Does your life seem full OF worry:
Do its daily cares Cypress?
Is your pathway sometimes shadowed
by some passing bitterness:
Then this lesson cen from nature
would teach you, worried one
Like the happy little clover,
Turn your face unto the sun.
Does your trouble seem too heavy
For your weary heart to bear:
Is your pathway wholly darkened
BY some overhanging care:
Then remember darkest objects
'Gainst the brightest light are seen;
And for having known the dark spots
Twill seem brighter in between.
Life IS full of little shadows
Lying darkly all around,
And Of course we needs must see them
If our eyes be on the ground.

Preparing for Picking and Ginning
Cotton.

Every farmer is alive TO the i'm
portance Of picking cotton a soon as
1t opens. The desire to get some
ready cash is sufficient iDducement
to prompt action. Bat every one is
not always ready for the work. Two
things are necessarY-something to
put cotton in as it is picked, the
other some arrangement for drying
cotton picked in forenoon. The lat
ter, though often neglected, is mat
ter Of great Importance. Green, wet
or damp cotton is very hard to gin I,
will not gin clean and makes very
poor Sample" 1t is extremely
doubtful if increased weight from
dampness offsets the loss of time in
ginning, the loss from lint left on
seed, and loss from reduced price
due to cut and mapped fiber. We
believe in present condition of the
cotton market 1t pays to handle the
crop nicely. 1t should be picked as
clean as possible and ginned in The
best stvle. We Know the difficulty
Of having cotton picked clean, when
it is picked by the hundred, as much
Of it is. Bot we should not give
way to these difficulties, but try to
overcome them in every way posi-
bic. One might offer little higher
price for clean picked cotton; he
would lose nothing, for the higher
price such cotton brings would more
than reimburse him. Occasional in
SECTIONS Of cotton during the day,
as It is being picked, calling atten-
ton TO trashy lots, would also exert
a wholesome influence. Giving pre-
ference, when practicable, to careful
picker5 would also help.
Bat to 90 back to appliances for
picking and drying cotton. For
holding cotton as it is being picked
baskets are Objectionable. They
have to be packed TO hold the cotton,
and damp cotton packed in a basket
has no opportunity to dry. Pot in
bulk in Clubhouse it still has no op-
rortunity to dry, and thus passes to
the gin, wet and unfit for ginning. A
solution Of this difficulty is found in
using sheets instead of baskets. II
sheet is spread in o sunny place,
and cotton spread upon It, the latter
has excellent opportunity to dry.
When shect is full it is tied up,
and the cotton is completely protect.

The directors of the Columbus Club
