The County Union unanimously re-
solved to nike an effort to thoroughly
canvass of Sumter County in the near
future for a campaign of education
and organization. The Clarendon cOun-
ty brethren will push the same work
in their county. I to this end invite
all farmers and truckers who have the
best interests of our cause at heart
to talk the matter over, get together
in their respective neighborhoods. and
write me where to send our lecturer
and organizer. that he may reach the
greatest number on each trip.

Make q Map of the Farm.

Begin by making a map of the en-
tire farm, showing each field and in
dicatng it's characteristics. Then a
crop rotation should be planned. IT
matters not so much what this rOta-
ton is so long as it will add humus
to the soil and increase fertility. Nor
should We attempt to adopt the same
rotation for all the fields. We should
consider market demands and suit
ability of the fields for growing the
crops to be rotated upon them, always
keeping in mind that with nine tenths
Of Southern lands humus is the great
est need. Do not make the mistake
of putting off this matter, nor the still
more serious one of concluding that
it is not necessary to lay out a regu-
lar and intelligent crop rotation for
all the farm. In general, you should
know what crop will be grown on a
certain field ten years from now as
well as what crop will be grown on it
next season.

Now Is the Time to Regulate Cotton
Prices.

suppose that with the coming sea-
son we will hear the same old advice
on all hands. Decrease the cotton
acreage" and that the same old res
suit will be had. Every other follow
who Is simply planting cotton for a
living will conclude that there is go
ing to be a decrease in the acreage
and hence better price, and he will
so to work to scratch over more land
with a one-horse plow, and go in
debt for more fertilizer. and the gen.
eral aggregate will be another big
crop, and then all sorts of schemes
and meetings to control the price.
In no other part Of the country is
there such fit of Mysteries over the
leading crop as there is in the South
after the making of every crop Of
cotton.
The wheat farmers do not like to
see the price Of wheat go down of
course, but 1t does not run them
crazy, for they have corn, and oats,
and cattle and hogs. and horses, and
do not fear starvation if the price of
wheat Is low.

We need to plan for more than one
year at time if we would achieve

not be discouraged if ii should hrn
