HE Secretary of Agriculture, Mr..
Meredith, in his annual report to
Congress, remarks:
Durum wheat, introduced in 1899
IN Rus la, now produces a crop
Forth $50,OO0,OO0 annually Egyptian
cotton, brought by the scientists of
the department in 1901, has become
the basis of the long-staple cotton in
dustry in the Southwest, valued at
-. $20,000,000 in 1919.
The federal government has done and
still is doing much to encourage the agri-
cultural development Of the country. What
Secretary Meredith says about durum wheat
and Egyptian cotton is evidence of only
small fraction of governmental enter
prise in securing the world for plant seeds
that will contribute to the prosperity Of
the nation.
AS the New York Evening Post well
remarks, sit was government search in
Northern Europe and Siberia that gave us
alfalfa which would resist drought to
which the alfalfa originally brought from
Latin lands easily succumbed. 1t was the
government that gave us in 1899 the
Peruvian alfalfa, which has conquered the
Southwest as the best variety. The hard
durum or macaroni wheat of which Secre-
tary Meredith speaks was so exactly suited
to the Northwest that in five years 10 ,000,-
900 bushels werel being grown. Semi-arid
regions from Dakota to New Mexico count
their yearly profits from Kaffir corn, in
troduced from South Africa, in millions.
Soy beans reached the United States from
China without government help. But it
was the government which increased the
available varieties from a nalf dozen to a
thousand and selected the seven or eight
that are most productive.
The development of the agricultural
resources of America. through the re-
search and activity of the Department of
Agriculture, reads like a romance. The
rice industries of Louisiana and Texas owe
their fast-growing crops to the government.
Sudan grass was brought from Egypt about
eleven years ago, and today it's yield is
worth ten million dollars to American farm
ers. Rhodes grass is known from the Mis-
sissippi to the Pacific, yet it hasn't been many
years since the government introduced it in
America from Cecil Rhodes Grote Schuur
farm, in South Africa.
Many varieties of fruits were found in
foreign countries, introduced and popular
lied in America. California and Arizona
are indebted to the government for the lu-
crative date industry that flourishes in those
states. Indeed, it is stated that the gov
eminent has given to the farmers of the
United States more than $4,000 new varie-
ties of plants.
But the activity of the government in
aiding agriculture does not stop with the
importation of foreign plants. The Bureau
of Plant Industry, at Washington, and the
various experiment stations supported by
State and Nation, work increasingly in the
improvement of domestic plants.
The government has indeed accom-
plished wonders, and we are persuaded that
the federal Department of Agriculture will
accomplish much more as the succeeding
years roll by if it is given the support it
SO richly deserves from Congress.

THE HAPPY FAMILY
By DR.. Frank Crane


This family has very tall, thick, unmbrag-
eous and old tree.
The ancestral line runs so far back that
''the memory of man runneth net to the con-
trary."
Its oldest authenticated progenitor was old
man Good Health.
Another distinguished name among its an
cestors is Youth. Youth is not recent cpl
sode; it is the oldest thing in the world.
The Fathers name is Love.
The Mothers Temperance.
Among the Aunts and Uncles are D1sc1p-
line, Common Sense, Unself, Humility, and
Faith.
The chief enemy of this family, the one
who does most to injure it, is a man named
Envy.
He has lot Of spies, bullies, and hired
mischief-workers, who assist Linn in doing
every possible thing to disrupt the Happys.
Among these are Suspicion, Hate, Grudge,
Crouch, Worry and Despair.
Sometimes one of the rascals gets job
as servant in the Happy family, and makes
use of his position to do all the damage he
can.
One of the sturdiest and handsomest of
the Happy children is Work. He does per-
haps more than any to keep the family pros
porous, and is looked up to and respected by
all it's members.
The family has its fmitators They are
frauds, and have deceived and ruined many
who have put it: in them.
Among these humbugs and cheats are AL
cohol Drugs, Excess, Luxury, Glutton, and
Lust.
One Of the most charming and beloved
members of the Happy family is Loyalty. Ev-
erybody, even the crooked and perverse,
seems to love her.
The family home is very attractive house
on Main street.
It's foundations were placed deep on the
bed rock of Honesty.
It's builder and architect was Simplicity.
It's furnishings were by Good Taste.
All it's expenditures are looked after, and
it's accounts kept. by Thrift, with the able
assistance of Budget.
Discretion GUARDS the door.
There Is but one Rule in this house; it is
the Golden Rule.
Gent1eness and Cheerfulness are always at
home, and, with Courtesy and thoughtful
ness, invariably make all visitors welcome.
The rats of Waste are kept away by the
cat whose name is Carefulness.
The butler has orders never to admit Spec
ulators when he calls.
The family doctors name is Science
Light and Air are present all day, and at
night the lamps are lit by Hope
The family hav a proper self-respect, and
are intimate with no one on friendly terms
with and vouched for by Love and Temper
ance.
There is good Priest whose visits are
welcome and whose advice Is followed; his
name is Conscience.

The Industrial Tour

IT. HE industrial tour of Georgia, under
the auspices of Georgia Tech, next
- month"; is arousing throughout the
state measure of interest commensurate
with the motives that have inspired its ar
rangement. Each of the thirty-fOur cities and
towns that is to be visited by the tourists dur
ing the week is appreciative keenly of the
opportunity hat is thus to be offered for pre-
senting it's resources and advantages for de-
velopment.
sThese tourists will visit Americas on the
second day of this second Industrial tour" re-
marks the Americas Times-Recorder They
will spend more than two hours here. OF
course they will be more than welcome. Sum-
ter county has much to show them
more than it will be possible for them to see
in the limited time they will spend here. But
they can depend upon it that the best use
will be made of their time spent here, and
they will not have reason to regret their COM
ing"
1t is to be regretted that the tourists will
have relatively so little time at Americus and
other cities and towns that are to be visited.
AS the Times-Recorder remarks, Sumter
county has more to show than possibly can
be seen even hurriedly in so short stay as
the tourists will spend in Americas. The
same is true of every place to be visited
on the tour but even so the trip will enable
the excursionists to get first hand impressions
that will prove invaluable and unerring in
assisting them in the intelligent industrial de-
velopment of Georgia.

impractlcable, wrong in principle and based
on narrow and imperfect conception of the
Christian religion. It would do far more to
drive religion out o. the hearts of the people
than to draw them toward it.
eve have no right to compel religious OBJ
servance of Sunday by law. The law should
forbid all unnecessary business on Sunday,
and thus, as far as possible, secure to all their
right to Sunday IS day of freedom from
their ordinary occupations and of religious OBJ
servance if they wish to use it. Further
than this, the law may not rightly co.
The Right Rev. Charles S. Burch, bishop
Of New York is alst firmly opposed to forcing
Sunday blue laws upon the people. He says:
Il do not believe that the people of this coun-
try are going b 4ck to the New England blue
laws. If what little I have seen is correct
the eformers are going pretty far. I do not
believe we going to have such revolu-
tion as would occur if we prohibit Interstate
commerce on Sunday. You cannot legislate
people into moral or ethical positions. You
can educate them to it. but you cannot
achieve moralit. by compelling them to give
up what they believe are their constitutional
rights
Even more interesting than the views of
the clergy are tn views of the people now
pouring into the offices Of New York newspa-
pers, some Of which are printing them in
their columns. Unfortunately, we have MT
the space to set down the opinions of the peo-
pie here. But suffice it to say that they are
surprisingly serious and hostile to all re-
formers. They show conclusively that the
Sunless Sunday will not be accepted with the
same good-natured resignation that ushered
in the Eighteenth amendment"

LISTEN
BY H. Addington Bruce

xyOU are inclined to pride yourself on
7 your conversational ability.
- In fact you frankly pride yourself
on it. You rejoice to know that you are a
good talker
No matter in what company you find your
SELF you are not at a loss for words. You
do not have to sit dumbly silent, like many
other young fellows of your acquaintance.
Let any topic be brought up, and you prompt
ly find something to say about it.
Yet, oddly enough, easy converser though
you are, you have to confess that you are
not making as rapid Roadway in your chosen
business as you would, Hike. Which is doubly
odd since your business is that Of salesman
ship, wherein ability to talk readily is an &C
knowledged asset.
Perhaps, friend, the trouble is that you
talk too readily. That is to say, you may be
one of those numerous persons whose huency
in talk is more conspicuous than the extent
and soundness of their knowledge Of the
things about which they talk.
In that case your conversational facility
is sure to be a ability rather than an asset
to you. For the more you talk the less fav-
orable will be the impression you make oA
those to whom you talk, conversation being
always the index to ones thoughts.
Just by way Of an experiment, make 1t
point for the next few days to talk no more
than is absolutel5 necessary and to listen
hard while others talk.
Ability to listen well-as you perhaps have
forgotten---is even more important to bust
ness success than ability to talk we'll. For
the matter of that, efficient talking presup-
poses efficient listening. Otherwise the raw
material of the mind must ever remain scan
ty, incongruous, and unavoidable.
What others say in your presence can give
you food for t 'ught only if you listen to
them.
1t can save you from errors only If you
listen
And the defect of most over-ready takers
is that they a. sadly short in the listening
faculty
It may not be true that, as an old proverb
cruelty insists, the shallowest persons are the
most loquacious. But 1t certainly Is true that
when a man is loquacious he is prone to pay
little heed to the often helpful ideas voiced
in his hearing.
You know better than do whether you
are as facile in listening as in talking. If
you are not. begin forthwith cultivate the
listening habit. You will find it pays.

Mr.. Burleson.
"For reasons that can be readily under

these suggestions made by the Postmaster
General, and hence is directly responsible for
the deficit which inevitably followed the in
defensible action says Mr.. Burleson.
AS Mr.. Burleson remarks no difficulty is
experienced at arriving at the reasons OF
Congress for authorizing the war bonus to
postal employees. But they were not indie
fensble
The bonus undoubtedly added few million
dollars to the cost of operating the service

Congress authorized the bonus as matter

There is no occasion for alarm over def

Needless Destruction by Fire

the ~emarks of Mr.. T. Alfred Fleming
before the convention of fire marshals
in New York City last week. In it's outlines,
Mr.. Flemings story is familiar but his reci-
tation of details cannot fail to emphasize not
only the enormous waste and loss in the Unit
ed States from preventable fires. but also the
Importance of continuous campaign OF edu-
cation designed to reduce these losses.
Generally speaking, there is nothing new
in Mr.. Fleming's statement as to the magni-
tude of the fire losses, but relatively few
persons realize that in 1919 fire caused the
deaths of 1929 persons and was accountable
for the injury of 1854 others, of whom
eighty-two per cent were mothers and chill
dren under school age.
The property losses from fire, together with
the cost of maintenance of fire departments
and high pressure water service, cost the peo-
pie more than 100000 day according to
Mr.. Fleming, but this is insignificant as COM
pared to the loss of human life.
Mr.. Fleming declared that homes are be-
ing destroyed in America at the rate OF $50
for every working day of the year. The fig
ures become the more impressive when we
stop to consider the serious housing problem
that confronts practically every community
in the country. 1t is estimated that there is
a shortage of So 700 homes which means
that probably 25,000.O00 people. nearly 25
per cent of the population, is living in tenn
porary quarters with attendant evils and in
cOnven1enceS.
1t is to be regretted that Mr.. Fleming's re-
marks cannot be brought Immediately to the
attention Of every person in the country. IF
everyone could be made to realize the ruth
with respect to preventable fires. we feel sure
there would follow era of caution that
would materially reduce the number Of such
losses. Experience has shown that the best
way to bring facts home to the people is by
constant repetition, and by this token it is to
be hoped that Mr.. Fleming's remarks are
given the publicity they deserve.
Mr.. Fleming told the fire marsha1s that eff
forts are now being made to secure the CO.
operation of various interested agencies in a
campaign of education among children in the
schools, women in the homes and men in
places of business, to impress upon them the
Importance of precaution. He declared that
Investigation has shown that sixty-fve per
cent of the fires originate in dwellings, most
Of them from pregentable and trivial causes

Ideal Climate and Fertile Soil

With Georgia's fertile soil and mild climate

Daniel Boone

That Daniel Boone, famed Kentucky
hunter, made an expedition into Wayne and
Lincoln counties, West Virginia, during
his career is the belief of party of lum-
berjacks, who recently discovered the name
I'D. Boone chiseled in a large rock at the
mouth of a cave on Pond Fork Of Four
Mile creek, Lincoln county, near the Wayne
line. The forms of the letter are said to
correspond with the name of Boone, which
is found carved in the rocks of Kentucky.
The rock bearing the name in Lincoln
county is located in remote and wild Sec
ton.
