PECULIAR SIGNIFICANCE

1t Is very significant that Democrat
Senator Smith. 'ot Georgia. should get
the notion into his head to RECOMMEND
the the reduction OF the presidential
salary from $4,000 to $4,000. Smith
introduced a bill with this proviso in
the senate.
1t would be interesting to learn what
induced him to introduce the bill
Should II DO possible that nc thought
the president was not worth his present
salary? Or did nc want 10 counteract
with a vengeance. the recent decision OF
the supreme court that the salary is mol
subject to taxation? or did nc fear
that on account OF the record OF the
present administration the people would
put Republican into the presidential
chair TO whom as such ne begrudgct
the larger salary? Whatever the mo
tive may be. it is peculiar that the move
was made by a Democrat. His party
associates must be very disappointed ir

TOBACCO GROWERS
Protect PRODUCT

That there will be no tobacco sold
and but little upon which money will
be advanced before the official period
for selling, is the theory of many pro-
ducers i'm this part of the state. Here
tofore it has been the custom of ma
ny, it is claimed, to move their pro-
duct to the warehouse where money
would be drawn upon it. The fact
that this will not be extensively done
this season is indicative of the good
financial condition of many of the
growers. Of more than a dozen ask
ed regarding this matter, all stated
there would be little tobacco moving
for some time, and that most of the
producers were able to hold their pro-
duct until the proper time for selling
and leave the crop unincumbered. The
condition in Madison county relative
to finance is said to be about the best
in the state. There were high wages
paid, however, during the planting
season, but all seem able to hold their
crops until they desire to sell. Many
claim they will haul their product to
the market offering the best price.

BIG DEMAND FOR
HORSES AND MULES
Predicted That Start fEas Eee7,
Made Fer Gaining All Horse
Power Rossihie

DIR. William ID. Pryor, veterin-
arian. who has been giving the
tmatter of horse and mule power
considerable attention for several
years, predicts n greater price per
head for these animals than has
ever been realized heretofore. The
wars have drayNU every available
bit OF horse power from this and
other countries, he claims. and
there will be an unprecedented
demand for both horses and mules
which is already in evidence. and
his advice to farmers is to raise
horses and mules of n good caiz
ibre.
"Germany,~ as we'll as other
countries" DIR. Pryor says. cal
ready has representative agents
here seeking horses and mules to
replenish their armies, as we'll as
to assist the farmers, may of
whom are using ordinary milk
cows for blowing purposes. There
are agents Of several foreign
countries here to buy all horses
that are to be found, and the con-
ditions will be more pronounced
as time goes on, for the return to
agricultural pursuits will bring
about a demand that will require
everything in the way of horse.
"You would be surprised at
stock being bought at big sales
for foreign service" said the vet
erinarian, speaking of 4 recent
trip to the horse sales i'll St. Louis.
"They are buying everything they
can find, and You would be STIR
prised at the car load after car
load booked out to foreign coun-
tries. They are bringing fair
prices. so what would a good
horse or mule bring? The demand
will become greater and I predict
the greatest demand in the his
tory Of the world within q year or
two. The gasoline and more mod
ern equipped farm paraphernalia
will not become extensive there
for years to come. and this is an
other reason the demand for
horses and mules will continue to
be great. / would advocate the
raising of horses by the wholesale
since mule colts can be bought
now for n moderate price and feed
is cheaper. and there will be an
other drop. I believe. and this
would admit of the maintenance
of stock and it is my opinion there
could not be more productive
occupation at present with brigh-
ter prospects than the raising of
horses and mules. There are
good grazing lands here and III
country is we'll adapted for it.
The demand will be found in the
price later on. and the man with a
number Of horses and mules will
be the one that will get the mon

New Farm Manager

Owing to his extensive class
work, Prof. Cox, who has had
charge of the Eastern Normal
farm work, has been relieved of
this responsibility and it will be
undertaken by Prof. Carter, who
will take up the task and have
charge during the coming year.
There are bright prospects, owing
to the large number of students
interested in the agricultural de-
partment and the added facilities
of the school for instruction and
demonstration work.
