Wood's Seeds
Tall Meadow ;
Oat Grass
is one of the best of hay and. pastu
rage grasses tor our out wand ;
considered better than . orchard
grass for light, and medium soils;
a:so makes an excellent jcomDina
tion with orchard "grass, and red
clover for hay and pasturage.
It is rapidly increasing in popu
larity wherever sown. We Strong
ly recommend it as one of the
surest cropping and most depend
able grasses grown.
"Wood's Croo Soeclal
for September gives specially .foil
information about this vaiuaDie
grass, also prices and seasonable in
formation about all Seeds for

TXTE JIAVE ieore" us two eharac-
.tefs, one the landowner; the
other.- the non-landowner,', dependent
-epon ea.ch. other. The question then
is;' What is'the duty of " one to the
other prK-y t m , , ;
- U The landowner- should furnish
comfortable houses for his help. ".
2. No landowner should admit" as
. a; partner, on; half shares Or apy" oth-
cr snare, an. inemcieni man, vvnite or
colored. -The .man who does not know
how to farm should work -for wages
until he learns how to farm. No man
with an earning capacity of two hun
dred dollars per 'year should he given
credit for five hundred dollars per
year" and then allowed- to; iise "Jiis
poor judgment in-the. management of
the crops and the land. . .
. 3, The landowner "should make
the necessary advancesjin supplies
and add only legal interest for the
use - of. his money.," .This plan would
put cash into the pockets of. his ten
ant, who. is helping .him to work his
surplus land.:sinstead of gwing it to
the merchant who figures the interest
and. then adds a pretty good percent
for doing business.
The man" whp' rents for a money
consideration should lease for a ser
ies of years, giving .approved bond
that at the end of the lease the, land
-shall show as. good producing power
as it did when he began. Should he
increase the productive - power, then
the landowner should pay for the in
crease. :v"'v
" In all cases the tenant should be
required to rotate tne crops so that
at least every , other year humus-
making crops should be- plowed un
der. v
6. White and colored teriarits
should, if possible, be grouped sep
arately. in seilmg land, the same
plan should be observed. -
7. The scale for wages should be
according to the earning capacity of
the ; laborers. ";. ' .. ;'- .".;',
8. "TWe should encourage more to
buy land and fewer to rent. Small
landowners living upon their farms
will develop the soils, homes, schools,
churches and - community "environ--ments,
while the 'large landowners
