M^NDS EDITORIAL.
... " April 1st, 1922.
Mr. Editor:-- .
I am highly pleased with your e3.
~?'ito-rial, ?!"Farm Lands and Taxca,"
in this weeks Courier. You' told. tHf
truth, the whole truth fond nothing
"but the truth. I am glad you are atand
Itig up for ttrafapmen, that_you hare
respect ' and sympathy for tU>m in
their m^Ttreatment unO oppression,
- end we' tmrman phtouTd appreciate,
ami concur jo oVery word you said,
ff - _ . -t } - la our bahaif la your editorial, and
- ~ - show our appreciation In a substantial
way.-Jf we farmers could get the
" " public press of our land and country
. t- on our side, it would'he great help
' . In fighting the battleyTrighting the
-wrongs, and beariifg the burdens
2 * of life. .
But esucll fit our trouble and grief
we bring on ourselves, and the "far-:
mer is - partly to blame for his herd
timer Plant more coin, raise our own
home supplies, is what ws have been
hearing for years; and it seems to ins
it is time to hear, act and heed. People
know say a big tobacco crop
this year would be ruinous. I think It
* would be a wrge plan to decrease "the
toDacco crop, ang, piant- imore com ,
..._ and try to raise- feed---foT *>ur stock
' _ and riot have to buy Sfesim nUty. We
caty raise it moift"'. anywhere ' in our
'' -L ~ : State, tt we glfe It IhO alUiiitiuii SI!
V should. Some farmer* - roM- a portion-of
their last year's tobacco crop
?for about .the same price - of hayr
when we can raise hay 3hcl Other ,
feed for about 1-5 what it costs to
raise tobacco. Where is the wisdom,
honor or profit of this?
I read with interest Mr. W. A.
-f. ' Warren's article .in your \sat issue.
Moat^ of us kno?(. him to ,hi one of
our most -proqyinent and "honorable
-citizens, intelligent and influential.
What he says is worthy "of attention.
Many of us- want- the same information
that tic wants, especially, concern
ing our public schools and roads. He
says our schools are notAneeting the
? rerwiremdntS, which is only too sadly
- time wit!) many of out schools. If .
, - some of 'the so-called schools that I
' . know-something about, continue to
, decline in the next fifteen years as
" they have in the hist fifteen, they
T~ will not" b4~worthy of -the name of
And witli all our heavy tax
burdens, the powers that be say .tne "
. school "books for ''-next session twill

-are imperfect pr^d unsatisfactory,'whywore
they, paed .ab atf? .Therb is.mqro

imperfections- of pur* public? .schools.
Now a word about our-public roads

' pay our road "tax, bbt -some.ol u^ see.
