little profit will result from feeding
on such margins.
OF course there is always class of
farmers who rush into the hog BUSH
ness when prices are high, as at the
present time, and then will be ready
to close out the entire herd if prices
should be low next fall. AS a general
rule men of this type never can be ex-
pected to make any money from the
hog business, nor from any other bust
ness to which they apply the same
methods. We believe that any average
farmer who has produced hogs for the
market during period of ten years
and who has made use of intelligent
methods in feeding, would find upon
investigation that his ledger in the
swine business would show a big bal
ance on the right side.

Writing for Publication.

The reason why so many writer's
fail is because they try to write when
they have nothing to say. Or, If they
really have ideas, they are unable to
express themselves clearly. The anna.
teur must keep to the short sentence.
1t is much safer. Do not fancy that
one can merely sit down and write,
An article must be planned as the
architect designs the dwelling, every
detail being carefully thought out and

RAIN IS NEEDED
FOR COTTON CROP

MEMPHIS, Tenn, July 26.-In its weekly cot
ton crop report the Commercial Appeal says:
Rainfoll in the cotton belt throughout me
month Of July has been light. This has becn
favorable to the extent that 1t has permitted
thorough cultivation, but now that such culti-
walton has been accomplished. the need Tor ram
is becoming general Outside of Texas there
has as vet been acute suffering, but II Is
very desirable that general rains should rail-
within the coming week.
The plant has not made rapid growth ana
is still small everywhere, except In oklahoma,
but II is stocky and would readily respond TO
the stimulation Of abundant moisture. Guilt
walton is being rapidly completed.
In Texas reports covering the week to sat
urday night at o'clock show that abundant
rains fell in southern and western parts or
the state and that the crop, although 1t had
suffered severely, was much benefited In cen
trail and northern counties some rains fell with
great benefit to the cotton, but many dis
tricts in these sections had very light showers
or no rain at all and are still dry. 1t is
characteristic Of central Texas, as elsewhere In
the belt, that rains were spotted and local, al
though in instances heavy.
New cotton has begun to move in southern
Texas and picking will begin this week as far
north as Navaota. Southern Georgia also ex-
poets to begin picking this week.
The most marked gains during the week were
made in Alabama, Georgia and the Carolinas,
where the crop In many instances now makes
better promise than was at one time thought
possible.

TO HONOR MEMORY
OF GENERAL JOHNSTON

DALTON, Ga, July 26.-The Daughters
of the Confederacy met here and ap-
pointed committees to secure sufficient
funds to build monument to Ger. Joseph
E. Johnston. This plan has been fire.
quently discussed in the past, but this
is the first organized effort to get the
monument. Col. Tomlinson Fort, of Chat
tanooga, has offered to head the list
for the fund with 800.
Among the numerous committees ap-
pointed was one to go to Atlanta to try
to get the legislature interested in the
plan and secure an appropriation. During
a recent trip to this city, Governor Brown
expressed himself as favoring the move
ment.
It was here that General Johnston re-
organized his army during the civil war
and began his great retreat to Atlanta.
The house where he had his headquarters
still stands in what is now known as
Pentz street.
The Daughters of the Confederacy have
entered into the matter in an enthusi-
astic manner, and intend to erect the
monument within a short time.
