GOOD LESSONS FROM FARMER
His Success Is Measured by His Own
Character and the Farm He
Owns or Operates.

The success of farmer is not meas.
ured wholly by the extent of his land
holdings or the amount of his bank
account, but by his own character and
that of the farm which he owns or
tends. Opportunities for doing good
in the world are not limited. The
total sum of the good done is made
up by the acts and achievements of
all the individuals of a community.
The farmer is not outside this group.
He is inside it just the same as the
town man or city man is and his ca
pacity for elevating the community
at large is unlimited.
All men who are worth the name
are teachers. The farmer can, and
does, teach valuable lessons, not only
to other farmers, but to everybody.
There is probably no other one thing
that attracts so much attention and
Is admired and incites inspiration in
others as we'll as we'll kept farm.
1t Is an object lesson which carries
its value directly home. People can.
not resist its influence. Whenever
they see neat farm they immediate
ly wish to own one like it, or to pro-
duce something in another line which
will be as good or better.
When we inspire people to do ideal
and good things we have done more
for them than If we had given them
a fortune outright, for when people
start to thinking along sane and pro-
gressive lines they Immediately begin
to help themselves and others, which
is the high water mark of charity.
It is very commendable thing to
grow large and perfect field crops and
to have the very best of live stock
It is equally commendable to have a
comfortable, convenient and attractive
home. Where else can the truly ideal
home be built than on the farm? Ey.
cry condition here is perfect. Space
for the house is unlimited and cheap.
In the country the poor man can have
as spacious and as beautiful grounds
as the millionaire In the city. Why
envy the city rich man when we have
all the really good cheap things that
his money can buyf

Different KINDS OF COTTON
Advantages Of Raising 45-BoII Variety
Better Sample Of Higher Value
and Less Falls Out.

= Cotton Is picked by hand and
whether 1t be large or small, only one
boil is picked at a time, the same
movement of the hand is required in
either case-yet If the boil be large
the hand can grasp and draw out the
cotton more readily than from a small
boil. The picker with the same move
ment gets more cotton from the large
boil. If the large boil has twice the
cotton Of the small boil the picker
gets twice as much cotton with the
same movement and gets it quicker,
writes R. L. Bennett in Farm and
Ranch. A picker then can easily pick
about twice as much cotton in a day
from cotton that has As bolls to the
pound of seed cotton as he can from
a cotton that has 80 bofls to the
pound, With 400, 500 and more pounds
of cotton against 200 and $50 for
days labor, it would seem easy to de-
eide which cotton the farmer would
prefer to grow-yet nine-tenths of the
varieties grown are small boil cot
tons, ranging from 60 to 90 bolls to
the pound.
There are other advantages of a As
sbOll cotton; about half as much trash
comes off of one large boil as comes
of of two small bolls. A better SAM
pie Of the cotton if of higher value.
Generally As or so boil cotton is more
storm proof; less falls out from winds
and rains. The tip end bolls of the
lower limbs may bend to the ground
with the weight Of the large bOlls and
get sandy, but the cotton is not lost
and the sand is small matter as com.
pared with the cotton falling out on
. the ground from most of the bolls of
sthe best shall boil varieties. The
few best varieties of large boil cot.
tons have as high percentage of lint
to Seed-S7 to 40, as any small boil
cotton, and the large bolls have a lar.
ger seed, which makes a stronger
young plant. The best varieties Of
large boil cotton set their bolls as
early and mature Just as early as the
small bolls. but a few days longer
may be required for them to open, but
these few days disappear in dry cli-
mate.
In view, then, Of the many superior
advantages Of As to so boil cotton, il
is strange that smaller cottons are
grown, but it is only recently that
such large bolls have been introduced.
The small boil varieties disappear
whenever the farmer buys his plant
ing seed on scale Of qualities, In
stead of relying on the assertion of
the seller that that variety or seed
made or will make three bales per
. age; and that it is the best cotton
on earth" Why not require the seller
to state the size Of the bolls, number
to the pound and diameter, which, II
It be q As boil. the diameter cannot be
less than Is inches, and about two
or more inches long. Why not re-
Quire a statement Of the percentage
eof lint to seed, and length Of staple,
which should not be less than 1-16
inch, whether full storm proof and
easy to pick? It is better to select
seed on qualities, and it is equally
better to know and grow cotton By
definite qualities.
