During the past four ov five
years they have been cnfting

enough corn for their home use.
next they raised hogs, next mo-
lasseS. At the beginning Of last
year nine out of ten expected, at
planting time, that cotton would
sell for five cents or less. and they
governed themselves accordingly
in making debts, and as the result
many OF them wound up the year
with plenty of corn, meat and
molasses to meet their needs dur

While there are scores Of farm.
ers In York county who have not
bought any flour since they COM
menced to farm, and in fact there
are several who annually sell
from 800 to 800 bushels of wheat,
still the large majority have never
pretended to raise wheat at all,
contending that 1T was cheaper to
buy flour than to raise wheat,
figuring something like this: "On
land that Will produce a half bale
OF cotton to the acre J can raise
10 bushels OF wheat which Will
make about $50 pounds Of flour,
worth about SS, while the half
bale OF cotton Is worth Sl5." In

There are more fat cattle, horses
and mules in this section at the

fact that not less than three times
aS much forage-peavine hay
was harvested and stored away
last fall than ever before and un.
less the signs of the times fail the
acreage sown in peas next sum-
mer will be even larger than last
year.
1t is very difficult at this time
to make reliable estimate as to
what the cotton acreage will be
this year, but it Is reasonably safe
to say that it will be from 80 to
40 per cent. less than last, owing
to the fact that much of the land
that under conditions ezistns,
three or four years ago would
have been planted in cotton have
already been sown in wheat and
therefore will not be available.
There is little probability, how
ever. that the yield of cotton will
be from 30 to 10 per cent. less
than last year. as the land will be
better prepared, as rule. and
more fertilizers used. X

However, all these little secrets,
as interesting as they are bound

that others have not made Just as

consequently, it is matter of
interest to all patriotic citizens of
America to know how he was re-

interesting yet because McQuary
is highly educated, refined and
practical writer, knowing how to
tell his story IN sensible
