DOWN WITH THE REVOLVER.
Here is a statement to the effect
that there are 10,000 persons
killed in this country every year
and nine in ten of them would not
have been killed were it not for the
handy revolvers. A Kentucky
judge is quoted as saying, in thirty
years experience he never tried a
murder case but what occurred be
cause of the violation of the law
prohibiting the carrying of con
cealed weapons. The revolver is
a terrible foe to humanity. It is :
dangerous anywhere and all the 1
time. The most vigorous law I
a gainst it should be passed and en- 1
forced. '
The federal government should i
take a hand in this, and rule it out
of interstate commerce, and punish
any man severely who is caught
violating the law. That would be ■
an effective way of stamping out
murder, far more than all the pris- ;
ons artd executions would do. We ]
hope before President Wilson goes ,
out of office he will slip a paragraph ,
to this effect in one of his mes- (
sages. He will save thousands of 1
lives if he does.—Ohio State Jour- ;
nal. *_ i
THE BOY IN THE COUNTRY TOWN.
With a single exception, every
member of President Wilson's cab
inet began life as a boy in a small
country town. Making the best
use of early opportunities, they de
veloped their talents by study, ;
steadily working their way through ]
college to the broader experience
in the affairs of life which ultimate
ly fitted them to become “cabinet
timber." Their example should be
an inspiration to those who, being
raised in a small country town, are
apt to think their surroundings as
unfavorable. If a youth has ambi
tion and energy he will surely find
the gate of opportunity open. In
no part of the world have their
been finer illustrations of the de
velopment of self reliance, pru
dence, concentration and those
other traits of character than in
the country town or village. —

Nebraska farmers and all those who
sold out and went to Texas will be
very sorry next fall that they were
so hasty._
Young men should eschew bad
company if they want to get out of

□ y G. H. ALFORD, Agricultural Ex
tension Department, International
Harvester Company of New Jersey.
During the last tor. years our acre
yield increased, but not half as much
as the increase in population. Wo
have all heard tho old Dutch
proverb quoted before, but we
cannot quote it too often: “No grass,
no stock; no stock, no manure; no
manure, no crops.” Holland is almost
entirely a grass and stock country,
and lands are worth on an average
$500 per acre. These people have
found that they can make more out '
af land from grass and live stock than
they can by cultivating it.
Unnumbered acres of hill land in
the cotton belt are making less than
one-third bale of cotton per acre, and
»t the same time making poverty for
those tilling them. The cost of com- I
mercial fertilizer applied annually is
appalling. The razor-back terraces,
novered with weeds, grass and briars,
ind the circles and short rows pre
vent the use of labor-saving imple
ments.
We are sending millions to the
northern states every year to pay for
pork products, dairy products and
beef. This money should be kept at
Some and deposited in our banks un
:il they are full to overflowing and the
rate of interest lowered to, say, six
per cent., because of the abundance
pf money. Then we will have the
necessary money to butld good roa's,
:o pay good teachers better salaries
;o teach longer terms, to improve our
I
farms and to build comfortable homes
and put telephones and libraries in
them. Then our boys and girls will
stay on the farm, and we will behold
prosperity in every department of the
commercial world.
The south has an overwhelming ad
vantage over every other section in
live stock raising. We have great,
climatic advantages that permit out

iloor pasturing land feeding during t.hft
" hole, or the greater part of tbe year.
We can obtain large yields of oats,
leguminous crops, Johnson and Ber
muda grasses, sorghum cane hay, and
an abundance of coni for the ■•malting
of silage, the most economic form of
carbohydrates. The keeping of good
cattle and the intelligent use of thor
oughly good permanent pastures and
grazing crops, and the economic use
of the silo and cotton seed meal wilt
make our lands rich, keep millions of
dollars at home that are now sent to
tbe north and west, and make our
people prosperous.
In the eotton belt live stock farm
ing has been avoided mainly for two
reasons: (1) Because all-cotton farm
ing paid better until the soil became
poor; (2) because of the cattle tick.
Now, millions of acres are too p.mr
to grow cotton profitably, and we can
easily eradicate tbe cattle tick. Since
the work of eradicating the tick was
inaugurated, nearly 200,000 square
miles have been cleaned for all time;
this is an area over three times as
large as Alabama. The tick injui^s
the hide, reduces the milk flow' at
least ten per cent., makes it very dif
ficult to fatten cattle, prevents the in
troduction of good cattle to breed up
our native cattle, lowers the price o;
our cattle on the markets and de- 1
s.roys more than enough cattle every
year to pay for its eradication.
The days of iho tick sire numb-red.
The last tick will he destroyed in a
few years, and then the south will
adopt a permanent system of agricul
ture promising prosp rity to present
population and to posterity.

The long wet fail has made the seed situation
