Southern soldiers to the number of
1.400 lying in the great Army debarka-
ton hospitals of New York, are de-
pendent for their first touches of home
cheer and welcome, the efforts of
just a few women who are striving
valiantly to meet the needs of the situ-
alton but have found themselves over
whelmed by the work. Mrs. Leroy
Broun OF the Southern Society who
has charge of the welcoming of wound
ed men, oentering at the Hall of States,
maintained by War Camp Community
pealed repeatedly for more volunteers
from the states of Alabama, Arkansas
North CAROLINA, Florida, Georgia. Loui-
siana, Mississippi, Virginia, and West
Virginia. and has few representatives
of some of these states picked as Chair
men for their own commonwealth. but
she has not been able to find Sufficient
volunteers to take care of separate
desks for each state, as should be done
in view Of the great number of wounded
men arriving here daily, sometimes to
the number of 1000 in 81 hours.
The Southern Society maintains at
the Sewannee HouSS. 1874 East 5Sth 81,
a home center for the southern soldiers
and those who are able to find their
way there are entertained lavishly- The
men who are unable to leave the hos

the debarkation hospitals, however, are
dependent for their welcome on letters
sent by State committees in this Hall

able to recruit sufficient forces to write
to all the southern men.

will get them and the others will re-
ceive none of the outside aid. Mr..
Smiths plans are therefore uncertain
at present The work he has been do
ing will fall on Carl w. Burnett, coun-
ty agent, in addition to his other du-
ties, and what Mr.. Burnett cannot do
will have to be neglected.
Mr.. Smith made an interesting state
nent regarding the most important
duty of the county agent. He said that
the impression is wrong that agents
chief duty is to stimulate greater pro-
duction. He pronounced it to be a
patent fact that if the farmers can h1It
market their crops with reasonable
degree of profit, they will nav
stimulus to large production that will
be necessary. He declared that the
most serious problem before production
today is that of finding a reasonable
market; and was further of the opin-
ion that the problem is so serious in
Escambia county that unless the bust
ness men of Pensacola come to the
rescue of the producers and devise
some way to open a better market,
production in this county and section
will receive serious setback.
AS strong item of proof of his con-
tention he cited an experience of the

desks and separate organizations for
writing to their individual men. Stin
other states, notably Massachusetts
and Kansas, have made appropriations
of from $35, 900 to $500 for the well
coming of their boys to America, and
some of them maintain large club rooms
in New York in addition to their desks
in the Hall of States. Several of heSe
states have sent secretaries direct from
home to take charge of the work here.
Mrs. Broun has been getting in touch
with various organizations in the in
dividual and southern states. and special
endeavors are now being made to get
a desk started Tor Mississippi and Loui-
siana. H. NJ. K. Smith of 1107. Broad
way, has gone to Mississippi with a
view to interesting there the State gov
eminent or State organizations in the
work for the wounded men here.
Outside of the cheering and visiting
OF wounded men, the women at the
Hall of States are busily engaged in
welcoming men from other home com
munities who are able to get about
Another important activity is a nation
wide employment bureau which the

trees, seeks positions back home for
men from the southern states, and
sends lads direct from here to the jobs.
Mrs Broun's efforts at the Hail Of
States are seconded daily by Miss FL
v1ra B. Wright OF Charleston, S. c.,
who takes special care of the South
Carolina men, and gives help to all
other southern soldiers, and by Mrs.
Alfred Spencer who. like Mrs Broun,
is from Memphis. Chairmen have been
appointed for several of the individual
states, but sickness or absence from
the city has prevented most of them
from doing any active work.

4OF FARM AGENT
ON RETIRING FROM WORK IN
EschMBIA COUNTY, MR.. SMITH
OFFERS SOME POINTED SUG-
GEsTfONS ON FARMING.

one strong outstanding feature OF a
rather arief meetings of the board of
county commissioners meeting, devot-
Cd in the main to routine business, was
The hearing of the final report of Pig
club Manager j. L. Smith and the ac-
ion thereon. Mr.. Smith is retiring
TuIv /. and the report rendered gave
! comprehensive view of the valuable
work he has performed in the four
months of his activity in Escambia
county.
In that time he has induced thirteen
bows to Join peanut clubs, thirty to join
corn clubs and IS to join pig clubs,
a total of 1913 boys enlisted in these
three phases of farm industry. He has
made fourteen visits to peanut club
boys, fiety-eight to corn club boys and
I12 to pig club boys, total or 1s4
visits to enlisted boys.
He has met and conferred with LOO
farmers on the road, and has visited
IS farmers on their farms, besides
visiting SO schools and clubs. He has
held four farmers meetings and %
other meetings; has distributed 29S
bulletins and circulars, written 428 lets
ters, and given several newspaper in
terviews, besides travelling 5038 miles,
mostly by automobile.
It developed during the report Nhat
AIR Smiths services were secured for
t,scambia county from the federal gov
eminent, by the state board. as di-
rect result of the fine showing made
asst fall by the county at the state fair;
and that his salary has been paid from
FEDERAL funds Mr.. Smith stated to the
commissioners, however, that in spite
81 his earnest effort to trim his ex=
penditllres to the line of actual nee
sssities, so as to keep within the
bounds of the federal appropriation,
ne had been obliged to Ego in the hole"
as the saying is, to the extent of $50.
Commissioner Hardy made a ste te-
ment highly appreciative of the eff
cheney of the work done by Mr.. Smith
and hoped the papers would give it
generous publicity, and on Mr.. Hardy's
motion, a warrant was authorized for
$40 in Mr.. Smiths favor, County At:
torney Reese having given the opinion
that the board had the right to draw
the amount for such a purpose from
the general fund. and Mr.. Hardy ex-
pressing the opinion that Mr.. Smiths
work was the best $40 bargain the
county ever secured.
Mr.. Hardy was of the opinion that
the work done by Mr. Smith had gone
a long ways toward stimulating inter-
est in the county fair, and had fastened
preparations greatly for proper exhibits
az this years fair at Moline in Mo-
vember. In this connection the COM
missioner expressed the view that the
outlook for a successful fair is much
better than it was last year at this
time; and he felt certain that if all
the farmers would continu to plan to
have a good exhibit, and if the papers
would continue to keep the fair in the
minds of the people as thy have al
ready done, nothing but an act of
Providence could keep enc county from
saking first place at the next state
air and drawing some more valuable
lid from the federal government

what his future plans might be, Mr.

Messrs Barrineau of Quintette recent
ly. These prosperous farmers and
fruit growers, he said, had shipped
four car loads of fine home grown
peaches to northern markets a few
weeks ago, and had received consid-
cradle favorable newspaper publicity
for the achievement. He said he had
been told by w. c. Barrineau that they
had expected to get about $4,000 net
profit on the four cars, or about $500
a car, for their peaches, above all ship
ping expenses. The condition of the
northern market at the time of ship
ping justified that expectation, and the
fruit was received in the north in good
condition according to reports returned.
But instead of making $4,000, ship
pers had received for the fruit $500
less than enough to pay for the hamp-
ers and lumber, not a single cent of
compensation for the peaches, and
losers at that. Instead of taking
chances consigning to commission
merchants, who are said to have often
been found INSCRIPTIONS in their deal
ings with shippers, the Mssrs. Barri-
neau had taken the precaution to sly
through the Georgia Peach Growers
Association. This association is said
to have been organized for the very
purpose of protecting Georgia peach
growers against INSCRIPTIONS brokers
and commission men; and while it is
admitted that it was not intended pri-
marily 70 help Florida growers, the
Barrineaus solicited and secured the
services of the Georgia peach people.
and so are of the opinion that they
were commercially and morally en-
titled to a square deal.
w. 9. Barrineau stated to Mr.. Smith
that he would have been much better
off to have turned his hogs in on the
peaches, instead of gathering them at
all for human consumption. Mr. Smith
believes that this suggests as good
problem as the bushes clubs and mer-
chants of Pensacola could well find
to claim their earnest attention; for
he says that it is plainly to the inter-
est Of all the people here, all being
consumers, to help build up a good
market and thus stimulate home pro-,
duction.
Mr.. Smith made the interesting
statement that he has found the boil
WeeYll doing deadly work in Escambia
county,. and that he knows of one farm
err who is blowing under a thousand
acres of cotton because of the weeviIs
and planting Spanish peanuts instead
