Opposed te Fanpor Laker. , A few weeks ago the Georgia Fanners' Union held a meeting and declared they wished no immigrants in Georgia from Southern Europe, That resolution was widely quoted and has been much discussed. The Rochester (N. Y.) Farm Stock Journ al, which is edited with appreciation of live topics and with uncommon good judgment, writing about the action of the Georgia farmers says: ."The Farmers' Union of Georgia, with a membership of 80,000, ha gone on record as -opposed to the movement to bring immigrants from Southern Europe into the South. At a largely attended convention held in Atlanta, a resolution was unani mously adopted condemning the im migration movement and calling on the legislature to make no appropri- ation for the purpose of inducing foreigners to come to Georgia. The union opposes immigration on the ground that undesirable citizens will be brought into the State; that they will crowd the native Georgians out of the factories by working for low er wages, and that the admission of so many will increase the production of cotton and lower the prices. During the debate' speaker after speaker, all of them farmers, paid tribute to the negro as a laborer when false ideas are kept out of his head. All said that the negro was infinitely preferable to such foreign ers as it was proposed to bring South.- 'I--' v .... We believe pur Southern friends have acted wisely in this matter. No good can come to the South or its people by filling the country with cheap farmers and the factories with cheap labor from over seas. This does not indicate, however, that the farmers of the South oppose all im migration, for we know from a per sonal knowledge that no people are more hospitable and friendly to new comers from the North and from Northern Europe than are the rural folk of Dixie." laying Heat and Cera ea Credit. We feel an interest in every phase of farm life and conditions and high prices are to ou advantage if we manage well; but our sympathy cer tainly goes out to the farmer .who has to buy corn and meat on a credit at the prevailing high prices. It is an old saying "a pound of cotton for pound of meat;", but at 12 1-3 cents to 15 cents as many will have pay, the meat keeps ahead of cotton in value. ? Then think of a poor man toiling to make money to buy .corn at $1.00 per bushel, when if he would but learn he could grow it for 20 cents. '. It is certaialy a sad com? ment upon our benighted condition our slavery to an unwise system. Many are breaking away from this old one-crop system but we must keep preaching again and working until at least a great 'majority are raising their own supplies.-;; Friends, if any ofyou are buying corn and meat on credit, take an oath never to place yourself in such a depend ent and un-f arm-like position again. Southeni Cultivator. . - The Farm Garden. Too many farmers think they do not have time to bother with so small thing as a garden. The women and children manage the seed sown, but the task of keeping it clean is too much for them, and long before fall the garden is a waving patch of weeds, . It is a mistake to think of of the garden as a small thing for if properly managed it will furnish half the living for, the family during the summer months. By laying out the garden m fong rows almost all the work of cultivating can bedone with horse tools. The modern cultivator can be adjusted so as to do almost the work of a hoe and an hour or two each week will keep the weeds down and the soil in the best condi tion for rapid growth. - Another thing that will save much vexation is a chicken-tight fence around , the garden. Such a fence will pay for itself in a very few years. Ex. - Take the Postmaster's Word. Mr. F. M.

Guar anteed, lor Piles -Burns, etc., by Nashville Drug Co, Leaks Fsr Farmers te Step. . Various calculations have been made about how many millions of dollars Southern farmers lose every year through the course of many of them in leaving their cotton exposed to the weather while holding it for higher prices. Such careless people also suffer heavy losses on cotton seed. It seems that tobacco grow ers similarly offend against thrift and themselves. The following from the Mount Airy News: . "It is astonishing to see the condi tion of the tobacco that is being sold oh this market. It does seem that the farmers would that they are loosing much money by bringing their tobacco here in a damaged condition We stood on the warehouse floor to day (Wednesday) and saw the com monest lugs sold for nine cents, and the very next pile which appeared to be a fine grade of wrappers sell for five cents. The last pile was badly damage, and not of much value to any one. Tobacco that is in good codition is bringing in the neighbor hood of ten cents around from what we could judge by a careful exami nation of the tobacco we saw sold, But there is not less than half of the weed that is badly damaged." If there was ever a time when any farmer was unable to provide prop er shelter for his harvestings, that time is now past, and we trust that losses to the South . through this cause will henceforth diminish. Charlotte Observer. Neglecting Corn to Work Cotton. We do not want to complain too much, but from all we can see and hear, farmers are neglecting their corn to work their cotton. As cot ton is late and as money must., come from the cotton crop, we cannot ex pect things to be different. We are glad to say a good crop of corn has beeji planted and we hope the farm ers will be able to work it well. Do not neglect it any longer than pos sible. We do not expect to let up our efforts until Southern farmers raise their supply of corn and then utilize the stalks for cattle food. We want to call your attention to this very significant fact this system of working the cotton and neglecting the corn shows our dependent posi tion. If growing cotton exclusive ly was as profitable as many believe, or argue, why are the people still so poor and dependent upon the credit system? Friends, get our from un der bondage as rapidly as you can, Land you will do so just in proportion as you raise corn and your home supplies. Southern Cultivator. The Lord Settled It. A right good story comes to us by grape vine telegram Irom over the line in Warren. It seems that the members of a colored Baptist church in that good old county became- dissatisfied in regard to the ownership of the building, and they actually went to law to settle the matter.. After hearing all of the evidence, as the story goes, the Jus tice of the Peace rendered his de cision, which was not altogether satisfactory to both sides, and one side appealed to the Superior Court. This was on last Saturday night a severe storm arose and the church was struck by lightning, dividing it in halves. Our "telegram" did not state whether the appeal had been withrawn, but w6 suppose it has. Franklin Times. . ' Don't Lay By Too Early. It is a bad plan to quit working crops early any year. All crops and especially cotton and corn are cut short every year by this plan. It is pity after the land has. been well prepared and manured to injure the crop for lack of the last plowing. Remember the crops this year are three weeks late. Don't consider the time of the year nor the heat but work the crop late if you want the best result.
