, he would give her sc

Tomato Outlook Bright

The force and effect of the short pack
of tomatoes during the last season, ac-
cording to latest reports, will cause a
material increase in price another sea-
son. For three years the pack was alb
normally large and the price unusually
low, hence many packers began last
year with finances badly crippled be-
cause Of steady losses and practically
none sold on futures.
At this time the price of, canned
goods is at a very satisfactory figure
for Gamers and many are selling at
good profits. The short pack of last
year means that even if higher prices
are asked for tomatoes at retail, the
supply will soon be exhaust d and this
will brighten the prospects for paying
season for Gamers this year.
Whether or not packers will offer in
ducements this year is not known. It is
certain, though, that the beginning OF
the next season the outlook will be
brighter for Gamers and growers may
we'll expect a more remunerative sea-
SON than in 1915.

THE FARMERS INSTITUTE

Although fine weather and ever yet
finer speakers greeted the Farmers In
stitute held in the Town Hall on Wed
nesday, it was very lamely attended
affair, barely corporal's guard of
''horney-handed" agriculturists turning
out, and about half of those were ladies
and "town farmers!"
Comparing this event with former
ones we should say the local interest in
the improved farming which is as
much superior to the old as express
trains are to Omnibuses-was progress
ing crab fashion
The morning session being unattend-
ed was adjourned, and only dozen or
so attended in the afternoon when Mr..
Cyrus Flock gave an excellent talk on
Alfalfa, as plain as meaty. Briefly from
memory "Drain and lime the land well,
crop it before planting to alfalfa. Then
inoculate the land either with earth
from an old alfalfa field filled with the
nitrogen fixers. or buy alfalfa seed we'll
treated with the bacteria, and finally,
fertilize at once after the first cutting
of the crop. "
Miss Jefferson, member of the ia
Guilty of the Woman's College, at New
ark, gave very interesting and useful
talk on ''Hygienic Cooking, wherein
she told how the food should be in keep
ing with the occupation so far as pos
sible, and especially should show a
proper proportion of the three leading
elements needed by the body, protelds,
carbohy hydrates, and fats, with plenty of
water drinking.
Our reporter lost his note book, or we
would give our readers a sample ''bal-
anced meal suggested by the talented
speaker, who cautioned against an ex-
cessive use Of one or more of these
food elements as a cause of disease, par
ticuIarly, d too rich proteid diet which
set up serious intestinal troubles, de-
veloping very dangerous toxins, etc
The evening session was also poorly
attended, altho very able addresses were
given by Messrs. Thomas N. Knight,
editor of the practical Farmer, on
"Fertilizers and economical fertiliza-
ton, and M. P. Philips on ''Live stock
standardization and how to bring it
about.
We say again, it is pity, such valu-
able practical presentations of themes
so useful to every farmer should have
been heard by such pitiful handful
