Entered as second-class matter at the
postofTice at Chesterfield, South !
Carolina.
Noting that a hog had recently sold
in Iowa for $40,000, a Georgia editor
suggested that the last breakfast lmcan
he bought must have come from
that hog.
TWO VIEWS OF THE FARMER
Dr. Bailey of Cornell University,
mad not be a prophet or the son of a
prophet, but he has a vision of the fu
tun.' tha is encouraging to the tiller
of the soil. A professor in Cornell
University ought to know all about,
corn and corn raising as well as cotton.
lie says:
"The coming generation will see
the ri>e of the farmer.
"The farmer holds to the personal
ownership of property. He is never
out of employment, lie is a solitary
man rather than gregarious. He is
primarily a producer and his income
is a consequence of his own application.
He follows a natural day. He is
conservative because nature is conservative.
He is responsible for his
materials from seed time unto har
vest. iii' is not a want- earner; ne
works for himself."
The learned doctor might have added
tnat the farmer not only works
for himself but for everybody. Without
the work of the farmer the lawyer,
the doctor, the merchant and the
great army of overall wearers the
world over would starve.
But here comes a farmer who is
not in accord with the rosy views
of Dr. Bailey, lie writes to his local
paper.
"My experience teaches me that
the only slave on the farm is the
owner, who as a rule goes to work
at ti and Vorks until 7 at night,
working twelve hours, while the hired
man begins at 7 and quits at (5, working
ten hours. The hired man has his
three meals a day and no one to question
how much he may eat; he knows
how much money he is to get for his
labor and he gets it. But the owner
knows not what he is to get."
The practiced editor, who is somewhat
of slave himself administers a
mild rebuke to this writer, thus:
"The truth of the matter is, every
body has every reason in the world
to be happy and fuel thankful and
fortunate; and if the facts were
known, the most persistent heelers
and loudest complainers were never
in such hijrh estate nor making so
much money? never before in their
lives?than they are today.
So we who think, or pretend to
think, we are "slaves"?whether we
are employers, employees, landlords
or tenants?are "slaves" only insofar
as we enslave ourselves with discontent
and delusions, and to the extent
to which we fortfe our own
chains.
When William Howard Taft was
asked if im mitfht be the "dark horse"
at the Chicuiro convention he replied:
"No indeed, I am no dark horse,
bay horse, dappled jrray horse or calico
hor-e. | am nobody's Dobbin."
"TIME AND A HALF" OVERALLS
The Textile Mullet in i- not enthused
over the overall fad. The editor
of that practical journal remarks
that if he could draw tin- same wajjes
as the regular wearer of overalls
he would have a pair befort nifrht

forcing people to ilo without homos
or pay them $I2.">0 per day.
The man in the overalls wants
time and a half for every hour he
works over eight hours, whereas the
lawyer, tne doctor asd the merchant
has to work overtime in order to tret
enougt to live on.
Overalls, according? to this editor,
may cover a multitude of profiteers.
I UN IN CONGRESS
When a bill was introduced in
Congress by Mr. Good, of Iowa, to
appropri ite $210,000 to add rooms
and a new roof to a building for the
Treasury Department Congressman I
Blanton, of Texas, wanted to know
why the roof could not he patched,
adding that he had to patch his pants,
end by patching the roof it could be
made to last another year.
Mr. Good replied that they had
patched the roof before Mr. Blanton
had patched his pants, and now
they needed a new roof.
Perhaps Mr. Blanton decided he
needed a new pair of pants as he
Withdrew hi* objection.
PRINT PAPER FROM ALASKA
Sometime ago the Advertiser stated
that Alasku would prove to be
something more than an ice house for
Uncle Sam. There have been a number
of developments'in that country
that prove our contention true.
Here is the latest. Mr. Meredith,
our new Secretary of Agriculture
says:
"Alaska is destined to become a
second Norway, with her enormous
forests of rapidly growing species
suitable for pulp, her water power
and her tide water shipment of manufactured
products, Alaska will undoubtedly
become one of the principal
paper sources of the United
States. A substantial development of
the paper industry in this wonderful
region, combined with the intelligent
reforestation of pulp lands in
the older regions, should settle forever
the question of a paper shortage
in the United States."
POPULATION DRIFT
TOWARD THE CITIES
"Where are all the people coming
from?" is a question frequently
heard in our cities. Almost every
town in the country, from the largest
to the smallest is experiencing an
acute shortage of houses. In places
where three or four years ago a
large percentage of the houses were
vacant, a place to live can now hardly
he had for love or money. Preliminary
census figures are showing heavy
gains in populations for many of
our cities during the past ten years.
Figures fov- the rural districts have
not yet beiji gives out, but we would
not be surprised to see decreases in
many farmtfig sections.
These *^ts to us indicate one
thing in particular, and that is that
the farming business must be made
more attractive if people are to remain
on the farms and production
maintained or increased. The farmer
trills til town milililir luiouliu.i \uuirac
"'"""J " "h
in town art* bettor than he can make
farming, and so long as this is true
wo may expect the drift from country
to city to continue, with decreased
farm production following in consequence.
Prices of farm products are high,
of course, when compared with prewar
prices; but when compared with
other commodity prices they are not
high. Railing at tne farmer as a profiteer
will get the city consumer nowhere.
In fact, any effort that unduly
lowers the prices farmers receive for
products is bound in the end to put
prices higher than ever; because if
the bussiness of farming is made unprofitable
enough farmers will quit
or so reduce production that the demand
will automatically force prices
up.
The country and the world need
more food and clothing, but to get
them a fair price to the farmer?a
price that will insure him a wage
in line with what urban workers receive.?
will be necessary?The Progressive
Farmer.

' A SECOND APPLICATION
OF FERTILIZER
All fertilizer manufacturers and i
dealers report that the movement of i
. ! t'lk'or:. and fertilizer materials]
is several weeks behind the usual
I schedule. Not only have strikes and 1
other causes delayed the getting of
raw .materials by manufacturers and
mixer-, but the railroads have not i
moved shipments with the necessary
.'promptness asd rapidity. The facto-;
; ries are three to five weeks behind
' i with their orders, due to car short- !
I"'1^'- . . I
Moreover, there are strong indi-'
cations that there is a greater desire

i fact, it is estimated that some of the
) Southeastern states that have used
I large quantities of fertilizers in the
past ,wil! use 20 to 25 per cent, more
^ this y.-ar than usual if they can get
_, them.

plies are short and high-priced. Cottonseed
meal, tankage and like materials
which have in past been largely
used to supply nitrogen are such
valuable feeding stuffs that their
prices have become almost prohibitive
of their u^e as fertilizer. Sulphate of
ammonia, a by-product of coke ovens, : ,
is less abundant because of coal I I
jtrikes and lack of transportation. !
Nitrate of soda has not been brought j
from South America in sufficient i
quantities because of a Tack of ship
ping facilities. The supplies of acid I
phosphate have been lessened also by
strikes, lack of transportation and in- 1 ^
ability to procure necessary materi- di
als for its manufacture. And potash ^
has neither been produced in this (
country nor brought from France and y?
Germany to meet demands. In short, co
the demand is greater than usual, 1 ?'
ac
the supplies available being less than
the demands and the railroads have ^
not been able to move the products (jj
rapidly enough to meet the require- ?
ments of the trade.
The results are that many believe p(
that it will not be possible for the far- ' w
mers of the South to obtain their aj
fertilizers in time to put out the full j p,
amounts which they want to use at m
the time of or before planting the c8
crops.
As evidence accumulates, it tends j m
to show that the best time to apply th
fertilizers is at the time of or be- pi
fore planting the crops. That is,
when all things are considered it is sil
doubtful if a given amount of fer- th
