The friends of Hon. J. o. Patter-

is steadily improving. His physi-

much during this very warm wealth
er. He hopes to be able to meet
the Edgefeld voters in a short time,
as it is his purpose to attend some OF
the gatherings in the county.

The cove hills of upper Laurcns have

The Traynhams, Rdgeways and

Of tobacco sticks, arranged them into
a nest in the corner of the house, near
the chimney, and got down on his
nest to hatch out some goslings. When
someone came in and walked up to the
fireplace Gabe would stretch out his
neck and blow and hiss at them like
an old setting goose.
On another occasion he clmed up on
shed and called his people out to see
him sail off through the ETHEREAL blue

He then commenced working his
arms like big bird, and when he

this trial convinced him that he was

A Bale of Cotton.

In recent issue Of the Macon (Ga.D
Telegraph the picture of a bale of
cotton was printed, together with the
EDITORS observations as follows:
This is bale of cotton a lifeless.
inanimate thing; and yet it is worth
about siXty-five dollars-equal to a
big steer, a good COW, or coop of fine
chickens. But the three acres of land,
the labor and the commercial fertili-
ger required to produce it would make
three big steers, three fine COWS and
dozens of coOps of fine chickens.
Cotton is undoubtedly the money
crop" of this section but the money
in the staple can be doubled by divid-
ing the area of the farm between stock.
grain and the root crops and cotton.
The problem of the farm is to keep
up the fertility of the soil All good
authorities agree that there is moth
ing equal to plenty of barnyard ma
nure. but how can you get the barn
yard manure without raising tsock?
The old run-around has it, PLANT
more cotton to buy more fertilizer to

raise more stock 10 make more manure
to produce more cotton. Cotton is

SENATOR SMITH SPEAKS.
He Opposed the Postal Savings Bank
RfII

Last Thursday The States Wash
i'ington correspondent teiegraphed the
following special:
Senator Smith made his first speech
in general debate in the senate today
in opposition to the republican admin
istration's postal savings bank bill
Certain representatives of the Farm
er's union, led by Charlie" Barrett of
Georgia, president, have been urging
democratic members to vote for the
postal savings bank bill, declaring
that it is in the Denver platform. Sen
ator Smith declared that no such mea-
sure as this was in that platform, for
one oi the specified declarations in the
platform was denunciation of the
republican party for advocating n nos
tai savings system, which would ena-
bic the federal government to take
/ the savings of the people out Of the
communities in which they are demos
lted. Mr.. Taft advocated this very
thing and Senator Smith made reply
] to the presidents contentious.
| He said he did not propose to be
taunted into voting for an inquitous
measure by those who were too SUPER
fetal to comprehend the platform.
The Denver platform reads: I'VE
favor postal savings bank if the
I guaranteed bank can not be secured,
/ and believe that it should be so consti-
tuted as to keep the dep' silo.s' money
in the communities were depositors
live. But we condemn the policy OF
republican party in proposing savings
which they would aggregate the de-
posits of the rural communities and
Dank under plan of conduct by
deposits the same while under govern
ment charges in the banks ofWal
street, thus depicting the circulating
medium of the producing regions and
markets"
Senator Smith further pointed out
that the so-called unthrifty Southern
states had increased their national
banks from 596 in 1900 to ,lOS i'm 1909
other banks SIMILARLY; that the loan
and trust companies of the South had
increased their deposits from $323O
in 1900, to $5S,lli,S7l in 1909. So far
as the South is concerned, he declar-
ed. there is no urgent need for the re-
/ publican party to devise means of "en-
couraging thrift" as was the declared
object of this measure.
The senator got good hearing and
made Il good impression.

The Tri-State Grain Growers con-

as to where their sympathy lay, when
they embodied prohibition in the con.

will be circulated, through the rural
postmasters, among the farmers a
short time before the actual census
taking. Copies OF the schedule have
been received in Fargo.
The employment Of this advance
schedule is distinct innovation in
census methods. 1t is the logical and
practical outcome of the census bur-
eau's persistent effort for some time
past to give the farmers clear and
comprehensive preliminary knowledge
Of the Farm Census questions and to
/ induce them to keep written records of
their farm operations and equipments
in readiness for the call of the enum-
orators. beginning April Is next.
Four million copies of the schedule
will be printed and the distribution of
them among farm owners and tenants
will be intrusted . the farm enumera-
tors soon after they are commissioned,
about April 1.
Postmaster General Hitchcock has
| promised the assistance of his depart
ment in the effective distribution of
the schedules, and he will issue in
structions relative thereto to the rural
lpostmasters. They will be required to
address and forward I'd the farmers re-
ceiving mail at their Offices the adj
vance farm schedules supplied them by
the enumerators
In a note to farmers on the, front
page of the schedule, Census Director
Durand states:
TN accordance with the act of Con-
gress, the census of the population and
farms of the United States will begin
on April Is, 1910. On or soon after that
/ date an enumerator will call at your
house for the purpose of obtaining the
required information concerning your
farm.
Many of the questions which will be
asked you concerning the equipment
and operations of your farm can not
be accurately answered by you with
out considerable thought and the MAX
ing of careful calculations or estimates
Therefore, this from has been sent tc
you in adance. so that you may study
the questions at your convenience and
write down the answers to all ques-
tions that apply to your farm. and to
have the answers written down be-
fore the enumeration comes.
you are earnestly requested to read
this form and instructions carefully, to
keep it until the enumerator comes. BY
doing this you can save yourself much
time and contribute greatly to the sac
cess of the agricultural census.
Besides the information concerning
your farm, the enumerator will also
ask you the names, ages, and other
facts concerning the members Of your
household"
