Farmer Should Raise Supplies on His
Farm.

In view of the present high cost
Of living it behooves the Southern
farmer TO consider well what crop
will be most profitable to him in the
long run. The time has come, when
it is very important that the farmer
should become a business mar. This
thing. of farming at haphazard should
be abandoned, and all work upon the
farm planned with the same system
and skill that characterizes the man.
agement of any other business, by
planning his crops, about how many
horses and mules, hogs, cows and
sheep he will have to feed during
the year, and his crop should be SO
arranged that an abundant supply of
GOOD feed may be stored away for
their maintenance during the year.
There will be q temptation when
spring comes to plant more land in
cotton.
The high prices of this great
money crop of the South, during the
past season, will be an inducement
to a larger acreage. Every cotton
grower ought to know by this time
that there is no certainty about the
price of cotton. One year, the price
may be very attractive, and the next
it may be very d~iscouraging. 1t is
always safe to raise some cotton.
Every farmer must have some money,
and it is easy to get money for cot
ton, but cash is not all that a farmer
must have. Every one may rest as
sured that there will be plenty of
cotton, and another thing is also
true, that the farmer cannot eat his
cotton or feed it to his stock. He
will also find that lie cannot raise
cotton and purchase supplies as
economically as he can grow them
on farm for these things will con-
tinue to be high priced. If it is
necessary for a farmer to use on his
farm 500 bushels of corn or 20 tons
of hay, or 1000 pounds of meat,
the cheapest way for him to get these
supplies is to raise them on his farm.
He saves paying freight and profits
for handling, as well as his own time
for hauling.
Besides the time and money saved
by growing his supplies on his own
farm, the farmer saves immensely in
the building up of his soil and the
growing of larger crops by the ro-
tation which he is forced to practice.
The all cotton farmer soon exhausts
his soil and is thus forced to depend
upon commercial fertilizers to pro-
duce his crops, which entails another
The independent farmer is he whose
crib supplies the corn for the years
feeding. the smoke house the meat,
the hay NOW Nthe rough feed, and
the vegetable garden and orchard an
abundant supply of fruits and vege-
tables.
This argument for home grown sup
plies should not be necessary, but it
is. Thousands of farmers over the
South will continue to make bills for
these easily grown crops for atime,
but sooner OF later, they will adopt
better methodist. @. Millsops, in

AWNINGS COMING DOWN.
But Temper are Going Up-SterE
Asks For Injunction.

Pursuant to the recent order Of
the city council, awnings are falling
all over totwn today, but the fall is
accompanied by perceptible rise
In temperature. Some Of them are
ornamental, and some Of them are
not, but not many property owners
are willing to have theirs put in the
latter class, and most of them are
convinced II not beautiful the avn
ings are useful and valuable. The
awning in front of the Prendergast
store, one OF the largest, Is being rap
idly demolished; but other merch-
ants, instead of demolishing the avn
ings, are preparing to demolIsh the
ordinance, and some interesting legal
controversies are about due.
AS a starter, G. G. Sterl has filed
a petition for injunction to restrain
the city from tearing down the avn
ing in front Of his store on Broad
way, retaining Hurd & Hurd as his
attorneys. Probate Judge Anderson

using of the public schools as a
means % this end. 1t might be ar
gued that the children likely to be-
come criminals are a relatively small
group, and that school methods ought
not to be distorted to meet the needs
of a special class.
The answers are obvious. One Is
that crime ia so serious an evil that
large measures are warranted in the
conduct of any social institution in
the effort to prevent 1t.
A second answer Is that the main
measures for preventing boys from
becoming criminals are not measures
for taking bad out Of them, but for
putting good into them, and the kinds
of good which in moderate amounts
will prevent the beginning Of Grim
inal career are the same kinds of
good which In larger amounts will
make of boy the best possible citi-
zen. The measures by which the
schools can be most effective in
making fairly good citizens out Of
the potential criminals who enter
their doors, are the very measures
by which they can give the greatest
benefit to all of their pupils, and
from every possible point of view, the
measures by which they can best
serve the communities which support
them.

TO SLAUGHTER CHINCH BUGS.
Prof. Headlee Gives Advice-Inter.
esting Experiments.

Can the farmers ofs Kansas, by
following the advice of experts, rid
the state of chinch bugs? T. ]. Head
lee, professor of entomology at the
Kansas Agricultural College, who
knows as much or more than any
one else of these pests and their
history, says the farmer can do 1t.
Contrary to the accepted idea of the
general public, the chinch bugs are
said to have done more damage this
year to corn than to wheat. This
is because the small brood appears
first in the spring wheat and later
in the summer changes its habitation
and activities to the adjoining corn
fields. No one knows exactly what
damage has been done to the corn
and wheat, but 1t is accepted as
fact among those who have studied
the situation carefully. that the ,orr
received the brunt OF the attack.
In the last two summers the
chinch bugs have done large dam
age to corn throughout the central
part of the state from the north to
south. especially in that pert de-
voted TO wheat and corn. Tails. in

drive out the chinch bugs, Hessian

Headlee and bis assistants have CIV

at the expense of the state, describ-

or two men have been kept in the

the infested districts. This was done
from before harvest last year to the
present. The man so assigned trav-
eled almost continually from one part
to the other Of the section where his

J. D. Shepherd Of Abilene, whose
Duroc Jersey hogs carried off seven
blue ribbons out of a possible fifteen
at the Dickinson County Fair this
year, had heavy competition to meet
in his department. The result re-
fleets credit upon the successful ex-
hibitor and upon Dickinson county
breeders generally.
This competition came principally
from W. R. Grow of Hutchinson, one
OF the best known breeders of Du-
roc hogs in the state. Mr.. Grow has
carried off the lions share OF prem
iums at fairs and exhibits where he
has had to meet the largest breed
ers in Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and
