her mind on how to correct it instead
of bemoaning the fact that she might
be censured.
When she met censure. and some
times she did, both justly and unjust

ON COTTON
SITUATION
EXTENSION WORK CHIEF SAYS
FARMERS AND BUSINESS MEN
IN SOUTH ARE IN CRITICAL
! aIruATloN THIS SPRING.

washington, March 29.-Cotton
farmers and business men of the
south are in a critical situation this
spring, Bradford Knapp. chief of the
extension work south, of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. told extension
work forces recently in outlining
some Of the difficulties of farming In
the south this year and the import
ance Of safe farming.
..If the south plants as large an
acreage to cotton as in 1918. and has
a good season, resulting in a large
crop. the possible danger to southern
prosperity can scarcely be overesti-
mated declared Mr.. Knapp.
"a well balanced system of agrf-
culture is the best answer to this
problem, not only in 1919, but in any
wear in peace or in war. The safety
and security of the southern people
depend greatly on the production of
the food necessary for the people
and the feed necessary for the in
creasing livestock"
Mr.. Knapp pointed out that the ex-
change value of cotton in relation to
the retail price of necessities Of life
was no different when cotton was
worth 80 cents a pound in 1918 from
what It was when cotton was worth
IL cents in years before the war.
Reduction OF cotton acreage was
urged by Mr.. Knapp, not so much by
a level cut Of a certain proportion OF
the acreage Of every farm, as by con-
verting every farm into self-sus-
tanning unit. He urged getting on a
cash basis instead of a credit basis
and selling the excess products of
the farm to supply theliving expenses

Why Wisconsin Is Known as
Badger State and Origin
of "Sucker" for Illinois

Wisconsin is called the Badger
state, not. as most people seem to
think. because the badger formerly
abounded there, for in the past Wis
consin was never a favOrite home of
this little Quadruped. writes CORE
spondent.
The familiar nickname originated
rather with the early settlement of
southwestern Wisconsin, whose lead
mines attracted the first considerable
migration to Wisconsin. The hardy
lead miners who pushed into the por-
tiOn of the northwestern wilderness
intent on digging fortunes from the
earth with their picks were composed
In the main of two groups. One, made
up of men from southern Illinois and
further south. went down the Mis-
sissippi to their homes every win
ter and returned In the spring TO Ia
Dor for another season; the other, com
posed of miners from the Eastern
states, could not thus easily go home.
and so they "burrowed in" for the
winter In rude shacks or huts, which
frequently were built after the fash
ion of dugOuts.
The men who went south for the
winter and returned In the spring were
given the name of suckers" from the
similarity Of this practice with
that Of the well-known fish of the
Mississippi, Rock and other Western
streams.
The men who wintered in the lead
mines were called badgers" They
were the first permanent settlers In
the lead mines north Of the Wiscon-
sin line. and thus the name became
associated with the state.
Thus did the people Of Wisconsin
and Illinois gain the popular nick
names of Badger" and "Sucker" by
which they have ever since been
known.

War Council of the Southeast Divis-
ion TO prepare set Of preliminary
reports TO be brought before large
body of ministers, and other religi-
Gus and social workers which will
meet in the same city on January
ii and IS.
These reports have TO do with the
returning soldiers, both white and
colored, who are rapidly being de-
modified and allowed to hasten
back TO their homes TO enter again
into civilian life.
The men constituting the Board
for the Southeast Division are con-
WINGED that the same agencies which
have protected and strengthened the
soldier during his term of service
should accompany him back to his
home and enlist his interest and
cooperation in a movement that
will afford an opportunity for the
practical application of his newly
acquired experiences and abilities
to the affairs of everyday life in his
own community.
The contention of the men in the
Atlanta group has been recognized
by the National War Council of the
Y. NJ. C. A., and considerable sum
'of money has been set aside to
finance the program.
The first step was taken by the
conference which has just met at
Atlanta About twenty men con-
stituted his group. All except two,
the representatives from Berea and
Tuskegee, are directly engaged in

The plan carries with it these
features:
1. A training school at Blue
Ridge which will be attended in
shifts by two white men and two
colofcd men from each southern
county requiring this number for
the best results.
,. A course of intensive training
for twelve days for every man who
attends. The religious, the educa-
tional, the social, the economic, the
health conditions OF the South will
receive special attention, and the
programs drawn at Atlanta will be
whipped into form for immediate
use.
3. Placing competent men in
charge Of several counties as su-
pervisOrs who will enlist all the vol
unteer assistance possible, including
the returned soldier, in construc-
tive program for the welfare OF the
soldier and his community.

Exactly, the consultations es-

head of the house, but, of course,
she never asks him about anything
important. She says: Henry, do
you think the grass ought to be
cut?' and, of course, she makes a
strong point of agreeing with him
whatever he decides about the
grass. And she lets him take lit

he looked like a peeled onion, for
my son-in-law has strong convic-
