Quezon, resident commissioner of the Philippines to the. United States, when asked whether he look any stock in ' the constantly recurring Japanese war rumors. "No country on earth,” continued Mr. Quezon, "would dnro to provoke the United States into war if it did not have this outlyfhg dependency in the far Eaut. "All naval authorities agree that the United States could not hold the Philippines againBt Japan. The ex penditure of hundreds of millions of dollars on fortifications would be nec essary to make the Philippines safe from Japan invasion. "Some say that if the Philippines were taken by Japan the United Sta tes could eventually recover them. Yes, but in the meantimo the Philip pines would be the sceno of the war, with all its horrible consequences fall ing upon the FUllpino people who would be the victims in human lives sacrificed and in the terrible desrtuc- tlon of property which obviously could not be avoided, it would be the final blow to the prosperity of my country. "Such being jthe {case )it is the moral duty of United States to save the Philippines from this d oger, be cause. the honor and fultli of -the Un ited States are pledged to the welfare of my country. ‘And the simplest way for Uncle Sant <to put a quietus to war talk is to give the Philippines o neutralized cpublic.

If the demonstration farm of the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroad at Byrqmv^IIe. Should these expecta tions be realized it will most likely be the means of transforming many acres of south Georgia land into truck gardens and fields for the cultivation of products hitherto untried In thin section. The industrial department of the A. B. & A., established the demonstration farm at Byromvllle last year, under arrangements with J W. Byrom & Son with a view to testing tho araptablll- ty of the soils in that section for truck gardening and other farming Ui- dusries. The first crop experiment ed with was mainly from seeds of Georgia products, only they wew planted and cultivated along the most scientific methods. The financial si ccess of this experiment was so conspicuous that the Industrial depart men of the rlad put the farm's fin ancial statement into the form of a circular and distributed it widely i.iroughout the west and northwest with he result that ftiuny new set tlers wero attracted to tho A., B. & A. territory. This year he industrial department was fortunate enough to obtain from the givernment agricultural depart ment at Washlngtin a quantity of special seed, an dthese have been for warded to the Byromvllle demonstra tion farm for immediate planing.
