not. And if farmers in other Southern States
persist in planting creation in cotton again, it will
be more profitable for us to raise corn to sell
them. Let the farmers in all the regions round
about attend the appointments of President E. D..
Smith announced elsewhere in this ISSUE, and
show that North Carolina will stand firm, what
ever Texas NAV do. We cannot do better than to
repeat what we said six weeks ago:
"There are going to be plenty of fools to do as
Jones expected to do, and you cannot afford to
swell the number. If other farmers reduce acre
age, you ought to stand with them; if other farm
ers do not reduce the acreage, so much the more
reason why you should save yourself. For if
they do not, the bottom is surely going to drop
out.
whatever others may do or may not decide up
on, for you there is but one road-but one way
out"

ding sure enough, whatever you may think of
IL BiIPs" views. The joke on the lawyers
,I.o very bright, and there is a whole volume of
.L;I,sopbv compressed in the little selection ON
Real Self Control"
D,n't fail to read every word of Getting the
Cod Ont of Life" 1t teaches a much needed
lesson. Too many of our farmers are content to
.,nrd all their time trying to make money, when
+bcr would make more and live deeper by unbend-
;,c OCCASIONALLY and taking a vacation.
Inst here. too, Mr.. D.. Lanes suggestion on
,,r II comes to mind, and we are going to repeat
his words in the hope that they will lead some
man TO open his eyes to the glory of the world.
S.vs Mr.. Lane: Every farmer should take one
bopr at least every day to enjoy the beauties of
srr;nr rs it advances; to get in closer touch will
tho works of nature around him so that his morn
iprs and evenings would bring thankfulness to
the heart and praise to the lips of him who helps
10 feed the world"
Another paragraph in this issue to which we
would ask especial attention is the second in Mr..
u L. Cores interesting letter on page II. 1t
brings out the point mentioned by Mr.. B. f.
Keith in an article in our paper sometime ago as
IN the effect of the stock law in promoting re-
forestation of ~long-leaf pines; and it is undoubt-
edlv true. as Mr.. Gore says, "that the business of
looking after the tree growth on our lying out
or wood lands will pay the owners of the lands
better than anything we are now doing with that
land"

At that time, those who favored his plan said
it was a beautiful dream. Those who did not
favor it called it a nightmare. But under the
most bitter opposition from the tobacco trust in
the form of many warehousemen who ridiculed
him and his plans, Mr.. Adams has won out, and
the organization of which he is the head is now on
the fair road to success.
Mr.. Adams is a persistent worker for the or
ganization, and his earnestness and undoubted
sincerity coupled with a plain, common-sense
manner of presenting his arguments never fails
to secure the support of his hearers. He is a
man of large farming and lumber interests, and
while he is one of the busiest men in his State.
he finds time to respond to a large number of calls
from different sections of Virginia and North
Carolina to address the farmers and organize
clubs-a work which he is doing at a heavy per
sonal sacrifice. u. LANE.

The swallows circle, the robin calls;
The lark's song rises, faints and falls;
The peach-boughs blush with rosiest bloom;
Like ghosts, in the twilight, the pear-trees loom
The naples glow, and the dafodils
Wear the same hue that the west sky fills;
The moons young crescent, thin and bright,
Shines in the blue of the early night;
And DER all, through all, April bears
A hope that smiles at the winters fears.

"AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE

The reports from the Governors of Southern
States as printed on another page, although a
material reduction of cotton acreage is indicated
in the majority of cases, are not, on the whole,
encouraging. the action of Texas being especially
Disappointing.
On the other hand, however, we see it stated
that Theodore H. Price, the well known New
York cotton bear, has sent out a circular dated
March 25th, in which he says that his correspond
ents' reports indicate the following reductions
in acreage for the several States: North Caro-
lima. 25l2 per cent; South Carolina, 1912; Geor-
gia. 2112; Florida, Z; Alabama, 21; Mississippi,
Is; Louisiana, IA; Texas, 10; Arkansas, 20; Ten
nessec, It; Indian Territory, II; Oklahoma, %.
One would think that Price would not give out
figures likely to overestimate the reduction, but
the dispatch from the Governor of Texas bears a
later date than Prices figures, and it also seems
that Governor Lanham would have reported
Texas as living up TO the agreement, if he
could truthfully have done so. Besides, there
have been some who have tried to take ad-
vantage of the reduction made by others to in
crease their own a~creage-like thriftless Jones
of the county of Jones:
More corn! more corn! must plant less ground,
And mustn't eat what's boughten!
Next year they'll do it: reasonin's sound:
(And. cotton will fetch bout a dollar a pound),
Iharfore, I'll plant all cotton!"
The government report on the amount of cot
ton ginned to March 18th, as issued last week, is
not calculated to help matters. Instead of a
l2.OO0,OOO bale estimate, such as sent the market
INTO a panic last December, it is found that
l@,5OO.OOO bales have been actually ginned, and the
2ooOOO more yet to come, will bring the total
up to l3,145,S57, as compared with 10,399,55S bales
Tor 1903. This inevitably means a surplus of from
one and a half to three million bales to carry over
until next season, and with another bumper crop
10 add still further to this surplus, prices would
go lower than now.
Perhaps the Texas farmers can stand this, but
North Carolina and South Carolina farmers can

president S. c. Adams, of the Interstate Tobac-
CO Growers Protective Association.

When Mr.. S. G. Adams called the first confer
ence of farmers at Chase City, Va, nearly eigh-
teen months ago, to discuss means of securing liv-
ing prices for tobacco and form an organization
for this purpose, it is hardly likely that he had an
idea of the enormous proportions to which the
Interstate Tobacco Growers Protective Associa-
ton of Virginia and North Carolina would grow
and the immediate interest with which the farm
ers would take hold of his plan.
