freely made there that before Deem
Der fifteen cents pound will be paid
for the staple. A farmer who will
spend an hour or more talking to the
cotton men of Savannah will go
home convinced that he is going to
get enough for his crop this year to
pay off all the back debts and reduce
size of the mortgage on the farm.
Those who are looking for extra
high prices for the staple are basing
their assertions upon the crop re-
ports and the great demand for &C
tual cotton that Is already being felt.
The governments cotton report of
June 18th showed a general average
of but 74.6. This was very poor.
The usual average condition is about
So.
With the government forecasting
a poor cotton crop, with heavy rain
throughout the cotton belt at a criti-
cal time and with the stock from
last years crop considerably reduced
as compared to former years, there
seems nothing for the price to do
but advance. If it does not advance
there is going to be much disappoint-
ment from the planter straight
through to the exporter. If the South
can get fifteen cents a pound for cot
ton this season it will help some to
meet the high prices for necessities
which the government tariff barons

COWS THAT PAY.

We hear a great deal said about
COWS that don't pay. Their keep
comes to more than their products.
Well, it is all true. You don't want
such COWS. Still, we can't all own
the heaviest mixers and the biggest
butter-makers. Nor do we need to.
Neither are they always the COWS that
return the most profit. A COW that
produces less often costs less for in
vestment and her keep, and hence re-
turns as much or more clear profit
This is a fact, though not an argu-
ment against fine COWS. They are
all right in their place.
There are many points to watch
in the dairy business. The man
with the finest COWS and the biggest
barns does not always come out
ahead. 1t is the man who makes ends
meet in the best way. You need not
despair because you don't have pre-
MUM COWS and a big plant.-Texas
Farmer.

The winter oat crop should be
seeded this month. Early seeding is
essential to success. Late seed oats
are almost invariably injured badly
by the frost. They have not time to
get filtered over the ground suffi-
GENTLY to keep the frost from heav-
ing out the plants. A great mistake
made by most farmers is that they
will persist in seeding oats on the
poorest land on the farm Whilst
it is true that oats will make a
crop of some kind on poorer land
than almost any other crop, except it
may be rye, it is doing the crop a
great injustice to subject it to this
treatment. If the crop is too full of
great possibilities to be so treated,
if put on good land and literally
helped a yield of from fifty to seven
ty-f1ve bushels to the acre can be
safely counted upon, and this yield
will pay better than an average
wheat crop, and, besides this, the oats
and the straw are worth more for use
on the farm than a wheat crop

THE DEMAND FOR UMBRELLAS.
Changing Weather Ideal from the
saIesman's Point of View.

NNA@1A-AAAAA
Naturally. said the umbrella
salesman, I'VE sell more umbrellas
when 1t rains than when It doesn't,
but ideal weather for the retail um-
brella trade would be found in a
constant succession OF days that
.tarted bright and clear and wound
up stormy.
ITO be sure we sell more or less
umbrellas all the time. on clear days
as well as on rainy. In time OF
peace prepare for war. you know,
and that sort Of thing. and there are
people who buy their umbrellas and
have them ready; but It is on such
a day as have described that we
sell the most umbrellas.
You take a bright and sunny and
lovely day that promises to stay SC
and that holds so until along in the
afternoon, a day on which the streets
and the stores are filled with shop
pers, and then let a storm come up
taking people unawares-then we
sell umbrellas.
"on such a day we have custom
ers here standing along the umbrel'
la counter perhaps two or $hree
deep. people buying umbrellas; or
such q day we sell hundreds Of um-
brellas In one afternoon. It's an III
wind that blows nobody good. don't
you knowf The rainy days are the
bright days in the umbrella busi-
ness"
