Keep an account of every hours
time needed to prepare the ground,
plant the seed, tend the crop and
harvest the grain. To this add rea-
sonable amount for wear and tear of
machinery, and the legal rate Of in
terest upon the money invested IN
the land. When the crop is harvested,
figure the number of bushels at the
prevailing market. If the expense
account exceeds the other, then set
about to increase the productiveness
of the land, SO that it will produce
more the year following.

James E. Tate, peach grower in
Northeast Georgia, who has about
10000 trees, sold his entire. crop ON
the trees for $1,000 after the recent
frost. From reports from Georgia THE
frost has destroyed the major portion
OF the peach crop and the vegetable
crop was hopelessly ruined, and cotton
damaged more or less.

MINIMUM OF THE FARMERS.

The growth of the Farmers Union
 IS one of the wonders of these times.
 from a quiet but earnest talk in 1 "hleh live farmers participated it has grown to be mighty organization,
 numbering 1,400,000 members in 2s
 otates. The South is fairly covered
 oy It, and it remains today an organi. zauon Of farmers, by farmers, for farmers. There are few or no dema. 8ogues or politicians in it. It stands iol everything that will help the farm CT, and the South has no organization that is more efficient today or that promises to be more helpful in the iuture. It aims to induce the farmers who grow cotton to act as one man Ill the marketing of their chief cash crop, and it's success in that direction has been satisfactory and beneficial.
 The organization sitting at Little ROCK has just placed a 15-cent mimi mum upon the new cotton crop. There are plenty of men who will attack this minimum, but the assaflants are not farmers. The farmers think that when all other products are command ing higher prices, cotton should bring b cents. The farmers are entitled to a larger compensation in an expen- sive era, and the law of supply and demand is supporting them in thelr reasonable demands. The minimum named at Little Rock was not hurried ly or carelessly determined. It is the result of cautious and comprehen- sive survey of the entire situation, and if the members of the union will stand Loyalty up to it, surprising good may flow from it. The prosperity of the South is tied up in the proposition and cordial cooperation on the part of the members of the Farmers Un- ion can carry it to a glorious consum- matlon.-Birmingham Age-Herald.

The way to unionize is to unionize. This means that you are to unite with those in the same line of business for the mutual betterment of all in that line. It also means that you ought to have sense enough to keep out of all sorts of entangling alliances with those who may want to use you as a cats paw for raking out choice, juicy chestnuts for their own delectation
 The point of this lies in it's practical application to things that have been, and are even now, being pressed by schemers who want to use the Farm CTS Union to carry out the ends that have no comomn benefit to the farmer.

 @Dout' When it is evident that tna~a
 is coming an oyerproduction of any
 inaiiuIactured article, the shops ar.
 range Tor a slowing up. This is 1ha
 oily satety in the matter of nrofitab,a
 pouucton. The machinery is put to
 making something else, or it stands
 iuie untli trade picks up and the de-
 mana Is enlarged. This is the oniv
 SehslDle thing to do under sucb cir.
 eulnstances. In two ways this keeps
 up the price The first is by not ere
 dtillS surplus that would either have
 to De held at loss or unloaded at a
 sacrifice, and again it keeps the nrce
 Ill condition of fixity, thing which
 cotton planters have striven for for
 many years. This lesson should sink
 oeep Into the minds of those whose
 interests are in the cotton fields. If eoo much cotton to reasonably supply the demand is raised. it must either De held and the inter est. insurance. shrlnkage, etc., must come out of the price 1t finally brings, or else it must go at such sacrifice that somebody VIII buy 1t for sheer cheapness. It makes no difference how much soph- istry interested people may weave around the holding and warehouse proposition, these are self-evident truths. The warehouse is a useful in- stitution, and it should be fully used to avoid dumping the whole crop into the market in a heap, as has been the custom heretofore, so congesting the market, the yards, the transportation facilities, and so depicting the money market that those who buy must do so at sacrifice, thus lowering the price for time. That is the end and aim of the warehouse proposition and anyone with common sense enough to lead blind goose to water ought to know this. Whatever will inevitably affect the price of anything offered and usually sold on the market will affect the price and demand for cot. on. The remedy is dear easy: Don't plant too much cotton. It is the duty If the union to look after this matter. t should be in position to know what is the probable acreage, and it hould deal this information out to it's members, and they should act upon it Il the same way the manufacturers ct about their production. They have lazed the way to profit-making busi- esses, and if the farmers have the ense to follow your leader" they will exercise the same sense that is xercised by the manufacturers. They will diversity, and not diversity by imply changing from one crop to an ,ther, but they will plant a variety of rops, and can thus meet varied mar let. thus catching an even average of III the market This is what uniOnism S built for.

the road from the skinner gymna-
stun. 1t is 96 feet long by 60 feet
wide. two stories high with a roomy
basement, built of red brick in a very
pleasing style. The first floor of the
new building is equipped for instruction

airy laboratories and spacious lecture
room will mean a great development in
this department of work. This floor, will
also provide offices specially designed for
the principal the assistant principal and
the secretary. The second floor is to be
