nized. So whatever your local
disadvantages, do not give up,
but only put forth better effort.
3. HOW SHALL WE CULTIVATE
THE LEAST LABOR.
The high price aud scarcity of
labor makes this too, a vital
question to us all. Do not make
the mistake of undertaking to
cultivate too much in cotton.
But with our improved tools we
can easily handle grain, corn,
and hay. Put in more of them.
In every crop, thorough prepa-
ration is half the battle. Begin
now. Manuring so the crop will
grow rapidly is another help.
Getting all stumps rocks, and
obstructions out of way is still
another. We can only suggest
and start you to thinking. Think
over this matter. Talk it over
with your family and neighbor.
Discuss it in your farmers union
clubs, and most Of all, get down
10 putting it into practical oper-
alton upon your farm.

Who Got the Baby.

Read over this little story and
see if YOU can tell who got The
baby:
Once upon time when all
living animals could talk to-
gether and understand each 9TH
er an ugly crocodile stole a tiny
baby and was about to make a
dinner OF it, but the poor, fran.
tic mother begged so piteously
for her child that the crocodile
said:
"Tell me one truth and you
shall have your baby again"
"You will not give him back
to me-" she replied.
"Then by our agreement ]
keep him." said the crocodile,
for if you have told the truth |
am not going to give him back,
and if it is a lie | have also won :"
But the mother said, "If / told
YOU the truth you are bound by
your promise, and if it is not the
truth it will not be lie until
you have given me my child."-

How to Plan for Our next
Years Crop.
Southern Cultivator.

harvested, one of the most I'M
portant things demanding the
consideration of every farmer is :
how to plan wisely for the next
years crop. What else can |
raise as a money crop to supple
ment my cotton? How many
things shall l plant? How much
land shall l allot 10 each mule!
What area shall | devote TO each
product? How shall prepare my
land? How much fertilizer shall
L use, etc, ETC.!
If these have been important
questions in the past-and they
have-there are several things
that conspire to make them
more vital now:
l. This crop has been gener-
ally unsatisfactory in results,
owing to the unfavorable sea-
sons.
2. We farmers are endeavor-
ing to show the world that we
are wise enough to manage our
own business and that we shall
demand a profitable price for
our products.
3. Many sections of the globe
and Of our own country are far
ahead of us in the amount each
laborer is able to wrest from the
soil, and we want our Southern
farmers to come abreast with the
foremost ranks. We claim to be
awakening to better methods,
hence each year must show
some material progress.
/. SOMETHING To SUPPLEMENT
COTTON AS A MONEY CROP
According to the light before
us at present, the most impor-
tant question for each farmer to
settle is: What can | raise that
will bring me in cash, besides
my cotton? In no section OF our
country do we find the farmers
prosperous who depend upon
one crop. Too many contin gen.
cies beset both the growing and
the selling. We have had years
of experience along this line
with our cotton. While we have
succeeded in wrestling a fair
price for the last three seasons
we all see what struggle it is :
and if crop conditions were to be
against us, and we had nothing
to sell except cotton, just think
If the handicap put upon it. The
ner who has home supplies

has far the advantage. In

5 rule, that wherever

will find one that makes
