The weather Of the week has been q
continuance Of that which preceded,
some rain and some sunshine. The
threshers have been working part Of the
time, but unless the weather changes
they will never complete the work this
fall. OF course the blowing is pro.
portionatly behind and we do not re
member for many years when 30 little
plowing was done at this time Of the
year. Unless we have an extraordinary
fall there is no possibility now Of getting
any great amount of ground ready for
next crop this fall. The usual time OF
freezing-up is only q week away, though
it is our personal belief that SO much
spring plowing will be not altogether a
misfortune to the country, because it
will tend to kill out the weeds.

to enforce then onr pleading would be
vain. The mere fact that we have the
power to enforce what we believe to be
right. will 60 far to prevent war which
otherwise would be bloody and wrong.
Yes, as Grant said "Let US have
peace" but even in war, tan ounce of
prevention is better than a pound Of
cure." Navies cost money, sure, but
war is the most expensive thing possible
for it wastes both human lives and
money.

URGES BETTER
CARE OF COTTON
Agricultural Expert of Frisco
Railroad Also Advises More
Attention to FOTage

That the farmer of the South
should give "better' attention to
the cotton and more attention to
forage crops is the opinion of f. S
White, agricultural and horticultu-
raj commissioner Of the Frisco lines,
who is now touring the country
with a large carload of farm prod
ucts.
In his address Mr.. White says.
81 have been giving most of nv
attention to experiments with prod
ucts of foreign countries" said
Mr.. White this morning, "and
have found that many Of them can
be made to do as well or better thau
any do in their native countries
My big hobby is more and larger
forage crops and believe the sue
cess of the Southern planter de
pends on his efforts with subsGi-
tute for corn and getting feed
stuff that comes cheaper. We have
tried the japanese barnyard miles
throughout all sections traversed by
the Frisco and it is found to be
well adapted to this climate and the
conditions of Southern soil. III
planted with cowpeas japanese
barnyard millet should make cen
tons to the acre. The Manatoba
hog millet, found in Southern
Europe, as well as Egyptian wheat,
do well here and make excellent
feed for poultry and hogs. TheN
the japanese stock bean is making
remarkable showing. This has a
high feeding value and eau be
grown anywhere on any kind Of
soil. The Florida giant beggar
weed is another cheap and excellent
product for this country. 1t is un-
beatable for both hogs and cattle"
Mr.. White believes there is a big
future IN this country for the Japan
ese soya bean which was treated al
length recently in report to sine
federal government by Julien Z.
Brodc.
