WHEN I WAS \ Bon.
~ ilSnn Times

1T is sometimes coed to remember the
days that are past--to review ana collect
from former experiences the crumbs that
are left that nothing, be lost
shall 1T present speak Of farming.
My father was 4 farmer. and | began to
plow at the age Of seven years.
His primal object OF farliin" was to
raise his own supplies. | never knew aim
to buy grain OF corn, nor a pollua 81
meat. chicken, horse, COW mrle, nor
arvthine of that sort. He usually had
such things to sell It was common for
men to drive their wagons to his G. r aud
load them With corn. and buy bacon from
him. Now and then he would sell a
horse Always he bad something - SCI.
and the bi;yers Would come to hial tc pur-
chase.
lie did not plant much cottoa 10 t.
bacco
He did not plant much cotton, DO to-
ard bought Il tract cf land almost every
year.
If>1 those days a farmer bought cola
ii shCok his credit for he was consi iere |
poor farmer.
My observation is that the farmers new
that raise their own bread AMI meat At
home are successful, but 'ho-A that buy
them corn, meat, flour and all such thing 5
a~ they must have are failures.
Now WHO are the wiser. the farmers Of
the oldcn time that made their provisions
at homo, and kept cut Of dCot, CT those
cf these days that grow so much cotton
and tobacco and buy what they eat, and
are so cnslavtd With debt:
Return to the good old way. Plant
ccin enough To fatten Your hogs. Eaasc
yonr supplies at horne. Have your smoke
house at home and your corn crib al the
same place well filed. Raise chickens.
Have your own milk and butter and such
things at home.
Then what cotton or tobacco you mai
will be your own.

FINE COTTON MILL PRODUCTS.
Active Preparations For the Trucking
Season.

Kinston, y. c., Jan. 13.-(Spec;al.)-
The output of the cotton mill here has
been declared by Il leading Northern tex
tile journal to be among the finest grades
of goods on the market
The last, census of hinston showed
about 1900 people here. 1t is believed
that the census Of 1900 will show a pop
ulation Of at least 1000
The talk among the farmers here is
that within an area of ten or twelve
miles of kinston special attention will be
paid this season to growing a finer grade
Of tobacco than has been previously
grown here.
Preparations for the trucking season are
gong forward rapidly, this IS especially
true along the line Of the \. and \. road
toward Goldshoro and toward \ewbern.

shall ] use for that crop Not what shaJ!
/ use to best develop the capacity of my
land FOR the economical production Of
the crop, but what can | afford to gam-
bic ca for that crop, without any regard
to the land or its future condition. As
rule and we have time and again said
it, the cotton growing III the South has
long been a mere matter Of betting on q
fertilizer and a season. gambling On the
chances that SO much Of certain fertili-
zcr Will enable me to make enough cot
ton extra to pay for it, and leave a little
margin for me. And if the season is dry
and if the fertilizer has no effect by reas-
on Of the dry weather. or the price falls
because some one else on richer lands has
raised Il big crop. the fertilizer gambler
is left with a bill TO pay and no margin
for himself SO lorE as we depend on
purchased fertilizers for every crop we
grew. lust so long Will the land remain
poor and the farmer be in debt to the
fertilizer man.
You say that fertilizers will be very
high That is because the fertilizer men
have combined into Il trust to dictate TO
the farmer Now how would it 90 for the
farmers 10 organize trust and say we
Will not buy any fertilizers that year:
There would be far less cotton grown,
but the price would go ~ and there
would be 10 FERTILIZER bills to como out
Of the crop, and 10y the end of the year
the fertilizer men would be on their
knees to the farmers. But while meEl III
every line Of human effort unite and
pool their interests the farmers remain is-
solated and cut each others throats.
/ merely meant to answer your letter
when | began hut my pen has run away

read these letters VIII resolve this year
to turn new leaf in farming and do
some real farming. There is very little

In China about $500 years ago. 1t is
