RAISING CROPS IS k BUT HALF OUR JOB b , i laOne looking over a file of almost g any farm paper of ten or even five It years ago cannot but be impressed tl by the improvement in the quality ja of farm papers generally in the Inst *1 few years. Farm papers are better a edited, better ilustrated and, we believe, more practical and helpful u right now than at any time in the ^ past. !sl Another thing which no observant ^ reader can miss is the increased attention that is being given to the j ' - business side of farming?to the | ^ marketing of the things raised asl , Ol well as to how to raise things, to the i j planning of the farm as well as to j ^ the methods of performing farm work, to the management of the farm labor as well as to the ways of i ^ doing farm jobs. This change, in part through about! ci by the efforts of the more progres-1 ^ sive farm papers and in part brought cl about by the changing attitude of the farmers themselves, in plain evidence of a wholesome change in the farm viewpoint.

The fa reat reason farmers have been so 1 >ng coming into their own is that fc ley have, as a class, been working g t only half their job.

HE SOUTH AND THE NEGRO PRIOR TO 1860 Manufacturers Record, Baltimore.) Many phases of Southern life bejre the war are "wholly misunder:ood, are unknown by vast major;y of Northern and Western people, his is pre-eminently true as to slavry and the relation between the hites and blacks before 1860. In a " :tter to the Baltimore Sun, Elizabeth >avisson of Washington gives some iteresting facts as;follows: - ' v< "The protestant churches in the louth before the war were doing a wonderful work for the industrial nd" spiritual development of the olored race; $4,000,000 had already ?een spent by them for churches ilone and 1,000,000 of the race were ommunicants of the different , Pro esiant denominations ai tnai nine, ily father was one of the clergymen :n gaged in this work, and he left me k beautifully erigraved silver goblet, lated 1854, given to him by the .colored people whom he was instructing n spiritual things. "The people in the South who wee ngaged at that time in giving the iegro industrial and religious training believed that they were preparing urn later to go back to Africa and :ivilize and Christianize his own ontinent. "From the beginning of the repubic there was a feeling throughout the iouth favorable to emancipation as oon as it could be done without dan er to ail concernea. mere were si ne time over 100 abolition societies i the South; one State alone, Virinia, had 22 laws on her statute ooks bearing on the subject, and here were 100,000 emancipated laves in the South before the war etween the States. And if the abotion propaganda in the North had] ot aroused opposition by its unjust! ^representations and denunciations' f slaveholders, the border States' rould have brought complete emanci-j ation' about several years before i le war commenced. "As it is, the freeing of the ne-ij ro, 'as a war measure,' by Mr. Lin-;B oln, with the expressed purpose of I reating a servile insurrection be- I ind the Confederate '.ines, though it|H ailed of its immediate purpose?that creating a servile insurrection on| ccount of the friendly relations that J xisted at that time between the two, aces?has estranged the negro fromi is best friends and resulted disas- j rously for both races.
