New Farming System Needed in The South Atlanta, Ga., August 11.?A new system of agriculture, based on the general adoption of mixed farming, more attention to soil conservation, and development of timber resources through protection from forest fires, is needed in Georgia and other states of the South, if they are to make the most of their agricultural opportunities, Roland Turner, general agricultural agent of the Southern Railway System declared in an address before the 82nd annual meeting of the Georgia State Agricultural .Society at Macon. Mixed farming, according to Mr. Turner, should emlbrace the production of staple crops, with dairying, poultry, hog and sheep raising as side lines to yield a cash income throughout the year. Soil conservation which is an a/b~ solute essential for successful farming was declared most easily attainable as a by-product of mixed farming. Mr. Turner stated as an axiom that no crop can l>o produced at a profit on poor, worn out, washed lands. The agricultural wealth of all the Southern States can be greatly increased by the prevention of tires which destroy young trees and retard the growth of older stock, said Mr. Turner, who added that farmers are just beginning to realize the value of their woodlands. Attention to these three features throughout the South, Mr. Turner said, will to a very large degree, solve the agricultural problem. !

Tin .-trength of the once proud nation i.us dwindled through diaeaao and deprivation. The if. liana need horses, sanitation, ine,di<ul attention and education, but the older Indians have little eonftdertee .n the white man or anything of his creation, Jos.e Billy, chief of the largcat of the -even tribes in the Glades, and a grand "n of the famous Billy Bowlegs. reasons that the hope of his tiiix- adaptaibility of the new standi! r<i.- mat have circumscribed it. Me iias adopted some of the hatbita winch are looked on with abhorrence by the more conservative Indians. He reads and writes. He has traveled, and he beHeves schools do more than anything else for his people. Th4 younger Seminoles under his leadership are gradually becoming more tolerant of civilized habits. Josie Billy is a marked contrast to his father, Billy Conopatchee. Conopatchee was educated by Capt. F, A. Hendry, yet wthen he returned to the Everglades his hostility to the white man and the white man's customs hud increased. H. A. Hendry, nephew of Captain Hendry, is a life-long friend of Josie Billy and agrees that the chieftain's plans are wise. "The federal government has push, ed the Indians as far as they can go and has never taken care of them as it should." .Hendry says. "Appropriations have been made but they have been inadequate. With a pittanc# from the government the Seminoles have to work for an income, and that's a difficult task in the Everglades. They depend on an income from alligator skins and other pelts, but extinction of these species threatens to curtail that." Disease has taken a heavy toll among the Indians, and Hendry believes they will continue to ravish the people of the Everglades until they can be taught sanitation, provided with homes and given medical attention. At present there is not a practicing physician available to the Indians. The ordinary household is equipped with a single pot in which all th'*r cooking is done, one wooden spoon, and three or four blankets. The house itself consists of four upright poles which support a palmetto thatch. There are no walls nor floors and the Indians sleep on the ground throughout the rainy seasons. Josie Billy does believe the Seminoles will accept a reservation from the < government. One has been provided, but only four families remain on it. The land is poor. The Seminoles, according to Hendry. are the most virtuous people on earth and the most loyal to their own' race. They were the last Indians in the United States to recognize the government. Until about six months ago they lived without interference of any outd side agency. When Charley Tiger Trali was tried for killing Chief Billy Conopatchee government authorities sought to bring him into court. Tho Indians, resisting this effort, tried him in their own fashion and executed him before officers could tiiNe him into custody. During the tropical storm which swept Florida in 1926 none of the Seminoles were killed and few were injured. The explanation was simple to their own primitive tribesmen. "Saw grass bloomed," they said. When they saw that they went deep into the forests to wait until after the storm. t Flour of Long Ago The Charleston Courier of d .te 100 years ago, Sunday, August 12, 192S, carried the following m ws i te m: 11 afford- us pleasure to state that a load of superfine flour of excel out quality, arrived, by canal boat, nd was sold immediately for $6.

The boy had run away with the show, the parents were told. Hut he warned a job us an acrobat or a clown right away. That being impossible, I.eroy was olfered a place as "ass'anl chambermaid" for the elephants and camels. That or nothing. He took the job but stayed only a few days, then left, intimating he would join some circus "that would give a fellow a chance." Week after week the Birminghums made inquires from all the circuses they could get in touch with. But I.eroy could not be found. Winter came without word from him. The next summer the parents again tried all the circuses they could reach, but with no better results. One year after another passed without word of any kind from the boy. The other evening the parents were watching a movie. Mrs. Birmingham suddenly clutched her husband's arm as she saw a thin, boyish figure walk into one of the scenes of the picture.' "That's Leroy," she gasped, "I'd know him anywhere." Her husbund wasn't so sure. The name of the young player appeared in the cast as "Allan Whitney." Mrs. [ Birmingham was just as positive as i before that it was her boy. The parents communicated with the \ew York office of the producing company which in turn made inquires at the studio where the picture was produced. A few days later came this telegram. "Allan Whitney is your long lost son, Leroy." This was followed by a letter from Leroy himself. Like the prodigal son of old he was anxious to come home again although he had finally made-a ' -uccess in the movies. For four ' years he had been a nameless mem- ' her of the movie mobs, living a hand- 1 to-mouth existence. Then the direc tor took a chance one day and picked ; him out of the mob for an important role. That is the picture in which his 1 parents saw him and he is now in The preacher was out on the links and thought a small moral lesson might not be amiss. "I notice/' he remarked mildly, "that the players who get the lowest scores are not those who swear." "Why the hell should they ?" snorted the gloomy golfer as he dug up another slice of the turf. ^ I John J.
