Successful Farming
In Cherokee
W. R. Walker of the Sonny aide
sommvr ity, seems t6 have .solved the
problem of a successful agricultural
establishment. In addition to large
farming operations'Mr. Walker has
one of the fintst herds of Aberdeen
Angus cattle 111 the South. He raises
but one breed of cattle and evidently
agrees with Mr. Noah of Morris town,
Term., who says: "One breed of cat.
tie is enough for any man." Mr. Walker
has ben a successful farmer for
many years; has made money even in
the hum years when many farmers
wire almost ready to give up, and according
to his own statement, .the reason
for his success is first, diversification,
and second, he has raised all
his supplies at home. Ever sinee the
first issue of the Cherokee Times, we
huve time to impress out -farmer
iriends with the idea that, in order to
be successful they must raise their
wn supplies at home and in this way
-ecome independent or the boll weevil,
the low price of cotton or of anything
else.
There are a number farmers in
Cherokee county who have accumulated
good sized fortnes, and without
xception these men have made everything
which they needed at home except
sugar and coffee and the clothing
which they wear. The farmer who
as his smoke house and .granary a
chousand miles from his home can
.ever hope to be a successful farmer
and he had just as well pull up stakes
.<nd quit before he gets so deep in
the hole that he will never be able to
pull ot.?Cherokee Times.

Died a Millionaire
London, Nov. 22.?America furnishes
many instances of millionaires who
rose from the ranks, but it is doubtful
if even in America a millionaire
;ver made such a humble start in
ife as did Sir George Frederick
Sleight, first tyaronet of Wetherby
Hall, Great Grimsby, who has just
nea leaving a iortune oi neany >00,000.
Sir George began earning his living
as a boy by gathering cockles on
Dlethorpes Beach and hawking them
through the town. He rose Anally t*>
ae the largest individual owner of
3team trawlers in the country. The
greater part of his fleet was used during
the war for mine-sweeping and
submarine patrolling. For the services
he rendered the country in this
way he was made a baronet, and the
conferring of the title provoked no
such scandal as has grown out of the
tward of many honors in recent
years.
Ther9 are from 100,000 to 300,000
a'icns in the country who were smug,
gled in, according to the secretary of
'ab-r. The department of labor also
believes there are 60,000 Chinese in
Cuba, watching heir chance to reach
the Gulf coast. It is argued that reg
istration of aliens would halt smug
gling.

jj ?
An, effort to tuna y tin various dk|
ommendaiions toeing made by hte different
gtotn-aad fedesal government
cowards assisting cotton growan in
t combating the .problem arising oat
of the boll weevil menace will be
made at a conference to be held in
connection with the meetings of the
tamd Grant College Association at
vVashington, D. C., November 23. Extension
directors and -college presidents
and deans of various cotton
states, as well as prominent officials
of the United States Department of
Agriculture, will attend.
Among the important questions to
be .discussed will be that of encouraging
the growth of uniform varieties
of cotton in communities. UniJbrm
times of planting -to smother big
factor in boll weevil control that will
come up. The opinion la expressed
that .if agreement could be reached
py me various interest on unixorrq
varieties and times of planting ?nd
.he recommendations followed by ths
growers one-third of the weevil prokr
em would be solved.
Cotton, it is pointed out, is a plant
that readily adapts itself to changes
n soil or climate. One variety, theretore
may prove valuable through a
wide range. One of the big difficulties
is the long time that would be
required to effect a complete change
of variety. Pure seed is hard to get,
as mixed varieties are so genreally
grown. Some years would be required
to produce enough pure seed
of any one variety to bring about
any big change.
The conference will also go int?
the various methods now recommended
for controlling boll weevils under
different conditions. No attempt will
be made to dispose finally of the various
problems of fighting the -boll
weevil at this conference. Its work
is intended to pave the way for ?an
other meeting .later in which all interests
involved will be represented.
The plan of calling the conference
'originated with Dr. H. A. Morgan,
president of the University of Tennessee,
who made three trips through
ihe South for the government studying
boll weevil conditions. Dr. Morgan
believes that unity in the methods
recommended by the states and
the federal government for combating
the pest is one of the most important
Bteps toward that end. Practically
aH officials of .the United
States Department of Agriculture
concerned in boll weevil work will
attend the meeting.

of the law >of .historical affinity
is aean in this showing "approach-ment"
between .Swede* and Bsthonhi
and Latvia, tha newly created republics
.on the Baltic east -coast. Theoe
two republics were largely settled by
Vikings about one thousand yeen
ago, and in the time of Gustavus
Adolphus swore allegiance .to the
Swedish crown. They were under
Swedish rule for one hundred and fifty
years until If 10, when they were
conquered by Russia. But the Letts
and Esthonians still speak of the
"good old Swedish times." This tradition
of kinship with Sweden now
expresses itself in constant attempts
to get closer together culturally, politically,
and financially.
Thus the University of Dorpat in
Esthonia, founded by Sweden in
1632, has Just added the sixth Swedish
professor to its faculty, and various
courses in the Swedish languag*
are being given. Meanwhile group*
tf teachers and pupils, farmers and
?hers are coming over to visit Sweden.
The Swedish people were among
the first to encourage these republics
in their hard fight for national exiatence,
and they have sent over relief
expeditions to work among the
inhabitants left destitute by many
years of war and the suffering
through many centuries of abject
servitude under the rule of the local
nobility of German descent, the "Baltic
Barons," and under the Russian
czarist regime.
Trade relations between Sweden
and the new Baltic states have developed
rapidly since the war, and inumber
of steamship lines are now
maintaining regular service between
Riga, Reval and Swedish ports.

An' you sort o' feel a flutter in the

You can't look up an' meet his eyes;

When his hand is on your shoulder

Oh, the world's a curious compound,

With its care and bitteT crosses, but

Graft Punishable by
Death in Russia
Moscow, Nov. 22.?A strenuous
campaign against graft among state
employees, inaugurated some time
ago by the Soviet government, has
brought to trial in various parts of
the country hundreds of individuals,
some of whom already have been convicted
and 'put to death for their
trickery.
At Nishni Novgorod eight men accused
of swindling the government in
connection with the installation of an
electrical plant along the Volga were
sentenced to be shot, while 21 others
tried simultaneously ware sent to
prison for various terms of years.
In connection with the collecting
of the grain tax imposed by the state,
three men in the Moscow district,
charged with making false entries by
which the government was cheated
of great quantities of grain, weta
sentenced to pay thenupreme penalty,
while 42 of the same group were acquitted.

Foreign Group Congestion
In Cities Critical Problem
Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 28.?The
moat stubborn and critical lituation
confronting American cities is the
presence of large and congest* 1
' groups of foreign speaking peoples
whose assimilation has been slow,
Dr. D. D. Forsyth, corresponding secretary
of the Board of Home Missions
and Church Extension of the
Methodist Episcopal church, declared
at the annual meeting of that boari
here today.
"Immigrants have not been evenly
distributed through out country," bo
said. "Seventy-two percent are in
our cities. Some cities are almost
solfdiy foreign-speaking and mere
remnants of the normal population
are left In others, great colonies
have been develoDed. known aa Little
Italics and Little Polands, where the
ideals and standards of the Old World
are prevalent.
"These people are crowding Into
our .schools, colleges and universities
in great numbers. They constitute
the great body of American toilers.
They are to make up in a very large
way our citizenship yet they are out
