selves with a check for 1915, q
fortune TO this family that has

personal saint and devoted years

habitant OF paradise.
Dismas, the good thief OF the
Crucifixion, MacMurphy found, was
least venerated among the saints
OF Christendom even though he
was the only one TO be canoniZed

A. front page article in the PATRI
OF asserts that "a sweeping expan
sion in food production is being
chalked up in the cotton country"
Cotton and tobacco once almost
the sole cash crops in a 14-state re
gion embracing $4,000 square miles
have given ground before giant in
crease in acreage, devoted to produc
tion of peanuts, soybeans, sweet pota-
toes, milk and eggs and meat, vegeta-

In the south last year farmers

ductlon hit an all-time high of 1872 bill
lion dollars, we'll over twice the 1885

Solving Farm Labor Problem
Another article in the PATRIOT
advances a three-point program for
solution of the farm labor problem.
The program aims at: 1. Eliminating
idle labor time lost in inter-seasonal
slack periods; and 2. increasing eff
cheney of available labor; and 8. Util-
izing available supply for work only
on crops most essential to the war
effort
Much of the south's manpower is
working inefficiently, for lack of such
elementary analysis of work methods
and training as was recently demon
strated to have increased cotton pick
ers' output 80 per cent by few sim
pie notifications in hand motions" :"
the article on farm labor states
Much of that manpower is idle :.
with millions of workers on south
ern farms practically unemployed
from four to six months of the year
/. Much of that manpower is being
devoted to crops which are little more
useful to the war effort than chron-
ium-plated automobile bumpers.

"some kind of war mobilization me-
