ROOSEVELT URGES
FARM COMBINES
Joint Marketing and Buying
Called Hope of Agriculture
in America.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SYRACUSE, N. Y, September IL
Combination and cooperation is the
hope of the American farmer, AS
ststant Secretary Roosevelt of the
Navy Department. declared today in
an address at the New York state fair.
The governments part in aiding the
agriculturist he said. should be con-
fined to legalizing fullest co-opera-
tion and assisting it through the fed
eral agencies of information and in
extending credit facilities where it
serves some practical purpose"
in my opinion" Mp Roosevelt.
said, the farmer has not kept step
with the times. The day of the small
individual has passed. Economy and
efficiency are vital to success and 1t
is automatic that either In buying or
selling, If you deal in bulk. you can
deal to your advantage.
Farmers Must Combine.
There is one way. and one way
only, that the farmer can meet this
condition He must combine himself.
If he does not combine and cooper
ate with his brother farmers he will
unquestionably be forced under The
proof of this is everywhere around
us New York state is one of the
leading states in the cooperative
movement, but even in New York we
have only begun the journey.
"Co-operation is necessary for the
salvation of the farmer. and the SAL
walton of the farmer is necessary for
the salvation of the general public"
Need Better Warehouses.
One effect of cooperation in the
future may be expected in improved
warehousing. the speaker predicted,
with huge storage plants probably
located at strategic points in rela-
ton TO markets. These, he believed,
should be owned by the farmers CO.
operatives themselves, for, besides be-
ing better managed, the politics
which invariably creep into state
owned industries could be kept out"
Mr.. Roosevelt concluded with a word
of warning against "quack' remedies:
"All over the country" he said,
there are sincere but mentally linn
tied fanatics and self-seeking poll
ticians peddling false doctrines. These
comprise such things as government
price fixing and unsound loans. Steer
clear of them. Remember that in the
long run anything which hurts the
country hurts the farmer, just as
surely as anything which hurts the
farmer hurts the country

MIRACLE IS SEEN
L.
ON GEORGIA FARMS
Farmers Who Gave Land to
Church Protected From
Boil WeeViI.
Special Dispatch TO The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
ARLINGTON, Ga, September Ii
The boil weevil hasn't touched the seven
acres set aside here for the Lord.
Furthermore. the seven farmers who
consecrated an acre each to the church
are prospering in everything they have
planted.
In contrast to their f1ourishing farms
is the devastation that has been wrought
everywhere in this section by the boil
weevil. Cotton has been eaten up
bodily, and almost without exception
the only farmers near Arlington who
will make money this year are the seven
who set aside an acre each for Gods
work.
The community believes so implicitly
that Providence has given its aid to
these seven that thirty farmers have
agreed to plant cotton and peanuts for
the Lord next year.
At the opening of spring this season
the Rev. H. II. Melton, pastor of the
Bluffton Baptist Church, near here.
asked each farmer in his church to
stake off one acre and give the pro-
ceeds to the church.
Sevei Made Pledge.
Seven pledged themselves to do this
I'VE, the undersigned farmer mem
bers of the Bluffton Baptist Church.
do agree to stake off, plant, culti-
vate and harvest one acre of our
respective farms. The product of
said acre, when in marketable condi-
tion, is to be turned over to a COM
inittee appointed by the church to re-
ceive and sell, and the proceeds of
said acre to be used in the work of
the Lord"
The seven are: J. b. Goodman. d.
King, A. NJ. Hubbard, w r. Rish.
J. f. Shaw, E. l.. Gay and Leslie
Goodman.
One remarkable fact is that they
took none of the usual precautions
against the boil weevil. 81 just
planted my cotton, worked it, and let
the Lord take care of the weevil,"
said King
ut is obvious that the Lord played
a part in the splendid crops of these
, farmers" said Mr.. Melton, pastor of
the Bluffton Baptist Church.
! Through the acres devoted to the
Lord the church expects to raise
money enough to pay its pastors
salary and next year to pay off the
church debt and build an annex to
the Sunday school.
