b!p from chewing tobacco.
The saliva is n natural fluid, socre-
b th , glands, for a definatc pur-
ro5e ._ to balance the acid gastric
luicr. The chewer wastes it by his from cultivation,
i expectoration. If he chews i concentration upon
prosperity they have ever known.
Over and over again the writers
stress certain factors as responsible
for this improvement. Among them
are:
(1) The movement of the least
successful farmers from the farms
to wagepaying jobs in factories and
cities, thereby at one stroke reducing
the farm production and increasing
the market therefor; (2) the with
drawal of sterile and worn out lands
consequent
intensiv

he is sore of excess of acid for the di-1 divemfication, stock, poultry and
gestion of this highly important, dnirying with a consequent year-
meal. Prolonged state of this nor- round income instead of the old, one-
mally alkaline saliva being thrown, crop system,
away, the victim discovers himself to 1
be a dyspeptic with chronic acid
.(tomach, inability to digest fatty
foods, and even burning pain arc evi
dences of the trouble. It is not
the nicotine, but the lost saliva that
produces the condition, chewing any
other thing, and spitting out the sal
iva, would doubtless cause as much
trouble.
Of these, the one mentioned most
often in the letters as vital to the
regeneration of agriculture is the
large movement to cities and fac
tories of people not suited to farm
ife.. Strange to say, this is one fac
tor in the situation that strikes terror
to many hearts and as one of the
letters point out, causes much of the
uproar over farm conditions. “The
The victim seldom lays his trouble I Ereatert ^oblc" says Harry D. Wil-
ihacco. Excess of acids will
tanc corrode the wall of the stomach
»nd produce ulcer.
A patient of mine once relieved
ail his stomach distress by stopping

kfore and after meals. 1 once saw
a chap of 101 years, who had chew

i. Commissioner of Agriculture for
Louisiana, “is that too many people
who do' not know anything about
fanning or farm problems are trying
to tell the real farmers how to form.”
And after that he Isits the tendency
among another class to try to block
the movement from the farms* “I

a point brought out by J. N. McBride,
General Agricultural Agent of the
Seaboard Railway Company in show,
ing the trend to improvement in
Southern agriculture.
As for agriculture being headed
for ruin. ’‘It is perfcct.y >«fe to say
that the most permanent industry in
the South is agriculture—and agri
culture cannot be destroyed,” said
F. I. Mumford, Dean and i/irector,
College of Agriculture of the Uni
versity of Missouri.
Dr. Andrew M. Soule, President of
the Gerogia State College of Agri
culture, writes: “It is true that wi
ost a lot of so-called farmers ii
Georgia; but, after all, were they
fanners? A large percentage of
them were tenants and lived at best
from hand to mouth. If a lot more
of this class of so-called farmers
would leav* the open country, agri
culture would be in an infinitely bet
ter condition than it is today. We
have 60,000 fewer farmers in Geor
gia than we had in 1920; yet we have
realized almost $100,000,000 more
for our 1927 crops than we did for
those of 1922.”
“While production per acre and
per man has increased, the substitu
tion of motors for horses and mules
has released 15,000,000 to 20,000,-
f)00 acres of grazing land, and prohi
bition bus re eased land formerly

hops, “says E. 0. Fippin, Executive
Secretary of the State Conservation
and Development Commission of Vir-

the South increased 316 per cent, is

The most remarkable feature of
the whole symposium is the almost
perfect unanimity of opinion. Only
one man of the 24 was disturbed
over the most conspicuous and most
discufgcd factor,—the movement
from farms to factories.
FARMERS CLUB MET SATURDAY
The Farmers Club met Saturday
with Mr. W. E. Ireland, and nearly
the full membership was in attend
ance, in spite of the disagreeable
weather. The elub decided to asisst

lowing committee was appointed to
adopt rules governing membership:
Messrs. J. A. Horne, Geo. W. Hollin-
shead and C. R. Torrance, they to aci
in connection with farm agent Ne
smith.
The weather conditions which
have delayed the work on the farm
was the principal topic of conversa

Mr. and Mrs. Ireland served
dinner which consisted of the most
tempting eatables. The dinner
thoroughly enjoyed.

Rockford, III.—Wild horses from
hr wpftcrn plains and infirm horses
from near western farms were ship
ped fo this city at the rate of 100 a
day during the past year to be con
verted into food for consumption by
Germans and Frenchmen in the old
country and by lions, tigers and dogs
in this.
Wi'hin the year more than 40,000
horses were slaughtered at the Chap-
nel brothers abattoir here, the only
institution of its kind in the United
States.
The bulk of the equine meat pack-
H by thr Rockford firm is shipped
to France and Germany. Circuses,
zoological rnrdens and dog kennels
provide a domestic market.
The plant was built shortly after
the world war and has grown rapidly.
The owners were in the A. E. F. and
conceived the idea of slaughtering
horses i n this country for shipment
"hroad when they learned that the
European market was underaupplied.
An average of $2 a head is paid
