a SAFE FARMING PROGRAM.

Not only Is the food problem still
paramount one and the hunger of
the world still unappeased, but es-
pecially are we going into an era OF
uncertainties. He is d very unwise,
man, therefore, who makes up his
mind to speculate at such time.
The safest course is to secure first
the living of the people and then a
constant and well-equalized produc-
ton which will be the surest guar
anty of prosperity.
The following program would en-
sure farming:
% A good home garden for ev-
cry family and every town and viii
lage family in the South is necessary
to supply home needs for the maxi
mum number Of days in year, with
a sufficient surplus to be canned,
stored, or dried for future use.
(2) The production of corn on
Southern farms should be fully main
tanned and the acreage increased on
all farms and In all sections which
do not now produce sufficient guam
tity Tor home use, with the exception
OF Texas and Oklahoma, where there
should be an increased planting OF
grain sorghums instead
(3) The production of hay and
forage crops necessary to amply sup
ply the livestock on the farms Of the
South for one year, with an excess
for the sake OF safety and for city
and town consumption. should be a
part of the program throughout the
entire territory. In planting for hay
and forage production special atten-
ton must be given to the summer
legumes, velvet beans, cowpeas, soy
beans, and peanuts.
(4) The South should increase its
production of meat, eggs, and milk.
The production of hogs, cattle, and
poultry is now on the increase

THE MIRROR OF
PUBLIC OPINION
THE PRIZE FIGHT.

Half Of the resentment aroused by
such a sight as that OF Willard and
Dempsey, a resentment which may
follow an intense interest. arises
from the fact that the event seems
to be a strange distortion of decent
conduct II seems strange only be-
cause 1t has no background OF gen
eral use OF a sport which in general
use would be helpful. We have an
idea that Dempsey as the champion
will gather following somewhat
similar to that which Sullivan and
Fitz had. That was a devoted and
persisting following with sentiment
which lives today. Sullivan was lick
ed and Fitz was licked, but the SEN
timent for them as fighters never
died. Dempsey may arouse 1t. He
may be just the boy to do it. In
sports people frequently think the
old-timers were in class by them
selves. Generally the actual records
show that the new boys we're better
than the old, when one generation
can be compared with another. In
prizefghting there is the dead hand
and no way of lifting it. A sprinter
can prove that he is the best Splinter
the world ever saw, within the time
Of records at least. But the only
way Jack could prove that he is the
best fighter, or even in the first class,
would be to resurrect Sullivan, Cor
bett, Fitz, Jeffries, ETC., put them in
their prime, and then have him prove
it. He can't fight their shadows

AMERICA AND FRANCE.

1t would seem that nothing remains
to prove Americas friendship for
France or Frances friendship for
America. The announcement Of a
proposed alliance between the two
countries whereby America proposes
to pledge herself. to go to the assist

news that monument is to be erect
ed near the tomb of Lafayette to
the American soldiers who persisted
in France. France paid a loving
tribute to America by celebrating the
Fourth OF July with pomp and pag.
eantry, while the American ambassa-
dor laid wreath on the tomb Of
Lafayette. Thousands watched the
parade and review of French and
American picked troops, marines and
bluejackets. 1t is altogether fitting
and proper that on Americas indie
pendence Day ''the mystic chords of
memory" should touch the hearts of
both republics and swell the chorus
of nations freed from oppression.
The underlying story of these repub-
lies is essentially the same; their
common destiny for the welfare of
mankind makes them one. Mutual
