U. S. Mission to Reform World. Gorham, N. H., Aug 5.-The new .mission of America will be to reform' the world and lead men away from warfare. President Harding had this startling message to give to disabled service men whom he visited at a hospital here tonight. I want this country to be a god -fearing and righteous country. I want an' America that will reform the world and teach men that it is not good to make warfare. I believe this is going to' be the mission ,of our America." This dramatic utterance constitut ed a day of speech making during which the president constantly refer red to the hope of civilization was placing in the disarmament confer ence this fall. Leaving his vacation home at Pros pect Mountain early this morning the president covered close to two hun -dred miles before he returned after dark. The party made a rapid trip north to Dixville Notch, close to the Canadian border where the senato rial foursome played golf. After lun cheon the party started homeward. All these towns en route were wait ing for the president to pass and he .frequently stopped to make a brief address. At Gorham where he spoke in the hospital for tubercular service men the president for the first time ex plained his stand in side tracking the soldier bonus. First Consideration. "There has been a lot of criticism Sately because the president and con gress passed the consideration of the compensation bill. I want to tell these men who are the wards of the .government that the reason was ithat we all believe that we owed our j?rst consideration to the men im paired in the service. It is some com pensation in itself to have the un speakable experience of defending one's country and then returning -whole in mind and body. "But it is a very different thing for the young man who goes out and in the service finds himself impaired and I want America first of all to do everything that can be done to make them whole." President Harding told the patients merer to rose hope, that theirs was amit an incurable disease. "I hope that you not only entirely recover your he?lth but your place in the ac tivities ?f American life." This is the last day of the presi dent's vacation in the White Moun tains. He \will leave early tomorrow ?for Portland, Maine, by way of Po land Springs. The party expects to make the 140 miles by motor and im mediately upon their arrival will board the Mayflower' for the return trip to Washington. Free Seeds and Petty Politics. The agricultural appropriation bill .carries an item of $240,000 for the distribution of small packages of gar den and flower seed to the voters of the nation. For many years the Sec retaries of Agriculture have made an effort to eliminate this item and if possible either save that amount of money for the people or use it in .connection with more serious and val uable work of the department. Con gress, however, has always refused the request of the Secretary and again in 1921 when the nation is j straining every resource to raise mon ey with which to pay legitimate debts Congressmen insisted on having the usual seed graft. Any member of Congress who still believes that the receipt of a pack age of miscellaneous seed, none of which are of more than ordinary val ue, wilt make a voter, whether city or rural, believe that he has received a special favor, is hardly smart enough to represent his constituents. The voters in his district 'have been wise to the graft for many years and the receipt of a few seeds has no influence with him in the least de .gree. As the distribution of free seed has no other object than to fool the voter into believing that his Con gressman has remembered him per-J sonally and is working his head off for him, and as the veter is not fooled in the least, then why. continue the free seed practice? Distribution of 'free seed, as it is now practiced, is an insult to the intelligence of the .voters.-Farm & Ranch. _ / NOTICE. All creditors of the estate of N. L. Branson, late of said county and I state, deceased, will render an ac count of their demands, duly attest ed and all debtors will pay amount ?due by them, to the undersigned Ex ecutor of estate at his home at Cle ora, S. C. \ D. D. BRUNSON, Executor. Cleora, S. C. June 21, 1921. Will . Discuss Disarmament. Yielding to the demands of the people President Harding has at last invited the powers to send represent atives to Washington for the purpose of discussing the question of disarm ament, or at least a stay in the prep aration of new building program. Not only have citizens of all class es in the United States made known their desire for a reduction of taxes and the National debt through cut ting down the expenses of war prep aration, but the peoples of Europe, much harder pressed for the neces sities of life and burdened with even greater taxes with less ability to pay, are also anxious for some agreement which will eventually result in re duced armament. If the full wishes of the people of the world are complied with an agree ment will be reached which will cut the cost of military preparations more than 75 per cent. To expect this, however, is to invite disappoint ment. Great Britain officially, contin ues to harbor the idea that a large navy is necessary to keep the empire intact. Leaders at Washington have made up their minds that the United States should, not be satisfied with any navy of less power than that owned by Great Britain. Japan feels that if the United States continues to'build battleships, she will of ne cessity have to follow suit. If these leaders go into the conference with those ideas uppermost in their minds, not much in the way of reduced arm ament will be accomplished. We may at least hope that the discussion will be open and free from jealousies and that the representatives of the powers will go into the matter with the in tention of doing their part in re lieving the world of the consequences of this mad race for military and naval supremacy.-Farm and Ranch. Two Kinds of Farmers. In a recent communication to Farm and Ranch it was stated that there were two kinds of farmers, one who continually directed his efforts to wards getting a maximum acreage production by building up the fer tility of his soil, and the other who mined his soil, taking from it all he can get without putting anything back. The miner farmer is found in every neighborhood. He can be spotted by the general run down condition of his farm; his shiftless appearance; and his pessimistic attitude on' every question. As a general rule he does not fread a farm paper or even a newspaper. He is always poor and given much to cussing the Govern ment. He is a one cropper by nature; talks about working sixteen hours a day twelve months in the year when as a matter of fact he spends more time going to town than he does in his field. He is a failure on the farm and the only place he can make a re spectable living is on the jo|) in town where the boss has the brams and a determination to make him speed up. The other kind of a farmer never cultivates a greater acreage than he can take care of himself or hire tak en care of without at least having an even chance to make a profit. His plan is to make his land more produc tive each year. He plants a variety of crops and never two that require his attention at one time. He has one good dairy cow or more and never goes to town to buy butter. He has a flock of chickens and takes care of them. He has eggs and poultry to eat and some to sell. He has a good gar den and orchard. He also has a smoke house and kills much of his own meat. He grows feedstuffs and has enough hogs and cattle to eat them. This kind of a farmer studies his soil needs and if necessary will turn undef sweet clover, cowpeas or other green crops. He is not adverse to listening to other people's opinions; consults his county agent and studies results of the work of experiment farms. By growing much of his own living he is able to sell his surplus at the top of the mar ket. Fortunately the latter class of far mers are becoming more numerous in the Southwest.-Farm and Ranch.

(Prepared by the United States D?part aient o? Afiiiculture.) More than SOO replies have been re ceived from practical stock breeders and owners In response to a question naire sent out by the United States Department of Agriculture In an effort to determine the cause and possible means of preventing runts in ; live stock. The large number of replies, department specialists say, Indicates the Interest which stock breeders feel in this subject. Some of the ques tions asked In the questionnaire are: "From your experience, in what classes of live stock do the most runts appear (cattle, hogs, sheep, etc.)?" "In what stage of an animal's devel opment does runtiness appear chiefly?" "In your experience what are the most Modern Example ' of Poor Breeding and Inferior Care. practical methods of preventing runts?" "Does lt pay to raise runts to market size?" "To what extent would your financial returns from live stock be increased If you had no runts?" The replies thus far received show that Inferior breeding and poor feed-. lng are jointly responsible for nearly two-thirds of the runts among live stock, and indicate that at least 7 per cent of farm live stock Is commonly In the runty class. Detailed data on the times when runtiness appears, financial losses caused by runty stock, methods of prevention, when < it pays and when It does not pay to raise runty stock are now being prepared by the department for distribution to the public. GET FIGURES ON PUREBREDS Bureau Of Census Completing-Tabula tion for States Not Yet Shown In Reports. On account of the great Interest which the United States Department of Agriculture finds has been shown ID census figures of purebred live stock in ten representative farm states, the bureau of the census is proceeding with plans to comp.'ate the tabulation for the remaining states. This work is receiving the hearty co-operation of the United States Department of Agri culture. Live stock specialists of the department regard such figures as very valuable as factors In production problems, and as indicating develop ments In the improvement of domestic animals in this country. It Is understood that the final census figures pertaining to purebred live stock on farms will be available at the same time the general live stock fig ures are furnished. It Is thought that this will be some time during the com ing summer. Breeders and breeders' associations Interested In this work have already Indicated their apprecia tion of the value*of the figures thus far available. It is the first time In the history of any country that accurate figures on the total number of purebred animals on farms bave been compiled. CARE AND FEEDING OF STOCK Vermont Live Stock Owner Says' Cause of Runts ls Due to Neglect Dur ing First Year. In contributing his experiences on the cause of runty live stock in a re cent inquiry conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture, a Vermont farmer urges greater care In the early life of domestic animals. "When people can be educated to the proper care and feeding of stock,'* he declares, "the runt will be practically wiped out. The reason, perhaps, why there are not so many runts In pure- j bred herds as in others is because the j man who cares what kind of stock he j keeps cares enough to care for them better." He concludes that one of the principal factors in the cause of runty j live stock ls the man who has the care | of them the first year.
