FEW ALIEN FARMERS IN THE
SOUTH

Foreign-born farmers are must nu-
merous in the North Central States.
although there are considerable num-
bers in the Pacific States, and a rela-
lively high proportion of the total
numbers of farmers in some of the
Eastern States are foreign-born
farmers in the South, except in
Texas.
The countries showing increases in
foreign born farmers in the United
States between 1910 and 1920 were
Poland, with an increase of 1O,124. or
! 4O.1 per cent; Hungary, with an
increase of 1926, or SCI per cent. :
Italy, with 7,647, or 72 per cent. ;
Russia, with $685., or 25.6 per cent. :
and Holland with 1894, or 10 per
cent, says the World Almanac in
one of its census summaries.
The largest relative decreases were
as follows: Ireland, sos per cent. :
Wales, 1877 per cent; Germany. 36. 6
per cent; England, 33 per cent, and
Scotland, 25.6 per cent.

CHECKING IMMIGRATION

Whatever may be thought of the
immigration restriction law as a mat
ter of public policy or private hard
ship, it must be acknowledged that
1t has been effective. The number
of immigrants who would have come
to the United States during the year
ending July 1 amounts to about l.
900, 900. The new law can be credited
with the exclusion of 100000 aliens
during the last year as the number
actually admitted has been about
100000.
Under this law, the number of i'm
migrants admitted during one wear
from any country is limited to 8 per
cent of the total number previously
admitted from that country, as ascer-
tanned by the census. The quotas of
" countries have been exhausted. ac
cordlng to the records of the Depart
ment of labor. AS the end of the
year approached the number of al
lens held up at Ellis Island increased
IN number, on account of the exhaus-
ton of the quota of one
country after another. Every
foreigner who is barred by minor Of
Meals at a port of entry has the
right of appeal to the Secretary of
Labor, who is required by law to
make a decision in each case. No
other official decision, not even the
commissioner general of immigra-
ton, can make final decision. The
cases, numbering thousands every
month, caused jam at Ellis Island.
where thousands of persons were
packed in close quarters while the
Secretary of Labor and his assistant
spent days and nights passing upon
the appeals for admission.
On July l the gates will be open
again to immigrants from all coun-
tries, and under the per cent law a
fresh quota will be available. For
SIX months or more immigrants from
many countries have been barred. The
tremendous rush that will follow the
renewal of admissions and the dis
comfort and crowding at immigrant
stations may be imagined. An unpre-
cedented rush for entry into the
United States is expected, an it will
continue until the filling of quotas
will shut the bars down to one conn
try after another.

COOPERATIVE FARM MARKET
ING

In Minnesota, 1914 farms of 43 g
per cent. of all farms in the State, re-
ported cooperative marketing of
farm products in 1919. Both coop
erative elevators and cooperative
lcreameries are numerous in this
state.
Sales through farmers marketing
organizations in the United States in
1919 amounted to 1921 1888, 500, or
an average of 81 ALP for each farm
reporting. The most important pro-
ducts marketed in this way were
grain, milk, and cream, fruit and
truck crops, according to the World
Almanac's census summary.
The number of farms in the Unit
ed States reporting cooperative pur-
dhaang .of farm supplies through
farmers organizations in 1919 was
329, 449, or 81 per cent of all the
farms. In six States, cooperative
purchasing of farm supplies was re-
ported by over 10000 farms, as fol-
lows: Iowa, $3.50; Kansas, 1891 !:
Minnesota, 29,611; Nebraska, 1885 !;
Wisconsin, 21,792, and Ohio, 21, 25O.
Important items purchased COOP
eratively were fertilizer, feed, binder
Irvine, spraying materials, coal, crates
boxes, etc.

KU KLUX KHAN MAKES DONA-
TON TO ELIZABETH CHURCH

The Sunday School of the Eliza
beth Methodist church has made rap
lid strides forwards. Last Sunday
the largest congregation that the
school has ever had was present. The
church was also crowded at both the
morning and evening services.
At the evening services five mem
bers of the Ku Klux Khan, in the
paraphernelia of the order, walked
down the aisle and gave the pastor
an envelope with SLIPS incIosed
then they filed out as quietly as they
had come.
Next Sunday both services will be
in charge Of Rev. w. B. Reeves, while
the regular pastor is conducting a re-
vival at Tilman's Chapel, near Smyr-
ma. The revival will start next Sat
urday and last for week, the hours
of the services will be 1890 in the
morning and 500 in the evening.

LEARNING LANGUAGES AT
HOME WITHOUT TEACHERS

An interesting statement has been
issued by the Berlitz School of Lam
guages, which has hundreds of schools
in all parts of the World. While this
educational institution clings to it's
text that the best way. to learn to
speak and to be understood in a for
eign language or to understand it
when it is spoken by foreigners, is to
take course of lessons through per-
sonal instruction from experienced
native teachers, who use and make
you speak their language only, with
Iout word of English,yet it is held
to be entirely feasible and practical
Ito learn foreign language by CORE
Ispondence courses.
For many years the skeptical have
read alluring advertisements about
learning languages by correspond
ence, but most people have agreed
with Pats observation that 81 have
me doubts.i This viewpoint must
undergo a change of view of the
statement by the Berlitz people, who
have. been the worlds greatest au-
liberties on languages for nearly half
"a century. The statement issued by
the school at Washington says: eve
will supply textbooks containing in
English al necessary grammatical
and idiomatic explanations, and hav-
ing the pronunciation indicated by
equivalent English sounds; we will
also give during twelve months, by
mail, explanations of all difficulties
the student may encounter during
studies or when writing exercises
in case the keys do not suffice for
the purpose. The new department will
thus take the place of a teacher as
much as possible" In addition to
the above positive statement is ad-
ed that the new method of instruc-
ton has finally been adopted by the
Berlitz schools after the question of
its feasibility has been tried out and
proved to be corrected.

TALKS TURKEY" ABOUT
THE COAL SITUATION

George Otis Smith, director of the
United States Geological Survey,
whose data on the coal industry has
been the guide for government of
ficials handling the situation, declares
that there is ''going to be a tremen-
dous shortage in COAL" and that be
believes "many householders will
burn coke this winter"
Director Smith says further: The
situation is acute, and one can see
it along the Atlantic seaboard from
Boston to Washington. The tracks
are practically empty of coal cars.
The coal reserves are down probably
to 30,000,000 tons, or enough to last
from seven to ten weeks more.
What coal producers and coal con-
sumers alike need is reform of the
coal business rather than compromise
between parties to the controversy"
says Director Smith. ''In this reform
it is absolutely essential that the
mine workers should cooperate with
the mine operator. Too long have
the mine owners treated the coal
business as private privilege, and too
long have the labor leaders, with no
less monopolistic attitude, DISTRACTED
every move for underground efficien-
cy and economy.
"The peoples coal costs too much
because of the mistaken idea that
mine owner and mine worker can
continue to fight over contracts and
rules. Cheaper coal and larger earn
ings will come when engineering is
emphasized more and bargaining less. "

Funds for 1922, however, must be
spread over twtlve months, although
revenues are decreased and interest
charges, also uncompleted 1921. work
must be paid from them.
The effect is shown in numerous
ways and particularly in the main
tenance fund. Maintenance forces
began operations about June last
year with $2,225, 900 to use, the law
fixing the amount at 40 per cent of
the annual motor vehicle tax revenue
after $15O,000 is deducted for adj
ministration. This year spring break
up and other early operations will
take about 100000 and the main
tenance fund balance on June 1 will
not exceed $1,SO0,0OO it was officially
announced.
Parallel comparisons based on Of
fetal highway figures disclose that
less than So will be available for ac-
tual trunk highway work this year
against SIS last year and the reduc-
ton will offset more than twice the
drop in prices. The figures were an
nounced following conferences to
work out every possible economy and
spread the maximum benefits, high
way officials asserted, and the state
will get the biggest gain to be had

which could be hoped for.

Joined Mr.. Babcock in expressing
satisfaction that the 1922 program has

in road building costs. The highway

always striving for and taking
pride in creditable results under the
new plan, the highway department
naturally regrets that it is obliged to
rather curtail operations instead of
speeding the program under, the most
favorable conditions now existing"
said Mr.. Babcock. "Good business
judgment ordinarily would call for
enlargement and expansion this sea-
son. Savings possible under present
costs would more than offset interest
charges on borrowed money, and the
public would gain also by getting the
use of the improved roads for longer
