Farmers, Q Word with You.

What are we going to do for
our money crop now cotton is so
low? Are We going to 60 on tho
same old ruts after they have worn
80 deep? Let US call halt, ask
for wisdom, look around and abont
US and see if there are not other
things that we can raise that will
pay us better. We cannot change
our conditions by grumbling and
saying We can't raise cotton vt the
present price, and then continue
to plant it. To my mind there are
great possibilities ahead of us if
We will but only grasp them. We
have as fine a vegetable section of
country as can be found anywhere
and why not begin to experiment
on this line. If We do not COM
mence others will come in and
take hold of the business and
crowd US out from the fact that
We let our opportunities pass. You
ask what can be raise in the vege-
table line that will do US in the
place of cotton. There are many
things, but I do not for the pre-
sent argue the propriety of doing
away with cotton entirely, but
have it a. an after thought. Oni-
ons are q crop that will pay and
can be raised mainly in the fall
and winter when you can't do
much else, and almost without ex-
pense. Now is the time to pre-
pare the ground to SOW the seed.
Irish potatoes will pay the far
mers in this section. and there are
other crops that can be raised on
tho same lands after the onions
and potatoes have been gathered
My best cotton this year is whore
l raised q crop of potatoes last
spring.
Let US consider this question
and organize, for an organization
is necessary to accomplish the de-
sired results. A. Mitchell, il
