FARMERS COME TO THEIR OWN

Official reports set the value of the crops of 1924-25 at about twelve billion dollars, showing an increase of half a billion dollars over the crop values of last year and nearly two and half bil- lion dollars over the record of 1921-22. This showing emphasizes the fact that farming is not only in a sense the biggest business in this country, but the most vital to the nations prosperity. It is gratify-
 ing to note that farming conditions are fast approaching those of the pre-war period, and that there is a general recog- nition of the indispensable nature of the welfare of this industry.
 While there was a marked tendency to leave the farm for industrial centers dur ing and for while after the war, it is significant that there is an increasing movement back to the soil. This has been brought about by several influences and conditions, among which may be men toned the higher costs of living in cities, the overcrowded conditions in the great industrial centers, and steady improve ments in rural life since the war.
 Large numbers of workers, notably those among the negro race, who went to the cities North and West after the war; are drifting back. As one result of this, solutions of many of the problems on the farm become easier, especially the labor situation. The same is true to a certain extent regarding the exodus from many sections by white labor. Thousands have learned by experience that, with inn provements in living conditions on the farm, they erred in judgment, and they are glad to get back to farm life and conditions.
 How long it will be ere agricultural production attains the pre-war record is still to some extent a matter of sAecula-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-12-10

tion. But all the conditions point to an early realization of that record, while the rapid increase of industrial activities in the greater centers of manufacturing promises an even further and more speedy return to agricultural normalcy because of the increased markets, and the ex- perience in the farming industry in bene- fits from cooperative systems of hand ling farm products.

commonsense about facts that cannot be
 denied. These facts are that, under the
 present world situation, war might be forced upon us. To be reasonably pre- pared represents saving both in blood and treasure. It even represents our best insurance that there shall be no war.

Make the Physical Director President

ID Ine EU1tOr or The Age-F1era1d:
 Since there seems to be a strong effort to oust the president of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Alabama because of his lack of interest in athletics how would it do to replace him by a physical director change the name of the institution to The Alabama Athletic club, and get the legislature to make its appropriations accordingly?

COnsequences


 Everything you do has at leest one con- sequence, and some things have lot, sutch as asssing your teetcher back
 Everybody knows the consequences of set ting on a tack, and therefore people seldom do it if they know wat is happening at the time, and one of the most useliss things you can do is to tell somebody lets to go and set on one.
 Some consequences are diffrent from wat VOL ixpect, sutch as wen you fite fellow because you are sure you can lick him and he licks you insted, or wen you fite fellow that can lick you because you cant get out of it, and then lick him, but that mite not happen more than once in a life time and even then not to you.
 The consequences of some things are never known by the people that do them, sutch as falling off of a roof.
