FOUR Pigs and Poultry WIIS Ke!p Tenant Farmer to Tide Over South’s Crisis Hogs Can Be Made Ready Money Crop As Substitute For Cot ton and Should Form Basis For Land Rentals and Ad vances From Banks and Supply Merchants. Pigs and poultry will. If the tenant termer and the pigs and poultry are given a fair chance, go a long waya toward the solution of the south's present problem. Ilog raisin*? Is going to he the bus- Ineeas of many a land-ownine farmer who will turn nest year from cotton planting- the prlnelpnl business on which they will depend. But it is not the land-owning farm er whose living is threatened In the prerent crisis. Ills profits are gone from one crop, and he Is called upon to stand a loss on cotton hut his living is not threatened It is the tenant far mer who is figuring now on how he is going to pull through. What hog-raising will do for the land-owning farmer it will do for the tenant farmer. The tenant f irmer like Ihc land-owning farmer must get away from dependence in cotton. In (Ills connection, the Columbia State says editorially: "To convert a negro tenant living fifteen miles in the country Into a shrewd, thrifty, informed farmer able to produce a dozen profitable crops he sides cotton ih the work *»f a genera tloti Vet we have probably a hundred hundred thousand such farriers In South Carolina. The land and ttte labor of the negro tenant must he em ployed or the country will suffer. The tenant must produce something that he can Hell." Why not produce something thnt can be sold at h"tne? The south spends millions of dollars annually for meat that Is raised in the Corn licit of the west. This meat can bf raised at home and the money paid home f ru era kept at home. Nothing 1s simpler Th« same i« true of poultry, eggs and dairy products. The tenant farmer presents perhaps the n*u 1 serious phage of the south's agricultural problem at tlds time and In the present crisis the most serious t that of marketing yet If It is taken In hand In time, it can lie very simply handled. Tin tenant farmer has raised cotton and depended upon cotton for two main reasons because, first, cotton has been the busts of farm rentals and has thus been a money crop; and. seeonl, be cause cotton will stand more neglect than any other crop. Tenant farmers prod 70 per cent of tlie south's en tire rot.ton crop# In the spring the tenant fanners will I e seeking advances again. They have been securing advances based upon so many bales of cotton. They have been l aying rents with cotton. If such advances ns are made tenant farmers next spring are made on 500 pounds, say, of hogs instead of f<oo pounds'of cotton, at so much a pound, end if farm rentals for the coming year are based on hogs rather Ilian cotton the tenant farmers will prSduee enough hog meat to keep many mil lions of dollars that now go west In tlie south It should be as easy and as simple THIS WEEK AT STRAND THEATRE HOME OF— PARAMOUNT PICTURES.

When the tenant farmers of the south begin raising hogs for the mar ket, they will at the seme time begin to grow corn to feed them, and they will have corn ns well as hogs to sell, the result being that the south will be producing Its own hogs and its own corn. The western farmers, who have fat tened off the southern farmers too long, will then tie forced to find anoth er market: and once the tenant, far mers of the south are firmly establish ed on this basis, at the Harne time mak ing their own food and supplies as well as a money crop, there will never again be danger of an overproduction of cotton necessitating that it be sold, if at all, st less than cost of prodUC- AN EXTRA C. & W.

Here It Is, with our thanks to The Sun; We take pleasure in answering at once and thus prominently tha communication below, expressing at the same time our great gratification that its faithful author Is number«d among the friends of The Sun: Dear Editor: I am S years old. Some of my little friends say there Is no Sat: i Claus. Papa says "if you see it In The Sun It's so." Please tell me the truth; Is there a Santa Claus'.’. 115 West Ninety-fifth street VIRGINIA O'HANLON. Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can he which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds. Virginia, whether they he men’s or children's, are little. In this great universe of ours man Is a mere Insect, nn ant, In his Intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the Intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge. Yes. Virginia, there Is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly ns love nnd generosity Hnd devotion exist, and you know that they abound nnd give to our life Its highest beauty and Joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world If there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then; no poet ry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no en joyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood Oils the world would be extinguished. Not believe tn Santa Claus! You might ns well not believe In fairies! You might get your r«P« to hire Sen to watch In all the chimneys an Christmas eve to catch Santa Claus, hut even If they did not see Santa Ulaus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there Is no Santa Claus. The most real things In the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not,'but that's no proof that they Hre not there. Nobody can conceive or Imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable In the world. You may tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise Inshle, but there Is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it nil real .' Ah. Virginia, In all this world there Is noth ing else real and abiding. No Santa Ulaus! Thank God! he lives, nnd he lives forever. A thou sand years from now. Virginia, nay, ten tunes ten thousand years from nc>w, he will continue to make guJ the heart of children. United States and from many foreign countries. He had saved the local pa pers for the past twenty years, over which time extended his entire collec tion. His newspapers filled two good sized rooms. His Investment In news papers alone amounts to more than 15,000. His idea of collecting so many news papers for the past generation was In the hope of some day presenting them, as a “newspaper library,” to the Uni versity of Texas, The Idea was indeed novel, but Mr. Redwood has been pre vented from carrying out his plan be cause it was impracticable to keep them on file correctly, as he Intended, He is leaving this abundance of news papers here with a friend, who will dispose of them In the most advisable way. Mr. Redwood was also a collector of books—miscellaneous books, books of travel, historical books, biographi cal books, etc. He is taking most ol these with him. He was s lover of hooks and read a great deal. Kver quiet and unassuming In hla manner, Mr. Redwood did a lot of good to the suffering In Augusta. It Is learned from a very intimate friend of ins that he has given liberally to char ity and has always preferred It kept secret. At his leaving Augusta, the sheer est good wishes are extended Mr. Red wood along with regrets equally sin cere because of his parting. Fourth Ward, U. L. Kent to be suc ceeded by L. S. Uavis.
