3 INCREASED FARM PRODUCTION
The empty Market Baskets of the World are com-
ing to America. Can we fill them? Bring the
farmers into closer touch with the State and the
United States Department of Agriculture for the
purpose of obtaining expert, practical advice on
farm problems, such as Fertilization, Rotation of
Crops, Intensive Cultivation, Farm Labor, Farm
Management, Marketing, Etc.

THE LAND OF “OPPORTUNITY.”
4n all the history of this southern land of ours there has never been a time
“O rtun ty” has been io insistently knocking at the door as now. Every
» t e the vlieels of industry are whirling, whi e the pick and plov» are prepar-
iihj to b’ ing forth the treasures of mine and field. By co-operation of effort, and
an ur s•. fisfi “pulling toge her,” good citizens may lay the foundation and build
the great c;ty of tomorrow out of the small town of today.
FE II ’.N HUNDRED SOUTHERN TOWNS LIKE YOURS.
r -‘ vetn the Potomac and the Gulf of Mexico there are fifteen hundred
t s 14 . yj-TS. Some larger, some smaller. They include a larger percentage
of r.nglish peaking, native born Amer icans than any other similar area of ths
ent.ro United S ates. There Is a larger percentage of church membership and
lurch attendance, and there is a h.gher moral tone prevailing in the homes of
tr.cv townv t an in any other section of this great country. Whenever a young
n n :r young woman leaven one of these towns to seek his or her fortune in one
of the great cities, they leave behind them a better home and better infiuencee
than they will ever find elsewhere

2 BETTER SCHOOLS
Ignorance tends to poverty and poverty tends to
crime. The majority of the law-breakers and
criminals in oui county jail are illiterate Educa- I
tion prevents crime. It costs less to give a boy a
good education and start him on a useful career
than it would cost later on to give him a trial
and execute him for committing a crime; and the
result is more satisfactory. We want our town I
to have as good schools as can be found in the

and Amusements affect Character. Impure water,
foul closets, filthy back yards, merchandise unpro-
tected from flies, affect Health. We don’t want
any more Typhoid Fever, Malaria, Diphtheria, in
