Jtkii \r> m The jindustrial and commercial South has made marvelous progress within the past few years and it may he that a part at least of this pro gress has been made at the expense of tVie agricultural South. Today we find our towns and vil lages‘crowded, with never a vacant house anywhere and yet in the rural tections we find many acres Idle for the lahjt of laborers. But who Is to blame for laborers leaving the farm? Since the Civil war, this country has been without a definite agricultural policy and has been dominated throughout by a pol icy of Industrialism, and billions of dollars have been lost to Southern farmers through the suicidal national policy of encouraging low price cot ton .In order that a few manuc-autnr- rrs might get their raw material at a low -price. History Is merely repeating itself— excess of urbanism was the ruin of Rome..’ and modern costiliness Is bora of ovfer development of com- mercialtem. Luxuries and the wants of the many multiply and the produc tiveness of the field falls, for the want of labor, to keep pace. It will take more> than a congressional-edict lo solver the high cost of living prob lem, it will take a definite and per manent National policy to stimulate agriculture to euch an extent as to asm- sure its growth and prosperity, for no longer will sensible men toll from sim to %un only to end their lives where they began them In penury and poverty. ’ It it^-very true that farming has proven profitable during the past three yeprs and yet it is a fact, borne borne put by the last report of the United States Department of Agri culture that farm work and nroduc- tiveness Is being seriously decreas- ed. The report shows that spring plow ing and planting for South Carolina is 17 per cent less than for the past ten year average, and 11 per cent leas for the ehtlre United States. Fully two per cent of the wheat crop in the state has been abandoned and the estimated yield is thirty five thous and bushels Jess than that of last year, and that of the entire counry is efitimated at 33 per cent less than the ciop of 1919- Hall Caine, famous novelist and pluywrlghter, born in the Isle of Man. 67 years ago today.

Tills “University of Humanity" is known as the Salvation Army Training College. It was a dream of the foun der of the Army, General William Booth. The realization of bis dream Is a brick and brownstone building upon a height on the outskirts of New York city, a modern building with a lecture room, class rooms, six study rooms, sitting rooms, dormitories and offices. Commander Evnzgellue Booth, daughter of the man who dreamed it, dedicated the building. She stood upon the steps, her staff about her, while rank upon ■ rank of bonneted Army lassies and uniformed officers marched past to the music of a Salvation Army band. Later In the lecture room she Interpreted the Ideals of the new col lege, while the portrait of her fa.iher, the General, looked down upon this new advance of his forces. Here will he trained the 500 men and women that the Salvation Army needs for officers. They will rise to the bugle call, study In the classrooms and In the homes of the unfortunate; do their own work, that they may be ready to help in whatever way they may be needed. Then they will go out Into the slums of American cities and to far countries where other divisions of the Army are working.
