FARMER AND PLANTER.
SPRING TIME.
Why Everything that Lives and Moves
Scratches the Earth in Spring.

why Everything that Lives and Moves
Scratches the Earth in Spring.
Somebody asked the question in
newspaper, 'why it was that every
thing that lives, moves and has being,
foes to scratching In the ground as soon
as winter re1axes its grasp and spring
time approaches"
No solution Was given, except the
slangy reply: Because it is t1atur."
Humankind, whenever it is left to
follow its instincts, in the spring, viii
do as all the rest of animated beings
try to do, namely: go to scratch
ing in the earth. Especially is
this true of farmers and gar
deners. 1t is either an instinct,
placed in US all for benefcent and far
reaching purpose, or the soil becomes
so attractive that we are irresistibly
drawn to the sport of scratching. The
farmers wife is prone to 1t. She loves
the smell OF fresh earth. She Is never
more complaisant than when her iege
lord gets ready to pillow or spade her
garden; and she promptly gathers up
her seed basket; to be ready for the
early planting. She is never disagree
able or doubtful about the future when
she sees the neatly drilled soil made
ready for the dropping of the seed she
had gathered so faithfully months be-
fore. Springtime is time of promise
and pleasure for the farmers wife, if she
has half chance She will get up be-
times to catch an early peep at the
plant-bed after a warm rain has fallen.
She will go as often as her duties will
permit, to feast her eyes on the tiny lit
tie plants that her anxiety is quick to
discover; and nothing pleases her half
so well, as to dibble about these little
pets-to provoke more rapid growth
and perfection. 1 have known them
farmers wives) to read vegetable cata-
logues with as much zest as other wom-
en- read the latest novel by The Duchess.
Oh how pleased they would be to have
a chance to try all those seed that made
such rarely beautiful tomatoes, celery or
cabbage, in the book! If you should
ask these farmers wives what they
wanted most in this world, at such
times-they would say, lust money
cHOuSl W Duy LltSe SetuS anu pretty
roses, that fill these attractive cata-
logues."
When the farmers of the south con-
clude to give their wives a patch or
farm land the money it brings) new
day will dawn for garden progress in
the south. They will have the best
tomatoes, the best celery, the best of
everything that will grow to perfection
and make profit; because each of these
faithful women will be ambitious to
see her own husband succeed
with her patch or farm, and nobody will
sing his praises half so loudly or SO sin
cerely as his own grateful wife, when
he makes grand success of the work
Give the farmers wives chance, and
see what their springtime mania for
scratching in the earth will do for all
the people at home and outside, as soon
as they get money enough to invest in
what they need, to make this scratch
ing in the earth both pleasant and prof
liable. There is no purer or more
healthful pleasure than gardening,
either for pleasure or for profit, no mat
ter who tries it.-Southern Farm.

COLLEGE WOMEN.
They Prefer Studies That Men Are Begin
ming to Neglect.

They Prefer Studies That Men Are Begin
ming to Neglect.
1t is curious to note that the form of
education which women seem lust now
most anxious to obtain is almost purely
literary. At time when men are loud
ly complaining that Oxford and Cam
bridge have almost cut themselves off
from the active life of the country, and
that by neglecting the practical study of
law, medicine, surgery and technical
production they have resolved them
selves into what would be called at a
Continental university gigantic Fac
ulty Of Arts, women are crowding to
these discredited institutions and eager
ly taking up the abandoned "arts," as
the latest and most complete form of in
tellectual life open to them. While men
are beginning to assert that they can no
longer afford the luxury of a university
education, that they must leave that
either to the men of leisure or the fu-
ture schoolmasters and teachers, women
turn to it as perhaps the most practical
opening left to them. Perhaps they are
right. 1t is not impossible that in time
women's hands may have a great share
in the higher secretarial and educational
work of the country. But there is no
form of opinion more fuctuating than
the views of women as to their place
and possibilities in life.
The change of ideal from that of
household usefulness at the end of the
last century to elegant usefulness at the
beginning of the present century has
been succeeded by a strong bias towards
literature and culture. 1t is not impos-
sible that this may in turn be replaced
by an experiment in women's capabili-
ties in the technical instruction which
is coming on as the practical balance to
the literary activity of the last few
years. Some of the most fascinating,
and not the least remunerative. of the
minor arts, such as wood carving, de-
signing and house decoration, are
already Taught with singular success by
women, and the demand of the county
councils for lady instructors in house
hold management, and even in scientific
dairywork, has already outstripped the
available supply. Hero then, is fresh
opening for women's fntellects when
the literary field becomes too crowded,
which has in it's favor that it tends to
place women once more in control of
the comforts and conveniences as well
as of the social elegance of daily life

THE COTTON ACREAGE.
An Average Reduction of sixteen Per Cent.
Proposed.


Proposed.
The reports as to the acreage of cot
ton for the present year show an aver
age reduction of about 10 per cent. This
signifies that the planters realize the
Importance of diminishing the product
in order to increase it's value. That is
the only practical plan of relief. The
world can consume only given amount
of cotton each year, and when the sup
ply exceeds the demand the price is
certain to fall below the cost of
production. Last year the yield
was 100000 bales, whereas the de-
mand stopped at 100000. A reduc-
ton of 16 per cent. this year will prob
ably lessen the supply in sufficient de-
gree to restore lucrative price, though
still smaller acreage is desirable. At
the present price, the raising of cotton
is a losing business. The south is to-
day in the worst condition than it has
been for years, simply because of the
overproduction of its principal staple.
All branches of the trade are dull, and
the people are generally discouraged.
A point has been reached where a big
cotton crop does not necessarily mean
good times, as it once did. The fact is
an unfortunate one, but it is the logical
result of definite causes, and the only
sensible way to deal with it is that of
planting less cotton and more of some
thing else.
There are portions of the south in
which cotton is the only thing that can
be successfully produced; but those dis
tricts are not large when the whole ag-
ricultuIal area is considered 1t is DOS
sible to raise wheat, corn, oats and hay
to considerable extent in all of the
southern states, as the records of what
has been done fully testify. 1t is not
generally known that the cereal crop
of those states last year exceeded their
cotton crop in value. They raised
$40, 330, 900 bushels of corn, 76,17S,-
600 bushels of. oats, and 40, OOO, 900
bushels of wheat Their hay
product brought them 1928, 800, 900, their
tobacco SS5, 75O, 900, and their fruit $40
$4,000. 1t will readily be seen, there
fore, that the soil and climate of the
south are adapted to various important
and profitable products, and that the
people are not obliged to depend upon
cotton alone. The work of diversify1ng
the crops should be prosecuted in sys-
tematic and persevering way. That is
the policy by which the south can
surely be made prosperous. Her
agricultural possibilities have been
only partially developed up to this
time. The prevailing and inherited
preference for cotton has tended to dis
parage the value of her lands for other
purposes. There is no reason, as she
will ascertain by experience, why she
should devote so much attention to one
staple. Her interest lies in the direc-
ton OF raising as many products as
possible, and 1t Is evident that her
farmers are beginning to take this view

Intensive ArricuItnre.

Intensive agriculture is something
more than a phrase; it is the brief def
milton of the system of farming which
is bound to obtain in the near future Ii
all the more closely populated distrRk
of our country. The wise farmers an
getting in line with the movementnOW.
1t does not mean large tracts Of land
belonging to single owner and poorly
cultivated, but the direct opposite. Il
means small farms brought to thehigh,

yielding a vastly larger product anaUs
than our average farms do now Il
means progress in the science Of agt
culture, and wider and better
average of prosperity among thoseeH
gagged in the calling. 1t means les
manual and more mental labor, and
consequently the opportunity for th'
farmer to advance to higher plane q
intelligence and living. The surestwsl
to reach this is to become an earnes
student, now, of every developmen
that is making in the science and prae
tice of agriculture, and to try and kes
abreast with its progress There IS n
