him, but pneumonia set IN, which
caused his death. Very sweet did

tons and probably the leading planter
in that state, says:
I regret to say that our crops in
this part of the state, and in fact,
throughout the entire state, are
not at all satisfactory and l note
with pleasure that Georgia has a
much better crop. With a big
crop present prices ought to make
your farmers rich.
Such is the tenor of the reports as
to conditions in the states around us
and every indication points to the
fact that Georgia, while much below
her average, possesses a decided adj
vantage over the other cotton-growing
states in comparative yield.
With cotton around 10 cents, anc
sure to go still higher as the true croI
conditions are more generally realized
the Georgia farmer, as a class, will be
in splendid financial position.
Even with a reduction of 100000
bales in the Georgia crop which is the
maximum shortage production for the
state, it will mean more money to the
farmers of Georgia by some millions
at present prices, than at those which
prevail in years of bumper crops.
Altogether, therefore, Georgia's veal
Of prosperity promises to be a more
than memorable one.

An Arkansas farmer solved the
sheep-killing dog problem in a sue
cessful way. After he had lost thirty
sheep he built in the pasture a square
pen of logs, and rooted it, but left a
big hole in the middle in which he
suspended part of a sheep. Nearly
every morning when he went to the
pen he found one or more dogs in
there, which he quietly put out of
business. In the course of the winter
he caught about forty dogs and didn't
lose any more sheep. Moreover, he
kept on good terms with his neighbors,
which is a hard thing to do If you
shoot their dogs and go around brag-
ging about it,

A little more than century ago, q
100000 acres in the Landes, France
were shifting sand dunes and disease
breeding marshes. The planting of
pines has changed this to one of the
most productive and healthful in
France. Great forests have taken the
place of the sand dunes and marshes,
and the wood, charcoal, turpentine
rosin and other industries, have
brought prosperity to what was the
most desolate region in the country.
Forests now cover IS per cent of
France. or 2S,5OO,OOO acres. The State
forests-6,O00,00O acres-cost annually
50 cents an acre, and yield a yearly
income of $5,000,0OO.
