40 years had looked on cotton
rs a staple over which it had
'he control to make the prices
to regulate the output, and yet
it was in the power of the South
to do so.

CHOW that the south is pros

asserted itself. The law of sup

Shed Your Tobacco Properly.

The Edgerton Reporter urges growers
to exercise great care in shedding their
crops. The following excerpt is taken
from the last issue of that paper.
Now that the harvest is on and so
much of the tobacco is of such large,
heavy growth, growers should exer-
else unusual care not 10 crowd their
curing sheds The weather Is yet warm
and there is great danger to burn and
pole rot ii proper attention is not given
to shedding the crop Even If the spac
ing has to be closed up later after the
lea is partially cured, it is better to
give the hanging lsth plenty Of air at
first. The early harvested will cure
rapidly at this season of the year and
will stand crowdiDg later If it bee ,mes
necessary But by all means do not
make the mistake of doing go when first
hung. At the the going prices no grow
er can afford to take any chances on the
crop or by any neglect on his part
suffer loss from damage Now comes q
time when some headwork is necessary
to realize the full fruits of his summers
toll. Nature has done her part nobly.
Will the grower see that he is equal to
the emergency nowf
