CALL FOR HaP ,
Men More Important than Resources, ,
Says President Barrett
i
WANTS BETTER SCHOOLS :
I
Government Should Spend from Fif- (
ty to One Hundred Millions Each 1
i
Year to Check the Trend From the <
{
Farm to the City by Providing
Good Country Schools.
i
At Atlanta, Ga., in sober, business
phraBes nearly four score delegatos, 1
appointed by sixteen Southern Governors,
Friday foretold an amazing
growth In wealth and population for ,
the South within the next ten years.
Representing the agriculture aui
business interests of every section
of Dixie, these delegates gathered to
assist the executive committee of the
Southern Commercial Congress work
out a non-political and disinterest- 1
ed plan for promoting development
of the 8outh's millions of unoccupied
acres and its vast unused watPi*
powers, the enlargement of its business
and industry, both by its own
inhabitants and through Judicious
advertising of its resources throughout
America and Europe.
As the representative of more
than two million farmers, Charles
S. Barrett, president of tbe Farmers'
Union, stressed the necessity of conserving
men first, rather than the resources
of the soil. "If you conserve
the nation's raw resources and neglect
the nation's men, you will meet
disaster and ultimate cleteat in your
undertaking," he said. "The nation
has not been conserving the farmer,
the man who is a greater asset
than all your powers, coal lands forests
or gold mines."
"A corterie of really patriotic
Americans is trying to head off the
efforts of the Morgan-Gubbenheim
interests to bottle up, or 'hog' the
coal and gold of Alaska. Tbey have
jsuoceeded in rousing a nation to
their assistance. We have had the
menace of Ballingerism placarded
from one end of America to the
other. We have been warned in
trumpet tones, of the encroaching
water power interests which may, in
the long run, absorb all the water
power of the country and in the
end become the king of all the other
trusts. We have been told of the
penalty of giving over our forests
to greedy timber interests. We have
been shown what will happen if we
do not checkmate the money lust
of <h? rnal. the eold and the timber
barons.
"This is all worthy, this is all
admirable. But while we battle
against these foes of the Republic,
we leave to his own devices the man
whose vital function it is to feed and
largely to clothe this nation, the
man whose combined product yield
- a greater annual value than our
mines or forests or water powers,
> the man whose problems will be
more than ever the nation's problems
when the earth shall have been
stripped of its coal and gold."
He said the Government should
spend fifty to one hundred million
dollars annually to check the trend
from the farm to the city by improving
common school and scientific
agricultural educational facilities
In every country, in easy reach of the
farmers' children. He would provide
against "the contamination of
the corrupt alien strains that sow
seeds of unrest and disreputation
| that may ripen unto a ruinous harvest."
Mr. Barrett stressed the necessity
of keeping a perpetual watch upon
our national and State Legislators.
"The battle for conservation is
not here in this auditorium. It comes
in the elections of November. It
oomes after that in the halls of
Congress. It comes two years hence.
in tne selection or a presiueni ana a
Congress that are committed to the
public and not the private welfare.
And then It comes year af'er year,
for conservation is so big a war that
It probably will not he endfd uniil
your children and mine stand in our
places."
'Mr. Barrett paid a warm tribute
to Gifford Pinchot to whoes "unselfish
public spirit, patience under
humiliation and untiring aeal," hp
attributed the present advaurelent
to the sause of nonservatiou. " 1
am confident," he 6aid, "that when
the verdict of history i6 written hie
name will stand high among the
names of the men who have wrougnt
for the salvation of our common
country." "
Postal Saving Banks
Postal savings banks opened Oct.
lBt. Whatever may have been the
conflict of views as to their desirability
they are now an accomplished
fact and doubtless will be a boon to
a large number of people who from
timidity have hidden their money in
clocks, under trees, below the kitchen
floor and in other places rather
than deposit it in banks. The saving
instinct does not. seem to be go
nrnnnunrpd in America as it is in
many other countries and if the
postal banks develop that instict it
will be a good thing. In Great Britain
10.000.000 depositors have over
$700,000,000 to their credit, an average
of $70 each. France comes next, (
with 4,000.000 depositors and is fol- j
lowed by Russia. Germany, Japan i
and many other countries. All this <
indicates industry, thrift and confi- i
dence. j

and laden with specie and merchanlise
She was sighted at sunrise from
th? masthead of the Centurion, and
Master Richard Walter. Anson's chaplain
and historian, tells us that "a
general joy spread through the whole
ship." Galleons nearly always cruised
in couples, and it was supposed another
must be near. The Centurion at
or.ce stood toward the Spaniard, and
before S o'clock her officers could see
the enonty from the deck. The firing
of a gun by the galleon was taken by
Anron's men to be a consort to make
haste and rejoin, and "to amuse the
I>ons" the Centurion herself fired a *
gun to leeward. But Don Geronimo

the prowess of his opponent.
The Spaniards knew they were fare to J
Tpcc with Anson and <hc Centurion, '
and cp?v were keen to flybt. Through- J
out the forenoon the two ships crept
closer and closer together, till by midday
only a league spparaicd them. J
Then the Nuestra Senora de Cabadonga
brought to under topsails, with
her head to the northward, and at the *
top-gallant masthead the standard of '
Spain was flying. *
Anson was not slow to accept the
challenge, and he laid his plans with
great foresight. Into the tops he senl (
30 picked men. the best small arms j
marksmen in the ship. His broadside ,
guns were manned only with two J
men eaeft, and to them he gave in- ,
structions to do nothing but load their
?un. The rest of the men were divided .
into gangs of 12, with orders to move |
up and down the battery for the sole (
)urpose of running out and firing the :
211ns as they were loaded. It was an i
inconventionsl way of fighting; con- (
'inuous independent Are was the last
thing the Spaniards expected, and It ^
threw them into as much confusion ,
3 did tiie disaster which overtooK- \
them within a few minutes of the (
opening of the fight. A mass of mats (
and hammocks in the netting of thi .
galleon caught fire, burning fiercely ^
and blazing up nearly as high as the j
nizz^n top. Tlie two ships worn practically

away and tumble the flaming mass ,
^erboard. and ill the mean wmle <
son's marksmen in the tops wore sub- j
jecting the galleon's upper decks to ao .
incessant fusiiade. Walter des< ribpf ,
the as "Drodieious havoc." and 1
adds that the marksouen succeeded in
"killing or wounding every officer but
one that appeared on the quarter deck,
and wounding in particular the goneral
of the galleon himself."
The fight raged in for two hour*.
Anson changing from round shout to
^rape in the second part ol the engagement
with deadly effect. The
hips w?Te so near that some of tac
Spanish officers were seen running
ribout with much assiduity to prevent
!.he desertion of their men from their
quarters, but all their endeavors were
in vain. After having a9 a last effort
fired five or six guns "with more
judgment than usual," they yielded up
the contest; and the galleon's colors
being burned off the ensign staff at
the beginning of the engagement, she
struck the standard at her main topgallant
masthead. The Centurion did
not escape undamaged; at the moment
the galleon struck Anson was informed
quietly that his ship was on fire near
the powder room. He received the
news with apparent emotion, and tak
ing care not to alarm nis people, gave j
the npce?sary orders for extinguishing j
the fire. t
The specie in the Nuestra Senora de
Canadonga included 1.313.843 pipces of
eight, and 35.682 ounces of virgin sil- j
ver. and the total value of the prize
was assessed at ?313.000. And in this
i
connection it is interesting to note

rich, well drained and In good mechanical
condition. This may be sufficiently
answered by sawing that
when Capt. Bunch took charge of
these lands they were considered of *
low value for agricultural purposes?
typical Richland sand, with a clay
3ubsoil, their fertility low and considerable
tracts swampy. If now thay
are among the most productive lands
In the South, rich and well drained, ~
it is simply because they have been
well used. Capt. Bunch has mixed
brains with his fertilizer?and his
knowledge of farming was not acquired
in college either. He is no
mere dabbler in agriculture. Last
year he made this fa\m, with its 250 "
acres uuder cultivation, yield $20,000.
"Capt. Bunch, you do not let your
land rest even at night," visitors have
frequently said, after an inspection
of the farm. It is true that every
acre is required to yield its maximum
and that constantly, but then Capt ~
Bunch for his part plays fair with
his soil. Crop-making constituents
taken from it this year are faithfully
returned to it the next.
Stable manure produced on the
place goes back into the soil. The
necessity of humus is never forgotten
The variety of crops grown is
not sufficient to permit of a four- I
crop rotation, but two exhausting 11
crops are never required of the same
tract in succession. The swampy
low grounds are tile drained. The
asylum farms gets a square deal and
responds with bumper crops. It has
?Djoyed Caj?t. Bunch's equal giveind-take
policy for 20 years and the
result is that it is a farm which
gladdens the heart of any man wno
jver loved the soil.
Capt. Bunch does not follow the
IVilliamsqn method of corn-growing.
'I would not be understood as contemning
it, though," he said Thursday
"For the lands on which it
vas originated, level, sartdy, Pee Dee
ioils, it is, I believe, the best sysem;
but to use it would be a misako
on lands of such tilth as these
lore. We tried it and found that
)n our farm it caused a decrease of "
25 to 35 bushels per acre below the
lormal yield."
It is figured that the ear corn
larvested from corn tracts on the
isylum farm Is clear profit, the expense
being met by the fodder, and
(talks and the ensilage yielded by
;rass and the peas broadcasted
hrough the crop. The bulk of the
nrn rrnn this season is nf the Marl
jcrotigh stock. Experiments with

it that, it is probably the best corn

And the value and interest of Capt. "
Bunch's exemplification of the gentle
irt of corn culture Is the greater for
he reason that it is on a large scale.
3apt. Bunch has not taken a selected

;xtravagantly upon artificial manures ""
ind endeavored to force a prize yield ^
without reference to the cost per
Dushel of the product. Such examples
have little practical value as
contributions to the sum of agricultural
knowledge. Capt. Bunch has
taken a problem such as every farmer
faces; he has had in mind, juef
is the private planter has, the showing
of a balance on the right side of
the ledger at harvest time, and he
has worked it out with just labor,
tools, machinery, seed and fertilizer
as the average farmer planting on "
this scale has. ^
