In whatever career the young
man of the South may select, he
will find opportunities at home
among his own people. He will
not find it necessary to go either
to the North or to the West. AS
time goes on he will find these op-
portunities in increasing abund-
ance, for the economic strength of
the South, already great, is con.
stantly increasing. The wealth of
our section in natural resources is
being supplemented by increased
financial strength, and Southern
communities are becoming better
able to finance their own enter
prises and less dependent on out
side capital. The south needs ev-
cry one of her young men, and
those who are faithful to her she
will bountlfully reward. .-Presi-
dent w. w. Finly, at University

horse farmer can better afford to
buy the extra mule than he can to
attempt to farm with one, provid-
ed he will determine to plant no
more land than be can thoroughly
prepare and cultivate and will di-
versify and rotate his crops, thus
producing plenty of feed for his
stock and annually increasing the
productiveness of his land. Of
course it is best for HIM to raise
the extra mule or mules needed.
Ask the Iowa farmer why he does
not use mules and he replies,
"mules do not have colts". By
the use of strong teams and labor
saving farm implements, the wages
of one man will be saved and this
will buy the extra mule, while the
Improvement of the land and in
creased crops will more than pay
for the implements.

The following IS a summary ol
bulletin No. 10 of the Texas Ex-
pertinent Station:
Three methods, "topping", /,
pulling, and ''topping and pull
ing", were tested.
Topping was found to give the
best results for yield of grain.
Pulling gave the most valuable
fodder; topping and pulling the
greatest yield of forage, the yield
of leaf fodder being about half that
of the tops.
Pulling gave the most digestible
fodder, the nutritive ratio of pure
-leaf-fodder being I:6.1-second
only to clover hay.
The cost of topping was least,
the cost of pulling being more than
three times as much as that of top
plug.
Pulling fodder decreased the
corn yield several bushels per acre.
The pulling of fodder is not advis-
able.

Poor seed is costing many farm
ers almost as much as poor land.
The variety tests at the experiment.
al stations show that of twelve of
the leading varieties of corn tested,
the difference between the highest
and the lowest yields per acre on
the same types of soil, with the
identical cultivation and fertiliza-
ton, was. I5.2 bushels at so cents
per bushel; while for cotton it was
700 pounds of seed cotton at 8
cents per pound: this will give us
a clear gain in favor of the best
variety of corn over the poorest of
$3.50 and for cotton, $3.50. l
fully believe that the yields on
many farms can be increased one
fourth by planting the most pro-
ductive seed instead of seed that
have run out. t
Let us not forget that 'tike pro-
duces like. We may buy the best
seed of some reputable breeder or
grower, but it will be necessary
for US to use every known scientific
method in selecting the seed in the
fields every fall or the seed will
rapidly deteriorate. The same
principles and practices that have
been employed with such striking
results in the improvement of the
different breeds of animals must be
followed in breeding up seed.
Every farmer in this State ought
to select his planting seed in the
field in the fall. A little study of
the subject of seed cultivation and
a few days labor in the fall in Sc
lecting cotton and corn seed will
increase the yields very much.
Write to the U. S. Department of
Agriculture for literature on seed
selection.

The fundamental thing is the
school, and the fundamental duty
of the paper that would lead in the
rural development in the South is
to set itself to get the finest school
system that can possibly be de-
vised for its county. Preach local
taxation, don't be afraid to face a
frowning skinhint and preach the
gospel upon which the economic
salvation of the county depends.
The campaign for better schools
may have come to sound trite to
you, but it is not triter than the
talk of politics, and it is vastly
more meaningful. It is our one
hope and our vision OF a greater
South can never be realized with
out it. Every movement which
tends to bring the schools of your
county into closer touch with the
life of the pupils must lead after
they leave the school should be to
you a sacred cause.-Extract from

ing crop for a farmer.

q. A very simple and inexpensive
outfit, consisting merely of a three
roller horse mill for grinding the
cane, and single-horse evaporating
pan, is all that is absolutely neces-
sary for making the best quality Of
syrup.
8. This simple apparatus can
be improved, at very little increas-
ed cost, by the addition of the fol.
lowing.
(a) A single bydrometer for TAX
ing the specific gravity of the syr-
up and thus getting it all of the
proper density.
(b) Gray moss, when it can be
obtained, for filtering the juice as
it comes from the mill.
(c) Upright setting tanks, for
ne nnlSned syrup. 1hlS is very
important.
Cd 1t is best to put the syrup
up in cans hot to insure perfect
sterilization. In this way the syr-
up keeps fresh indefinitely.
Pure cane syrup is seldom found
on the market. Most of the syrup
which we get is only mixture of
gulcose, starch or corn syrup, with
the lowest grade of refuse cane
molasses.
If the farmers of the state are
sufficiently interested in this sub
ject, l will be pleased to discuss
the growing of Louisiana cane.

the one horse plow. The equip

do good work. This mule and a

The object of the following sug-

and make syrup for his own use
and some to spare for the local
