COVER CROPS.
It used to be a current Idea among ■
farmers that land Is benefited by ’’rest
inp " iml that it was. therefore, good ,
iw.i< tlee to let a portion of the farm "lie j
out” of cultivation for a year or more. '
Even the leading agricultural writers nd- I
vocated absolute ••r sf as a part of a |
legu! ir rotation, insisting that there is .
an tin«’xp!aii.able re.’<i|»eratlve power in '
the soil if ek« mpted from the burden of a
tegular crop once In every few years. Os
course | «'<• not deny that a soil will ,
produce a better crop after lying <>ut for
a year or two. The term "rest,” however,
is :• misnomer when applied to th» soli,
and <|o«s rot at all express what lakes
place, or what It Is that causes a ••rested”
soil to give better crops.
Th. fact is that a wrtl will not rest in
the S' ti e that it will cease to bring forth.

oth»-r Implcni. nts of cultivation, and when
thus It ft to itself it will gradually lapse
into its original wild suite, producing
nothing of value until tha second growth
tinilwr iHs otues large enough to !“>' f ,,r
eutting for fuel. A better way than rest- j
ng the soil by letting it He out of cultl- j
v.tUon is to seed it down in some crop that j
will not r«s|ii te cultivaCiou. and which ,
will at the same time not only yield some

Hut 1 set out to write about "cover ;
cro|-s. A cover crop is one that is sown I
or planted lit. rally for tiie purpose ut
covering me sob in the interim between
two regular crops. For instance, a cottun
laid mat .s to be planted in com next
year may be bvzwn in September or Oc
tober in rye. oats or wheal, to be giaxed
it viesired—during ujwn weather in the late

is generally employed in this way. indeed,
whenever any small grain is sown in cot

grain, it is lor the lime being a "cover"

by a crop of cowpeas the latter becomes

use. It is I’ke "gathering up the crumbs
that have fallen from the table.” This
process gees on all the fall and winter,
and In the early spring the cover crop
may be turned under to give up by rapid
vlecomiH>sition the plant food thus redeem
ed from probable waste. Moreover, such
a cover crop prevents undue washing
away of the soil which would otherwise
result from the rains of winter and
spring.
Among the crops that have been used
for this purpose. 1 have already mention
ed rye and other small grain. But there
are others that may prove even more
valuable for this purpose, viz. vetches,
crimson clover, dwarf essex rape, mus
tard, burr clover, etc. 1 ain inclined to
lielieve that the vetches will prove more
convenient and valutble than any of those
named. Vicla vlllosa. or "hairy" vetch,
seems to be the most suitable species.
Sown at the rate of one-half to one
bushel of seed per acre any time in Sep
tember. the seed come up after the rains
and cool weather of fall set in, and cover
the surface, more or less, during Decem
ber, January. February, March and April,
blooming and maturing seed and reseed
ing tho land, early in May, and then dying
out root and branch. It may be grazed
during January, February and March, and
if stock are taken off will then make seed
and die, and the seed will not germinate
until the succiedlqg fail, although a
j summer crop of any kina may occupy the
' land during the summer.
Vetch seed may he sown on a thick
1 Bermuda rod In September. They need
■ not be harrowed In or covered by any ar
tificial means. The 111 st two or three
I days' rain after sowing the seeds will
germinate.
i About the first day of last May I weigh
ed a small plat of vetch forage planted

pounds per acre of green forage, equal

FARM CORRESPONDENCE.
Selecting Corn and Cotton Seed.
John W. Conely, Matheston. Miss. —
: When I could stoop to pick cotton —I oh
[ talned a prolific variety th*n known as
i McCarley’s java—I used two sacks, a
small one for my select and a large one
for the remainder. 1 also used two bask
ets. In this way taking the best bolls
from the best stalks until I obtained
enough from which to procure my plant
ing seed. Mv cotton improved with thi.s
I treatment, and persons would purchase
: my seed at 25'cents per bushel for plant
| ing purjHises and claim that wa.s the b-st
i cotton they have ever planted, while the
market price for cotton seed was only 10
cents. Several years ago 1 obtained a
farmer’s bulletin, written by Professor H.
M. Tracy, now editor of Farm Depart
me.nt Commercial-Appeal, then director
of the Agricultural and .Mechanical col
lege ex|ierimeut station. It gave the re-
I suit of a corn lest In which 1 believe for
! ty-eight different varieties were tested.

Moon Blindness.
R C. Hardwick. Denmark. S. C.—l have
a mule that gets so she cannot see a
wink once or twice a month. Here eyes
swell up, balls turn white and stay so
for seven or eight d ivs, then clear up and
she can s«-e as good as ever. Iler eyes
generally swells shut when In this fix.
Please give me name of Him ase and rcni
-1 edy to cure same, if it can be done, oth
! erwls* the niulo is as healthy as can be.
Answer—lt is a pretty clear case of spe
' rifle or recurrent ophthalmia, or. us it is
■ commonly called, "moon blindness.” For
; this disease there Is no cure. But the,
. IndneM may be in-
■ definitely postponed and the animal may
live to a good old age or die of some oth
er disease, without going blind, provided
prop.*- care and attention be given during
the recurring attacks. <>n the first ap-
i marance of the disease and on the ap-
I pmaeh of an attack keep the animal in a
moderately dark place. Bathe tile eyes
with cold water for ten or fifteen mln
' ut’-s. thr„ times a day. ami after each
‘ bathing apply to the eyebail a little of a
lotion made by dissolving ten grains ace-
I tate of lead and ten drops of tincture of
I opium (.aiulanum) in l*z ounces of wa
ter. Continue tiie treatment until tile at
-1 tack is over. Also give one dram of lo
! dido of potassiuin twice a day for four
days in a bran mash. Tim foregoing treat
ment will not t>t event a return of the at
tack. but if persisteii In from the first
will usually prevent tiie eyes from going
out.
Coughing Cows.
p x. Crossley. Gteeueslatro. G.n. —We
have several cows that have a cough, on
coughs almost all th« time, and is very
per, but was fat when 'lm cough be
gun. which was tiwo months ago. What
is the miter with them, and please give
r«‘mcdy. They seem to uo hearty, give
almost the usual quantity of milk An
early reply through Tho Constitution will
be thankfully received.
Answer A cough is not a disease, but
•inly a symptom, and Is present 1n several
different diseases. Tho fact that several
of your cows are similarly affected sug
gests some improper treatment or sur
roundings. It is rot likely that several
t would have tulierculosis at the same time.
More likely it Is dim to s imo defect In
the fo>"i. such as moldy hay. bran, etc.

Cancerous Warts.
B F Murphree Murphy, S. • .—I have
a mule that it 1 >oks like warts is going
to kill him There are five, some as large
as a plate, ami have done uverytiung to

i'iw runs wuttT when he <*ms, ini *.»
in a stream as large as a big broom
straw The one on her thigh has cat out
a hole Please answer with remedy
through The Constitution at once wiiat
will remove them.
Answer-Try the following: Pulverize
nnd mix one ounce each of acetate of
load sulphate of zinc, calomel ami car
bolic acid. Wash the sores well and
while moist dust over the entire surface
with the above powders. Do this once a
dav. The one on the jaw has probably a
fistulous opening Intoo the mough through
which 'he saliva esiams. or it may !>••
situated opposite t<* one of llie salivary
glands. It would probably require Hie at
tention of a qualified surgeon. You did
not state what treatment you have tried.
Corns in Horse’s Feet.
A. P.. Tallndcgn. Ata.—l have a horse
thii* has something like a corn on Inside
of his hoof. It is hard on outside and if
picked into, runs blood and corruption.
I would thank you for remedy and If not
a corn. *vhat do you think it is?
Answer—Your description is strangely
incomplete. You do not state whether It
is a f<>re or a hind foot. (Corns do not
come on the hind feet.) You do not say
at what point the sore is located. A corn
occurs only in the quarters, or between the
l>ar and the wall. You do not say wheth
er or not the horse Is lame. It is proba
bly a corn, or if not it may be treated in
tiie same wav. Remove the shoe and if
there is inflammation poultice the foot
two or three days to reduce it. changing
the poultice once a day. Then rasp the
wall of the hoof level and put on a level

Sore Eyes of Poultry.
J. IT. Gray. Fogartyvllle, Fla.—We are
troubled here with an epidemic among
our chickens. A white scum starts in one
corner of tiie eve and gradually grows
over tiie same, attended with suppuration.
Fowls' apiietlte good. One eye alone may
be affected. Can you kindly suggest
some remedy?
Answer —It Is one of several forms of In
flammation to which fowls are subject.
Dissolve fifteen grains of borac.lc aciu in
one ounce of water and cleanse the in
flamed eve with It. When the front of
the eve Is clouded dust a little calomel
over the surface once a day. Keep in a
dark place and give small quantities of
food and plenty of fresh air.
Gadfly—Warblea.
I. W. Jarrell. Newton. Miss.—l have a
cow strangely affected. She runs on a
good pasture, but won’t graze but very
little. She stands for a few minutes,
then .commences stamping her feet, hoist
: her tail and runs for life. 1 have made
I an examination and enn’t find anything
i wrong with her feet. Please state
through your columns the disease and
| treatment; was_jiffected same way last
year.
Answer—Your description of the antics
of the cow does not indicate any disease,
but is a very good description of how a
cow acts when attacked by a gad fly, the
insect which produces warbles, or grubs,
so often found under the skin along the
backs of cattle.
Grass for Name.
B. C. Y, Umatilla, Fla.—Please give
name and qualities of Inclosed grass.
; \\ ill it suit, our south Florida climate?
• It lias been growing for several years in
i my back yard, somewhat protected by a
f< nee, shed and wood pile. It has been
k< pt graz <1 off l>y hiekens ami my horse,
v ho occasionally get at it and :.eem fond
of it.
Answer—The grass Is Sporobulus Indl
cus, or drop seed, cr smut grass, the lat
ter rame because the heads are frequently
lille<l with smut instead of seed. It is an
iiitri diic--d grass from India but is becom
ing quite common in this country, espec
ially in the plney woods regions. It Is a
perennial, grows to a good height on
oidinary soils and is very persistent. If
ctr while young and tender it makes a
tail quality ->f hay, but when In seed the
stalks are tough and wiry. It should be
k< j>t closely grazed, or mo wn while young.
Deep Cough of Horse.
N. E. R., Alvin, Tex—Can you state
what is tho matter with my horse? He
.<•■■ ins to be ail right, is always fat anil
had rather work than not. When worried
or driven fast he coughs a iie?p, hard
<•< tgh wliieh seems to worry him. When
I got him, two vears ago. he had sleepy
spi Ils and would almost fall down, even
whet working; is better now Is a Texas
por y five or six vears old. Has never re
f • d to pull, though was untrained when :
1 got him. (las "good appetite.
Answer—From the symptoms as descrlb- i
ed I cannot say what Is the matter. A
ci ugh is not itself a disease, but only a
symptom, and It may be incident to any
ine of several dis 'uses. When tiie pecu
liar character of the cough is given it >
n ay enable a diagnosis of the .cause of ,
it. I suspect in 'his case that your horse I
is Injured in “his wind,” or it is possible ‘
that it may be some other disease. A
wind-broken horie always has a cough.

perience what to use.
Dicer on Foot.
T. J. Richardson, Holtville, Ala.—l have
a mare that one year ago while rolling
struck her foot and knocked up a piece
o: hide about the size of a silver half
dollar In the edge of the hair just above j
the hoof. Her ankle in time had been '
cut or burnt by a rope, this striking the
s: me old scar. Working through the I
fl- w and grit it was some time healing
up. By the use of burnt alum and blue- |
stone water It healed, leaving a small |
lump. This spring it got scratched, bruis
ed or scarified some wav and now Is as I
large again as at t. Never has lamed
her in ill* least. The lump is hard and
raw. 1 do pot think there Is any sand
or anything in the flesh. It has showed
no sign of running corruption.
I’lease give remedy and state whether
or not the old sear of the rope was the
cause of the lump forming.
Answer 1 cannot say whether or no
the lump was caused by the old scar of
the rope. Try the following: Wash th*
place clean. Then sprinkle on It some
of a mixture of one dram each of acetate
of lead, sulphate of zinc, • calomel and
carbonic acid. Do this once a day.
Peanut See 1 One Year Old.
S I’ V'anlandingham. Cairo, Ga.—l
Would like some advice from someone who
h ill S lim experience l i pla pindam
the second year from some seed. I have
plenty of seed for my next crop, and my
cron is sorry this year, and if Mr. Redding
or nine one that has tried th* experi
ment will advise me through The Con- ;
stitutlon would l>e much obliged.
Answer—l cannot from experience nn- j
swer the above question. I would say ;
that if the peanuts are kept entirely dry
th*y would be good for seed next year.
Their vitality would be very greatly Im
proved (at planting time) by their not
being at all rancid. If anyone can give
a reply based on actual experience I will
be glad to hear from him.
Sirup In Tin Cans.
Please tell me through the columns of
your paper how to put up ribbon enne
molasses to keep from souring or ferment
ing. If put up InMin cans, sealed air
tight, will it keep It from going to su
gar, ’and where can I get the cans?
Answer—Sirup put up while boiling hot >
In tin cans and sealed air tight will keep
Indefinitely without fermenting. But if
boiled too low murh of it will granulate
into sugar. The great advantage of put
ting up the sirup in tin cans (bottles. Jugs, ;
etc will answer) is that it does not have
to be boiled so low I do not know tho
name of any tinner who makes a business
of manufacturing sirup cans.

Cotton Seed nnd Cotton Meal.
J. 1,. Gufford. Dublin. Ga.—What would J
be a fair exchange of cotton seed for cot- J
ton seed meal to us* the cotton seed meal ,
for a fertilizer Cotton seed Is selling for 1
17'.. cents per bushel tn our market to
<l<i y.
Answer—For manuring purposes ROfl .
pounds of meal are about the equivalent
of pounds, or one ton, of seed. Tho
oil that is In the seed is of no value what
ever as a fertilizer, hut Is worth about
3" cents a gallon in the market. A farmer
could afi ord to give one ton of seed Sir
8M pounds of meal, the mill to pay for
hauling, rather than use the seed for '
manure. But tho farmer is entitled to 1
something more than the fertilizing equiv
alent of meal for his ton of seed.
The mill gets out of one ton of seed ,
the following:
725 pounds meal at Sil" per ton ,7251
1 imh< pounds hulls at S’> per ton 2 si)
37 gallons oil at 3Cc gallon 11 30
Total S 5 I
1 flunk the mfl| could well afford to |
pay the farmer 22 to 23 cents per bushel
for seed delivered. The mill will then
have about $5 per ton margin of profit.
Red Clover and Crimson Clover.
R. M. Linvltte, Bowen. Ark.—Will you
please answer the following questions
in regard to hay crops? Is red and
crimson elover the same? If not, which
is the best? I have gray sandy and
black sandy land, free from gravel, with
stiff clav subsoil. Would it make good
clover, timothy or alfalfa? It makes
from fifteen to twenty-five bushels of
corn per acre. It was in oats and wheat
this year. When should it be planted
and how much to the acre? Is It best in
drill or broadcast?
Answer—Red clover and crimson clover
are not the same. Red clover is a bl
ennial plant. Crimson clover Is strictly
an annual plant. They are so different
in habit that it is not usual to compare
them with each other. Crimson clover
seed should be sown quite early In the
fall, say in September, at the rate of
fifteen pounds per acre and lightly .har
rowed in. Red clover may be sown in
October at the rate of ten to twelve
pounds per acre and brushed in on well
plowed and nicely harrowed soil. Red
clover requires a good stiff elay soil.
Crimson elover does very well on light
soils Neither will amount to much on
land that would make less than twenty
five bushels of corn or one bale of cotton
per acre. Alfalfa is the same as lu
cerne. It Is a perennial plant and re
quires a very rich, deep sandv loam
October is the best time to sow the seed,
but thz-y may be sown tn February and
March if the land is very clean, prefera
bly in drills twenty-four to thirty inches
apart, just as you would sow rutabagas.
Hairy Vetch.
Charles Johnson. Highland Postoffice,
T,a.—l have a lot of about five acres now
in pasture and has been for years. It is
sodded with bermuda and coco grass
nnd badly grown up in bitterweed and
coffee weeil. It is a sandy loam. I want
to put it in hairy vetch. Please tell me
when and how to plant and how much
seed it will take to the acre. Also, how
and when to harvest and pasture. I am
a sulwrlber for your paper.
Answer—l would certainly first make
an effort to reduc# the amount of coffee
weed anil bitter weed by going over the
field with a mower, or a scythe, cutting
off these weeds and burning them. By
this means there will be much less of
them next year, and if the process be
repeated next year as often as the weeds
show bloom you will get rid of them
entirely.
Tho vetch seed will com* up nil right
If sown on the sod without plowing or
harrowing, sowing one bushel of seed
per acre, but it would improve the ber
niuda sod if you will plow and harrow
it. At one bushel of seed to the acre
you will probably get a good stand of
vetch the first season, but at considera
ble expense, as the seed are worth sl-0
per bushel. You might sow only half
bushel and take care to remove stock
early enough to give plenty of time for
tho plants to make seed. Os course you
may purchase the vetch any time during
the winter, but not too closely, until
March Ist or possibly a little later. I
have not had sufficl / t experience to say
just how late.

FARM OWNERSHIP BASIS
SUCCESSFUL AGRICULTURE
We are all thinking mor* or less about
th<- census of ifrO. Mulhall gives us seme
idea of what ft will be In his "Forecast,
of the Twelfth (American) Census,” in
The North American Review for July, lie
shows the enormous gain which the west
has made over other sections, both In
population and wealth; and gives as th'
cause, th* emigration from the east and
from abroad, of people who have gone
ther* and purchased homes, the opening
up of homestead lands and the building
of railways.
The prairie states show a gain in wealth
In the last census of $2(3 per capita; the
Pacific states. 1363. and the south, :
while the average for the union is $155 per
capita.
A balance at the eleventh census shows
us that the per cent of farm ownership
is smallest at tho south, and increases as
we go north and west. Os the farmers in
Mississippi. 62.27 per cent tire tenant .
while in North Dakota only !•.'.•) per cent
r>nt land. In Georgia 58.1!) per cent of
those who cultivate the sAil are renters,
and In Minnesota the per cent is on,’.’
15.25. We And also that the degree of
farm tenancy at the south was on tiie
increase between IXBO and IStO, and the
supposition is that the tendency is stul
in the same direction. This fact has led
a number cf our prominent citizens to
make the statement that the land would
eventually pass entirely Into the hands of
the moneyed classes, and the great bulk of
farming in this country lie done on the
tenant system, with the farmer little bet
ter than a serf, and his margin of profit
barely sufficient to maintain existence.
This Is. indeed, a danger which our
people must face—a danger which threat
ens almost irreparable injury and loss to
the country. It means tho converting of
our rich and lieautiful land into a barren
waste; the gradual destruction of her re
sources. with final abandonment, as has
been the case in many parts of Europe.
\\ hy? Because a system of tenancy farm
ing exhiusts the soil, for tiie simple
reason that the tenant takes everything
est and puts nothing back whi h iie can
possibly avoid. Because tenant farmers
are composed almost entirely of tiie low
est and most ignorant class of farmers,
and there is no incentlxc for them to take
care of Hie land, or Improve it. Thus, we
find that a her* the tenant system is most
In vogue the yield of farm produce is
smallest.
The south for the past thirty years has
been moving forward under a terrible
handicap, having on her hands a largo
negro population which she was not in
position to hire for wages. In consequence
of which these negroes were forced upon
the land to live as best they could. This
class, possessing the acme of poor’judg
ment, and with only a rudimentary knowl
edge of how’ to grow corn and cotton,
have been moving from place to place,
leaving devastation and ruin behind them.
Sir.all wonder that the south shows up
last of all sections in the production of
agricultural wealth. The inquirer and
would-be settler secs the low percentage
without understanding the circumstances
which produced it; they also see the high
percentage of wealth In the west, and
west they go to look for homes and in
vestment.
It goes against the grain for me to let
this state of affairs go unchallenged, liv
ing as I do at the south, where the nat
ural conditions are infinitely superior to
those of any other sectfcn for agricul
tural prosperity.
The south must come out from under
the ban v hlch tho irresponsible Ignorance
of a negro tenantry has cast over her.
Forewarned Is forearmed. To see clea’-ly
the conditions and their destructive ten
t'ency, is the first step toward their cor
rection.
We have shown that the tenant farmer
is a menace to the agricultural prosperity
of a country, and when we say this It ,
means also a menace to every other line
of enterprise; in short, the country itself.
As the ratio of farm ownership in- ■
creases, other things being equal, the j
agricultural wealth an 1 general prosperity j
of the country also Increases. The reason j
for this Is not far to seek. The farm own- ;
er lias a personal interest in the land
itself. *He not only seeks to make a i
crop, but trie* to improve his soil at the I
same time. Thus we ses the small farm- !
ers in the west growing well-to-do and i
Independent from tl.e unearned increment
or Increase in the value of their farms, ,
brought about by good management,
where the productiveness of the sail and
general output of the farm has been en
larged. These are the men who make a
country prosperous, the ipdependent farm-

ers who live under their own vine, an 1 fig
tree. Some of the nations of the old worl 1
aro beginning to appreciate this fact, and
have passed laws whereby the tenant
with thrift and energy may eventually
become owner of the land he r« nts; thus
giving to these people an interest In th*
land and an incentive to Improve the soil
’ and keep up th* prosperity.
’ That farm ownership is desirable and
1 benefb'lnl to a country. 1 think, no one
will deny; but still we have the fact to
Ince that renting is on the Increase at th*
south, with the Inevitable conclusion that
th.’ Individual owner has In many cases
failed to make the farm pay, and has con
sequently rented it out. or his property
1 has passed into the hands of bls creditors
; to be in turn rented out by them. We
' come then to the question, why has fann
ing failed to pay the southern farm owner,
and what is the cause of his western
brother’s success?
We find that almost without exception
the Lirmer who has failed at th* south
has nevoted himself almost exclusively
to the growing of cotton and corn, while
purchasing in a large measure his home
supplies. On the other hand the suc
j cessful western farmer, the successful
wheat farmer. I may say, where wheat
1 Is the staple crop, has a living outside
of his money crop. He has a good gar
den, he keeps a number of cows, hts wife
I raises chickens, there are pigs to con
' sume the waste; in short, his diversified
Interests furnish steady employment for
; himself and family the year round, and
g! ves him his living, so that his principal
. money crop comes In sue of Incum
: brances. The big bonanza wheat farms
' of the west cannot compete with him.
and are being divided up into smaller
farms. Their crop comes In burdened
! by largo bills of expense, and only when
I prices are good can they hope to pay a
I dividend.
1 The farmers’ institute has been of in
-1 estimable benefit to those western farm-
I ers, and has contributed not a little to
; their success. T. B. Terry, writing of
these institutes ir. Minnesota, says: "The
■ meetings are invariably well attended.
' the farmers often driving twenty or
i twenty five miles, and great good has
been accomplished.” Here the farmers
have learned newer methods, and have
had the discoveries of science explained
to them in a practical way so they can
apply then) to their farm work. Then
bi sides these people are intelligent ami
pushing and no wonder they get ahead.
The southern farmer, then, is losing
his land through unscientific method-,
and his devotion to one crop. If. then,
the farm owners who have an interest
in the land are falling behind, what
can we expect of renters who have no
interest in th* soil they cultivate l»eyond
what tney can get out of it. No wonder
the south shows a small percentage of
agricultural wealth with those people
forming over halt of our farm popu.a
--11 if you will travel through the south
vou will find that the successful, pros
perous larrm-rs and there are many of
them in spite of tho showing the south
mikes are men who own their farms
I and plan and direct the work themselves.
' Tiie successful renter is a rarity. You
will also find that these successful tni-n
h ive a diversity of interests *hk-h gives
them and their families, hands and stock
work the greater part of the year. It
Is manifestlj impossible for men culti
vating but a single crop and working
only two-thirds of the year to mail a
success in competition with the man
who works all the year and has "more
than one string to his bow.
The south needs more good farmers
and fewer tenants. The intelligent, wide
awake farmer at the south is doing as
well, and in many cases far better than
his northern brother. There are advan
tages in his favor in the way of climate,
length of seasons, and variety of crops
of which our northern friends km-w litt .j
or nothing. To one who thoroughly un
derstands these advantages i seems
pr.-posterous that the south should re
main at tiie tail end of the procession.
But what shall we do? Manifestly, first,
do all in our power to encourage fann
ers to work their farms themselves and
rout as little as possible. Secondly, inau
gurate a thorough system of farmer;
institutes throughout the south and teach
tli. farmer improv I methods, showing
him where a div rsity of crops will li.-l;.
him and how with cattle, hogs and
garden truck he can live and have his
money crop—cotton—freed from ail in
cumbrance Thirdly, induce good farm
ers to come south and buy the land now
rented and make homes here. And fourth
ly encourage land owners to offer in
ducements to renters so that with proper
enterprise thev may be able to eventually
buv the land they now rent. And at
any rate deal fairly with them and give
them a iust share in any improvement
they may make either in buildings or
through the increased produetlven.ss ol .
the soil. Anything to give the renter
an interest In the land so that he will
improve, instead of ruin It. The land
which lias up to the present been the
southern farmer's last consideration must
receive his first and continuous thought.
I am no single taxer, but I do believe
that the land is the place for the ma
jority of the people, out under God's
sunlight where they can produce new
wealth and sustain themselves at the
same time. 1 am also firmly convinced
that the southern jieople have sufficient
mental ability and common sense to deal
with this question and so shape the
laws and govern their business that a
farm home will increase instead of di
minish, and the calamity of a tenantry
system of farming be averted and our
tendency in that direction changed for
the better. F- J- NERKIAM,
