Price Says Heavy Demand.

Theodore Price, the cotton specu-
lator who has been on the bear side
of the cotton market for two or three
seasons past. and the man who issued
the confidential circular last year TO
bankers and merchants advising them
to force the farmers TO sell, has turn
ed to the other side of the market
and has just issued the following cir
cular:
America Will sell its agricultural
products of this year for something
over eight billions of dollars. The
world cannot pay US for this in gold,
abundant as ii is, because there is
must be paid in goods which other
people will produce. The result will
be an impetus TO industry and COM
merce that will set all wheels in mo-
ton and give employment to all able
to work
| shall not be surprised if about
September. 1909, Messrs. Hood, Fer
ME & co. in the light of spinners
takings of $4,000, 900 bales of Ameri
can cotton for the season then ending,
shall cable me that a crop of 10000
600 bales will be TOO small for 1910
When cotton was half a cent lower,
l advised spinners to protect their
prospective requirements until De
cember | now advise them to buy
all the cotton they can, around pres
ent prices | am certain the crop has
been over-estimated and am equally
certain that il will seem SO small be
fore frost that the cotton they now
buy or the goods they manufacture
from il can be sold at handsome
profit.
TO the Southern planter | say there
is no possible reason why you should
accept less than 10 cents per pound
for this years. crop, however large,
and you may be justified in demand
ing very much more, If the crop prom
ises to be less than 100000 bales.
AZ Year ago. in September, 1907,
when cotton was selling at 13 cents
| predicted that under the panicky
conditions which l foresaw, it would
sell at s cents, and May contracts in
New York actually sold at S03.

on Wholesale Botching.

1t used to be that a man could take
a small team and small tools. plant
many things on thirty acres of land,
raise a good support. Send their child

how is it now? From Is to so acres
with a double or triple team, all of the
children and hired hand thirteen
months in the cotton field; buy every
thing to live on out of the store on a
credit (board in town and live al
home If that is not botehing, what
is it? One land owner in Red River
county said ii used to be that Il could
not get one man To take more than p
or so acres; then | got a bale 10 the
acre, but now he must have - or 80
acres, and the result is il takes three
acres to make a bale.
Now. on another kind of botching

Size Up the Successful Farmer.

The Danbury Reporter sizes up the
successful farmer of the future in the
following manner: THE day is COM
ing when the small farm, the labor
saving machinery, the knowledge of
seasons and soils and rotations. and
the careful but intense cultivation,
shall constitute the equipment which
will yield handsome returns. The
farmer of the future who shall win
success will be an educated man. lie
will know his fields like the potter
knows his clay, and his mind will be
as skilled as the hand of the artisan
who fashions the vase. He will be
able to plan a campaign upon his
plats with the same precision that
Lee planned at Cold Harbor, and
execute it with the success of Jack
son at Antietam. AS the lawyer
knows his code he will be acquainted
with soils and strata, and as the prac-
titioner is drilled in the art OF civil
procedure, he will know the rotations.
He must be familiar with precedent,
and his evenings shall be spent by
the fireside with text books and farm
journal, and the experiences of his
fellow soilsmen in other countries
shall be in his mind always. He must
be a student, but his knowledge shall
not all come from books. Personal
experience. experimentation, test
plats, visits to other model farms, the
constant ambition for new ideas
these shall make his battery invine-
ible'

THREE CURES OF ECZEMA.
Woman Tells of Her Brothers Terrible
Sufferine-Two Babies Also Cured
-Cuticura Invaluable.

my brother had eczema three diff
ferent summers. Each summer it came
out between his shoulders and down
his back, and he said his suffering
was terrible. When 1t came on the
third summer, he bought box of
Cuticura Ointment and gave it a faith
full trial. Soon he began to feel better
and he cured himself entirely of &C.
zema with Cutieura. A lady in In
diana heard of how my daughter
Mrs. Miller, had cured her little son
of terrible eczema by the Cuticura
Remedies. This ladys little one had
the eczema SO badly that they thought
they would lose it. She used Cuti-
cura Remedies and they cured her
child entirely. and the disease never

MOTHER AND CHILD
Both Fully Nourished on Grape-Nuts,

The value Of this famous food is
shown in many ways. in addition to
what might be expected from its chem
zeal analysis.
Grape-Nuts food is made of whole
wheat and barley. is thoroughly baked
for many hours and contains all the
wholesome Ingredients in these ce-
reals.
1t contains also the phosphate of
potash grown in the grains, which Ma
ture uses to build up brain and nerve
cells.
Young children require proportion
ately more of this element because the
brain and nervous system OF the child
grows SO rapidly
A Va. mother found the value of
GrapeN Nuts In not only building up her
own strength but in nourishing her
baby at the same time She writes:
After my baby came l did not re-
cover health and strength, and the
doctor said l could not nurse the baby
as | did not have nourishment for her,
besides was too weak.
HE said | might try change of
diet and see what that would do. and
recommended Grape-Nuts food l
bought a pkg and used ii regularly
A marked change came over both
