Corn at ST a Bushel.

Those farmers who failed last
season to grow enough corn to
supply feed for their stock can
not contemplate the present
course of the corn market with
satisfaction. Corn in car lots is
being sold out of Memphis at II
to 72 cents, with freight added,
this means a cost at the farm of
IS cents or more. The small
farmer who buys from his supply
merchant on credit will likely
pay 81 for his corn. What a
price for western grain when
land that produces a bale of cot
ton to the acre will produce, with
less labor, so to 60 bushels of
corn!
Taxes and death are said to be
sure, but they are no surer than
the supply bill, which the cotton
grower, be he a.large or a small
producer, must pay the merchant
when he does not grow food on
his own farm. And corn at these
prices is a tax heavier than any
laid by county or state for the
support of their governments.
The planter contracts these debts
to produce cotton for which he
has a certain cash market, but an
extremely uncertain price. while
the seasons vary the yield and
the drouth and the frost cut
down his profits.
The Farmers Union and other
organizations can find no lesson
more worthy of being pressed
hard home to their members than
this one of making the farm self
sustaining. If to plant the
necessary corn and feedstuffs
means a reduction in the acreage
of cotton, let the reduction come.
The cotton produced then will
show a much larger percentage
of net profit, while a severe
shrinkage in cotton values such
as sometimes occurs when pro-
duction gets out of line with
consumption would not mean in
ability to meet the years supply
bills, as is sometimes now the
case following an improbable
season.
The big planter, also, may
think it cheaper to buy corn and
put all his land in cotton, but if
he will take every element in
making and marketing a crop
into consideration he will find
that he is wrong.

Sorghum as a Forage.

Corn fodder may somewhat
surpass sorghum in the muscle
making elements, but sorghum
is richer in the fat forming ele-
ments. Fresh sorghum cut from
blooming time to the dough"
stage will contain per ton of
forage about 81 pounds of diges-
tible cellulose, 226 pounds of di-
gestible extract matter, "a pounds
digestible fat, IA pounds diges-
tible protein, and /, 433 pounds of
water. 1t should be considered
that sorghum is a very heavy
yielder, especially on poor land;
and that it's roots go deep into
the ground to get food that corn
roots would get in a smaller pro-
portion. Farmers commonly say
that cotton, wheat or other small
grain, sweet potatoes and like
crops, do we'll following sorghum
in rotation. 1t is not infrequent-
ly claimed that corn will make
more forage per acre on rich land
and that corn is better for max
ing ensilage, yet it is generally
agreed that for ensilage sorghum
ranks with the first two or three
best crops.
Sorghum stands drought better
than corn, and many farmers be-
sides dairymen would do we'll to
raise it for use when pastures get
short from dry weather. 1t will
do we'll for soiling, pasturage,
hay, and ensilage and is good for
lambs and hogs and as summer
and fall feed for dairy COWS. 1t
should be fed sparingly till the
stock becomes accustomed to it.
1t makes the best hay when cut
soon after it begins to bloom.
For soiling, cutting may profit
ably begin as soon as the heads
are formed. 1t is usually cut for
ensilage when the seed is in the
dough-" Early or late varieties
should be used, according to the
time when the forage will be
needed most The general rule is
the earlier varieties are the best
for forage. Seed may be planted
at various times to secure a sue
cession of forage, or there may
be planted at the same time va
rieties requiring different periods
for maturing. When but a single
crop is harvested the yield may
range from five to ten tons per
acre, while if several crops are
cut the yield may exceed fifteen
tons. Whatever surplus there
may be at any time can be cured
for winter feed. Southern Farm

statements back to the United

Last year the poverty stricken
natives were compelled to Contri-

the last fiscal year under the Span

produced. Under Taft's regime
the Eilipinos have been so BURDEN

markets have been DESTROYED.
The ugliest feature of our car

this horde of carpetbaggers Taft
created a constabularv army, while

If William Howard Taft has
earned the right to be president of
the United States, it is solely due
to his administration in the Philip
pines. The widest flight of the
imagination would never suggest
the thought that Taft 5 services to
the American people at home had
earned him that distinction.
We first hear of him as a fed
eral Judge when he spread blanket
OF injunction over the state of Ohio,
restraining railroad employees dur
ing the great a. X. L. strike.
We next hear of him through
vicious attack upon President
Mckinley and his Philippine pol
icy. Taft being a federal judge
and, therefore, immune from eff
feCtive presidential rebuke, Nc
Kinley had recourse to his author
ity as commander n-chief of the
army and navy to offer Taft the
government of the Philippines at a
salary of $40, 900, local currency,
per annum, an increase of 400 per
cent over his salary as federal
judge. Flesh being weak, Taft
was presumably, unable to resist
this tempting offer, however re-
punant to his soul the thought of
imposing his government upon the
unwilling Filipinos.
