FARMERS' UNION NEWS Prncticil Thought* for Practical (Conducted by E. W. ?abfc?, Pres? ident B. C. Farmers Unioa.) Some Random Thought*. Born? **etks ago i wrote some ob? servations* of my trip to Jackson( Mist. Partly in continuation this is to re? mark that i do not tee what the Uni? ted State-; wants with the Phillippine Islands, .vhile th* wilds of Alabama and Mississippi remain untamed. There are miles ami miles, and more miles of forest lands. Saw-milling for man; . many mile; south and wast oi ruucaloosn seemed t'> be the predomll ant industry. I >aw hall a doatn to a dozen miles as big as the AlCOlU plant or bigger, and the small Onoi wate too numerous to keep the count At a r laee called Tuba there w as a beautiful strawberry farm and quite a truck ng industry. And between Tuscaloosa and York. Alabama, some fa ms of corn and cotton that showed Intensive cultivation. but most of the farming. especially on Into Mississippi, was of the slipshod order. While there are miles of low, level lands with dense growth of pine and swamp trees, re ninding me of the lands friin Charleston to Yemaiaee. yet soon after was passed the Chunky river beyond Meridian. Miss., we ran through a tunnel about tWO hun? dred yards long. and there was a great deal of the country as hilly as the Stateburg section. Jackson Is not much larger than Bumter, but Its capital square and governor's mansion lend It a dignity our llttlt city can not boast. The neatest and most progressive farming county that 1 saw on the whole trip was among the grain and grass farms of Middle, Teun.. from below Franklin to Nashville. To wake up in the early dawn and b?ok out on a moving panorama of neat hedges, well tilled tields, waving grain or knee deep clover; with here and there well kept farmsteads was in such contrast to the gullied and galled hillsides, or sassafras or per? simmon slopes, with patches of briars and sedge, that 1 could not go back to sleep, but sat up in my berth, and fei.sted my eyes on the shifting landscape. We seemed to be in a valley, and the hills rose in gentle slopes out to the West for a mile or more, i begrudged the ten ?er fifteen minute it took to dress, and would paUSe frequently to Study mole close? ly some richer spot. Nashville as seen from tin- upper story of the State Capitol is a huge cup and Saucer, the capital the cup in the gaUOer. The capital is 187 feet higher than the Cumberland river that rtowi through the town. and from the foot ?f the capltol hill the gr? und rises in every direction to the summit of the Cumberland plateaui said to be the garden spot of the State. Although 1 think the landS between KnoXVille and Mol rlstowr (and between Knoxvllle and Chatanooga, Which 1 saw on a for? mer trip) must be equally as fertile as the Nashvllle-Franklln-Qallatln section "f middle Tennessee. They certainly give every evidence of being as i Ich except density of population. XaSbVllle Seellied to me to be a prettier City than either Atlanta or Birmingham, but ool stub a hustling Skyscraper sort of a place US either of the latter. Vanderbilt University i- most beautifully located. ?>f the half doz? en addresses that I heard at tin meet? ing of the Sociological Congress that l attended on Thursday 1 was most profoundly Impressed h> tin oni by in. Dwyer, Prof, of Sociology at Vnnderbllt, it was on the reasons for punishing criminals, ii was a most scathing arraignment of so? ciety for allowing and profiling b) vicious environment, ami then ink ing vengeance on tin utifortunuh creature of society's policy, lie spoki without not en in such logical Requenci and with such a deep Insight into tin promptings of the htimun mind thai I fed like I would like for a son u mine i ? alt at bis feet, The next best address, in my judg menl, was b\ In. Potts of the I'nlver Itj of Texas tin tin- "indetermlnati Sentence." He showed the vast Inequal ity of tin- laws of the various State and for various misdemeanors, Som< States bad a penalty ,.f ||* month and another 20 j ears for tin- same crime. < >r In the lame State, nix monthi for a great i Time, and ten yean for a smaller offence. I did not much like the featuring <>f an ex-convict in an address, Nor tin- Indefinable air of superiority, thai somehow could be felt of the pro? fessional philanthropists ol the Bus* ?ell Sagt- Foundation that is said tc be financing this latest reform move* ment. There wer.- a great many very earnest men and women there, bui I was told there was a group of vio? lent socialists, and another of their OppoalteS that would reform us to order, and it must be of their or derlng, 8 Is their patrons of the aforesaid R. B. v. A telegram calling ma to Columbia cut my stay in Nashville short by y.i hours and I came out by night over the Tennessee Central railroad to I Harriman. where I Struck the South? ern Railway's Cincinnati-Charleston route. Persons who knew said the trip from Nashville to Harriman through the Cumberland mountains is as pretty as any In the Alleghancy or Blue Kldge. We only went about 20 miles an hour, but the roadbed was so good that the car was like a gentle cradle, and only the prolonged stop at Harriman waked me up. Bo many of my readers have seen the Freeh Broad route and the Saluda grade that I will not try to describe them. After leaving Harriman I was surprised to see so many thick? ets of sassafras, whole hillside Melds that looked like sassafras was a crop. On the Oallatln Pike out of Nash? ville where 1 went on the car line, and near Knoxvllle are the most beau? tiful natural oak groves. 1 think, 1 ever saw. lame sinks are in evidence in sev? eral localities between Harriman and Cniontown. Morristown claims to be the greatest egg and poultry market In the world. 1 think the big add read, and the second horse market in the United States, but 1 had not op? portunity to verify either statement. I did see crates of "milk fed broilers," 1 1-2 pounds dressed chickens deliv? ered to the Pullirtan cars. It seems that somebody there is doing a tine trade in furnishing this toothsome Chicken to the traveling public. K. W. D. ??? ????-k Last week I spent two days at Denmark and Qovans In Bambeerg county. 1 had always thought of that section as being a level country like Salem and Sardinia, but it is as rolling as Dalsell and the Providence lections, but not quite so hilly as vhe vicinity 1 f Sumter'e Mount. Am 1 was never in a section that presented more varieties of soil, from strong red clay to sandy black jack. __ :t - n> ? Their soil must nave dried out much faster than ours, for moat of heir cotton and corn are more ad? vanced titan ours. The oat crop is good and the acreage much larger than ours. How does 7."? bushels ?er acre atrlke sou on n high sand illl at Qovans? At Denmark, former Senator May. held .and his son, Mr. J. K. Mayti.dd. took me over a large part of their tine farm, and showed we Voorhees institute, a colored Industrial sch >ol, and the splendid farms of Messrs. Guess and others, it Is hard to Und a prettier f irming country In the State than Denmark. Mr. Maytleld run* about 30 plow** and plants ::7?? acres corn, 150 acre oats, lJ? acres watermelons, 25 acres peanuts and 13(1 acres cotton. rHs 150 acres Bermuda pasture on tin side of his place and another large one started on the other side, liaises Cattle ami hogs and feeds Steels. How is that for diversification? The Voorhees Institute seemed to be doing a good work, and they certain? ly have ;i splendid property. I won? der if our people realize thai there are more industrial schools for ne? groes In South Carolina than for whites. If I am mistaken. I wish to be corrected.

Borne sacks ran as low as 15a pounds to the sack and 1,800 pounds to the ton was a too com? mon occurrence. This afternoon I have visited the Qonxales Sanitary dairy north of Co? lumbia; and c hicken farm where I saw the most white Leghorn c hickens, about 1.000, that I ever saw at one time. I found here that there are unite a number Of things that they do not have time to do. Moat no? table was not having time to remove manure to prevent fly breeding. But that is another story and so is my visit to the Taylor Dairy where I saw more tine Jerseys than ever before, even at a State fair. The finest corn I have seen is right by the old soldiers home on the State hospital farm. Whoever beats it will be the champion. Not an acre, but fifteen or twenty acres. B. W. D.
