is to be produced he must map out the
lines on which the costumIng is TO be
done. and those lines must be absolute

The advance system bears
down upon the cotton farmer
with special hardship. His crop
is either sold at once or is forced
to the gin and warehouse so as to
secure loans. If the cotton farm
err is not forced to sell to raise
money or pay debts he will store
his crop on his farm and market
at his leisure, which is in the
interests of all parties.

he trades for cash. The greater
amount of money he has is very
helpful to the family, but the

to be considered. The merchant

1 COMMON EaRoR

make their crop upon the ad-
vance system, and while this
has been regarded as an economic
error on the side of the farmer,
by many merchants it has been
thought that it was very profit
able way Of buying cotton.
The farmer realized that, as
matter of safety. it was better to
make the food consumed by his
family and his stock upon the
farm rather than to purchase it
and especially when he had to
promise payment out OF a crop
which had not as yet been made.
I have been watching this phase
of country life in the South for
many years, and have come to the
conclusion that TIN" advance sys-
tenn" is just as great a mistake
on the part of the merchant as 1t
is on the part of the farmer, for
the following reasons:
First, the merchant takes great
risks. which. of course, he tries
to cover by increased charges.
But, even though these charges
are increased, the staples OF life
are not such articles as a high
per cent of profit will adhere to,
and the merchant is practically
trading gold for a promise to pay.
If the crop fails he is obliged to
carry and carry and carry and
possibly may ultimately, as in
thousand of cases, be obliged to
take the farm, for which he has
no use, and under boil weevel
conditions, is difficult to handle
profitable upon a tenant system.
Under a cash system there
will be a great reduction in the
sales of some staple foods such
as bacon, potatoes, beans, lard,
vegetables, canned goods, hay,
corn. etc.. all articles that carry
low profits. The farmer is a
hoarder of money and If he saves
two hundred dollars or more by
producing all his food supplies at
home he has that much more to
spend when his crop is made, and
it is cash.
Under cash system the farm
er will buy with his surplus cash
more dry goods, clothing, shoes,
furniture, etc., for his family,
better teams, farm implements,
wagons, buggies, etc, on which
there is much greater profit for
the merchant than on staple arti-
cles of food. The merchant can
turn his money in thirty days,
instead of year. Ten per cent
clear profit turned monthly IS
better than 100 per cent gain re-
ceived annually. Some of the
farmers increased income goes
into permanent improvement TO
enable the farmer to produce
more and spend more annually.
Again, there is something
about raising cotton, tobacco, ETC.,
topay a debt that snaps theVitaIi-
tv OF the farmer and affects the
quality OF his tillage. 1t really
lowers the grade Of farming. #
upon the other hand Jae mer-
chants will joia with sin urging
farmers to raise all their food
supplies and Try TO produce by
better tillagc double the crop per
acre they now produce the re-
suit as it affects the merchant
will be this:
All business viii soon be on a
cash basis and the volume will be
three or four times as large from
the farmers alone. The advent
of more money will bring diversi-
fled industries among the farm
ers and eventually will attract
manufactures to the market
towns.

THE Too-cLEvER WOMAN.

Man unjustly accuses woman or en-
joying a monopoly of vanity, when, as
a matter of fact, no woman Is any
more vain than most men, and in some
respects mere man is so much more
vain than woman that comparison is
ridiculous. A good many men spend
as much time as any belle over their
attire and the manner of its assump-
ton on state occasions, but the real
vanity of man concerns his brains. he
likes a clever woman, but the very in
slant he suspects she is cleverer than
he, he takes fright. His vanity is
hurt. Inasmuch as awe and love are
not given to rambling leafy lanes hand
in hand. and man in his superiority
likes to believe woman dependent upon
him mentally as we'll as for creature
needs, the woman who is really clever
will never allow her cleverness to OBJ
trude itself too strongly upon men.
Wit is a good servant, but bad mas
ter The girl who acquires a reputa-
ton for putting on airs, or being
smart" is never popular among men.
The too-clever woman is handicapped
by her cleverness. 1t sometimes pays
TO pamper foolish, egotistic man, and
use wit with discretion.

The sad plight of an old couple
driven from the home they had given
to their daughter is pitiful testimony
to the heartlessness of children who
are humored. petted and pampered
into selfshness by indulgent parents.
The daughter who turns her aged par
ents into the street is like the hus-
band who borrows his wife's girlhood
savings and spends them on other
women. In each case the fault is in
fathers and mothers who permit their
children to grow up selfish. Parents
and wives who are tempted to sacri
fee the little substance which guar
antees their independence should be
ware. Love is blind, and there is dan
ger in intrusting common sense to &
blind guide.

There can be no long felt or deeply
serious depression from financial panic
in a country whose agricultural pro-
duction is increasing at the rate of
$3OO,OO0,0O0 a year. Nearly $S,000,O0O,-
900 of new wealth was brought up out
of the ground in the year just coming
to close, or $50 per capita on basis
of 100,000,000 population-an increase
OF more than a third of billion over
the the soil production of 1907. These
are farm values based on prices paid
the producer, and the increase has
como despite the fact that cotton and
hay, the second and third crops in i'm
portance. measured by aggregate
value. have experienced a heavy slump
in price as compared with the prices
prevalent year ago.
