Large Acreage and Small Yield versus
Small Acreage and Large Yield

Mr.. n. w. Glover, a prosperous farm
er living near Merrelton, will make two
bales of cotton to an acre of land. He
planted the Peterkin seed, which turns
out forty pounds of lint to one hundred
pounds of seed cottOu.-Hot Blast, An
niStOn, Ala.
More of our Southern farmers would
be prosperous if they would give
more attention to good seed, manuring
the land aud thorough cultivation.
This is best accomplished by planting
smaller areas. At planting time it may
sound "big" to talk of having one hun
dred acres of any one crop, but at gath
ering time the farmer who planted ten
or twenty acres-as much as he could
obtain the best results frOm-is the
wiser and richer man, when he can
show yield of two bales of cotton or
one hundred bushels of corn to the acre
than his oBe-hundred- neighbor
who only harvests One-third of bale
of cotton and twenty and twenty five
bushels of corn from each acre of his
one hundred. Many" prosperous farm
ers" owe their prosperity to tho fact
that they have succeeded in quadrup-
ling the yield at relatively less cost
This is the safest road to success in
farming, and when more of our farmers
realize that the big yield pays better
than the talk of big acreage, then will
farming become more profitable and
those engaged in it better satisfied

WORDS OF WISDOM.
For Farmers as well as for Journalists.
New South.

New SOutn.
There Is one thing upon which Southern PEG
ule are to be congratulated, and that is the
Character of the southern press. The greal
majority of Southern papers are neatly printed
and carefully ecited. Nor is this all, for most
of the managers are not only Intelligent. Dul
alive to the needs OF their sections, ana are uli
selfish and untiring in their effort to promote
the best interests of the South. Republican
and Democrat may fly at each others head dur.
ing political campaign, but upon lnuustflal
questions and general prosperity they are pref
ty nearly unit.
The greater portion of the press appears to
realize, too, the necessity of encou aging the
farmers, and not a few are devoted Ill Their Ell
forts to bring about diversified system or
agriculture. The papers also manifest d lively
branches OF farming in their various localities.
This is as it should be, and they may safely
count upon reaping reward commensurate
with the effort. Farmers are some lines SLOW
to take hold of matter, but the persistent ef-
fort OF the press to better their condition must
be recognized in time, aud appreciation Will
follow LII order to keep up with the worlds
progress it is necessary to read, and the pro-
rressiye country weekly need have little to
fear for its future. A good paper well managed
creates something OF sense OF local pride, and
this must ever increase as the farmers become
more awakened to the fact that they must read
us well as work.
before the Southern people, that diversified
knowledge among the people are the greatest
OF present needs, the prosperity OF the south
will be much greater i'll the future than 1t has
been in the past. 1t may be added too, that to
read the papers is one Of the chief duties Of
man, il he would be prosperous and we'll i'll
formed The newspaper has long been the crl-
terlOn by which the outside world measures
the intelligence of community; to bring this
criterion TO creditable standard the cOnmu-
nifty should be generous in its support of its

notwithstanding Mr.. LIGHTS latest estimate re-

ton Of the beet crop, coupled with the fact that

lack of capacity, to manufacture over 9OO, QUO
