Bad Weather Assists
Southern Cotton As
ISOLATION.

President Charlie c. Moore, Of the
North Carolina Division of the South
ern Cotton Association, was yesterday
in receipt of advices from neden and
other counties stating that consider
able cotton had been killed by the
frosts. which have been recurring dur
ing the past three days. The reports
said that the farmers did not have
cotton seed TO plant in the place of the
plants which had been destroyed by
the frQS4S. and that the acreage had
been very noticeably reduced by the
frGStS
Farmers from Wake county in the
city yesterday stated that the cold
weather and frosts had damaged. but
TO no very large extent. the crop. 1t
is feared that much of the cotton will
be pOssum cared on account of the in
jury it has received from the frosts.
Acreage Reports.
The State headquarters of the cot
ton association are sending out blank
reports to be filled in by the various
county secretaries, showing the cotton
acreage, and these reports are to be
sent to the central office in Atlanta.
May 24th. The associations acreage
report will antedate the government
report. The report will show the acre
age planted in cotton condition and
labor. this year. compared with that
in 1905, and other general conditions.

for me to say anything. after nat
Mr. Harvie Jordan has urged in his
speeches Al the cotton Association -
this state and the coqueu. ap-
peals OF Mr.. G. {. Moore
to farmers 10 raise more Il the
necessities Of life and To diversity

ed to raise 30 much cotton and tobacco

and ought 10 raise.
Saving Our Waste Lands.
1t is easy 70 see that, if q farmer
will raise MS hores. cows. sheep. hoes
and chickens and have little Of each
to sell, he Will not need TO raise 50
much cotton. If this method is fol-
lowed 50 Is 10 get a living price for
it,
Then too there viii be an opening
in the South for farmers. To take up
our waste lands. Until this system IS
carried out, | do not see why Wc
come here and help decrease the price
Of cotton BY raising more Of it. The
South is peculiarly adapted to diVerei-
fled farming. We can raise a greater
variety of crops than any other Sec
ton of the United States When We
think Of how we buy and where it
, comes from. it is a wonder how the
cotton and tobacco growers have stood
the drain
Farming Without Cotton or Tobacco
| have been asked this question
more than any other: "What is your
money crOD2 How DO you get along
Without q crop Of cotton or tobacco

This is the question / am now going
to answer for the Progressive Farmer
readers, and | hope to be able to show
the cotton and tobacco farmers how
he can reduce his output and at the
same time get as much for six bales
of cotton as he would for ten.
Raising His Own Horses
IN the first place ! raise my oWp
horses and instead of having II bnF
/ sell one now and then; no money
goes out but some comes in, and the
farm is made productive. Can the cot
ton and tobacco farmers do this?
say yes. Their work is light, com
pared With that on our red soil. and
instead of sending $500 to kentucky
for a, big pair of macs @ec two iarge
mares and raise two good colts. They
can easily do this and work through
the crop, if given proper food and
care. DO this every Year and .ou
