The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1910-04-07

The all-cotton man will tell you
soberly that there is no money in
anything but cotton, while the fact
is, that In most cases he has not
found a great deal In cotton. Yet
here and there are farmers who have
found out what there is in cotton
when they farm instead of merely
plant cotton. Talking once with a
large cotton farmer In South Caro-
lima who generally made more than
a bale per acre, he said that he. had
made cotton at a cost of four and a
half cents per pound, and that the
cured bacon that I saw him selling
by the wagon load cost him the same
price per pound. Cotton was then
six cents a pound, and he still had a
little margin, but the bacon and hams
averaged him fourteen cnts pound,
and the feeding of the hogs left
something to help his soil.
At that time the all-cotton men
were in distress, for they could not
make cotton at four and half cents
a pound after being carried by mer-
chant and paying 100 per cent on
everything they bought. The other
man kept hogs and sheep and cattle,
and made corn and oats and hay
and fed them, too, and, of course, he
had manure, and with these auxili-
aries he was carried, but not by the
merchant. He bought for cash all
that he needed to buy, and he did
not need to buy much, for he did not
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1910-04-07

need to buy fertilizers for his corn,
nor a complete fertilizer for his cot
ton, for it followed after peas and
crimson clover. His land was in
creasing in fertility and productive
ness, while the all-cotton men were
asking what fertilizer to use for
corn, oats, wheat, cotton and every
other crop and could not think of
planting any of these helping crops
without buying more fertilizer for
them, they can not understand that
they need not buy complete ferti-
lizer for every other crop, and they
Jump to the conclusion that cotton
is the only crop that they can af-
ford to grow.

Cotton-Our Greatest Crop.

There is no crop grown In the
United States that offers better prof.
it's for good farming than cotton,
and there is no crop grown that
keeps men poorer, when grown in
the old single-crop way than cotton.
These old methods have enriched
the fertilizer manufacturers and have
made wastes of thousands Of acres
in the cotton belt. They have kept
thousands of men in bondage to the
merchant and the fertilizer seller,
year after year taking up the old
hopeless task of going in debt to
start the cotton crop, and coming
out at the end of the season often
worse off than at the beginning.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1910-04-07

The old Dutchman's idea was the
more manure the more forage; the
more forage the more cattle, and the
more cattle to make more manure.
In all the world over there has never
been a system of farming that per-
manently improved the productive
ness of the land that was not found
ed on live stock industry of some
sort, and I know of no part of the
world where the dependence of the
farmers for sale crops on fertilizers
only has failed to reduce the produc-
tiveness of that section-Progresslve
Farmer.

the supporters Of the memorial to the
man Who gave Topeka her prettiest
park were unable to arouse the proper
sentiment at the proper time and to a
proper eXtent-thuS the small sum OF
$21.75 was all that could be procured
The boulder, a beautiful piece OF
Workmanship, both by the contractors
and the hand of Nature, stands facing
The main driven ay of Gage park, com
pleted. But as it stands, it is a dis
grace to the people of the city that 1t
is not paid for and only about $40 b Is
been subscribed. Subscriptions may be
left at the Sta to Journal Office.
In speaking of the origin Of the me-
mortal tablet and its history, Captain
Joseph G. Waters who originated the
memorial plaus said this afternoon:
&c. q. Gage had in his mind for
years to give a monument to the
memory of the private soldier, claim
ing that all sorts of monuments had
been erected to all other kinds of peo-
pie, but not one to a private soldier.
His wife from the very first did all
she could to see that this idea of his
should materialiZe, and 1t is known
that she offered to sell all her jewelry
and gems to bring it about
This was finally brought about, and
the statue to the common soldier in
the Topeka cemetery is the result. At
a parade rest, this soldier faces the
west, and all around it are the graves
of soldiers dying in this city or
brought here for burial. It is the
story repeated over again in the gift of
Gage park. His wife saw that it be-
came a reality and there was nothing
that gave her more satisfaction. Dur
ing the time she was ill with the
disease that ended fatally, she busted
herself in the building of the gate
way to the park. Some old citizens
of the city knew that she would be
pleased with some modest recogni-
ton on the part of the public of
such gift, withal simple and mex
pensive, and a boulder of hardest por-
phyry was found on this Gage tract
just one, just the size and shape, and
no more. 1t had laid there from the
time of the glacial drift occurring
ages and ages ago, and then ages, as
II with prophetic vision 1t saw millions
of years away the dedication of this
park and that 1t would come handy
to express peoples thanks for the
park.
1T was a sentimental thing to put
up that boulder.
There is a concrete foundation. and
then fine massive granite stone.
which had been polished, was chinned

cemented, and then the bronze tablet
was fastened onto the boulder. And
for all time it will suggest the thank
fulness of the public to Mr.. Gage and
his wife. The entire cost was $137
and Mr.. BANTER has seen that it was
iinished with not a cent of profit to
him. There has been about thirty
dollars collected. Every person asked
has given, but this, like every other
public concern, must be presented
personally to obtain the balance. The

BOSTON PLANS REGATTA
FOR AMATEUR OARSMFN
Harvard Varsity Crew May Meet
Belgian Crew in Interna-

MANY CRACKS TO BE ENTERED

Boston, Feb. 5.-Providing the plans

scene during the coming summer of
one of the greatest rowing regattas
ever held I'm this country. 1t is the idea
of the projectors to secure the cham
pionship regatta of the National AS
ISOLATION of Amateur oarsmen, with
special feature embodying race
between the Harvard varsity crew
and the famous eight Of the Royal
Club Nautlque de Gand. Belgium.
The Belgium crew is at the present
time the holder of the Grand Chal-
lenge Cup, won at the famous Henley
regatta held i'm England on July and
last year. Since the plan was first
proposed at a meeting of prominent
local oarsmen its supporters have been
assured of liberal support by innu-
entail patrons of the sport. SO far
as the n. A. A. o. regatta is con-
cerned, Boston has been assured of
this event by President James Pill
kington, if the local association cares
to finance the same
A meeting of the delegates of the

England Association has been assured
of the willingness of both crews TO
compete i'm such an event The one
drawback, as seen from a local stand
point. is the lack of suitable quarters
along Boston basin for the housing OF
the several hundred oarsmen who
would attend such a series of con
tests. 1t is thought, however, that
| temporary structures of acceptable
nature could be constructed and tina

offer every training facility to the

undoubtedly attract thousands OF WIS.,

race would be on park property anc

could be raised by subscription among
local business concerns which would
profit by the influx of visitors and
the event would be a most worthy
one as the opening feature of one OF

Joking or complaining aside, how
ever, as a rule the mother-in-law is
the architect of her own destiny. In
proportion as she makes herself low
able. so is she valued by her daughter
in-law or son-in-law, and all who
come within her presence. If she
has the proper conception of her
status, and is amiable, forgiving, pru-
dent and forbearing, her place in the
affections of the family is secure and
sacred. She soon discovers that there
is neither fiippancy nor impotence in
the attitude of others toward her. but
an abiding confidence, sympathy, and
