DR. E. Y. MULLINS
President Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary, Who is Touring South.
Following the close of the second
year of tho Baptist 75 Million Campaign
April 30, several thousand messengers
from the local churches are
expected to a?6emble at Chattanooga,
Tenn.. for the seventy-sixth annual
session of the Southern Baptist Convention.
The Convention met in
Chattanooga last in May, 1906, and
during the interim there has been a
marked growth in every department
of the Convention's activities and in
the numbers and work of the local
churches aB well. Tho total number of
"Baptists reported to the Convention in
1906 was 1,S5'5.7S4, while last May,
fourteen years later, when the body
met in Washington, the total member ship
of the local churches as reported
was 2.961 348. or a gain of 1,105,564.
'The returns for this year are not yet
available, but inasmuch as it is known
there were practically 175.000 additions
to the local churohes last year
by baptism alone, there is every reason
to helievg the showing for 1021
will be even harper.
Growth shown in All Lines.
At the same time there has been a
marked increase in the membership
of the churches, there has been a distinct
advance in all. departments of
local and denominational work, It Is
set out. The total number of local
churches has grown from 20,129 in
1906 to 25,303 in 1920; the total number
of Sunday Schools from 11,332 to
iters* ^ 17.686; and the number, of Sunday
inch weftob??l pupils from S57.244 to 1,835,iters
lefL^&i cn increase of more than 100 per
r exgr"'cent. The value of local church propha||f
erty has mounted from $4,501,122 In
Wf 1906 to $74,273,728 in 1920, an increase
of more than 1600 per cent, while contributions
to missions and benevolences
in 190C were $1,501,369.67, as
nntnnoi-arl In *7 771 Ofifi SK in 1 OOA on
advance of practically 500 per cent.
Fourteen years ago the contributions
to all purposes in a year were $5,941,283.44.
as against $21,327,446.67 for
1920.
Next Meeting Important.
The approaching session of the
Convention Is regarded as vitally Important
to the future of the denominatA's
work. It Is hoped that by the 1
Cmlvention two-fifths of all subscriptions
to the 7?'Million Campaign will
have been paid In cash and that the
program for the completion of the
remainder of the campaign task can
tyj formulated at *hls time. Dr. J. B.
4(j?)hroll, president of the Convention,
. Dr. E. Y. Mulllnr. who recently
completed a tour of Europe, where
they carried frate'-tiul pieetings to the
Baptists of that continent, will give
their impressions of Baptist opportunity
in tha' country, while Dr. Oeorge
W. Truet and Dr J F Love, who rep>
resented the Foreign Mission Board
at the London Coofe-ence last summer
when the mission fields of Europe
were considered, will tell of the newterritory
of Spain. Jugoslavia. Hun
gary, Tloumania and Southern Russin.
? v which Southern Baptists are asked to
^occupy. Thin territory is as large as
V the Southern States and has a population
of 12S.000.000.
) All the boards of the Convention
will report the largest year's aceonipllsmments
In their history, the Home
Mission Hoard being scheduled to report
the completion of its million do!
lar loan fund for church building, in
addition to the aiding of a thousand
churches during the year with gifts
and loans for the erection of new
houses of worship. The Sunday School
Board will report more than $1,000,010
In sale? ?or the year and with collections
as well as sales better than at
?*ny previous time in its history.

the Farmer Is to Ob- s
tain Profits j
^ r* ^ui^octo^ j. ^N. |
ly said that de- i
J. N. ilAtti'KU flation of prices t
had hurt the farmer more than any '
other class, and that ott thia account '
the farmer is entitled to every consid j
eration within reason.
, >
At such a time as this when the j
farmer is facing the problem of which ]
crops to crow, and how much he can ?
venture to spend in their production, j
Mr. Harper says, that he, as a farm r.t
himself, knows that it is the most dif- t
ficult situation of the kind lie has ever I
confronted. 1
This is the way this agricultural |
authority figures out the proposition j
of profitable crop production in 1921: (
"Grow enough food and food crops ;
to supply as far as possible the needs i
of the family, the tenants and live- t
stock. Then pick out the kind of cash t
crops that seem to offer the best pros- >s
pects. | i
"Cotton will always be one of the
beBt cash crops that a Southern farm- (
er can grow. No cotton farmer can .
afford to throw cotton aside alto- ,
gether. ,
"But cotton should not be the only ,
I cash crop. It would only be another j
1 caec of carrying all the eggs in one Jt
j basket. It is better to go to market i 1
with more than one crop. Among I'
j these other crops are peanuts, legume \y
hays, tobacco, sweet potatoes, sugar j'
cane, sorghum, rice and perhaps other 1
crops. In addition there should be *
1 a gradual adding, us means will allow. ,
j of more livestock, beginning with hogs
.preferably and taking on other aui- ,
mals as soon as possiblo. . |j
"In facing the problem of profitable J
crop production for the year 1921, two
facts must be considered. (1) Crop
prices are Vow. (2) Crop producing
expenses have not fallen correspond
ingly.
"The farmer must remember thai 1
: when crop prices are low. it takes
I more of the crops to cover the production
cost. This narrows the mar;
gin of profits. Therefore, if a farmer
does not look well to keeping up his
acre yields, there will be no margin
left above the cost of production.
"Always, the most expensive yields
i are the low yields and the most re- !
I munerative are the high yields. If
there are losses to he sustained, as ;
was the case in 1920, the farmer who i
grew the greatest yields per acre lost
j least.
"A safe and sane policy that needs i
especial emphasis for 1921, is: 'Guard
your profits with high acre yields.'
This involves good preparation of the
' se<Jd bed, the use of high producing
seed, liberal fertilization and thorough
cultivation. A neglect to employ any 1
one of these to the proper extent may !
mean that the farmer will find himself
poorer at the end of the season
than at the beginning.
"Labor is the greatest item of cost
in producing a crop yield. It must .
be used to the extent of thorough culi
tivatlon. Fertilizers are next in the j(
list of cost items. Since high yields j
per acre are so essential in times of !
; low prices of crops, and since fertilizers
increase acre yields more than any
' thing else, they cannot bo reduced in
1921. In fact, it may be that they will
have to be depended upon more than
ever, to make acre y'.elds that will (
be profitable.
"An Investment in good seed is one I .
of the best that a farmer can make |
at any nme. I
"In a word, this is a time for farm j'
' efficiency, faith aftd courage. Thest
' virtues exercised, the farmer will
emerge from the post-war struggle vie ,
| toriously."
CALCIUM ARSENATE TREATMENT ,
An idea of the benefit gained by !'
application of the calcium arsenate j|
treatment developed and recommend-'
ed by the United States Department !'
of Agriculture against the cotton-boll J'
weevil is found in the expedience of '
a large planl?T at Tallulah, La. With .<
the exception ol certain test plats, the- ,1
man's entire acreage was dusted with i'
calcium arsenate, the cost being $').20 i
an acre. He obtained an average yield
of 1,215 pounds of seed cotton to the
acre on the land surrounding the test
plats, while these unpoisoued test ;
plats averaged only 300 pounds, or
about 25 per c?nt of the yield on the
polaoned rot tor.. Thus his net profii
from poisoning on these areas on
sales made before declining prioea ot
I cotton vaa about $120 an acre.

Mr. Kinp may take another step in (

aould not announce what this step
votild be when seen yesterday.
A False Alarm.
Information from Columbia today
o the effect that the danper of Bip-i

;iven by Mr. Kinp. it was said, was

in Columbia in plenty of time
