A LIVING VS.. MONEY.
concord Tribune.)

One of the best farmers Of Cabar-
rus declares that the make a
mistake in starting out to make
none instead Of to make q big lIv-
ing. This idea is in line with the
best advice hat is being offered to
rme by well informed men of the
age, and it comes from a successful
farmer who makes a living and then
more, but first of all a living and a
good me-. This Cabarrus farmer, who
is all but swamped in food supplies,
says that a farmer in this section can
not afford to raise cotton at any price
and buy wheat at 40 cents a bushel,
to say nothing of paying $1.25. It
may be pretty generally observed that
the farmer who starts out to make
"a living usually dOeS and soon has
more. Some Of US who are not farm
erS have to make money and then
buy the living, but even the truth
spoken by the CabarruS farmer ap-
plies to all of US in some measure,
for we must agree that we were di-
vinely authorized to max a living by
the sweat of the brow, if not to make
money. But what a delight and what
an Inspiration to look over the farm,
through the orchard, pasture and
barns of a we'll off farmer who's first
and chief object in farming is to
max q living. He owes no man. His
crib is bullying. His ranHr is full,
as are barns. meat house and kitchen.
His orchard is overloaded. There is
plenty everywhere and the surplus crop
in cotton is sold when he gets good
and ready. Wheat and corn at $1.25
have no terror for him. He is healthy,
happy and cOntented, and his daily
mail brings nc duns or other unpleas-
ant reminders. The farmer w h is
farming to make a living is it with a
big 7.

(Topeka (Kan) Cor. Evening Post.)
A striking example Of the changed
conditions in western Kansas has been
furnished by the experience Of Jew
ell county, which recently voted to
issue $4,000 bonds for Improvement
purposes. Instead of offering them
to the state school-fund, it was decid-
ed to sell to home-buyers. The bonds
were offered and the bids at a
amounted to $27,0 900, of which $22.5O0
was from farmers outside the towns
of the county.
n county has been a banner corn
county for many years, and the. infu-
ence of the prosperity is evidenced
by the large amount Of savings funds
ready Tor investment. The farmers
who have made a saving during the
past few years have, for the most
part, invested in more land, or have
ought stock in local banks. OF late
they have aiken al interest in other
securities, bidding actively for the
bond issues Of local municipalities
and counties. They do not desire
bonds of eastern corporations or rail-
roads, but keep close at home, and
are willing to pay good prices for
h~igh-grade securities Of his class.
Bond statesmen have been unable toter-
est farmers in their offerings, because
of the prejudice against corporations
and institutions that seem to them far
away, and in which they have little
voice. Home securities, especially
school bonds, and occasionally city
bonds, are readily sold.

HARVE JORDAN
=. PREDICTION
High. Price This Fall and Winter
Peach Crop Short.

Mr.. Harvie Jordan, president of the
Southern Cotton Association, has is
sued a statement about the cotton
crop which will interest many far
mers. 1t follows:
The present outlook for anything
like a normal production of cotton
for the season of 1909-1910 is worse
than any year since 1903. Reports
which have come to us from all parts
of the cotton belt from reliable sources
and the result Of personal observation
during the past 80 days, indicate a
very serious condition of the crop,
especially in the territory of the
southwestern States. The long, and
as yet u~nbroken, period of drought
in Texas, accompanied by unprece-
denied hot weather covering the lar
gest producing counties in that State,
make it impossible for the crop there
to recover normal conditions. even
under the most favorable weather,
hereafter. The same conditions have
largely prevailed in Mississippi and
Louisiana. In every State except
Texas, there has been a voluntary de-
crease in the cotton acreage by the
farmers this cal.
I'm all the States east of the Mis-
sissippi the cotton fields are generally
grassy and many thousands of acres
have been abandoned. and the fields
planted to corn and peas. Crab grass
has Sapped the vitality OF the cotton
plants and absorbed to a great extent
the commercial fertilizers. Black rot
and boil worm in the eastern States
and boil weevil in the southwest are
contributing to make the situation
even more critical. There is not a
sufficient supp1y of cotton in the
South to-day, to last Southern mills
until October 1. Il Anticipate that the
forthcoming August condition report
by the bureau of cotton statistics, to
be issued on August 2, will reflect the
deterioration of the crop in July, by
several points under the very low
June condition report.
I'm most sections of the belt the
cotton plant is low and grassy and
in other sections too full of sap and
weedy. These conditions forecast a
small yield compared with that of
one rear ago.
THE failure of the peach crop al
duction of the cotton crop, such is
assuming enormous proportions, and
the production Of the cotton crop in
an Unusual shortness, it is
impossible at this time to predict
with any degree of accuracy where the
maximum price of spot cotton will
reach. That we are not entering upon
an era Of very high prices for the
coming season, there is scarcely any
question of doubt, and the slower spot
cotton is marketed at the opening OF
the season, the easier it will be to
maintain high prices"

FEEDING NEW CORN.

In feeding new corn the whole stock
may be used, a cows, COWS or horses
will eat nearly the entire plant, de-
irving much good from it.
The corn stalk when green and In
the roasting ear stage contains much
sweet juice that is fattening.
My practice is to thin the corn at
this time, feeding h stalks cut out
and allowing the remaining stalks to
mature larger arS.
In this way much valuable earlv
feed is obtained, and at the same
time the thinning Of the corn is good
for the remaining crop.

The preparation Of the and for the

is essential if the best results are to

rarely that much injury is done to it

able one, as we AVE known rs bushels

this care, whilst as usually grown it
little more than pays for the cost Of

others. Mr.. Sandy has tested this thor
oughly in his experiments in grass
growing and now has fields that were
sown with grass seeds in which a few
pounds of alfalfa were mixed which
are now practically alfalfa fields with
