SENATOR HOKE SMITH PRAISED BY
POSTMASTER GENERAL BURLESON
FOR WORK ON THE PARCEL POST
Tlie charge made in certain quarters that Senator Hoke Smith has
opposed the parcel post system is refuted by no less an authority than
Postmaster General Burleson himself. Mr. Joseph P. Rockmore, of Lo
gansville, Ga., wrote to the Postmaster General as follows:
“Logansvllle, Ga., July 13, 1914.
“Hon. A. S. Burleson,
“Postmaster General,
“Washington, D. C.
“Dear Sir: It has been charged that Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia,
fft opposed to the parcel post. I being a friend and ardent supporter of
Senator Smith will ask that you write me just what his attitude toward
the parcel post has been in the past and greatly oblige.
“Yours very truly,
“JOSEPH P. ROCKMORE.”
Mr. Burleson’s Reply.
The Postmaster General replied as follows:
“Office of the Postmaster General,
“Washington, D. C., July 15, 1914.
"Mr. Joseph P. Rockmore,
“Logansville, Ga.
"Dear Sir: lam in receipt of your favor of recent date. lam profoundly
astonished that any one should charge that Senator Hoke Smith is oppos
ed to the parcel post. The exigencies of the situation must be desperate
indeed when such gross perversion of the truth is resorted to. I sup
port** the shadow of basis for this charge is found in the fact that Senator
Smith one time expressed a fear that the department might go a little
too fast in increasing the weight limit of mailable parcels—an apprehen
sion shared by others, some of whom are in the department itself.
“Instead of being the enemy of the parcel post, Senator Hoke Smith has
keen and is one of its most intelligent friends and supporters; in fact,
the people are indebted to Senator Smith for material assistance in em
bodying in the parcel post law the vitalizing provisions which will enable
the postmaster general to ultimately make this splendid service so helpful
and beneficial to the great producing classes of our country. Indeed, they
awe him a debt of gratitude for what he has done for parcel post.
“I have said this much in response to your query because it is due
Senator Smith that the truth be made known.
“Permit me, in conclusion, to express the hope that this faithful public
•ervant will suffer no hurt because of the circulation of such baseless and
■njurtt statements.
“Respectfully yours,
"A. S. BURLESON,
"Postmaster General.”
Protection For Farmers’ Organizations
Section 7 of the bill recently reported to the senate, known as the anti
trust bill, was placed in the measure by , Senator Hoke Smith, after a vig
orous fight, and is as follows:
"Sec. 7. That nothing contained in the anti trust laws shall be con
strued to forbid the existence and operation of labor, agricultural, or hor
ticultural organizations, instituted for the purposes of mutual help, and
not having capital stock or conducted for profit, or to forbid or restrain
individual members of such organization from lawfully carrying out the
legitimate objects thereof; nor shall such organizations, or the members
thereof, be held or construed to be illegal combinations or conspiracies
in restraint of trade, under the anti-trust laws.”
The above section is intended to prevent the prosecution of such
organizations as the Farmers’ Union as being in restraint of trade. It
embodies the spirit of a bill introduced in the senate in April, 1913, by
Senator Bacon, and in the houseby Congressman Bartlett and known
as the Bacon-Bartlett bill. Since the death of Senator Bacon Senator
Smith has put the above amendment into the anti-trust bill which is
soon to be passed.

TO CORN CLUB ROYS
To Corn Club Boys And Others
Who Till The Soil:
Agricultural journals and week
ly newspapers have had for weeks
past, and will have for weeks to
come, much valuable information
and many useful suggestions
touching the improvement of the
soil.
Foremost among all the plans
suggested for restoring the fer
tility of our depleted soils is the
use of cover crops to protect them
from leaching and losing their
best plant food during the win
ter and early spring months. You
are advised that after these cov
er crops have held the soil through
the winter and made a growth
of a foot or two in height in the
spring, they should be turned
under and incorporated with the
soil for making humus.
These suggestions are so uni
versally approved by all authori
ties who are competent to speak
on agricultural subjects that they
are no longer debatable. You
have read them and will read
them and will doubtless concur
in the opinion that they are use
ful and practical suggestions.
But that is not going far enough.
Merely assenting to a good sug
gestion without acting upon it is
only a start in the right direction.
Are you doing anything toward
getting ready to cover at least
a part of your land with a cover
crop during the winter and spring
months? Have you decided
which is the best to use and what
time you will sow? Have you
the seed ready for it? There is
great danger that if you have
not taken these necessary steps,
fall may come, cotton picking
and corn gathering press upon
you and make you forget all
about it until it is too late.
Get everything ready now and
be sure to include a leguminous
plant as a part of this cover crop.
Vetch, crimson and burr clover
are the standard plants of this
class for fall sowing. Oats and
rye and wheat may be sown this
fall. Better get them now.
All corn club boys are especial
ly urged to sow their acres that
they have planted in corn this
year in small grain. Do not cul
tivate the same acre in corn an
other year if you can help it. If
any one will try even one acre
sown to rye or oats and vetch in
the early fall and turn it under
in the late spring and note the
change in the soil of that acre,
he will need no further preach
ment about its value as a soil
improver. It is the cheapest fer
tilizer.
