i; ki*' L CAROLINA UNION FARMER [Thursday, April 3, 1913. A NEW ADMINISTRATION Governor Wilson became Presi dent Wilson at noon on the fourth day of March. We doubt if any man ever took his seat in the President’s chair, who had so many of the very best people in the country his friends and well wishers. Nor has a Presi dent ever been elected of whom the monopolists of the country have stood in so much fear. It is evident that he will either make a great success of his adminis tration, and in so doing make a lot of trouble for some people to whom trouble ought to come; or he will make a great failure and be a dissap- pointment to many. We hope for his success, and we expect it. We all know he is a thorough scholar. We all know that, whether as Presi dent of a college or Governor of New Jersey, he has said to a good many people: “This is the way; walk ye in it”; and they have walked in it, often quite unwillingly; but they have walked. What many of them have said in their hearts about him would not be fit to put in the dic tionary. Whether his administration is a great success or a great failure, he is likely to complete the smashing up of political parties that has been go ing on for the last eight years; and pave the way for the re-alingnment the country so much needs. There fore, the new President is entitled to the best wishes of all lovers of their country, and to the prayers of all good Christians; for in the provi dence of God he has been made the head of this great nation, on which the destinies of the whole world de pend quite largely. The success or failure of his ad ministration will depend on whether he is a leader or a ruler. The selec tion of his Cabinet indicates that he intends to follow what may be called progressive politics, as opposed to reactionary. He evidently believes that no party fit to live is satisfied with the present. When a man be lieves that his success is as good as achieved and that he has nothing more to do but take it easy, his use fulness is ended and he may about as well die one time as another. When a party believes that it has all the wisdom, and that anything that is not in the line of its party pol icy is wrong, it is time for that party to die; and for the good of the coun try it ought to die. When a church believes that it has all wisdom ex pressed in its particular creed, and that there is nothing further to be said, then it is time for that church to die. No party, creed or church is fit to live that is not willing to die if by its death the welfare of human ity can be advanced. The choice of President Wilson’s Cabinet indicates that the new Pres ident believes in progress. Most of them are pretty well known by repu tation to our readers. Therefore, while not belonging to or supporting his party, Wallaces’ Farmer hopes that the new administration will be successful in promoting the best in terests of the people, and does not care particularly what party or fac tions may be obliged to get out of the way as the country progresses. —Wallaces’ Parmer. JEWISH PARMER CREDIT UNIONS, In view of the large amount of talk concerning the need of credit unions for the farmers of this coun try, patterned somewhat after the credit system in Germany and other foreign countries, it is interesting to note that the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society has, in a quiet way, already established eight co operative farmers’ unions. Three of these were established in May, 1911, and the other five in the spring of 1912. A statement issued by the so ciety shows that these unions are do ing excellent work. The total mem bership of the eight is 240 farmers, with a capital of $4,223. In a year’s time these Local Unions made loans to the amount of $23,375. The Jew'- ish Agricultural and Ind.ustrial Aid Society has issued a pamphlet which contains the articles of incorporation and by-laws under which these farm ers’ co-operative associations are or ganized. AID TO LIVE STOCK INDUSTRY. Atlanta, Ga., March 12.—To give practical aid to live stock growers along its lines, the Southern Rail way Company has secured the ser vices of two experts in animal hus bandry: Dr. Walter Sorrell, who will be stationed at Greensboro, N. C-. and will work in Virginia, North and South Carolina, and Dr. C. D. Lowe, who will be stationed at Chat tanooga, Tenn., and will work in Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Ken tucky and Mississippi. They will be known as assistant live stock agents and will report to Mr. F. L. Word, live stock agent, Atlanta, Ga. Both Dr- Sorrell and Dr. Lowe have had years of practical experi ence in animal husbandry work. Both have been in the service of the Uni ted States government and are thor oughly conversant with conditions throughout the Southeastern States. The duties of these men will be to advise farmers as to feeding, breed ing and caring for live stock under conditions that exist in the territory along the Southern Railway, to as sist farmers in organizing live stock clubs and associations, to give prac tical demonstrations, and to be at the service of farmers without any cost to them, giving any information, rendering assistance and co-operat ing in any manner that will tend to aid and encourage the raising of more and better live stock. Color of yolk, quality of contents, and shape of eggs are all more or less governed by the food and feed ing. IN M£MOBIAM.
