FARM INSTRUCTION
UR6EDBY LEVER
Congressman Makes Flea Before
Soil Fertility League
for More Scientific Agricultural
Methods.
Chicago, 111., July 11Congressman
A. F. Lever of South Carolina,
rhairman of the House committee on
agriculture and author of the Lever
agricultural extension bill, was the
guest of honor at the Union League
club yesterday at a luncheon of the
National Soil Fertility league. He
advocated direct education of the individual
farmer with a view to conserving
the soil resources of the
United States, before a large gathering
of financial leaders, economists
and agricultural educators.
That the latest investigations of government.
ovnorfs show a decrease in
proportion to population in recent
years the amount of grouDd devote d
to the raising of food products was
disclosed. Statistics were quoted to
prove that the farm land in America
is producing only one-third as much
per acre as land in Europe which has
produced crops for more than 1,000
; years.
The famous advice of Horace Greeley
to the young men of America was
reversed by the Congressman, who declared
that the land of prosperity for
the youth of this generation is the
awakening South.
"During the earlv history of this
nation there wa9 more or less attention
paid to agriculture by the government
heads," said Congressman
Lever. "Washington, Jefferson and
other early Presidents endeavored to
stimulate a proper regard in the
mind9 of the people toward agricultural
conservation, but nothing was
done in the way of federal support of
the agricultural industry of this country
until the passage of the Morrill
act in 1862, establishing the land grant
for state agricultural colleges. Twenty-five
years later came the experiment
stations. Now we propose to
establish and maintain a public service
of tremendous value to every interest
in the land when we place a
skilled farm demonstrator in every !
agricultural connty.
"The Lever agricultural exter-rion j
bill, which has the unqualified and \
keenly active support ot the National i
Soil Fertility league, provides for this i
service, the federal government ap- 1
propriating a sufficient fund, also the 1
states, and apportioned according to ?
the rural population. From observa- J
tion of foreign and occasional domestic
application of these methods it ?
will be a tremendously profitable investment.
4'I desire to say a word for my own
section of the country. If Horace '
Greely were here today, I am satisfied, *
with his keen observation and practi- '
r>ftnr>ontmn r?f fr/hintrs that- inafpaH :
VUX wuvvyv*v?* V*
of his famous utterance, "Go West,
young man, and grow up with the
country,' he would turn and say, 'Go
South, young man.'
Here we see 100,000 people each year
going into Western Canada, yet we
have in the South millions of acres of
magnificent farm land as good as anywhere
in the United States, which
could be purchased at from $5 to $12
an acre, and I assert on absolute proof
and record that we can produce as r
much grain and raise as much live {
stock of as fine a grade as anywhere j
in the United States.
"In my own state of South Carolina
we hold the corn producing record per
acre of the United States; in my own <
* * ? * i? ? 0
state we nave tne original anaua- j
growing tract of land. Yonr great j
Western ranges haye been ccit up and
are being cut np into farms, and the
South will become the natural and
radical meat producing section of the
United States.
"Our race and labor problems nature
can take care of itself. All this agitation
and disturbance is due to th*
individual endeavoring to make capital,
ana is largely and almost invariably
the effort of some local disturber
or demagogue. We ask you Northern (
and Western DU9ines8 men ana community
leaders to support the Lever
agricultural extension bill?to help
us, and we will help you. Turn the
tide of immigration, keep our people
under the old flag. Come South and
we "will welcome you and we will
make you rich."
President H. H. Gross reviewed the
i wort oi the league during tne ia9t two
years, in which its principal efforts
have been devotea to the support of
the Lever agricultural extension bill
which in a measure provides for the
establishment and maintenance in
every agricultural county in the
United States of a skilled farm adviser,
who will bring to the individual
farmer the fund of valuable knowledge
gathered and developed by the
| Department of Agriculture, the state
j agricultural colleges and the state ex
perirneut stations. Mr. Gross expressed
the belief that the measure '
would pass Congress at the present
session, or without ^:ouot in the early
days of the next regular session.
PLAN EXTENSION"
Of KEl POST
THE IMPROVEMENT IN SYSTEM
AND REDUCTION IN RATES
ANNOUNCED.
IS A LONG STEP FORWARD
Postal Exnerts Estimate That The
Proposed Changes Will Add to Revenue
of Department?First Step Toward
Universal Extension.
Washington.?Plans for the extension,
improvement ana reduction in
rates of the parcels post were announced
by Postmaster General Burleson.
The changes, which are to become
effective on August 15, include
an increase from 11 pounds to 20
pounds in the maximum weight of
parcels; a material reduction in the
postage rates in the first and second
yones, and the abandonment of the
parcel post map as a means of computing
rates and the substitution for
it of a rate charge individualized to
? ?- " ?f K ft Tt *-> i f/-vrl Oto f OO
ever) pUSLUmuc III lUC \J micu
The plans contemplate the purchase
of a large number of automobiles to
be used exclusively Tor the delivery
of parcel post matter.
While,1 for the present, the maximum
weight limit of 20 pounds and
the reduction in rates will apply only
to the first and second zones, from
any given postoffice a distance of
about 150 miles?the change directed
constitute tne iirst long siep lowarus
a universal extension of the s;. stem
and a general reduction in the rates
of postage, on parcel matter.
"It is my expectation and belief,"
said Postmaster General Burleson,
"that eventually?and it may be 15 or
20 years?the postal service will
handle practically all of the small
package transportation business in
the United States. The maximum
weight limit, extended now from 11
to 20 pounds, I expect to see increased
to 100 pounds and experience may
demonstrate the practicability of
handling the parcel business at even
lower rates than we now propose.
?-*- *-- ? -?- ? 1 A
"in me luaxnig 01 eAieuBiuns auu
reductions of rates it is necessary for
3s to proceed with caution, so as to
ifford ample opportunity to prepare
Jor the increased business. For that
eason we have made the changes
proposed apply only to the first and
>econd zones. I appreciate fully the
(entiment for an increase in the
weight limit and a reduction in)
ates to all zones, but it Is necessary
or us, in a sense, to feel our way."
National Policy Toward Nicaragua.
Washington.?A new policy toward
Nicaragua involving the actual con;rol
of affairs of that republic by the
Jnited tSates through a protectorate
similar to that exercised over Cuba,
ras outlined by Secretary Bryan, at
l private conference with members of
he senate foreign relations commitee.
Mr. Brvan's nroDOsal. coming as
i complete surprise to most of the
uembers of the committee, has been
aken by many senators as the first
>ronouncement of a general policy
,n the part of the administration to
attend American control over the
jountries surrounding the . Panama
:anal, and to assure that stability of
Central American republics and the
lomination of the United States of
heir relations with other great
powersThe
Father of the Trolley.
Stephen Dudley Field, known as
'the father of the trolley," died at
lis home in Sfcockbridge, Mass., on
May 18, at the age of 67. He was the
nephew of Cyrus W. Field, who laid
the first Atlantic cable. Hi? first work
with the electric car was in 1880, when
tie built an experimental line on nis
own grounds in the town of Stockbridge.
His car took current from a
central third rail. He also took out
patents on conduit and trolley sysbemst
One of the earliest inventions
was the hotel annunciator, the first
one of which was installed in the
Palace Hotel, San Francisco, in the
early sixties. In 1874 he produced
the multiple call district telegraph
box, and in 1879 created a revolution
in telegraphy by the invention of the
dynamo. The following year he developed
the dynamo quadruplex telegraph,
and in 1909 he applied his system
to the cable between Key West
and Havana. He was also active as
a pioneer in long-distance telephony
and electric lighting.?Scientific American.

How to Cure Pea Hay.
Begin mowing when the peas turn
yellow in the pods. Mow in the morni
ings till neon ; if possible, run a tedder
right after the mower to keep the hay
tossed up and hasten the wilting. Rake
into windrows that afternoon. Next
morning turn the windrows with the
rake while the mowers are running on
other parts. That afternoon put this
hay into cocks as narrow and tall as
will stand well. Then, as soon as you
can take a handful of the hay and
twist it and can wring no sap to the
twi t, haul the hay to the barn and
let it settle with its own weight with- |
ont tramping, and then let it alone
and it will cure all right. If it heats
some, let it heat. If von go to stirring =
it to cool you will let in germs of
mold from the air and will have moldy
hay.
Now, I have cured it in this way
many years and never made any moldy
hay, but had it come ont with the
leaves on and green in color, and far
better feed than the usual assortment

the hay lie in the sun to bleach and
the leave3 to get dry and crisp. In
fact, I have found curing peavine hay
as easy as any other hay if you simp y
let it cure and do not "monkey" with
all sorts of scaffolds and contrivances
that merely dry the hay and lose the .
leaves, the best part of the hay.?W.

be judged from ail incident that occurred
in the shop of a celebrated astronomical
instrument maker.
A patron asked what would be the
price of "a perfect straight edge of
glass 36 inches long."
"It cannot be made perfect," said
the instrument maker; "but it could
probably be made with a limit of error
amounting to only a fraction of a
wave length of light."
"How much would that cost?"
"About forty thousand dollars."
It turned out that the customer
wanted the straight edge for a scraper
and that an error of on? sixty-fourth of
an inch would not bother him.
A Good Investment. I
W. D. Magil, a well known merchant
of Whitemound, Wis., bought a
stock of Chamberlain's medicine so a9
to be able to supply them to his customers.
After receiving them he was
himself taken sick and says that one
small bottle of Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was
worth more to him than the cust of
his entire stock of these medicines.
