Postmaster
General Burleson, who went on to ex-
plain that he hoped to bring it about
just as soon as revenues of the depart-
ment could be adjusted.
The Postmaster General told the ad-
vocates of I-eent letter postage that
he had long believed that their con-
tention was right, lie stated, however,
that as head of the department it was
his business to see that sufficient rev-
enue was raised to meet all expenses
and, while he admitted that there was
a big surplus received from first-class
mail each year, he added that it would
be necessary to make such an adjust-
ment of rates as would put the depart-
ment on a business basis.
Postmaster General Burleson Is
strongly In favor of putting the postal
department on an efficient basis. He
also favors adequate compensation for
postal employes and such a readjust-
ment of rates as will permit the oper-
ation of the department in a business-
like manner.

As stated above, Mr. Sharp's money
crop is his tomatoes. He has grown
some cotton all along, but considers
it a much less satisfactory crop than
tomatoes. The only cotton on his
place this year is being grown by a
tenant, and he told me that he never
expected to grow another stalk of cot-
ton. He has grown tomatoes for 15
years and has never made a failure,
and he has always gotten a good price
