Grace's labors are blessing the help
"Abbott, unless the fruits of relig?
ion are flavored by lore, they're no
more account than apples taken with
bitter-rot-?not worth fifty cents a
barrel.'*
Abbott aaked slyly, "What about
your fruit, out there In the world?**
"Oh," Fran confessed, with a gleam,
"we're net In the orchard-business at
all, out here."
Abbott laid his hand earnestly upon
her arm. "Fran! Come in and help
us spray."
"Yon dear old prosy, preachy pro?
fessor!" she exclaimed affectionately,
"I bare been thinking of it I've ha '
a mind to try, really. Wouldn't Grace
Nolr jus- die* . . . O Lord, there
she comes now!"
Fran left the disconsolate young
man In wild precipitation, and flew
Into the house. He turned oft in an?
other direction, and Gregory and Grace
came slowly toward the house, having,
without much difficulty, eliminated
Simon Jefferson from their company.
In truth, Simon, rather than be Im- I
proved by their conversation, had
dived down a back alley, and found
entrance through the side door. When
Hamilton Gregory and his secretary
came Into the reception hall, the old
bachelor lay upon a divan thinking of}
his weak heart?Fran's flight from
the choir loft had reminded him of it?
and Mrs. Jefferson waa fecclng him,
aa If he were never tc bo a grown
man. Mrs. Gregory sat near the
group, silently embroidering In white
silk. Fran bad hastily thrown herself
upon the stairway, and, with half
closed eyes, looked as if she had been
there a long time.
"Fran," said Mrs. Gregory coldly,
"you left the choir practice before we
were two-thirds done. Of course I
could hardly expect you"?he looked
at his wife?"to stay, although your
presence would certainly iave kept
Fran there; and it does look as if
we should be willing to resort to any
expedient to keep her there!"
"How would a lock and chain do?"
Fran lmiulred meekly.
"I don't think she camo straight
home, either," remarked Grace Nolr
slgnifcsntly. "Did you, Fran?"
"atlas Nolr." said Fran, willing at
her through the banister-ilats, "you
are so satisfactory; you always say
Just about what I expect Tes, I came
?freight home. I'm glad it's your busi?
ness, so you could ask."
Hamilton Gregory turned to his
wife again, with restraint more
marked. "Next Sunday Is roll-call day,
Mrs, Gregory The board has decided
to revise the lists. We've been carry?
ing so many nsmes that It's a burden
to the church. The world reproaches
us, saying, 'Isn't So-and-so a member?
He never attends, does he?' I do
Lope you will go nexi Sunday!"
Mrs. Gregory looked down at her
work thoughtfully, then said, "Mother
would be left?"
"It's just this way," h.-r husband In?
terposed abruptly: "If no excuses, such
aa sickness, are sent, and If the people
haven't been coming for months, and
don't Intend coming, we are simply
determined to drop the nsmes?strike
'em out. We hellere church members
should show where they stand. And?
ind If you?"
Mrs. Oregotry looked up quietly.
Her voice seemed woven of the silk
thrssds she was stitching in the white
pattern. "If I am not a member of
.he church, sitting an hour In the
building couldn't make me one."
Simon Jefferson cried out. "Is that
ay sister Lucy? Blessed If I thought
4he had so much spirit!"
"Do you call that spirit?" returned
?Gregory, with displeasure.
"WelK" snorted 81mon, "what do
rou call it. then?"
"Perhaps," responded Gregory, with
marked disapprobation, "perhaps It
was spirit."
Orace, still attired for tho street,
looked down upon firs. Gregory as If
turned to atoue. Her beautiful face
expressed something like a horror at
the other's Irreverence.
Fran ahook back her hair, and
watched with gloaming eyea from be
bind the slats, not unlike a small
wild creature peering from Ita cage.
"Oh." cried Fran, ''Miss Nolr feels
bo bad!"
Grace swept from the hall, her
rounded figure Instinct with the suffer
logs of a martyr.
Fran murmured, "That killed her!"
"And you!" cried Gregory, turning
suddenly In blind anger upon the
other -"you dou't care whose heart
you break "
I haven't any power over bearta,"
retorted Fr.m. gripping her fingers till
her band* were little white balls. "Oh,
if I only had! I'd get at 'em If 1

"Am I alwaya to be defied by you?"
he exclaimed; "la ther? to be no end

Ik uiye?lf?t?U you that Uile la no
place for you?"
"You shall never lay that!" Mrs.
Gregory spoke up, distinctly, but not
In bis loud tones. She dropped her
work in some agitation, nnd drew Fran
to her heart. "i have a friond here,
Hamilton?one friend?and nhe most
atay."
"Don't be uneasy, dear one," Fran
looked up lovingly into the frightened
face. "He won't tell me to go. Ho
won't put an end to it He won't tell
rae anything!"
"Listen to me, Lucy," said Gregory,
his tone altering, "yes, she must stay
?that's settled?she must stay. Of
course. But you?why will you refuse
what I ask, when for years you were
one of the most faithful attendants
at the Walnut Street church? I am
asking you to go next Sunday because
?well, you know how people Judge
by appearances. I'm not asking it
for my sake?of course I know your
real character?but go for Miss
Grace's sake?go to show her where
you stand."
"How is it about church attendance,
anyway?" asked Fran, with the air of
one who seeks after knowledge. "I
thought you went to church for the
Lord's sake, and not for Miss Noir'a."
"I have given you my answer, Mr.
Gregory," said his wife faintly, "but
1 am sorry that it should make me
seem obstinate?"
He uttered a groan, and left the hall
In despair. His gesture said that he
must give it up.
Mrs. Gregory folded her work, her
face pale and drawn, her lipa tremu?
lous. She looked at Fran and tried to
?mile. "We must go to reit now,"
she said?"if we can."

RURAL RACE SEGREGATION.
New Law Proposed by the Progres?
sive Farmer Exciting Widespread
Interest Throughout the South ?
What It Is.
To the Editor: Will you be kind
enough to give me space?since the
idea is so new, since it has excited so
much interest, and since so many
people are ignorant of my exact pur?
pose by the policy of race segrega?
tion I have been advocating for the
rural South?
But to begin with, let me say a
word as to the Imperative need for
some such remedy as I have been
urging. I know when I began this ag?
itation that thousands and thousands
of white farmers in all parts of the
South were being forced from their
homes for social reasons by the
growing number of negroes around
them (as my own father was), but I
did not then know how wide-spread
are the evils resulting from our pres?
ent indiscriminate sandwiching ^f
white and negro farmers.
Situation Demands Remedy.
The hundreds of earnest messages
from farmers and even more earnest
messages from farmers' wives ami
daughters, have opened my eyes. A
white farmer may have bought land
in what he expected to remain forev?
er a white community, may have
built a good home with this expecta?
tion, ordering his whole life accord?
ingly. And yet some non-resident
owning land adjoining him may put
any kind of negroes on it, terrorizing j
the farmer's wife and daughters, de-J
stroying the social life of the commu-j
nity, depreciating the value of the
farmer's land, and ilnally forcing him
to move for social reasons?leaving
the negroes to gobble up the farm for |
half its real worth.
This is not a fancy picture but a
literal report of what is actually hap?
pening all over the cotton belt. Al?
most every section of the south feels j
the blighting effect of such condl-i
tions. Worthy settlers refuse to
come, and farmers already in a com?
munity hesitate to build worthy coun?
try homes, because they have no as?
surance that they or their children
will not be forced to leave the place
in order to find plenty of white neigh?
bors.
A Simple Law Advocated.
If we are to save the rural south to 1
?.he white race, wo must find some;
remedy, and 1 have become convinced
i
that an aroused public sentiment Is
not enough. We must have a statute
which will enable any white commu?
nity that wishes to do so to take
steps to insure its remaining white?
a statute framed not in a spirit of
injustice and persecution to the ne?
gro, but In a spirit of justice and pro?
tection to the white man.
Briefly, 1 propose a simple law
which will say that wherever the
greater part of the land acreage in
any given district that may be laid
of the voters in such a district may
say (if they wish) that in future no
land shall be sold to a person of a
different race. Provided such ac?
tion is approved or allowed (as b'.ing
justified by consideration of the
peace protection, and social life of
the community,) by a reviewing
judge or board of county commis?
sioners.
I
It may be argued, I know, that such
a law is unjust because with the
government of the south as it is, it
could he utilized by white people to
keep their comn unities white, but
the negroes would rarely or never
be able to use it to make a commun?
ity wholly negro. All of which I ad?
mit and yet 1 believe it is just.
Not Unjust to the Negro.
I believe it is Just because the
white man needs the social protec?
tion of such a law and the negro
doesn't. If a majority of his neigh?
bors are white, the negro doesn't
care. His land is made more valua?
ble by the predominance of neighbors
Of a different race; the chances of
selling it for ita worth are better;
his family arc not uneasy or unsafe;
they don't mind running off day or
[ night to see neighbors or kinfolic
miles away; and his money making
facilities are better. But with the
white man surrounded by negro
neighbors exactly the contrary condi?
tions exist. So 1 am confident such
a law as I propose would be Just, and
eminent lawyers hfc/e assured me it
would be constitutional.
As for Its practicability! that is ap
1 parent on its face. It is not a radi
! cal measure. It would not be forced
on any community thai doesn't want
it. Bui Wherever any white commun?
ity that does wish to keep Itself
white and doea want the protection
, of auch a law aa I propose i believe
it should have that privilege.
1 shall be glad to Send further in?
formation to any Interested reader
who agrees With nie.?Clarence Poe,

FORAGE CHOPS AND MEAT PRO?
DUCTION.
CleniHon College Extension Work?
South Carolina Experiment Station
?Press Bulletin No. 125.
(By R. L. Shields, Prof, of Animal
Husbandry.)
The eost of all kinds of meat tl in?
creasing from year to year. The
I chief reason for this is that meat pro
l duction is not keeping pace with the
! demand,?from an increuse in popu
; lation,?in fact, the beef supply in
this country is less than a year ago.
The South consumes a great deal of
meat?and this same section produces
a mighty small per cent of the
' amount it consumes, relying on ex
i pensive products shipped In from the
North and West.
If all our farmers would raise!
.enough hogs, etc., to supply their!
own meat, it would insure a more
prosperous condition throughout the
South, since thousands of dollars j
leave each county of the South an-1
i nually for these products that can J
be produced so readily at home.
The greatest economy in meat pro?
duction is obtained through the use
' of suitable grazing crops as a sup-1
| plement to grain feeding.
No one should attempt to raise live I
j stock without first carefully plan
, nlng for the necessary forage crops.
I It is possible to have grazing crops
throughout the year.
The following crops ere recom?
mended for hog grazing. Time for
seeding, amount to sow per acre,
grazing period, etc. .under average
conditions, are also given:
Rape?Sow in late summer or early
spring. Amount, three pounds drill?
ed, six pounds broadcast per acre;
time for crop to develop for grazing,
eight to ten weeks; length of graz?
ing period, three months.
Cowpeas?Sow from middle of April
to middle of July. One-half bushel
drilled, one bushel broadcast; time
for development for grazing, two or
three months; grazing period, six
weeks.
Soy beans?Sow from May first to
middle of July; amount same as forj
j cowpeas; should be planted with drill; j
time for development, two or three j
months; grazing period, four weeks.
live?Sow September first to last of
November. One and one-half hush
els drilled; time for development, two
to four months. Will furnish grazing
two to three months.
i
Corn and Peas?Plant May and
Jnrte. Amount of corn, four quarts,
peas one-half bushel drilled; time for
development four months; grazing
period, all fall.
Crimson Clover?Sow September?
November. Twelve to fifteen pounds
broadcast; time to develop, three
months; grazing period six to eight
; weeks.
3ur Clover?Practically the same
as for crimson clover.
Clovers and vetches should be in-1
oculated. Inoculate vetch with vetch]
or English pea soil; inoculate bur
clover with bur clover soil, if sown
in the bur inoculation la not neces?
sary; inoculate crimson clover with
crimson clover soil or red clover soil.
In each case, use 500 pounds per acre
of inoculated soil and harrow in im?
mediately.
Oats?Sow September 1st to middle
of December. Two to two and one
half bushels, drill or broadcast; time
, for development, six to twelve weeks;
grazing period, eight to twelve weeks.
Vetch?sow with outs or rye; fifteen
I to twenty pounds.
Sorghum ? Sow middle of April
to middle of July. Four to eight
quarts drilled; time for development,
six to eight weeks; grazing period,
four to six weeks.
Peanuts?Plant May and June. One
bushel drilled; time for development,
ninety to one hundred and twenty
days; grazing period, all fall.
Chufas?Plant May and June. Four
I to eight quarts drilled; time for de
. velopment, four months; grazing pe?
riod, all fall and part of winter.
Sow Outs.
j The sowing of oats should receive
j attention this month. The crop re
j port! forecast high-priced corn and
. oats next summer. The Southern
, farmer can and should hedge against
J the high prices that now seem bound
I to come. Prepare the land well. Se
? curs the best seed oats obtainable,
use a good commercial fertilizer, if
j necessary, at tho rate of 400 or D00
pounds per acre and plant anywhere
from two to live acres per horse. It
la a cheap crop and should be grown
more largely all over the South. Put
, them In during September wherever
i it Is possible to do so. Where corn
, Is cut off the land can be prepared
i and the oats put in immediately after
, the corn la shocked. They can also
be put In cotton with the open fur
i row method?about three rows of
oats in each cotton middle. A good
j acreage In oats, well prepared, well
fertilized and sowed at the rate ol
two and one-half bush, is per acre,
will save the farmers of the South
many thousands of dollars next year.

SECRETARY or AGRICULTURE.
Dr. Houston Called Lite Best Man
Who Ever Held tlie Place.
Boston Herald. j
In common with most of the news- j
papers, the Herald has had occasion!
to criticise Mr. Bryan's conduct of the
State department, and occasionally
that of other members of the cabinet.
It is with peculiar pleasure, therefore,
that we can say of David F. Houston,
the present Secretary of Agriculture,
that he le, in the opinion of those who
know, the best man ever ass.gned to
that place since it became a cabinet
office. The executive committeemen of
the Association of Colleges and Experi?
mental Stations, having the welfare of
scientific agriculture at heart, re?
cently had occasion to confer with the
new Secretary, and on their return
to the hotel, in the words of one of
them, "we pinched ourselves to see if
we were walking on earth," so queer
was the sensation of dealing with a
Secretary of Agriculture who had a
definite and intelligent policy, whose
aims were scientific, and whose grasp
of the situation was comprehensive.
Secretary Houston is establihing
many great reforms. He has decided
to have the department attempt noth?
ing which die experiment stations and
other State agencies can do to better
advantage. This will cut out an enor?
mous duplication of effort. The so
called "extension work," like the
teaching of farmers by practical dem
sontrations, will be turned over to
those agencies, local and commercial,
which are ready to do it on the
ground. The new Secretary has no
desire to cover the earth, regardless
of what other agencies are. doing,
merely for the sake of inflating the
pay toll or of aggrandizing the Feder?
al department.
Dr. Houstor.. has also reorganized
the publishing system of the depart?
ment, establishing a national journal
of agricultural science, which will be
made the vehicle of acquainting the
world with the discoveries of his ex?
perimenters. He has called to its ed?
itorial service some of the ablest ex- i
perts in the country. He is cutting |
out certain sensational endeavors, or- \
iginally designed for popularizing the'
department, but having no place in a|
government-maintained institution.
The right man is in the right place.
Dr. Houston's training has been most
admirable. At the head of agricul?
tural experiment statiefns, his meritor?
ious work led to his selection for the
presidency of Washington University
at St. Louis, of which Winfield S.
Chaplin, formerly of Harvard, was at
an earlier period the head. And from
that post Dr. Houston was last spring
transferred to Washington. The de?
partment is a great scientific work?
shop?the largest in the world. It
needed just such a man, and the presi?
dent is to be given credit of finding
him. And incidentally Houston saved
us from Obadiah Gardner.
What Crop Rotations Will Do And
What They Cannot Do.
Crop rotation alone will not main?
tain soli fertility, if any of the usual
farm products are sold from the farm.
Crop rotations?correct ones?will
maintain or increase the nitrogen, but
if any products, except such as but?
ter or cream, are sold, the supply of ,
phosphoric acid, potash, and lime will
be reduced. In fact, the supply of
these substances, especially the lime,
will be decreased to a certain extent
by leaching and washing, even though
nothing be sold from the farm.
But these facts form no argument
against rotation. They show why we
should not depend on crop rotation
alone, but crop rotations are the ba?
sis of good farming and too much im?
portance cannot be attached to them
in relation to maintaining and in?
creasing soil fertility.
It is probably true that some farm?
ers have erroneously thought that
crop rotation alone would build up
their farms and permanently main?
tain soil fertility; but that is no rea?
son for creating the impression that
crop rotations are not essential to the
best agricultural practice.
The South has not suffered from
placing too nun h faith in crop rota?
tions, nor have we suffered from prac?
ticing crop rotatons; hut we have
suffered immeasurably from our fail?
ure to follow intelligent crop rota
tions. When there is an abundance
Of lime and Phosphoric acid In the
soli, a suitable crop rotation may
greatly increase crop production by
adding nitrogen and humus-forming1
materials. Imbed, this result may
continue for many years, bui sooner
or later the supply of phosphoric ado
and lime will be depleted if the usual
farm products are sold, unless these
elements are purchased or added to
the land in soon form.
The phosphoric a< Id mas lw pur?
chased In grains for reeding, or in the
form of ground phosphate io<k. or as
acid phosphate; but in some way
phosphoric acid and lime will have to
be applied to the sod to either main?
tain or increase the supply. But as
stated, the is i o argument against
, rop rotations, the Inch of which is
probubl) the greatest defect In South*
win agrUulturs The Progressive
Farmer will continue to urge that
available crop rotations be practiced,
but we never have stated or thought
that these alone would maintain soil
fertility. We cannot, however, inaist
too strongly on crop rotations, which
will gather nitrogen fro.n the air and
which when plowed under, or fed and
the manure returned to the land, will
maintain or increase the niu^gen and
humus supply in our soils. Even if
the same plant foods are sold from
the farm a crop rotation is better
than ii one-crop system, because a
rotation of crops decreases injury
from .nsects, tends to lessen weeds,
makes it possible to draw plant foods
from larger soil areas and means di?
versification, which is the bes: insur?
ance against the loss which comes
from putting all our eggs in one
basket.?Tait Butler, in the Pro?
gressive Farmer.
A Uniform Torr ens System.
Richmond Times-Dispatch.
The Times-Dispatch is pleased to
note that both the West Point News
and the Roanoke World Join it in ad?
vocacy for Virginia of the Torrens sys?
tem of registration and guaranty of
land title.
The latter contemporary very well
defines the system as one the purpose
of which is "to establish a title to a
tract of land or a city lot, and have
the State guarantee it. Under it a
man selling land would have nothing
to do but hand over his title deeds,
perhaps with an indorsement; or,
wishing to borrow money on land,
would merely deposit his deeds as se?
curity. He would not be required to
execute a mortgage, and the deTay and
expense of searching titles would be
avoided."
There is a larger phase of this ques?
tion which is entitled to careful con?
sideration, and is embodied in the re?
port of the committee on the TorrAss
system to the Conference of Commis?
sioners on Uniform State Laws at
Montreal last August, ol which com
mitee Eugene C. Massie of Richmond
was chairman. It is plain that the
tide of the Torrens system is rapidly
rising, and, so that uniformity may
be attained early rather than after it
has acquired volume, the committee
referred to above submitted to the
conference a tentative draft of uni?
form Torrens system law for adoption
by the several States. Ten States have
already adopted the system, but their
statutes are not uniform, and the
committee is of the opinion that "the
promulgation of a model Torrens act
for adoption by other States, in whlcV.
some legislation will soon be paese
will prevent further divergencies aru.
be the easiest way to insvie that un>
formity which is the ideal of this o
ganization."
Further, "if it be objected that lar.d
titles are matters of local interest
only and not of interstate concern,
and should, therefore, be left by this
conference for settlement wholly by
local Jurisdictions in any manner that
may seem desirable to them without
regard to uaiformlty, it is replled-that
one of the effects of registration will
be to confer upon lands a new com?
mercial quality by giving to them
commercial mobility, by enabling
owners to deal with their lands
quickly, cheaply and safely, and by
Placing registered certificates of title,
as far as possible, upon an equality
with registered stocks and bonds,
making them marketable and readily
available in all business transactions,
both as collateral for loans as well
as for direct sales." Residents in one
State are often landowners in other
States, or are interested in loans se?
cured on lands in other States. Ae
the Torrens system becomes better
known and more generally establish?
ed, certificates of title will freely pass
from State to State, so that the bank?
able capital of the country may be
greatly increased.
Certainly, if it is desirable to have
a uniform stock transfer act, it is
equally so with a uniform Torrens
act. 7
