The Cotton Outlook.

JUST at present Iillo 10 Cilo AOA
question in all the South. 1t affects
not the producer alone but every one
who comes in contact cotton growers
or cotton grown money.
We have made the question the
object of careful observation, study
and inquiry. The opinions formed
have been reached as the result OF
earnest effort at securing the facts.
All reports agree that the best cot
ton crop of this year has been made
in the Southern half Of the State OF
Georgia. A month ago this was a
record-breaking crop-the best
known in a generation. Then came
the dry weather and phenomenal
heat of the last half of August. The
fruit shed, the weed shriveled and
died. Cotton which had been ten
davs late came earlier than usual
from premature opening. Local gins
had more than they could do before
September 1st-a very unusual con-
dition.
We have lust made trip through
this section. The scores of wagons
waiting at every ginnery, the snow
white fields and the red appearance
of the foliage all looked like early
October instead of the first of Sep
tember.
The crop of South Georgia has fal-
len off 20 per cent in three weeks
The local bumper crop has become
not a short crop, but an average
crop.
During the same interval there has
been no material improvement else
where. Conditions in Texas are bet
ter, but they affect the next croI
more than the present one. The un
usual heat has killed the boil weevll
, but has also checked growth, which
can only be counteracted by rains
: not yet in sight.
, The lint is now bringing abou
twelve and one-half cents at inlant
, markets. This pretty good money
! Will prices go up or down as tn
3 season advances.
The quality Of the lint is unusuall'
good-ideal. 1t is worth more thai
the cotton of most seasons.
The cotton crop is short; but ou
4 reports, and observation, from a
I sections except the Piedmont region
$ show good crops Of corn. oats, pea
and potatoes plenty of food for ma
, and stock. This means ability t
~ hold cotton-less distress cotton
than usual.
Crop conditions justifies
farmer cunditions facilitates es-bette
T prices.
S How much better? Business cor
: ditions-the buying power of cor
e sumers- are good. The demand fc
e cotton will be strong.
h We can see but one element
r weakness in the outlook. Last year
crop was large, considerably large
than the trade expected. There
both speculative and real surpl'
II to be disposed of. This surplu
d however, is within the limits
Ie present demand.
h Future demand must be supple
g. by very short crop. Ultimate
ii this means that consumers must p;
" comparatively high prices for cotto
- The producer has only to wait
- hold to get this price.
We consider thirteen cents mo
crate price and fifteen cents only
io fair profit on the cost of productle
S. We expect to see the price range
OF tween these two figures.

Publishers Announcement.

1tis, eett1ed point in newspaper ethics that
editors and publishers are not responsible 1or the
views of correspondents, and the publicat OF a
communication does not mean that tne edl'oI u vi
,,uhI;ehrr endorses the communication. The
CoMMoNwEALTH adheres to these general prlcl-
piles.

Almira nodded assent. Il was going

she said at last.

I'm much obliged, Mr. Almira
stammered as she realized into what
intimate conversation she had wan
dered with the stranger.
''Babcock, ma'am-George Babcock.
I'll be here in the morning. / won't
disappOint you."
There was smile of pleasant retro
spection in Almira's lips as she watch
ed the flower seed man drive away
through the May sunshine.
The next morning she was up at
break of day busily denuding her gar.
den of It's blooms. When the sun sent
it's first rays across the green fields she
had been to the cemetery on the hill
and laid her offerings Of pink and
white and lilac blooms on the graves
of her kinsfolk.
She found herself wishing that moth
ing would prevent the flower seed
mans coming. He was very interest
ing! Here Almira blushed and hur-
ried into the house, where she blushed
again as she slipped on a blue muslin
dress and pinned the collar with lit
tie gold brooch. 1t was many years
since Almira had worn blue muslin
so many years that she was ashamed
to meet her own eyes in the mirror
and went downstairs and into the gar
Gen hoping the flower seed man would
not be late.
Presently he came and at the quick
glance of respectful admiration Almira
felt that the blue muslin was quite
justified. "I'ye brought the plants he

I'm HE kind of buildings needed on
the farm, their arrangement
and location and the kind Of
material to make them Of are
problems that often perplex the farm
er who is just starting out to improve
his place. No attempt will be made
here to give any specific plans, since
the buildings must be constructed to
meet the varying requirements of diff
ferent farms and the still more vary
ing ideas of the owners. A few sug-
gestions, however, may help to solve
some Of the most troublesome building
problems.
Aside from the house, which will Sc
considered in the next article, the
most important farm Du1fd1ng Is the
barn. This is usually built as shell
ter for the cows, horses and young
calves and to provide storage place
for hay. The barn should not be To-
Gated near enough to the house so that
the odor will be Objectionable nor too
far away, as this makes too many ex-
ira steps. About 800 feet is good

steers are fed another crib should he
quilt with one end next to string of
iced hunks, so that the feeder can walk
right out into them with the corn when
feeding. A double crib with bin for
oats on one side should be placed near
the barn. In the winter the driveway
may be used for grinding feed.
A good weather proof machine shed
should be built on very farm. It may
be located almost any place where If
Will be out of the way. There should
be row of wide doors all along one
side SO that it will be possible to take
an implement out or in without NOV
ing everything else in the shed.
All wooden buildings should be kent
well painted. Painted wood will last
three times as long as that not so
treated, to say nothing of the gain IN
looks. :
A little attention to some of these
points in locating and arranging The
buildings and yards viii cut the work
Of doing chores In half.
