Hooky Bluff Notes.
Rooky Bluff. Nov. II,?The crop
fo? 1U12 has about all been harvested.
Cotton was short, corn fairly good and
potatoes line, though nobody around
Rooky Dluff made 800 bushels on one
acre. Some made more than 200
bushels, but I have not heard of any
one making even 300 bushels. There
are more oats being planted than us?
ual. Some of our farmers are about
to wake up at last and see their mis?
take in planting so much cotton.
We have been having snmo very

that is that they should concede to

to carr) on the great work inaugurat?
ed by him for the Improvement of
farming methods and the betterment
of living conditions on the fttst. The
Knapp school Will be Unique among
the educational Institutions in Ameri?
ca and Will till B long felt want in
that it will teach by example as well
as prec< pt scientific agriculture along
practical and profitable l'nes. The
school lias been offered a large en?
dowment by the General Educational
Board on condition that the farmers
of the South, for whom Dr. Knapp ?
farm demonstration work did v"
much, and the people of the South j
generali} contribute as much as
$'JOO,000 toward the endowment f ind.
This is a small sum. comparative!)
speaking, for the whole south to con?
tribute to so worthy a cause, and it
is still more insignificant in com?
parison With the value of the work
I>r Knapp did for Southern farmers. It j
it h;:s been estimated that, as the dl
rect result of Dr. Knapp's farm dem? i
onstratlon and boys' corn club work
I in the South, tho value of the farm
products of the South have been in?
creased more than $100,000,000 an?
nually and the sum grows greater
euch year as the farm methods in?
troduced by Dr. Knapp are adopted
by more and more farmers. The
School of Country Dife is designed
and Intended to train men to carry
on the work inaugurated by Dr.
Knapp, either as farm demonstrators
in the public service or for their own
benefit on their own farms, and no
greater Idea for the benefit of the
South has ever been conceived. It
sho lid receive all possible encour?
agement from the South and a gen?

Prof. Early is th? financial agent
of the Knapp school and his present

pose of acquainting the people with
the principles of the school and at
the same time obtain contributions to
the endowment fund so that work
may be started at an early day.

REAL ISSUE IN IRELAND.
Men Who Arc Boing Most Are Im?
proving Country Within.
W:s?- beads in London are saying
that the real issue before Parliament
is home rub , tayi The Metropolitan,
The whole British nation has to stop
its concerns and seriously consider
giving the Irish what they have de?
manded for ages And get among the
real people, thanks to the new sense
of reality, home rule is not the main
issue for Inland. If an Irishman got
up on a platform in his own land
ami talked emotionally about ' Kath*
leen ni Houlihan," in nine cases out of
ten he would be laughed at. Here In
America he might reap a lavish con?
tribution for the party funds, but it
has dawned OB Young Ireland at last
that politics alone will not sa\e the
country, and that perhaps politics
will not save h?'r at all.
The men who are doing the gsoot
for their country are those who have
put home rule in the back ? f their
minds, who have cessed to imagine
that Inland can be renewed from
without, and are encaged in renewing
it from within. They are too busy for
sentiment, and while they would like
home rule they are building (Irst for
tangible prosperity and for national
character, and so they count only up?
on unremitting toil and upon so much
practical talk as will help bring ef?
fective economic results.
ESver) day dosens of Items appear
in the Irish and English papers which
show, often unconsciously, that ire
land has taken another step forward.
Some on,- discovers that the lead
mines in Wexford, old a thousand
years ago. m my base a future; or
that the Kilk< -my coal veins are prob?
ably not so shallow as the Kngtlsh
experts thought. I'erj w.u." says
Young Ireland. we'll not count on
