Mr.. stanton, who is n skilled me-

arrived in Richmond on train about
SEQ o'clock, alighting at Elba Station.
He at once took westbound street

INUNDATED IN PRESENCE
OF LARGE STATION CROWD
Mr. Stanton said last night that
he had been greatly Inundated in the
presence of more than 100 people on
the station platform, that without any
cause whatever his tool kit had been
opened in n room at the station and
searched by n policeman. and that his
detention under the circumstances was
little short OF an outrage.
The practice of keeping under sur

Station. has been SO long followed by
the local police that complaints re-
ceive little or no attention from head
quarters. If the chief fails to take

has been advised that he has ground
for civil action against the officer,

Mr.. Topnoody went to minstrel

''No, / can't" she said.

can never get at this sort of thing in
the same clear-headed way a man
can. Well, the way to spell it is
Cash. Isn't that money!"
Mrs. T. failed to smile, and Top
moody started out with another.
''Wait a minute" she interrupted.
GIVE got one. Let's see if you can
get it. Spell Topnoody with five let
ters."
Topnoody puckered his brows
awhile and gave it up.

chats good. A man can never get
at this sort of thing in the same
clear-headed way woman can. Well,
the way to spell it is idiot. Isn't

But Topnoody never smiled, and
breakfast was finished in silence, ex-
cept an occasional chuckle from Mrs.
Topnoody's end of the table.

<<OLD FOCY" ON
FARM PROBLEMS

was born in the country.
miles away from a railroad sta
ton, some 70 years ago. l have
been over much of the well-tilled
country and in the partly civil
liked section of the world in the
last half century. Doubtless, |
am an old fogy, and it may be
that with all my experience
and also it may be that the ex-
rerience of thousands of other
elderly men that favor heal pro-
gress-has but little, if any val
ue.
| am very glad that real men
desire to aid our country at any
time, and particularly glad that
they are studying means and
methods ; trying to ascertain the
best means and methods. And,
| know of no move that | feel
will be productive of more good
than getting earnest, patriotic
boys and men to go out in the
country, with the aim in view of
learning how to produce food
crops.
But it is idle to fill the minds
of boys and men with the idea
that farmers will literally COM
pensate them, feed and room
them, and do the laundry work
that must be done, unless the
farmer is not only a patriotic,
but a wealthy man, and is will
ing to do all this for the good of
humanity. Such labor, unless
under the guidance of men ca
pable of teaching and rorrectly
doing the work to be done land
where such laborers are INSTALL
ed in camps to work in special
lines) would be of little value.
1t is a wrong idea, and the result
will be that unkind feelings will
be generated and the farmer will
be thought to be a "swin-flint,"
as such laborers will not be
worth their board.
Personally, l would be glad if
all boys or young men could
have a year or two years train
ing on farm. Physically, | be-
lieve that it would do at least 80
per cent. of them good. The boy
and his parents as well would
learn that farming is business
and that labor is good for all.
AS a religious doctrine it was
proclaimed at the very gates of
Eden. Everyone connected with
this great moral and physical
uplift will learn that to pillow
and cultivate the soil requires
strength, and also, that no man
ever lived who became a reason
ably good farmer or a plowman,
in two years laboring on a farm.
No man ever became a good me-
chanlc, or skilled worker in any
line, in one or two years. The
trained soldier is far more eff
Gent than the raw recruit just
sworn into service.
City farmers are not success
full by reason of a lack of know
ledge and skill in this line. In
all lines of endeavor it is expect
ed that the applicant will not
only give the work to be done
his undivided attention, but that
it will gladly take instructions
from one that has had years of
experience. And | regret that
there are scores of farmers that
are, after years of experience,
only laborers, and that cannot
instruct a novice, as they do not
know the how or why them
selves. And the proof of this is
that they are not successful.
But this I do know-that
those that go out from the
towns and cities to work on

| IolhS are IlOI as ignorant as they
now believe them to be; and
they will also learn that it takes
years to learn the habits of
plants, and how to hoe and cult
vate plants. Only last year !
saw a man hoe his beans while
the dew was on the plants. Of
course they were struck with
rust and his seed and labor was
lost, while corn and cabbage are
not injured by cultivating them
under the same conditions.
Only yesterday | was on a
farm that in my boyhood days
was wonderfully productive. 1t
is now owned by a gentleman in
New York City. He had INSTALL
ed some three years ago an edu-
Gated man; educated for anoth-
er avocation in life, and the en-
tire product of the farm, if all
had been sold, would not aggre-
gate one half the money expend-
ed in the efforts to raise profita-
BILE crops. This illustrates the
reason why | fear for results.
And yet, | am really glad the
movement to conserve has had
such wonderful impetus. Hor-
ace Greedy raised 5 cent cab
bages, at cost of SO cents each,
and thousands of others will
learn that experience, thought
and reason are required to fer
tilize the efforts of labor. | do
know that no farmer can board
and room any young man for
less than 500 per month, and an
unframed, unskillful laborer can
not earn that much on a farm
in a month. Labor ceases dur
ing rainy days; the expense of
feeding goes right on.
We know that crops must be
planted and cultivated or they
cannot be garnered; but it is "a
long way to Tipperary" from
ploughing to gathering crops.
The work on a farm in harvest
time is not operated on an 8
hour per day basis. Frequently
Is hours per day when gather
ing grain, or fruits and berries,
or the labor and seed and use of
soil is lost for the season. And
have seen thousands of bushels
of potatoes, and thousands of
baskets of fruit, and tons of me-
Ions, remain in the fields ungath-
cred, because the price of labor
to gather was greater than their
value in market.
And yet, | want to say again,
that the move is in the right di-
rection. Mankind will learn that
for years the producer has been
lily repaid for the food he has
grown. And now, when prices
are high for products, the sue
cessful all-around farmer hest
tates. He fears that an over
supply will result in slump of
prices then he will suffer finan-
cially. But | do feel that the
lesson Of actual cost of products
Cabor cost will be of great ad-
vantage to the farmer, and that
the babblers will quit their silly
'hayseed" babbling.
Our great men ca, they that
love to head COMMITTEES,
those that know more about
farming the farmer than they
do of actual labor. They are
those that clamor for Commit
tees and Commissions. They are
those that are trying to direct
farming. And l will wager
stogy cigar that not one (of
these) in a hundred, can tell
truthfully of soil conditions;
that they cannot tell what the
soils greatest need is by an exa-
mination of the plants or weeds
growing naturally from the soil.
| feel that our hopes are being
built on false foundations. De-
ception will not aid us.
| have just read from dis
tinguished (?) professor and
he says that boys can aid in
