SESSION
OF METHODISTS

Memphis. Tenn, February d
That there shall be no let up in
pushing the Centenary Of Missions
campaign, which for more than
two years has claimed the attention
of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, was the determination ex-
pressed at the closing session of a
church wide conference on world
program and missionary advance
held iii Memphis, Tenn, January
81 to February 2.
This assemblage, said to be the
most notable in the history Of the
church, brought together more
than 400 Methodist leaders, includ-
ing the members Of The college of
bishops, 800 presiding elders, twen-
ty editors of church publications,
missionaries from home and for-
elgn fields, prominent laymen and
church officials, for the purpose of
reviewing the achievements of the
Centenary movement and perfect
ing plans for its final and complete
su Ccess.
The presiding elders were charg-
ed with the task of interpreting
the message of the conference to
the local church, and they enthusi-
astically pledged themselves TO
keep alive the great principles Of
the Centenary and stir the enthu-
siasm of the 1000 pastors to can
vass the membership of the $4,000
congregations of Southern Method
ism for the collection of-unpaid
Centenary pledges now due.
1t was shown that sixty per cent
of the entire amount subscribed is
now due and that the work of col
lection must proceed with renewed
vigor if the enlarged missionary
program, made possible by the sub
scription of more than $35, 100000,
is to attain completion.
March 26 was designated as
"World Sunday" when through
out Southern Methodist territory
the mind of the church Will be re-
freshed and instructed concerning
the Missionary Centenary, and
prompt payment of pledges win be
urged.
March 26 to April 2 was named
as time for an intensive campaign
in the interest of Centenary collec-
tions when every member of the
Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, in arreages to this cause
shall be solicited by local commit
tees for some payment on this
pledge. This period of special en-
deavor, it is said, will be conducted
along the lines of the original Gen.
tenary campaign, utilizing the four
minute speakers and other agencies
which contributed to the success
of that movement.

SOME FACTS
AND FIGURES

The following figures were sub
mitted in the Senate recently when
the Packers Regulation Bill came
up for consideration:
A farmer feeds a hog Il bushels
of corn TO make 100 pounds of
pork, but he pays i bushels of
corn for l pound of bacon.
For five pounds of wool, enough
to make a genuine" all-wool snit,
farmer is now glad to get ST., but
TO buy such a suit of clothes cost
him 500 pounds of wooE
Last year good pair Of shoes
could be bought, with one cowhide,
Today it take FIVE cow hides to get
the shoes.
To buy his wife a pair of $40
shoes a Kansas farmer recently
sold 25 bushels of corn for $3.50
and big COW hide for SO. Then
he had to pay 80 cents to boot 10
close the transaction.
IL on parity with the present
prices of corn, Mr.. Rockefeller
would sell gasoline for s cents a
gallon instead Of "a, the coal trust
would sell ton Of coal for So in
stead of $13, the clothier $50 suit
Of clothes for SIS, the shoe dealer
a $40 shoe for SO, the halter IS
hat for 50. and the Washington
market man would sell bacon at
prewar prices instead of at post
war prices, and American agricul-
ture would not today be in need of
the credit pulmotor. Corn should
be and is worth more il these
things are worth what is asked for
them.
Last year when corn was $3.50 a
bushel a farmer could get 5 gallons
of gasoline for a single bushel.
Today, at the farm price, that BUSH
ell of corn only buys little less
than 2 gallons Of gasoline.
Last year 6 bushels of corn would
buy ton Of soft coal. Today that
ton of coal costs 35 bushels of corn
Last year 40 bushels of corn
would purchase q $50 suit of
clothes. Today it would take 125
bushels of corn to buy that suit.
Yet had clothing been reduced in
price proportionately with corn,
$50 suits of clothes would not take
36 bushels.
Last year a bushel of corn would
bnyy . ponnds CT coffee. i0day it
will buy only little more than q
pound.
Last year q bushels of corn
would purchase 48-pound sack of
-four. Today it takes 81 bushels.
And SO it goes, up and down
the line. Whether prices rise of
fall, the farmer gets the worst or
it.
What is going to profit us to keep
knocking the farmer down? How
are We going to be clothed and fed
when we finally have knocked him
out completely?

WOMEN LEAVING FARMS
 NOW OUTNUMBER MEN

WASHINGTON, D. C., December IS Larger numbers of women than men are leaving the farms in search of more lucrative fields of endeavor, the census bureau says, passing it's state ment on an analysis of the 1920 cen sus statistics.
 Of the number of farm dwellers, to- taling 1,614,269, males number 16, 496,- 33S and females 16,117,931. Of the to- tai farm population 49.5 per cent was 21 years and over, 24,7 per cent be- tween 10 and twenty years and 25.7 under ten years. Those 21 years and over comprised 57.6 per cent of the total population. The farm population therefore includes relatively large proportion of persons under q years and relatively small proportion 21 years and over.
 "The difference in age distribution is declared by the census bureau to be due in large part to the fact that the majority of persons who leave the farm to take up their residence else where have reached or passed 21. The largest proportion of the children and youth in the farm population are shown for the southern states and the lowest for the New England states, New York, New Jersey, and California
