| Commenting on the report of the
United States Agricultural Department

year in comparison with last year.
President Harrison, of the Southern
Railway Company, SAID:
"The figures show a gratifying ten
dency IN the direction of crop dlversifi-
cation. In every Southern state ira
versed by Southern Railway lines. ex-
cept Kentucky and Tennessee, the
acreage reported this year shows
substantial increase over last year.
Kentucky shows decrease and the
acreage in Tennessee Is the same as
last year. The largest increases are
shown IN Georgia. Alabama and Miss
issippl-states into which the cotton
boil weevil has spread. Georgia and
Alabama show increases Of 13 per cent
over last year, while Mississippi,
which has heretofore grown little
wheat, shows an increase OF 157 per
cent.
Thcse increases in wheat acreage
are IN line with increases in other
crops and with increasing the number

BOX WAS OPENED.
European War Sufferers Remembered to
the Extent of SI256.

Last week Rev. w. C. Martin and
the editor of the Chronicle opened the
box that has been in the post office
since before Christmas to receive do
nations for the war sufferers Of Eur
ope. The box contained total of
SIZES, which was made up of two
dollar check signed by r. K. Dunbar,
two one-dolar bills sent in by persons
in Grassy Cove and Genesis, one silver
dollar. numerous halt dollars, quarters
an smaller change. Since the box was
opened some generous hearted person
at Westel sent fifty cents in silver and
asked that 1t be placed in the box The
donor did not sign their name.
In view of the fifty cents that came
later 1t was suggested by Rev. Martin
that the box be continued in the post
Office Until spring and be opened oc
casionally and the funds forwarded to
the several relief societies. The box
IS in the post office ready to receive
any donations that any person may
choose to contribute.
Rev. Martin has forwarded the
$12. Sc t. the Armenian Relief society,
as it Is clear that these Christian peo-
pie are among the most severe suffer-
ers and for no reason other than that
they are Christians. The unspeakable
Turk has brought about the death Of
many thousands of Armenlans by di-
rect slaughter, abuse and starvation.

NOT GUESS WORK.
These things are not matters OF
guess work or opinion, but matters of
simple mathematics.
The last census showed that the
average man in this country who had
had no schooling earned $3.50 year ;
the man with common school training,
$3.50; the man who finished the high
school course, $1,000; the man who
had completed the college course,
$1,000.
AMONG FARMERS.
In a survey of agricultural conditions
in New York it was found that the
farmer who is high school graduate
makes twice as much money as the
farmer who is not; and that the farm
er who has graduated from college
makes three times as much as the
farmer who has not comr leted the high
school course.
A number of years ago DR.. Chas. w.
Dabney investigated and found that
the average earning capacity OF the
citizens Of the various states was in
direct proportion to the educational
advantages offered by the various
states. Every investigation since has
confirmed tie conclusion. Indeed, 1t
IS matter to we'll settled for dispute
or dIscussiot The average boys

ton to the school advantages he has
now.
The most productive years Of the
average mans life are the years he
spends going to school. He literally

other time. Southern Agriculturist.

On the strength of an appeal from
NJ. K. Duty, of Richie county, made
in behalf OF Edgar Urban Berger, of
Pennsboro, Congressman Stuart +.
Reed called on Secretary Daniels yes.
terday. Berger was born in Belgium
and was brought to this country by his
parents at the age Of three years. His
father. who died eight years ago, was
q glass blower. The elder Berger had
taken out his first naturalization pa
pers, but died before he could become
a full.fledged, legalized American citi.
zen. The son recently enlisted in the
ravy, passed the examination, but
when It was discovered that he was Of
Belgian birth and that his father, had
never become an American citizen, he
was refused. Senator Duty vouched
for him In a fine tribute to the young
man written to Congressman Reed,
and the latter showed the letter to
Secretary Daniels, and appealed to the
latter to issue waiver for Berger so
that he could get into the navnl ser.
vice. This will probably be done, 1t
was intimated by Secretary Daniels,
shortly.
