Burleson Usued a statement reiterat
ing his charge that certain railroads
brought about the defeat of the post
office appropriation bill in the laat
Congreaa because of Its provision for
changing railwayman pay from a

ed hia intention to renew his recom

Under the present system, accord
ing to Mr. Uurleson, some railroads
get much more than their shafe of
the money paid for transporting the
mulls, and substitution of the space
feasts not only would save money for
the Government, but would make pos
sible more equitable treatment of the

have this legislation Included in the
appropriation bill, the statement aays:
"It was and is a determined wsll
censldered effort to end a system un
der which the postal authorities are
compelled to stand helplessly by while
the railway* loot the postal revenues.
Although the railway* contend they
•re underpaid for carrying the malls,
the fact* are that they are overpaid
and that they are receiving from the

.FOR* BETTER FARMING,
fc " 0 «. **
Farmer Urged to Adopt
, Diversification.
Department of Agriculture Qlves Plan
for Reducing Living Expenses by
Growing Msny Things Which
the Family. Needs.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The secretary of agriculture In writ
ing recently to cotton exchanges In
the South, pointed out that the only
really efficient way to, prevent a re
currence of tho crisis which the col
lapse of the cotton market created
was for the southern farmer to diver
sify his agriculture. Hitherto the cash
returns from a successful cotton crop
have blinded inany farmers to the proof
of the old proverb that it Is folly to
put all your eggs in one basket They
have devoted all their land and all
their time to the production of cotton,
and have purchased their own sup
plies at a cost much greater than they
could raise them themselves.
The essential weakness in this prac
tice has long been spparent to agri
cultural experts, but their efforts to
secul-e more diversity In farming have
hitherto met with but little success.
It Is difficult to change habits of
many years standing, and the man
who has been accustomed to grow cot
ton and only cotton Is reluctant to
remodel his own farm, even after he
has become convinced of the necessity
of so doing.
To help meet this "situation, the
United States department of agricul
ture has prepared a series of articles,
of which this is the first, on the sub
ject of diversified farming In the
South. Theße articles will treat of
the raising of produce for home con
sumption In vegetable gardens, potato
patches, etc.; of such crops as corn,
beans, peas and other legumes, which
are both useful in themselves and may
be made to enrich instead of "Impover
ish the soil; and of poultry, dairy
products and live stock for home sse
and as a cash crop to serve as a
substitute. In part or in whole, for
cotton.
By the adoption of diversified farm
ing, the farmer may reasonably expect
to achieve several Important objects:
1. He may very materially reduce
his own living expenses by growing
on bis own land a great many of the
things which his family needs and
which he now purchases at the store,
paying, of course, a profit to the re
tailer and tbe middleman.
2. He should save a very consider
able proportion of his outlay on fen
tilizers by growing crops that add ni
trogen to the soil, and- by keeping live
stock to enrich it with manure.
3. He should grasp the opportunity
afforded by the increasing demand for
moat of all kinds to turn a large part
of his crops into stoclc to be sold t,o
slaughtering houses at a profitable
price. He should place himself in a
position where his entire prosperity
hi not dependent upon the demand for
any one article, when the strength of
that demand is determined by circum
stances entirely out of his own con
trol. In othei words, be should have
more than one thing to sell. All this
seems very simple, Igut up to the pres
ent time comparatively few farms in
the South have been managed with
these ends in view.
In a speech before the National
I>alry Show association In October,
1914, the secretary of agriculture stat
ed that the average lowa farm has six.
milch cows; the average South Caro
lina farm has one. In lowa, the av
erage farm has 35 hogs; In North
Carolina and Alabama, less than Ave;
In South Carolina less than v four. In
poultry the difference Is even greater.
One hundred and eight Is the average
In Iowa; less than twenty In North
Carolina and Alabama, and less than
seventeen In South Carolina. The re
sults of one Investigation show that
In Georgia the average farm home
produced less than two eggs a week,
less than two-thirds of an ounce of
butter, and two-thirds of a pint of
milk a day, and that the cotton crop
of the entire South did not pay for Its
food and feed bill. Thus it has been
estimated that Texas imports annual
ly more than $50,000,000 worth of
wheat, corn and oats; Georgia more
than (24,000,000; South Carolina more
than $20,000,000. and 12 southern
states more than $176,000,000. In ad
dition, more than $48,000,000 worth ot
meats, dairy and poultry products are
Imported each year.
To do away with this condition of
afTalrs Is one of the chief purposes of
diversified farming. It is not neces
sary for the South to compete In
there crops with other regions in the
open markets of the world, but the
home demand can be met by home
production, and enough left over to
form the basis of a very profitable
stock raising Industry.
In this connection it Is noteworthy
that already 223,000 square miles, or
an are* that Is greater than hat of
Georgia. Florida, Alabama DM Mis
sissippi added together, haa been
cleared -of the cattle tick, and that if
the work Is continued at the aame
rate of speed, the whole country
should be free of the pest within fif
teen year*. The cattle tick has, In
the past, been one of the greatest
drawbacks to the raising of live stock
In the South. It haa now been con
clusively shown that It can be com
pletely done away with, and with the
growing appreciation of the part that
live stock plays in sound agriculture,
there la no reason why this industry
should not advance with marked
rapidity.
Bofore, however, the farmer turna
his attention to marketing his ifroduce,
be It, Use stock or cotton, he shoald
Drat see to It that his own demands
are supplied; In other words, that he
grows himself,aa many of the neoee
altles of life as he can. For this rea
son. the "Home Garden" will be the
subject of the npxt article In this
eeriea.
FEED THE DAIRY COWS WELL
Cottonseed Meal la Convenient Feed
In Teaae and Oklahoma to Bal
ance Sorghum and Silage.
" (Bra* COTTREIJU)
Native pasture and silage should be
available summer and winter. The
silage ahould be fed generously at
any time of the year when the grass
la not sufflcient to secure a high yield
ot milk. In dry times daring the
summer and at all times daring the
winter, sorgham, hay and the hay from

Rye pasture asuajly can be provided,
and It makes a good winter feqjj, In
favorable years pasture may
furnish nearly all the feed needed
for a high yield during tha winter.
Five goM cows fed all they will eat
will yield more profit than IS halt
starved.
Tbe daily ration must be balanced
between the starchy, beat-making
feeds, like silage, sorghum hay, corn
fodder and millet, and the blood-and
muscle-making feeds like alfalfa,
sweet clover and Spanish peanut
hays. Every cow yields a good flow of
milk on green, ]usclous grass. The
furnishes about three and a
half parts of the starchy to one of the

"of
land farmers often say that sorghum
hay will "dry up" a cow If she Is given
enough of It. It will when fed alone,
but It may be fed In large quantities
to advantage when balanced properly
with hay from alfalfa, sweet clover
or Spanish peanuts. Cottonseed meal
is a convenient feed in Texas and Ok
lahoma with which to balance sor
ghum, millet hay and silage.
SOIL EROSIOhI IN THE SOUTH
Other Crops Must Be Grown Than
Those Requiring Clean Culture,
as Do cfttton and Tobacco.
The following statement regarding
soil erosion In the South Is taken from
the annual report of the bureau of
soils of the department:
"In a study of soil erosion in the
South it has been found that large
areas are lost to agriculture annually
through erosion. In some states vast
areas, amounting to as much as EO
per cent of the arable land of these
sections, have been abandoned. The
character of the erosion varies with
the type of soil. Usually, on the
heavy clay soils, "sheet" or surface
erosion is found. With increasing
proportion of sand in the soil the ero
sion changes to the "shoestring" type,
the* to the gully type, with rounded
edges, and finally to the gullies with
caving sides. The most rapid erosion
seems to occur in soils having a layer
of silt or clay at the surface and a
substratum of sand. This condition
usually leads to erosion of the deep
gully type, which IS difficult to check
and unprofitable to reclaim.
"All methods for prevention and
control are based either on increasing
the capacity for absorbing the water
as it falls, or on decreasing the veloc
ity of the run-off. A new method in
use in one locality Is the construction
of what are known as 'Christophers,'
the distinctive feature of this plan ly
ing in the manner of disposing of
storm waters. Across an incipient
gully is built a dam, through which Is
passed a sewer pipe connected with
an upright pipe on the upper side of
the dam. Water fills the valley until
it reaches the top of the upright pipe,
and then flows down this pipe in the
next field. The water left standing
below the mouth of the upright pipe is
gradually removed by a tile drain. It
is also demonstrated in the South that
other crops must be grown than those
requiring clean culture, as do cotton,
corn and tobacco."
Keep the Horse Busy.
The horse is an inexpensive animal
to feed and consequently should be
kept busy all the time if possible. If
this cannot be dope then be should
be fed as cheaply as possible. With
hay or other roughage and two pounds,
of cottonseed meal a day the idle
horse or mule can be kept In good
condition on a very small amount of
corn.
ENGLAND EXPLAINS BLOCKADE.
Great Britain Telle How She Will
Place Blockade on Germany.
London. — Great Britain made known
to the world In a formal proclamation
signed In council by the king and la
sued from Buckingham Palace how
she proposes to sever the arteries of
sea commerce to and from Oermany
daring the period of the war.
The term "blockade" Is not used
and no prohibited area la defined.
Nevertheless the text of the order
makes plsln England's purpose to pre
vent commodities of any kind from
reaching or leaving Germany during
the war.
The last clause of the proclamation
contains the proposal most Interesting
to neutrals. This to a flat agreement
to lift the "blockade" In case any na
tion will certify that Um ships flying
Its flag shall not carry goods to Ger
many or goods originating therein or
goods belonging to the subjects of the
German empire.
It to notable that the order declares
no Intention to capture ships proceed
ing to and from the countries of Ger
many'! alliee Austria and Turkey the
reason being no doubt that the meas
ure to avowedly a reprisal ag«lnst Ger
many's submarine warfare. However,
a cordon of ships will be maintained
to shut off the commerce of German

ward across the Atlantic, will. It to
expected, be seised before they reach
the North Sea. .

rnel, Judg. 11. 7-ID. Golden Text. Hoeea
xlv. 4. "1 will Ileal their backsliding; 1
1 will love them freely." God did
everything for Israel that influite love
could d> and axles so pathetically, in
lan. v. 4. "What could bare been done
more to my vineyard tbat I bare not
done In it?" He asked only tbat they
make no league with the inhabitants
of the laud, who were all idolaters, bat
keep themselves wholly for Him.
LESSON 11.-Jieborub and Barak De
liver Israel. Judg. Iv. 4-10. Golden
Text, Pa. xxxlv, 17, "The righteous
cried, and Jehovah beard and delivered
them-out of all their trouble**." It is
the same story over and over again—
they ginned, the enemy oppressed, they
cried to the Lord, and tie delivered
them. Tbix time He uses a woman,
but n man went along wbo would not
have gone without Deborah.
LESSON lll.—The Call of Gideon,
Judg. vi, 11-10, 33-40. Golden Text,
Pa. lxv,-4, "Blessed la the man whom
Thou cboosest." Now the oppressors
are. the Mldlnnites, and the oppression
is very severe-so great that if a little
grain ix to be kept for one's own use
it must be tlirasticd in secret. Gideon
while thus occupied Is visited by the
Lord (verse Hi and called to be the
deliverer.- strengthened by the assur
ance tbat (be one wbo sent bim would
be surely with him iverxes 14-161.
LESSON IW— Gldron and the Three
Hundred, Judg. vii, 1-8. 10-23. Golden
Text. Zech. Iv, 0, "Not by might nor
by power, but by My Spirit, saith Je
hovah of hosts." Tbe sifting of an
army of 32.000 down to 300 because all
tbe rest were afraid or loved their own
comfort was a very unusual proceed
ing and suggests tbe question. How
many professed followers of Christ
today are ready wholly to renounce
self and follow Him fully?
LESBON V.—The Birth of Samson,
Judg. xiiL 8-10. 24. 26. Golden Text,
Judg. xlil, 4. "Beware. I pray thee, and
drink no wlue nor strong drink." This
was tbe longest and fn some respects
the worst of nil the oppressions, forty
years under tbe Philistines, but again
tbe Lord delivered. Again tbe Lord
came i>erxonnlly to talk with tbe bu
mau nsfents. this time to visit her who
was to be tlie mother of tbe deliverer
and tell her the manner of tbe man.
I.ESSOS Vl.— ltuth Chooses the True
God. Itutli i. 018. Golden Text, Ruth
1. 10. "Thy people shall be my people
and thy God my God." All the dellv
ereivs were iu a measure typical of the
great Deliverer, but this Is the story
of one wbo came into tbe direct line
of our laird's human ancestry. By
tbe overruling of human failure this
devoted Gentile pluys a wonderful part
bi tbe great draniu of history, tbe heart
it which is His story.
LESSON Vll.—Samuel Called to Be a
Prophet. I Sam. ill. 1-13, 19. 20. Gold
en Text. I Sam. iii, 0, "Bpenk. Jehovah,
for Thy servant bcaretb." The quar
ter's lessons seem to be wholly on tbe
line of the Ixmi "delivering or pre
paring or culling the deliverer." Now
it is n lirokeu hearted, persecuted wo
man who Ix culled to be the mother
of the deliverer, nnd her song or pray
er is very similar to that of Mary In
Luke i.
LESSON VIII.— I The Death of Eli and
His Sons. I Sum. Iv. 1-13, 18. Golden
Text Jaa. i. 22. "Be ye doers of the
word and not hearers only, deluding
ycur own selves." Poor old Eli was hi
a measure out of fellowship, nnd God
had to speak to him through Samuel.
The cldera also were out of fellowship
and relied upon the ark rather than
upon the Lord, so tbat tbe Lord humil
iated tbem by allowing the ark to be
taken, Israel defeated, Ell's sons slain.
LESSON |J£— Samuel, tbe Victorious
Leader, I Sara, rll, 8-17. Golden Text,
I Sam. vll. 12. "Hitherto hath Jehovah
helped us." After Samuel returned to
Bamah, bis birthplace, which be seems
to have done after Eli'i death and the
loss of tbe ark. be led Israel back to
the Lord In penitence and devotion and
so defeated the Philistines tbat they
came no uiore into the coast of Israel
all tbe days of Samuel.
LESSON X.-Saul Anointed King,
I Bam. ix. 17: x, 1. Golden Text,
I Pet. IL 17. I'Kear God; honor the
King." That wbicii God bad fore
seen now comes to pass, and tbe peo
ple demand of Samuel a king iDeut
xvU, 14). Samuel felt gTeatly hurt, but
committed all to tbe Lord and was told
to'grant tbem a king, but under pro
teat Then the I»rU sent him the man
and afterward controlled tbe lot so
that tbe people elected htm.
LESSON XI.-Saul Gains His King
dom. I Sara. xl. Golden Text Prov.
ivl. 82. "He that b slow to anger la
better thsn the mighty, snd be that
ruleth his spirit than be tbat taketh
l city." Tbe l.ord gave Saul a victory
aver the Ammopltes and thus tbe es
teem of the people. He also gave Saul
rlctory over his own spirit so that be
could forgive bis enemies x. 27; xl, 18).
LESSON XII.-Jonathan and Bis Ar
mor Bearer. I Ram. xlv, IS. Golden
Text, Rom. xlll. 12. "Let us pot on tha
armor of light" Although only two
yean of Usui's reign had expired, ha
already began to fall la obedience id;
waa told that his kingdom coo Id not
continue. i
