 Fortunately the advice coincdes with the South's interest. Nobody has denied that it should raise foodsuffs. Now that the boll-weevl has hurt raising in such large the raising of foodstufs command high prices furnishes the South with great opportunity to make money and likewise to lay the basis for diversified and greatly needed system of agriculture.
 During the last few years there has beenNa notice able tendency to raise corn in that section Some communities have begun to raise wheat The present situation and the assured prospects of suit able reward for food should greatly stimulate the movement.

NEW YORK. Aug. 21.-A general
strike of machinists, boilermakers and
blacksmiths engaged in marine work
in the port of New York and vicinity
and including the navy yard in Brook
lyn was ordered here today at mass
meeting of representatives of marine
metal workers. The strike was called
to enforce settlement of demand
made six weeks ago for minimum
wage scale of $3.50 a day. While no
official action was taken to make the
strike nation wide, the apparently
unanimous sentiment expressed by
the men indicated that such was their
desire provided the issue was not
quickly adjusted.
The meeting was called by the ma
rine trades council of the port of New
York and was attended by men repre-
sentng thirty thousand union work
ers. It was announced. and involved
directly all shipbuilding plants in this
