Intensive Farming.
From the Atlanta Constitution.

Georgia needs to secure a steady influx of
worth while land settlers There is no ques-
ton about that; and, relatively, no question
about the success that such settlers would
carve out OF the states almost unequaled
agricultural advantages and opportunities, il
properly approached and utilized.
For MANY wears the Constitution has adj
vocated breakaway from the one-crop idea
with a system of scientific diversihcation,
coupled with a business system OF building
necessary markets, that would, in co-opera-
ton, give Georgia farmers the most advan-
tageous opportunities for profit, and for en-
joyng the ideals Of happy community life.
To this end the Constitution has urged the
railroads operating in this territory, in con-
junction with connecting lines that reach ev-
cry section of America, to go after home
seekers, and through their farm auxiliaries
to prepare for the proper settling Of home
seekers so that they may prosper and be-
come part OF Georgia and add to her ma
tiona wealth and resourcefulness
l. A. Downs, president OF the Central Of
Georgia Railway Company, admirably meets
the requirements of the situation in the state
ment of the Centrals policy in this project.
The attitude of President Downs is an
other challenge to the spirit OF cooperation
that is sweeping over Georgia. Its success
hinges upon the interest and activity display
ed by the communities. Every community
in Georgia along the Central lines where
ready-to-go farms are available, or can be
made available should cooperate by organ
lied effort in this most progressive plan.
In the meantime the interest and activity
of the Centrals president in this matter is
most commendable. Since his succession to
the presidency OF this great Georgia system
a few months ago Mr.. Downs has proven
himself to be constructive force for Geor-
gia's material welfare, alert to every OPP
portunity and mindful of every advantage
that can be utilized for the prosperity of the
state.
The service he now offers for land settle
ment is a challenge to the other railroads
to cooperate like they mean it in move
ment to bring homeseekers to Georgia.

The Home Market.

The only sure road to the south's fullest
prosperity is market at home for the prod
ucts OF the farm, well says the Manufacturers
Record which declares: Until the south can
develop broader home market for djversi-
fed agriculture, market in which all the
products OF wel-rounded farm, such as
butter and eggs and milk and fruit and veg
etables can find local market the pros
perity to which this section is entitled by
virtue OF its advantages can never be fully
attained"
That home market can only be created
by the larger development OF industrial in
terests. Agriculture without home market
Tor diversified products" asserts the Record,
will never be permanently prosperous any
where or based on any one crop. 1t is i'm
possible for such home market to be Great
ed except through the growth Of industrial
interests, increasing the number OF consum-
ers OF food products in proportion to the
number of farmers"

A Serious Situation.
From the Jackson Progress-Argus

From the Jackson Progress Argus
The Jackson Herald calls attention to
a condition that is doing as much or
more than any other one thing to retard
the agricultural independence and pros
perity Of this section. Says our cOntem-
porary: Not a single cotton state in the
south has produced enough food and
iced stuff to maintain its respective hui
man and animal life for a period of six
months Hardly one cotton grower in
fifty will have enough food and feed in
his barns to supply the necessary de-
nlands of the farm for the next ten
months Corn, the great staple farm food
for man and beast, will most likely cost

Both Should Quit.

William G. McAdoo and Alfred E. Smith
heads of rival factions in the democratic
party, have renewed their fight for control
of the organization. Neither can hope to es-
tablish himself as the leader of united, sat
isfied party. Both should desist for the sake
OF party solidarity. AS long as these two
men are fighting each other for democratic
leadership that long will the organization be
divided camp. The fight between the Nc
Adoo and the Smith elements in the con-
vention at New York last June apparently did
not settle the issues between them. 1t did

culties when he accepted the nomination that
can be traced directly to the McAdoo-S Smith
wrangle in those sweltering days of the con-
vention.
Outsiders-meaning either democrats or
other persons-who are not greatly interested
either in Mr. McAdoo or Governor Smith
could see at a glance what these two men
somehow cannot vision at all, that there IS
with them bidding for leadership.
Mr. McAdoo and Governor Smith should
yield the leadership OF the democratic party.
Neither ever will yield it to the other OF
course, so it would be necessary for them to
retire in favor OF some one else. If they had
lust one thing in COMMON, an honest desire to
strengthen the party, they would step COM
pletely out of the foreground and let others
take their places Neither should feel that, N
so doing, he would be making sacrihces.
There is nothing for either Mr.. McAdoo or
Governor Smith because Of their determined
opposition to each other. The best compro-
mise that could be made by the democratic
party would be an understanding for the
complete elimination of these two men.

Lenin has been a living illustration

Cal Is Crowned; Rail
Barons Turn OFF Serfs
Especial to the DaiIy Worker

OMAHA, Nebr., Nov. IA
Iay-off affecting 164 employees of
the Union Pacific railroad here,
becomes effective this week it
was learned today.
Another cut of $50 men is
expected within the next thirty
days by those in close touch
with railroad affairs. A general
falling off in railway business
now is given as the reason for
the lay-off.
Now That Election Is Over.
The roundhouse force will be cut
fifty-six men, the freight car repair
yards thirty-eight men, and thirty en-.
gineers and forty flremen also will
be temporarily discharged.
The lay-off was not wholly unex-
pected in railroad circles. Whether
or not the other seven railroads here
will follow the Union Pacific's lead
and retrench also, is not known. This
lay-off is the first to be experienced
by the employees of the Union Pacific
system since last spring.
The unemployed problem in Omaha
territory was approaching the acute
stage just prior to election. There
was some slight relief for two or three
weeks, but conditions are once more
becoming serious.
Chaos For Workers Is Coming.
The packing plants, the largest in
dustry in this district, are constantly
reducing their forces. Hundreds of
unskilled laborers appear at the gates
looking for jobs which now pay from
fourteen to seventeen dollars a week.
Many of them have to keep pace with
piece workers for ten hours and more
each day. The majority only work part
time. The whistle still blows at $3.50
D. m, just as it did when the union
eight-hour day was in effect. but has
no meaning for the workers now
The building trades have many un,
employed, the so-called boom has
passed and but little construction
