Their Ears Should Burn.
From the Worth County Local.

Tohn Fields. editor of the Oklahoma Farm
err in a speech in Dallas, Tex, recently said
something that ought to make the ears OF
southern farmers burn. Most of the money
made on cotton in Texas this year will go to
nav for vegetables and meats bought by the
farmers last year" said Mr.. Fields, who thus
prefaced the conclusion that the primary
function of agriculture is to raise food on
which to live"
1t is a sorry picture presented by this farm
editor when he says: "a large number OF
farms. not only in Texas but in all the south
ern states, have no cows, pigs or chickens.
There are 100000 children in the south who
have forgotten the taste of milk. They are
weather that they may continue picking cot
ton.
In Dallas county, Texas 26 per cent Of
per cent do not have a pig and III per cent
do not possess a hen"
With such figures at hand it is not nee
the question, what ails southern life? The
argument against one-crop farming has as
great a point now, in the face OF high prices
for cotton. as when the prices were low.
And the case against the one-crop plan is
seldom better stated than in words of Mr..
Fields: The saying that cotton is great
debt paving crop is true, but why have the
debts? If the farmer would have a garden
and raise some livestock he would not want
for food and that is where his biggest in
debtedness comes from. Instead of notes to
the stores to be paid in the fall these farm
families would soon have bank accounts with
which to buy the things the merchants and
manufacturers are trying to sell.

Must Do L Themselves.

The Moultrie Observer, in the course OF a
recent editorial, said:
Factories must be built up from with
in and not ordered from without We
must find the products that can be man
l1factured in Moultre in competition with
the rest of the world, taking the cost OF
labor. raw material, freight, etc, into
consideration"
A greater truth was never uttered. The
town that expects outside capital to come IN
and build factories and make them growing
and prosperous communities will never get
beyond the hot air stage OF development.
Some have not yet learned it. but it is true,
nevertheless

ONLY ONE REMEDY.

From the New York Commercial
There is only one remedy for the farmer,
and that is to use better methods i'll the pro-
duction of his crops-to realize that he is a
business man and an industrialist Let him
study his markets in advance so as not to
over produce; let him study the best methods
OF cultivation so as to obtain the largest re-
over produce; let hi mstudy the best methods
let him stop running the government, which
is an endeavOr to unload his own mistakes
upon the taxpayers at large.

LIVING MILE POSTS.

From the Charleston News and Courier
That part OF the Jefferson Davis highway
which lies in Georgia on the way from Rich

United Daughters of the Confederacy with
pecan trees which will be planted at inter

If the United States undertakes to inquire
