to West Tennessee for this message.
In ten West Tennessee counties the

age History says that the weevil
keeps on moving year by year He
gets used to colder climate each year.
In some parts of Arkansas and Mis-
sissippi the weevil has done great
damage. 1t is this fact that has brought
the three states together in cam
paign for more profitable farming,
and since West Tennessee is the part
Of Tennessee most interested in the
cotton crop, the campaign is being car
ried on here.
But the message that the campaign
has for the farmer will reach the
ears OF many man who never grew
cotton in his life.
This is the message; Every farmer
should grow crops and live stock to
sell at profit, while increasing the
fertility of his land-feed the land
with lime, phosphate and legumes.
Every person who works farm should
grow enough to feed both his stock
and his family.
In other words, one crop farming is
Improbable farming.

WHO'S GOT THE MONEY?

We are told that there is more mon
ey in the country today than ever be-
fore in our history. Possibly so, but
where is it? Is it in the banks, or in
the hands of borrowers In either
case it is not in the hands of the mass
es of the people.
Borrowed money is not an asset II
is liability, and the heaviest kind of
one Chew these facts for while, and
see how they digest:
How often can the three-dollar-a-
day man with family afford eggs at
so and 60 cents dozen, as they are
in the cities?
How many porterhouse steaks can
he afford at rs cents?
With flour at $40 a barrel, and pota-
toes at So and SO a bushel, and even
the humble corn meal up in the clouds
how can that large family afford to
eat?
With clothing, shoes, groceries, with
everything disable up in prices and wa
ges down, how often is the poor man
going to eat, and what is he going to
eat?
Yes, there are millions-even bill
lions--of money in the country, but it
sin the hands of the few, while the
many must be content with envy and
longing.
The average wage Garner is to be
pardoned an occasional cuss word when
he reads of the golden stream that is
pouring into the people"
He would even like to be one Of the
people,"

Hard words--yes, hard but true
No man has right to impoverish the
soil, even if he does hold title deed
to it. At-least it is only his for sea-
son, when it must pass on to another
rightful owner.
And what about the rights of that
next owner? And the next and the
next?
When you pursue policy that i'm
poverishes your land, it goes to your
son at your demise poorer than when
you received it.
Have you, in that event, been hon
est to your son? He had right to
receive from you what you received
certainly no less.
Win the farmers of America rob
the unborn generations, or will they

THE STATES-CRAPHIC
PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY
WHAT IS YOUR INTENTION?

Are you a land owner? If so, what
is your intention with regard to the
land that you own? Do you propose
to regard it merely as a business in
vestment, and to extract from it ev-
cry possible dollar of profit?
We have known farmers whose treat
ment of land was calculated to leave
the impression that they were the ones
for whom it was originally created,
and that when they should cease to
need it no other use would ever be
made of it.
On the other hand, there are men
and many Of them-who, while striv-
ing to make their land as productive
as possible, have yet an eye to future
owners.
Every farmer when he takes charge
of piece of ground, should frame this
simple resolution.
81 hereby resolve that whether my
occupancy of this land be long or short
| will use every means at hand to leave
it more productive than when | found
it,"
And If this were the guiding prin-
ciple of every farmers life, what a
blessed and productive country ours
would become in few generations Of
timel
And why not?
Every farmer who has ever work
ed with impoverished soils knows how
discouraging and heart sickening is
the struggle.
And every farmer who has honestly
endeavored to improve his land to a
point of real productiveness knows
how gratifying it is to see his yield
mount upward from year to year and
to feel that as the seasons go by ne
i adding substantially to the wealth.
Of this country-for after all is said
land is the great tangible asset OF the
earth.

COULDN'T DRIVE FLY AWAY
Then Young Naval Officer Discovered
to His Chagrin Why Insect Stuck to
Bald Head OF His Superior.

A naval official is opposed to the
tattooing habit so prevalent among
sailors, and In an address on u man
of-war he recently said:
81 want to tell you boys q story, a
fly story.
"a young lieutenant was invited to
dine one evening with the gunners'
mess of q sister ship. He sat opposite
a baldheaded major at table, and just
as he finished his soup he noticed Il
fly on the top Of the majors head.
"The ~lleutenant's attention was so
absorbed by the fly that he lost the
trend Of all the table talk. Why didn't
the insect fly away? Why didn't the
major notice II? Couldn't he do some
thing himself to scare II Off
"He sneezed very loud. He coughed
very loud. He fourished his napkin
close to the majors head. But the fly
still retained its calm and m~otionless
pose on the majors polished white
dome.
"The fish course came and went.
The roast came and went. Still the
fly stuck. The young lieutenant could
stand 1t no longer. He coughed and
said:
Excuse me, major, but you've had
n fly on the top Of your head ever since
dinner began. I've been trying to
brighten 1t away, but 1t won't go
The major REDEEMED with rage.
Then he roared:
"'The fact is. young fellow. when !
was your age ] was as big Il fool as
you are. That fly is tattooed'"

The wide-sleigh law, passed first
in 1918 and repealed in 1915, was re-
enacted by the legislature of 1917, and
after January /. 1919, it will be unlaw-
full for anybody to sell a new sleigh,
manufactured after that date, which
has runners less than four feet and six
inches apart. The law also forbids any
person using a sleigh of less width pur-
chased after January l, 1919. thus pre-
venting people from getting around the
statute by shipping in sleighs from out
side the state. The object of the law
is to make roadways in the snow Of
even width, so that automobiles may be
operated in winter as well as summer.
In some communities in the state the
wide sleighs have come into general
use, the farmers preferring them to the
narrow kind, which have been in use
for a century or more They claim
that the wide sleigh is less likely to tip
over, and at the same time it makes a
better roadway.
