INJUSTICE TO THE FARMER He Does Not Really Receive the Market Prices Quoted. We note in the political journal the editor says, as an explana tion of the election of Mr. Wilson, “the farmer has been selling' his wheat for $1.50 and upward, and that this was one reason why the western farmers supported the administration.” The farmer nowhere has been selling his wheat for $1.50 and upward. $1.50 wheat is city wheat, or wheat in New York or wheat in London. Wheat on the farm, on an average, has'been less than a dollar. This form of reading the mar ket renorts does great injustice to the work of the American farmer. City men cannot under stand why they are not rolling in wealth with wheat selling for $1.50 and cotton selling for 20 cents. Wheat is now selling in Chicago at SI.BO. The crop is short, bread is high and hungry people complain. Some of them are complaining about the far mer, but the farmer sold his wheat this year at not over one dollar a bushel, on the average. But because this i 3 so; because the farmer does not get these full prices for wheat or milk or cot ton or cattle, he must study the cost and conditions determining the profit or loss in farming. One of the conditions is the labor condition. As our contri butor, Rhea Hayne, says, cities are increasing in size and they are paying wages to attract labor from the farm. It becomes a matter, therefore, of first im portance that the farmer get, as soon as he possibly can, the best labor-saving implements that he can use to advantage. The Southern farmer, especially, must get the habit of substituting me chanical deyices for the uncer tain labor of the average farm hand. Study the advertising columns of your agricultural newspaper. Put yourself into correspondence with the manu factures, with the merchants that sell these implements, new and old; have your boys master the simple mechanical contri vances used, and then you be come more and more independent of farm labor. Moreover, the use of these ma chines not only reduces the cost of production, but it increases the yield. You can cultivate your fields better; you can take more care of the fields and of the crop at every stage of the season, and wind up the year with larger crops and better profits, that are a cause for thanksgiving.—Home & Farm. Roscoe Luke Draws Long Term on Bench. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 20.—Roscoe Luke, of Thomsville. Wednesday proved he had his luck with him when he drew the six-year term as justice of the Court of Ap peals.

Bowers has returned from Hawkinsville on the lowest water that a boat or barge ever traveled over, with his “crank baddle wheel,” which was in vented by him.
