this WILL Be A
GOOD CROP YEAR
WORK is BADLY BEHIND, BUT
CONDITIONS FAVOR THOSE
WHO TILL THE SOIL.

The farmers of this section have
done less work up to this time than
in many years before, and are be-
coming impatient to get busy in their
fields.
But, in spite Of it all, most any
one will tell you that this is going
to fine year for the farmers. Just
how this is known is not exactly
clear, but every man you talk with is
absolutely certain that bumper crops
will be gathered next summer and
fall.
Farmers who have observed con-
ditions for a long time say that long
cold winters are usually followed by
bountiful harvests. The ground was
frozen for six or seven weeks and
the earth has been frozen eight or
ten inches deep. This pulverizes the
ground, and makes it loose and mel
low. The water from the snow and
rain goes into the earth and remains
there to be absorbed by the growing
crops during the spring and sum-
mer.
This is the opinion of old and ex-
perienced farmers. And there is
good sense in it, too.
Farmers made good crops last
year and the high price of cotton
put them in good shape. Another
good crop this year and 80 cents for
their cotton will make the farmer
Independent.
And it stands them in need to
raise plenty of corn and things to
eat, too. There is a great demand
for food stuffs on account of the
war, and the farmer who lives at
home and raises plenty of the staple
crops will be in the swim next fall.

ucts. To have accepted Germany's
dictation, therefore, would have been
to put our agriculture in a state of
complete suffocation by taking from
every farmer the value of what he
produced above what he needed for
his own consumption.
The same power that would forbid
our exports would also in self inter
est forbid our imports except in the
interest of that power. Therefore
to have yielded to Germany's dicta-
ton would have restricted us to i'm
ports from Germany alone and would
have made US pay tribute for all
time to her industries.
If we had acquiesced in the limi-
tation of one ship a week we would
have conceded the right of Germany
to regulate our exports and imports
as she might see fit now or hereafter.
We had the choice of submitting to
that dictation or of fighting to main
tain our right to sell and to buy
wherever we might sell or buy to
advantage. 1t is inconceivable that
an American citizen, regardless of
his material interests, could yield to
such dictation by foreign power,
but on the low plane of material in
terests we had to fight Germany or
cease to be a nation of prosperous
producers and become a nation of
poems to Prussian autocracy.

RICH SOUTHERNERS
WORK IN The ARMY
KNOW HOW TO HANDLE MULES,
AND ALSO TO GET WORK
OUT OF NEGROES.

Several rich young Southern plan
tation owners, some of them among
the drafted men of the South, have
obtained assignments at the remount
stations at Camp Sheridan, Ala, and
other army posts in the South. They
are rated as first sergeants and re-
ceive $51 month as their compen-
sation. Some have declared that
they would rather not take any mon
ey from the government during war
time but they have no option in the
matter. Many ride about in their
automobiles while off duty, but for
all their wealth and advantages they
are said to be making good at hand
hing negroes and army mules.
One feature of the work at Camp
Sheridan is the strict compliance with
the governments order that there
shall be no shouting or swearing at
the horses and mules. Abuse of this
order is considered sufficient grounds
for discharge, something which no
millionaire Southerner would invite
because he would then be compelled
to accept service afoot with the draft
army.
Millionaires Must Work Hard.
The work at the remount stations
at Camp Sheridan is not easy. Ami
mails are shipped in by the carload,
and, after passing inspection to guard
against CHAMBERS and other contagi-
Gus diseases they are sent as needed
to Camp Sheridan. The millionaire
soldiers are compelled to work with
other men in uniform. They have
been found especially valuable in
handling negro laborers. In many
eases they have supplanted Northern
officers who did not understand how
to manage the negroes. and the ne
groes did not understand them.
One young man, rated as a mil
lionaire, has been advanced to the
position of superintendent of negro
laborers at the station. He is in the
saddle all day, directing the activi-
ties of his men.
