Thursday, September 26, 1912.] THE CAROLINA UNION FARMER Page Seven the memorial to dr. seaman A. KNAPP. A living, useful memorial will be erected in honor of the late Dr. Sea man A. Knapp, of the United States Department of Agriculture, founder of the Farm Demonstration Work. The Knapp Memorial Committee has decided to raise $150,000 with which to purchase and equip a farm and erect a building in connection with the Greater Peabody College for Teachers, in Nashville, Tennessee. The General Education Board of New York recently appropriated $250,000 to endow the '"Seaman A. Knapp School of County Life. Nothing like this school has ever been worked ou; ^■iiywhere. It is a great opportunity tor a distinctive work and a great service. The memorial building for the purposes of this school will be lo cated on the campus of the Peabody College, and will contain a life-sizec statue of the South’s great benefac tor and friend, so that his great, mas terful, benevolent personality will al ways be an inspiration to the thou sands who may come and go. The farm. will be located within ten or twelve miles of Nashville, and will be conducted in accordance with the Demonstration methods. It will con tain about two hundred acres. Pure bred seed and animals will be de- 'oloped. The best devices and imple ments will be used. Crop rotations be Avorked out for different Southern conditions. Demonstration ^Sents, rural school supervisors. State ^od County Superintendents of Edu- cation and other workers will make his farm a rallying point, in order to ^^rry back to their States the bene- '^s of the Avork done there. Corn Club boys and Canning Club girls ''111 also make occasional trips to this ^Sricultural Mecca for inspiration ^ud instruction. The pure-bred prod Ucts of the Knapp Farm will be of- cred as prizes to the boys and girls 'ho (io the best Avork. The Knapp Memorial Committee uusists of the following members: Chancellor David C. Barrow, Ath- ®Us, Georgia. Cii’- S. P. Brooks, Waco, Texas. Governor G. W. Donaghey, Little ®ck, Arkansas. Don. J. E. Ransdell, Lake Provi- cuce, Louisiana. Don. John Fields, Oklahoma City chlahoma.

Early, who 'VQr- director of the Corn Club Cum Tennessee. The plan of the to ^^Dtee was presented late in July the Teachers’ Summer School at brgf ^^^'’ersity of Virginia. At the 'Vag Presentation more than $1,000 ^each ^'^bscribed, and hundreds of mitt volunteered to aid the Com- itleg^^ their school and commun- Parji, Darly appeared before the ®r8’ Round-Up Institute and Meeting of Demonstration Agents at the Agricultural College of Alabama and explained the plans for the Me morial. Five hundred dollars in con tributions and five hundred in sub-1 scriptions were raised in a few min utes. State committees have been organized in all the Southern States, and the work of raising the memo rial funds will be pushed with all possible speed. Hundreds of kUters have already been received by the Knapp Memorial Committee approving the form of the Memorial. There seems to be a feel ing that it is in harmony with Dr. Knapp’s life and work because it will be continually rendering service and doing good. In fact, his own senti ments infiuenced the decision in re gard to the Memorial. In one of his last speeches he said: “The least worthy monument to a mnn is a granite block or a marble shaft. They represent the dead man’s money and the kindness of friends. The true monument is what the man has accomplished in life. It may be a better gate, or house, or farm, or factory; put his name on it and let It stand for him.’’ When the Avorries and cares of the day fret you, and begin to wear upon you, and you chafe, under the friction •—be calm. Stop, rest for a moment, and let calmness and peace assert themselves. If you let these irritat ing outside infiuences get the better of you, yoti are confessing your in feriority to them by permitting them to dominate you. Study the disturb ing elements, each by itself, bring all the will power of your nature to bear upon them, and you will find that they will, one by one, melt into nothingness, like vapors fading be fore the sun.—William G. Jordan. We hear a good deal about “sys tems,” and’while system of some sort is essential to success, to learn to do by doing a thing is the surest, safest, sanest system of all—Farmer’s Home Journal.

C., Sept. 23.— President Finley, of the Southern Raihvay Company, speaking to-day of the contract recently let by the Chesapeake Steamship Company for the construction of two steamers for service betAveen Baltimore, Md., and West Point, Va., by way of Chesa- pc:>\o .'Ji '• Mid the York River, said; “e cc!i pletion of these steamers wii! .SIto freight and passenger trafilc in the territory traversed by the Southern Raihvay in Eastern Vir ginia. it. is expected that this service will be an important factor in the ma terial development of that territory. “The larger part of the passenger traffic to be handled by the new ser vice Avill be that between Baltimore and Richmond. Rail and steamer schedules will be so arranged that passengers leaving Baltimore in the early evening will be in Richmond early the following morning, and those leaving Richmond in the early evening Avill reach Baltimore early in the morning. The line will partici pate in the present large movement of freight between Richmond and Baltimore, and it Is expected that the additional and improved facilities af forded will lead to an increase in the volume of traffic through the larger industrial development of the terri tory affected. “One of the important results of Hie neAv service is expected to be the larger development of fruit and vege table production as a result of pro viding quick and more frequent ser vice to the markets of Baltimore and points beyond.
