4 VORD TO THE FARMERS.

Il WORD TO THE IA RWERS.
1t is generally admitted that all
classes of people throughout the coun-
trv are in better condition than they
have been for some years, and the pros
meets for the future are also bright I
than usual.
This is true of Scotland Neck and
community as we'll as of other commu-
mites. 1t Is peculiarly true OF our
farmers, and 1t is to these THE Com
MoNwEAITH wishes to offer some sug-
sgestions.
In-the first place, the situation de-
mands careful consideration for the
farmers, having pulled themselves out
debt by dint OF energy and economy,
and now occupying position some
what of independence, owe it to them
selves and their own interests to main
tain this position of Independence.
Any unwise move on their part might
drop them back where they have been
for several years and it is the impulse
of every good citizen to hope and make
effort that such shall not be the case.
For, say what you may, the farmers are
y the handspring OF all our prosperity
and good times.
Now, the question with the thought
full farmer is, What shall plant And
lust here the farmers will be in great
danger of making a mistake this year.
The price OF cotton has been so much
better this season than usual and farm
ers have "core out" as they say, so
much better than they anticipated,
they are in danger OF counting too
much on one crop and thus oyerdo the
matter in planting largely in cotton 20
the exclusion of other crops.
The COMMONWEALTH has all the
while counseled the farmers to diversity
their crops, aud we believe that they
will show great wisdom in doing SO
this year. From the good prices OF
cotton all over the country the tenden-
cy will be greatly to increase the acre
age In cotton. This done by the farm
ers throughout the South generally.
and the price of cotton Will almost
surely drop back much below what it
has been this winter.
:. By reason of the low prices OF tobac-
CO there may be tendency amongst
the farmers to decrease the acreage,
and this in turn will bring better prices
= for tobacco by reason OF the reduction
in its tobacco acreage.
Also the good prices for peanuts may
have a tendency to cause hefarmers
to increase that acreage, which again
would have tendency to bring down
the price. -----...
What we regard as the wise course
for the farmers is, to pursue the even
tenor of their way, varying very little
from what they did last year,
giving tho benefit of the doubt to clear
Indications as they now appear. And
these indications are that cotton will
probably fall little in price for next
season and tobacco will probably rise a
little, and peanuts will hold their own
perhaps.
To sum up, we would counsel the
farmers not to lose the use of their to-
bacco barns already built; and if they
have not diversified their crops hereto
fore, make little experiment in to-
bacco in view of the chances for little
better prices, as we haye tried to point
out.
As We have already said, the situa-
tion with the farmers is somewhat a
critical one, and they would do we'll to
weigh it carefully and not depend too
much on any one crop.

Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady

Such Of us who are not very ancient and

somewhat puzzled to assign a first
class reason for having done SO.
The Democratic party is today W
less attractive to the young voter. He
is not afraid of militarism, or of I'm

Republican party is represented az

Of anything. He has a great admira-
ton for the American flag, and wouli
like to see II waving In the four cor
