Sena- j I tor Hoke Smith, of Georgia, has intro duced a bill In the Senate "to promote l the education of Illiterates, of persons unable to understand and use the Eng lish language, and other resident per j ■one of foreign birth," and the same j measure has been introduced in the \ House by Hon. William B. Bankhead, •f Alabama. The Introduction of this Important bill means a great deal to the South, which, because of its negroes and mountain whites, has long borne a reputation for illiteracy Out of propor tion to that of the rest of the coun | try. Just what steps will be immedi- I ' ately taken as the result of the passage of the education of illiterates bill at . Washington cannot be stated at this | time, but, certainly, practical meas ures will be put Into operation for the ! establishment of schools in both rural districts and cities. ' Other organizations besides that of the government are at work on the I same problem—the establishment of school* In the heart of tenement dis tricts and rural communities being a ! matter of first Importance with all ot I them. One of the most significant ' movement* of the times in this ton nection is that of the Centenary of the Methodißt Episcopal Church, South, because that denomination will expend within the next five years over I $3,000,000 among the uneducated I classes In the Southern and Western States. The church Is to raise a fund | of $36,000,000 in an eight-day drive in • April, the financial campaign being a par{ of the Centenary Celebration of the denomination. Tho money Is be ing raised with a view to putting the work of the church on a business basis, the church considering its duty to the Illiterates here In America to be among the matters of first Importance , which It should undertake. A survey j has been made and the result of the campaign will be the apportionment of $3,000,000 among the various Illiterate population a* follows: Mountain pop olatlon, $750,000; Immigrant, $900,000; negroes, $600,000; Indians, $l5O 000; cotton mill population, $150,000; Chris tian literature for all of them, SIOO,OOO With the definite step undertaken at Washington, with one denomination already completing Its plans for fur thering the work among them, and with other churches and organizations getting ready to ,'otn hands in their behalf.

Last year the average of farm earnings broke all records. Six million farms in 1918 produced crops worth $12,280,000,000. This year it is estimated that a greater wheat acreage than ever will bo sown. Naturally, the farmer is making tho most,of his opportunities, and with guaranteed wheat prices and high prices for everything ha grows, tho outlook for him is most encouraging. And Europe will fur nish a market for his fat hogs and steers.
