ah. my friends, it is a lovely
feeling.
The life of a gentleman farmer
is indeed a delightful one. He
arises at 9 a. m. By that time
the hired hands have fed the
chickens. MIXED cows, cut the
wood, and accomplished other
odd jobs hither and thither
about the premises.
He is served a breakfast of eggs
from his own hens, bacon from
his own pigs. bread from his own
wheat fields, and honey from
his own bees. Later he drives
to the nearest golf course and
spends the day wandering around
the links.
He returns for dinner-all his
own produce-and then drifts
out to visit friends for the eve
ming, returning home late, and
sleeping the sleep that comes
from honest toll.
At the end of the year he
totals up his assets, and his out
going bills, and finds himself con-
siderably in arrears. He sells the
farm, pays these off, and goes
back to work again. But he has
had a lovely time.

trees of all kinds. And vegetables.
And a tennis court. And gold
fish pond. 1t is all so pastoral.
You should see me behind my
patient, plodding mules as I harry
the fields. l think harry is the
word. The only troubles comes
when the mules go on one side of
a tree and I steer the pillow on
the other. But these are only
minor matters.
l love nature. BeauteouS, benef-
icent nature. 1 love the sun and
the moon particularly the noon
and the stars. l love the soft
winds. and the gentle dripping
rain. So darned much rain dripped
over that dirt road up to my house
that I was marooned for two days.
Drat! But 1 still love nature.

the loss in flavor of bean coffee is

WORK RELIEF WAGES

Now that the first excitement over the wage
scales have been announced for the work-relief
projects has died away we can sit back and do a
little wondering as to just how many folk who
are now on relief will feel like going to work.
We hope that the government will be able to find
enough work to put every able-bodied man and
woman on job Assuming that there are enough
projects to take up most of the slack, it seems to
us that the only way the whole plan can be made
effective is to take everybody off direct relief who
refuses to go work relief.
The work relief wages for unskilled workers
range from $40 to $40 month, and for skilled
workers from SIS to S94 month. These are not
high enough to keep anybody who really wants
to work from taking private employment when it
is available. But they are not so much higher
than the sums which are being currently paid as
direct relief as to form much of an inducement

las they can loaf at public expense.
= lcf rworker who is drawing $50 a
.f2S1 90 a. many in many regions, is apt to
figure that if he goes work relief at $40 a
month he is really getting $40 month for work
ing. We have heard of such cases.
Therefore, it seems to us of the highest impor-
lance that nobody who refuses to take this work
relief when it is offered should be permitted to stay
on any relief roll at ALL We have no real expec-
tation that any such policy will be adopted, be-
we cannot imagine nation wide set-up of
relief administration work relief or direct relief
that is not in the hands of politicians, and have
seldom heard of politicians willing to ALLEVIATE

His statement in yesterdays dispatches that the

so rather than have it done in Washington, is a
case of sound sense.
This is thrust, partly concealed, at the Admin

grave one, exceedingly grave.
For remember this, as has been stated here over

Total American exports Of cotton during April

for the corresponding month last year.
This is making progress rapidly backward inso-

And the South had better be opening its eyes
to this impending disaster of wiped-out foreign

of the introduction of cotton culture in countries
that have never before thought themselves capable
of production.
