The Way To Success.

The idea advanced by DR.. H. A.
Morgan, president Of the University
of Tennessee, Of q program for the
readjustment Of agricultural condi-
tions based on regional, rather than
national distribution of products, may
lead to the solution of some of the
problems Of the farmers of the south.
He refers to high freight rates as
a barrier to wide distribution and
calls attention to the facts that the
south has not met its obligations in
the production of meats and other
food essentials for home consump-
tion, and to the construction Of mod
en highways which will tend to
facilitate regional distribution and the
development Of home markets for
home grown beef, dairy products,
poultry, hay, corn and other things
that the south should raise for its
own use.
There can be no question about
the importance of raising on the
farm nearly everything the farmer
requires, with a surplus for nearby
markets, where freight rates viii not
be burdensome to the producer and
where money will be put in local
circulation to stimulate business and
supply the needs of all classes OF
workers; and, as for a change to
regional systems of distribution pro.
viding a way for the adjustment Of
present inequalities, the trend is un.
doubtedly in that direction. A change
may come IN the system of distribut-
ing farm products before the farmers
in the south are prepared to take
full advantage of it. The important
thing before us Just now is to adopt
the slogan suggested by DR.. Morgan
, for the Southern Cattlemen's Asso-
citation: "Home Production of Live.
! STOCK" with this addition for general
farmers: "and everything else requir-
ed to enable the farmer to live al
home"
The one-crop system may be profit
able on large plantations, but even
on such big farms money is lost dur
ing periods of deflation in prices fol
the crops produced, because supplies
must be. purchased, with profits Of
producers, shippers and transporta.
ton companies added to the cost
But, on small farms of the south, the
raising of livestock and the diversi-
ication of crops along with improved
methods of soil improvement and con-
servation is the only system that will
pay.
Let's lime our lands, raise clover
and other legumes, raise livestock
drive farm products to the market
on foot and return fertility in the
form of manure, to the soils Of fields

CARE OF BABY CHICKS.
tggestions Regarding Natural and
Artificial Brooding.

The season is at hand when we
ust give careful attention to the
aby chicks. Whether we buy them
eStA hatch them ourselves, The baby
ch4eks must be vigorous, active, strong
on their feet, and must have high
vitality, says N. R. Mehrhof, Exten-
sion Poultry Specialist. If the chicks
come from good stock they will have
these qualities. Only from such
chicks can we expect to get heavy
egg-production and good breeding
stock for the future. Proper manage
ment of good young stock calls for
attention to housing, feeding and san
itation.
Natural Brooding.-f the mother
ben is going to bring up the chicks,
one does not have to worry much
over brooding conditions, but it is
necessary that there be good clean
coop, that the mother hen herself be
clean and free from lice and that
Tie chicks be locked up at night as
protection from rats and other enc
mics.
Artificial Brooding.-f large num-
bers are to be Matched and brooded
it is advisable and practically neces-
ssry to use artificial brooding. With
this method the brooder is the first
real home of the baby chicks, and
suitable conditions are very essential,
since during the first three weeks
environment is OF the greatest i'm
rortanee.
Success and economy in growing
baby chicks are determined largely
by (1) careful operation of brooder,
(2) methods of feeding. The gener-
al principles of artificial brooding are
practically the same whether for
large or small brooders. The prin-
cipal functions of the brooder is to
supply heat and the ideal brooder
SUPPLIES the proper degree OF tem-
perature but is SC constructed that
the baby chicks can fin1 any tenn
perature they desire. Beneath the
hover the temperature for the first
few days should be approximately
100 degrees Fahrenheit. The baby
chicks should be closely confined
under the hover of the brooder for
the first Gay or two. This can be
accomplished by using circle of one
inch mesh poultry wire 8 inches high
about two feet from the other edge
OF the hover proper. After the Sec
ond or third day this wire may be
removed and the chicks allowed the
run of the entire house, but towards
hight each day this wire should be
used again until the chicks learn to

POLICIES AND WEAPONS.

The submarine, when used a. a
commerce destroyer is, as the British
delegation has claimed in Washing
ton, a weapon OF aggression; but 1t is
aggressive in the same sense and only
in the same sense that the blockade is
aggressive. II IS susceptible OF being
used by an aggressive military nation
as a dangerous and efficient weapon
of attack. For that reason the New
Republic would like 10 see 1t abolished,
Just as we would like TO see the CAPT
tai ship abolished.
The fewer weapons there are OF this
kind in existence, the less likely ma
tons will be to yield to bellicose feel
ings or aggressive ambitions. But the
world Will not get rid of aggressive
weapons by forbidding nations to use
them in the most militarily efficient
manner. In the last analysis aggres-
sion is a matter of policy rather than
OF armament. What the nations need
is a generA self-denying ordinance
against aggressive political policies
not against aggressive military and
naval weapons-New Republic.

GERMAN PREPARATIONS.

We must turn our attention princl-
pally TO purifying the world atmos-
phere which has been poisoned by adj
verse propaganda. We must pro-
claim our rights without wavering
especially among the neutrals, and
we must work methodically TO OBJ
tain the revision of the Versailles
treaty. In order to do this we must
have a settled program which should
be as follows:
Germany recognizes her duty of
collaborating to the utmost limit of
her power in the reconstruction Of
Europe and in the recovery Of the
worlds economic wealth. Since we
were defeated we mean sincerely 10
carry out the reparations within the
limit of our power, that is TO say, to
repair as far as possible the devasta-
tons caused by the war.
But, as Keynes pointed out recently

reparation TO which we, must devot,
ourselves must be the reconstruction

two peoples, and not in the spirit o

ruined Russia, which is a menace o

conditions. 1t is here that lies tn

OPPOSITION TO LLOYD GEORGE

The movement formally launched
against Lloyd George by Independent
Liberals is a logical development of
English politics. A Premier has to
fight 20 retain his place. The British
plan of government organization may
have its defects, but. generally speak
ing, the uncertainty OF the Premier's
tenure is advantageous from tho pub
lie viewpoint. II it requires OPP
portunism, 1t also makes for a more
responsive administration.
The strained relations between
France and England to which the OPP
position points arc unfortunate. of

consequential opinion holds Lloyd
George at fault. The fault Is charge
