The Japanese Disaster

The Japanese disaster, in loss OF
life and property values. is the wors,
calamity that ever has befallen any
country, excepting war and social
revolutions. but while infiicsing ter
rible losses upon Toxic. Yokohama
and the neighboring district, it has not
to any very serious extent affected the
industries OF the country. Unfortun-
ately for the property-owners the
losses were to only slight extent COW
cred by insurance, the experience of
insurance companies in the San Fran
cisco earthquake and fire having
prompted them since to insert clauses
in their policies which expressly ex-
cept losses resulting from earthquakes.
This is perfectly legitimate practice
when policies are intended to cover
ordinary fire hazards only and charges
are not adjusted to the earthquake
hazard. The latter is almost uninsur-
able at a rate which the public would
care to pay, because of the difficulty
in determining and distributing the
risk.
The effects of the disaster outside
will be felt through various and more /
or less opposing influences. The most
obvious effect is the demand for
building materials and goods to take
place of the stocks destroyed. Lumber
prices are stronger under this infiu-
ence, and no doubt large amount OF
steel and hardware will be imported.
On account of the absence of insur-
ance funds, it is probable that the
Japanese government will grant a loan
Of credit for reconstruction purposes,
and that loan will be offered in New
York and London. 1t is interesting to
note that if the losses had been cover
I'd by insurance in New York and
London companies, the latter would
have sold reserve securities in order
20 make payments, while in the alb
'ence of insurance, securities will be
sold likewise. Thus, so far as the
is concerned, the effect
S about the same. In either case
modern finance distributes the immedi-
tie burden, which will be ultimately
covered by the earnings of the proper
y replaced

'alue of national character stands
people in good stead in an emergency

Relief for the Wheat Farmer
The advocates OF legislature aid for
agriculture are centering their atten-
ton on measures mainly in behalf of
the wheat grower. who in the region
where the crop is short and the quail
ity low unquestionably is in a deplor-
able position Most of the proposals.
such as reduction OF freight rates to
the seaboard or formation OF a cor
poration to make sales abroad, look
to foreign markets. but there is no
use in looking to the foreign market
for wheat in the Middle West this
year. The price in Minneapolis today
is above the possibility of profitable
exports with any suggested reduction
OF freight charges Canada, with an
enormous crop, of high quality and
with the price in Winnipeg 20 cents
per bushel under the Minneapolis
price, is supplying the foreign market

cate freight rate reductions that the re-

that an act like this in the case of a

Remedy is to Grow Less Wheat
There can be no permanent help
for the wheat grower without reduc-
ing the acreage in wheat The only
way wheat can be grown advantage
ously in this country is in rotation. as
feature in diversified farming, which
sustains the yield and quality. Origin
ally the yield of wheat on our Western
prairie was as large and the quality
as fine as any Canadian product. but
continual cropping without rotations
not only causes loss OF yield. but a
loss OF protein, which is the quality
millers are willing to pay for. Nature
rebels against the one-crop system.
Moreover. the Canadian competition
is there to stay. with large areas of
new lands to be brought in if the price
should rally, and there is Russia to be
reckoned with. And finally there is
such news as the following from the

possibly Nebraska, will be fully equal

for the seeding OF an area of 100000

while well-informed people suggest the
possibility of not less than l2,000.000
acres being sown in that state. Okla

SIX THOUSAND CONVERTS
DURING ATLANTA REVIVAL

ATLANTA, August 13.-The re
vivaI and gospel healing meeting
that has been conducted by Evange-
list Raymond T. Richey, Of Houston,
Tex, in Atlanta for the past four
weeks concluded Sunday evening
August u, with a record Of near
~ 5000 conversions and approx
mately 5000 Divine hcalings, ac-
cording to the announcement Of
the revival committee.
Hundreds of remarkable cures
by the power of faith, and thou
sands that were outwardly less re-
markable, featured the revival. Rev.
Richey denies all personal praise for
the. healings. "They were done by
Jesus, not by me, and all the glory
belongs to Christ who is the same
yesterday, today and forever"
Persons who testified that they
had not walked for years rose from
cots. or threw away their crutches,
or abandoned their wheel chair to
run across the stare. Persons who
said they were blind testified that
thew saw; persons who claimed they
were deaf announced that they
heard.
The revival was interdcnomina-
tional and the workers mcmded
members and ministers from leading
Atlanta churches. the Atlanta camp
of Gideons, the Billy Sunday club
and prominent business men.

of butter and eggs! There is no
estimating how many dollars worth
of other products we shipped in, all
of which could have been grown
right here in Lowndes and adjoin-
ing counties, if we had an organi-
cation to promote their growth and
marketing.
Il think it is to our everlasting
shame that California ships black
eyed peas to Georgia, and we eat
them every day. Denmark ships our
cotton seed meal cake over there,
feeds it to their dairy herds and ship
their dairy produces back to this
country and sells it at a profit. This
is a little beside my subject but
| mention it to show we are not
really trying to accomplish anything
or least we are not going about it
in the right way. California and
Denmark do these things by coop
Grafton.
ut is too long for me to under
take to tell you all l learned of the
success of cooperation as practiced
by the California growers. Their
plan of cooperation is identical
with that of Denmark. Suffice it
to say that citrus groves that were
so improbable 15 years that the
growers began cutting down their
trees and planting the land in grain,
is now worth from $1,000 an acre
on up. Raisin lands that were 60
ing begging ten years ago because
raisins were so cheap that the
growers could not pay the interest
on their mortgages is now worth
$1,000 to $1,000 an acre, and this
was all brought about by co-opera-
ton. The growers will tell you
SO that is exactly what they told
me.
"Co-operation growing and sell
ing is business proposition. 1t
requires careful thought and study.
