The statement that the chicken and
egg crop Of Mississippi exceeds that
OF its cotton crop in actual value in
cash, seems 3 little startling at q glance
and yet no one seems able to disputeit
The fact lie the chicken and egg crop
is constantly being produced twelve
months in every year, is alarge part
Of the living Of all the people, and
those who have to purchase their por-
ton understand something Of their
value in dollars and cents, mostly 10
dollars. Eggs are never below 10 cents
per dozen, and q wee mite Of a chick
BY the time the feathers begin TO put
out ct the tip Of its wings, is gobbled
up BY hungry folks at IS cents aad up.
Consider that nearly every one raises
some chickens while many make q
business Of It and ship them b the
hundreds, the statement Of the aggre-
gate value Of the product does not
seem an exageration. II We could eat
our cotton as We DO our chickens and
eggs, probably It would not be o0nsid-
cred such 3 sure money crop, and yet
it is what We eat and wear after Ell
that goes to make up our real money
output, no matter IL we consume IL
for that Is exactly what We ere doing
with our cotton money, eating Il, and
too often We spend 1t for much thai
we might 80 easily produce IS We Dc
our chickens.

There is one A~mericanism stronger
than all others, and that is the inde-
pendence Of the young mar or woman,
after reaching their majority and at
tanning the education which has been
allotted to them. There are now and
then exceptions, Of course, but the
men who are heard from and who
leave marks upon the parchments pre-
pared to preserve the history Of the
world as it glides along in its even
way, are those who realize early in life
that they cannot hang onto the skirts
Of father and mother aud follow the
tactics Of their childhood days. Self
reliance is peculiarly American. In
fact some of the best men the nation
has ever produced were at such an
early age as to scarcely leave a mem
DRY oft, thrown wholly upon their
own resources, without the comforts
of home or the kindly advice of par
ents or near friends. Self educated.
self-made, dependent alone,
these young men often step forth to be
recognized as the superiors in every
way Of the petted, pampered youth
whose PARENTAL cares have been
sitting rather than expanding. Inde-
pendence is instinctively American,
and the young mar who has it not lie
not a true type Of his country. OF
course, the young mau endowed With
the same spirit, the same determine
ton, the same high principles, who is
SO fortunate as to have the advantage
of the highest education he can attain,
in many ways has the advantage of
his less fortunate countrymen, but IN
the records that are left for history's
purpose, the percentage Of brilliant
successes are not nearly 80 large in
favor OF these higher educated in
early life as it would eem it should
be, probably because of the fact that
the things we secure by the hardest
knocks are oftimes the most highly
appreciated. And how the world needs
such grand characters as this indie
pendent, ~self-reliant American sup
plies. How important then that every
American youth should determine to
make all that is possible of his oppor-
tunities, and bis surprise be that he lie
more and better and stronger and
greater than he ever had hopes of be-
ing, when the battle Of life began with
him. Before half a dozen generations
shall have come and gone America
win be the absolute director Of the
worlds destinies, unless the expert
ment of establishing a Republic shall
have failed entirely. Down deep in
every American breast should be kept
afiame the inspiration to be a part or
parcel Of that greatness to which his
nation is to attain. It can only come
based on the highest ideal character
and thorough craftsmanship never for
getting the most modest and unpre-
tentious of his countrymen. If you
are an American be a true one, q big
one, that is as big Is you can, and IN
the end your part will have counted
as much for 8 grsndly developed
civilization and continent as viii that

by the census report the average crop
IN Texas has been but little over one
third of bale per acre, costing, on
Our statement, sic per pound, which
is above the average price. This class
OF farmers, and all making a less crop.
have produced cotton by reducing the
wage to which they were entitled, or
the comforts of life which justly be.
long to them and their families, or the
education which our civilization de-
mands of every citizen, and in gen.
eral, they have reduced all of them.
The practical lesson to be needed
is, let every farmer make the best
crop Of cotton possible, because this
is the only line of profit If you av-
erage less than one-half bale per acre,
better go out of the cotton business.
This applies to every farmer who IS
making cotton On his own account and
wants to prosper. To men who are
renting their lands for share it is
of the highest Importance to secure a
good crop, and the tenant must make
better average than he has in the
past ten years, or bis future is not
very brilliant. There are certain fixed
charges in the production of all crops
that are practically the same whether
the crop is large or small, such as.
rent of land, breaking, seed, plowing
or cultivating, and in general all items
incident to the production Of crop,
except harvesting.
To these must be added family ex-
penses where a man works his own
crop. From money standpoint the
most essential problem in farming is
how to make a large crop economic
ally, and the larger the crop the great
er the economy, as rule.
There is more profit in reducing
the acreage two-thirds and producing
a bale to the acre, than in planting
the whole land and harvesting one
third of a bale. The difference be-
tween planting 900 acres to cotton and
getting one-third of a bale per acre,
or planting 100 acres and getting a
bale per acre is S215O in cost in favor
of the less acreage and larger crop.
S. A. Knapp.
