The farmer need* n lender—n great nml hannul alnteamnn—to champion hi* oniiiw* and whom he enn truat. Farmer* have lieen fooled no often that they lire reluctant to follow. In the day* gone toy they have lielleved and .been deceived. They do not know "where they are at." They feel that they nre lieing made the goat and do not know who to truat and follow. The South right now need* a mnn—-a grent big mnn—one whom) heart in right and brain clear. Dared by the great calamity which linn befallen them, anil the grent InjiiaUce* which have been visited upon them, the farmer* know not wlmt to do or which way to turn. A great leader with a heart of gold and a tongue of fire, with no purpose except to do the right and lead in the right path, la the demand of the hour. One who can point the way and atcor them through the maze* of robbery and injils- tlee and bring atability out of clinoa in agricultural alfnirs, I* the Mono* for whom the fannera nre Hcekiug.—Mori wetlinr Vindicator.

Ami then there in tIn* astute ChnrlcH H, llnrrott, ever alert to the fanner*' iilteicHt, whose direful tliront to Con gross that "hell would be to pay" mi less something were done to relieve the •' situation,'’ was followed nlmoat Ittinie dintcly by the posting and tiurulng of glnuarles and warehouses throughout the cotton licit. Isn't he now advocating the Government ownership of railroads in (lie interest of the poor, downtrod den masses? Isn't lie opposed to the Farm Bureau organtr.ntions that are multiplying so rapidly ttmiughoUt the country? Could ii doughtier "lender' l>v found anywhere? Wo trow not.

There is mi appropriation of 11,850,000, made in It*2o, to pay ttds class for 1021, lint (lie increase of ♦25 for fill who were paid ns murli as #00 in 1020, and fi15 for all who were paid Icnh than in 11120, xceeds the appropriation by several thousand dollars. The law provides that this class must lie paid by May 1, in nch year, but the appropriation for 1081 Is not sufficient, even if funds were available to make the payment. “No appropriation was made by the General Assembly in 1020 to pay any of the new pensioners for 1021. ‘ Every pensioner entitled to a pen sion for 1020 will be paid some time, but just when thnt will Imi know, and this applies also nre 'entitled to n pension for “It is altogether unnecessary time, stationery and postage in making and answering inquiries ns to when the payments will lie made, for there will is- no delay when the inonoy is In the Treasury.

The lawsuit attacking the Constitu tionality of the Act establishing Federal Farm Loan Banks has at last been de cided by tlie U, H. Supreme Court in favor of the banks. This will enable the farmers to got money at an onrly late from this source to take care of some of tlielr obligations for land and improvements; and there are many far mers who should take advantage of this opportunity. The advantage of these loans is in (lie low rate of interest, which enables the borrower to repay Ids loan and pay the interest on it for Iohh than interest would cost on an ordinary loan, and in the long term over which the payments oxtend, enabling him to pay Ids debt out of the profits of Ills business. Tim White Oak Nntionul Farm Loau Association is organized to tiike care of the business in this enmity. Some of the best men mill best farmers in Coweta are members of it. T. Y.

Drake. DISCOVERING A MISTAKE. I’rogrossivo Farmer. Some counties whose officials decided to Veconomize'' by dispensing with the county agents, nre now discovering that this was a scriiiiiH mistake. Face to face with the necessity of diversifying, without the exact knowledge of wlmt crops to plant or how to go about plant ing tliem; with tho absolute necessity of rutting the eost of production from one-half to two-thinls below t'lnit of last year: not knowing just how to reduce this cost-cutting without redlining tho yield; with the importance of selling every farm product ut the highest pos sible price without a definitely organ ized co operative selling association; with' the desire to increase livestock on the farm without a thorough knowledge of brooding, care, and feeding, nml of dis ease control; with the will to plant homo orchards but without tho knowledge of spraying and pruning; with mortgages fir notes falling due on land ami equip ment, without knowing how to get ex tensions of credit—there has never been a time when n enmity agent has been so vitally necessary to farmers of any county in the Boulli ns during thin year of uncertainty. Much ns they limy desire to do so, county authorities cannot economize Iiy cutting off tlielr county agent, for this is not economy. They save some .few hundred dollars that go to pay tho salary, but they rob the county of from ten thousand to several hundred thousand dollars of Income which the county agent will bring into the county by ids work. No good county agent should he regard ed ns tin expense, but as a productive ngeiicy thnt brings in wealth to the county many tlmoa over Ids salary every year, It is all right to economize, but euro should lio taken not to ocomnnizo by cutting off tho sourco of supplies. u — — - Boost tho (.’handier of Commerce. THE TENANT FAMILY SHOULD OWN A DAIRY COW. Progressive Farmer. The large cotton planter will often tell you that it is not practicable to allow tenants to have chickens, a brood sow, and a dairy cow. As share-cropping tenant farming is done on large planta tions, it is probably true that it is not practicable to allow each tenant to keep poultry, a brood sow, and n dairy cow, but is not such ad admission a most ter rible indictment of our system of tennut farming? The inrgo cotton plantation may continue under present methods for a generation or two longer, but good tenants will never lie developed nor Uve under any system which makes it iinpruc- Ucalilo for their families to have dairy products. It will not do for the landlord to raise the poultry and pigs, and produce the milk and butter, nnd sell them to the tenant. Tho only things that mnko the compensation of tho farm worker any where near equal to that of workers in tho cities are those tilings which may be produced on the farm at small extra eost. nml which arc essential to the growth mid development of the children. The fault is not in the contention that every farm family, black or whito, should have poultry, pigs, and dairy products of tlielr own, hut in any sys tem of tenant farming which makes these things impracticable. Of course, no one enn solve this prob lem off-hand, nor force improved con ditions lit once, lint good tenants, good farming, nor even good landlords, can ever be developed under any system which makes it impracticable for the farm tenant’s family to havo a family dairy eoiv An appeal to tho mothers of the nation to supervise tho friendships of their soiih and daughters', to encour age sensible nnd modest dressing nnd to discourage face painting, uuchaperoiied automobile rides, lute hours and dancing is made in a memorial adopted by the Baptist Woman's Missionary Society of Greenville, 8.
