A couple of weeks ago The People
told of squash being gnfwn in Barn
well County during the past winter
by Mr. T, A. Davis, of Snelling. Last
week, the writer was presented wtyh
several Irish *. potatoes, which were
produced this year on the farm of Mr.
G. M. Shepheard, who lives a few
miles from town. Mr. Shepheard says
that when he went into his potato
banks to get seed for this Spring’s
planting, he found that the potatoes
had sprouted and that on the end of
each sprout was a young potato. They
(were there by the thousands and he
says that next winter he intends to
grow his supply in a hotbed.
says J. S. Wanhamaker, State chair
man, The meetings today were suc
cessful not under spur or oratory or
excitement, but by force of the logic
of the situation and the farmer’s be
lief that he has not had a square deal.
In sonfe of the counties there was
discussion of the relation .of tenants
and landlords to this question. The
State central comftiittee at its meet
ing next Tuesday at nooa^ in this eity,
will be asked to determine a fair basis
of exchange upon which other com
modities can be given to landlords in
place of rental cotton. It is stated
';hat the landlords in many counties
will be patriotic enough to change
their contracts and get out of the all
cotton rental plan.
Several of the counties passed reso-
utions declaring^ that if cotton farm
ers are to be represented abroad by
one of their number, Senator E. D.
Smith is the man who should go:

better to bum or bury the dead—leav
ing no excuse for the existence of the
disease-carrying buzzard. So, In the
beginning, the mission of the crow, we
may conjecture, was to preserve some
equilibrium, some balance In the econ
omy of nature. It may he he was

covering the waste places of the earth

that may have been, there seems to be
no excuse for his existence now since

waste places to useful grains and
grasses and needs the help of the In
sectivorous birds.
