The farms to-dav hav^ many advan-

the rural mail, the good roads move
ment has spread wonderfully, newspa
pers and farm journal* have extended
their educative Influence, abd the ru
ral telephone has organized the great
body of farmers and brought them to
a better knowledge of each other.
This one agency—the telephone—has
done more, perhaps, than anything
else to promote the business and home
welfare Of till thO farmers. Through
all the great mediums of publicity the
truths concerning its power for g<>od
have been told to the country popula
tion The Western Electrip Company,
the largest manufacturer of telephones
iu the world, distributed instructive
literature ou the farm telephone sub
ject throughout the rural dDtricts,
Farmers were shown how easily rural
lines are cohstfucted, and hort greaf ft
return such a line gives when viewed
only from the standpoint of art Invest
meut.
Fof not only does a rural telephone
pay; there are Items when its presence
coolers a benefit that ecftrld never bv
gauged In terms of dollars and Ontg.
For Instance, when a physician of ft
Veterinary M wanted In a hurry, the
telephone Is the Only reliable and a

debtedneas continually created by
counties, school district* and muni

f»i both State and county purposes.
It is true, we are In portions of the
State now enjjyiog extraordinary
prosperity, due 10 the fact that the
cotton crop, which wa* short in the
larger portion of the southern Slates,
was fairly good In most of tin* Mate,
enabling us to realize more than our
proportionate share out of the high
prices prevailing; but the pendulum
mny swing the other way. It ci*t
more to produce this yetii’g crop than
any heretofore, and had a full crop of
cbitoiI been made In all Hie cotton
Mates, witn tha consequent low price#
and the incren»ed cost of living to the
maases, our farmer* would have been
in a deplorable condition.
• The increase of Mate, county and
