TIMELY ADVICE.

The press Of the South is
sounding a note Of warning to
the Southern farmer with the
hope that the farmer may accept
the opportunity to in some meas
ure supply the shortage in feed
stuffs for the work animals for
another year.
AS a rule the farmer pays but
little attention to what he sees
in a newspaper and usually
ridicules the advice given by
newspaper men, holding that
they are not practical farmers
and therefore disqualified by
reason of their lack of farm
knowledge to advise a man who
has farmed all his life. Let this
be as it way, there is one propo
sition that will take us all to
solve and that is, how to get
through next year without bank
rupting the South.
With prevailing prices for cot
ton every available foot of ground
another year will be planted in
cotton. To do this, will require
additional OUTLAWS for work
animals, mules principally, which
will add to the necessity for more
feed stuff. The South is practic
ally bare Of food for both man
and beast. We must provide it
by trying to raise it or pay
prohibitive prices in the spring.
How to supply it at home is g
problem that must be solved be.

Our scientific farmers, who
must no longer be sneered at,

which can be harvested in time
to make feed for use in making
the next crop. Now is the time
to make this preparation and thu

of these people will find himsel
confronted with a serious prob
lem in making another crop.

What's the matter with the

Piles, one of the most profitable
crops that can be raised? While
our population is rapidly increas-
ing, and while we are exporting
more and more of the fruit, the
production of apples in the
United Stases has been falling
for nearly fifteen years. In 1895
we raised 60, 000,0 GOO barrels and
in 1896, IS, goo, 900. For the
last four wears the average yield
has been less than 28,O00,0 600.
In 1908 the crop was only 23,OOo,-
900. In 1902 we exported only
$500, 900 bushels: in 1907, $780,
600. The apple is the fruit OF

have to pay for a thing why not

Enterprise.
The above from Our esteemed
contemporary puts the road
proposition in a practical way
and the question suggests the
only answer to it.
If we have to pay for a thing
why not have it? The Missis-
sippi farmer pays for coed roads
every year but he does not have
them and suffers the loss and
inconvenience which bad roads
bring. But who stops to figure
out the difference in the cost Of
good and bad roads?
1t is a practical question and it
has been done.
In France it costs ST 90 to haul
the same amount that it costs
SIS 90 to haul in this country.
The farmer in France has put
enough money in roads to make
a saving of Sl3 90 over the farm
er of the United States. France
has been building roads many
years and this country will finally
awaken to the fact that it is
economy to build roads.

an interesting story of loyalty to home

is sadly in need Of tonic in this

"The Des Moines Bridge and Iron

unfair concerns in the country, and
their hatred of union labor is ex-

therefore with pleasure that any con-
tract lost by this concern is hailed by us
who believe in that for which united

following so closely upon that of Mr..
Warriner who chased the same firm
and prevented their erection of his
