,NTaREsrINo FARM FIGURES.

Agricultural statistics issued by the
census bureau from ten counties, taken
al random, furnish some interesting
figures on the trend and development Oh
farming methods In Tennessee. IN
nearly every one Of the ten. there 10 an
increase In corn production. the aggre-
gate figures standing at 6,SlS'SeA pusn-
ala for the year 1919 rs against b,o4l'-
250 for 1909. The growth Of wheat shows
a corresponding loss, the crop OF 1917
IN eight Of the ten counties, being given
as $685. $40 bushels 40 compared with
a07.pe4 bushels for the same counties
in 1902
While wheat production has fallen
on in the ten-year period, however, hay
has increased along with corn, u
doubtless having been substituted, IN
large measure for wheat, In the crop ro-
tation. The hay crop in the ten coun-
tien for 1918 IL placed at 10S,B77 tons as
against 1925 for 1909. As might be
inferred. the number OF food producing
livestock on the farms shows q sub
atantiai increase. There were reported
raj. 7s4 head OF cattle IN the ten coun-
tias on Jan, /, 1920. az compared with
Nj g0E on April Is, 1910. Hogs, 1bS,Olb In
1870 10 124,706 In 1910.
The ten counties from which these
figures were taken are Meigs. Claiborne
scott, Cooke, Trousdale. Putnam over
Ion. rutherford. Perry and Lake. These
arb probably hardly up to the average OF
T6nnessee counties. but are douptess
representative OF all. A healthy m
orkhss in farm production Is indicated,
perhans greater than the increase IN
panulstion. Moreover. a tendency TO-
ward greater conformity to modern
methods IL shown in that more OF the
crops are fed on the farms instead o.
being shipped away in the form OIL
grain.
The counties under consideration pro-
dure other crops. Of course. sucn ~
oots. tobacco ana peanuts. but THESE
ara not common to all Of the ten our
compilation has only concerned tseh
with q few staples. The figures are en-
couraging. There Is ono Disappointing

I COOPERATIVE NENTERPRIsEs
An interesting Industrial develops
ment 10 10 be inaugurated by the Ladies'
Garment Workers union, OF New York.
The enterprise contemplates nothing
lesB than the establishment OF CO.
operative factories for the manufacture
OF garments and OF cooperative stores
to dispose OF them. BY this innovation,
they claim that they can maintain their
own earnings, lower prices 70 consumers
and reduce their working hours to
seven. In theory this seems plausible
since II will shorten the route OF the
product from the producer to the con-
sumer with possibilities OF eliminating
two or three profits along the way. In
commenting on the new scheme the
New York Evening World says, among
other things:
THE garment workers have been
classed as one of the more radical OF
the regular trade union organizations.
This development win hardly bear out
the claim. 1t is essentially 'capitalistic'
little as the garment workers may
like tho torn.
'If the workers are able TO reduce
their hours from eight to seven as the
result OF such scheme, then that hour
gained will represent capitals share on
the capital and initiative the workers
put into the business.
I'm return the workers must share
the risks OF the business.
Whenever workers are willing to as
sumo these risks on a co cooperative basis
there Is every reason for the public to
patronize and encourage such expert
ments."
rrharA ara aavnraI Annwn,..lo Iasgnns u.
be drawn from such cooperative I'M
dcrtakings as those indicated above.
For one thing, II ought to give the
worker an accurate appraisal OF his own
services. It ought also to demonstrate
whether the capital invested In indus
try 10 taking more than its share of
tho resulting production, which workers
so often ASSERT Is the case. We all re-
member how II was commended that the
increase OF pay to coal miners need not
increase the price TO consumers, and
how It is now declared that railroads
can pay the new schedule OF wages
without increasing rates.
We are also reminded that not long
since some of the railroad brotherhoods
began the establishment--or rather the
purchase--of manufactures of several
lines Of the clothing used by them.
Our recollection is that this experiment
Ii apparently successful--that the work.
ers are getting their clothing cheaper,
paying the union scale to their employees
and realizing profit on their enter
prise. As suggested by the World, their
experiment Ia purely capitalistic and
they are said to have employed the best
managerial talent they could get. They
nfe also credited with a purpose of en-
tcring the banking business.
1t is sometimes difficult to determine
tho merits Of antagonistic contentious in
Industrial disputes. Strikes may---and
perhaps do-result from a misunder-
standing Of the situation. But there
ought to be n means Of making a sort
Of laboratory test without the Interrupt
tlon and loss incident to a strike.
There ought to be a peaceable method
of assuring to each element its equit-
able earnings. Perhaps the enterprises
discussed in this artfclt will furnish
such facilities.
