tionizing the south. Both young and
old are engaged in it. Many of the
boys have been each given an acre
upon which to raise cotton, and there
are now boy cotton clubs as well as
boy corn clubs. These acre farms are
to be seen everywhere. and the poor
farmer cannot help knowing the big
yields of his neighbors.
The government is trying to get the
very best farmers TO make the ex-
periments. The agents pick out those
who are noted for their success and
common sense and ability. In many
cases they persuade the older planters
to engage in the work. and that with
difficulty. Take. for instance one old
Georgia farmer. who had been growing
crops after the ordinary methods for
40 years. The man stood high in his
community. and IL took much persua-
sion to get him to promise to set out
an acre, and work it on the new plan
About two weeks after that the agri-
cultural department man again ap-
peared. He found noraing doing and
asked the planter why he was not
carrying out his part Of the contract.
To tell the truth, my man, I never
thought you would be around again"
but you promised to set out that
acre and plant 1T just as I told you"
$50 1 did," was the reply, and now
that you have come again I will do
It,"
Well" said the agent, suppose we
go out now and start your men TO
blowing. and I Will come around every
week and see how you and they are
following my Instructions"
The old man laughed, but he went
with the agent to the barn and picked
out the tools. Among his farm i'm

he said was no good because it plowed
too deep for his land The agent in
sisted. however, that 1t was all right,
and he did not leave until four mules
were hitched to ii and the ground
was broken up TO what the planter
said was a ruinous depth He then
saw the land narrowed. and instructed
the farmer about his seed and how to
plant it.
To make long story short the cot
ton came up with more vigor than
any ever raised on that land before,
and when, later on. the old man was
asked to run a cultivator over the
crop to cut out the weeds and keep
down the grass he replied that 1t
would ruin the cotton, and when the
agent insisted. saying he would guar
antee him against loss. the planter
gave the order, but went away with
tears III his eyes saying he COuiQ not
stay there and see his crop torn to
pieces. He was surprised to find, how
ever, that the cotton grew better than
ever, and when, at the end of the sea-
son, he found that he had gotten two
bales OF cotton from that acre. where
as the rest of his land had produced
less than one-fourth that amount he
became an active government sup
porter. His neighbors at first thought
1t must be in the seed. and they paid
him 50 a bushel for all that came
from that acre. Lately he met the
agent again, and in speaking of his
said:
It am now over so years old and
have farmed 40 years, but it is only
two years since I have learned how
to farm"
The demonstration men give me
many stories like this. They show
something of this movement which is
now permeating the south, and which
promises to make it far richer than
ever before.

~ L want TO tell you how Uncle
Sam has saved the cotton
crop Of the nation-how he has kept
his children from bankruptcy and
thereby prevented untold millions Of
human beings at home and abroad
from going in rags. The story is one
that deals not only with the south.
but with our balance of trade. It af-
fects the cotton factories Of New Eng
land as well as those Of Great Britain
and all parts of Europe. It affects the
lifework Of millions of women and
children and the pocketbook OF every
man in the country.
II is the story of a plague greater
than that of the Iocusts which ate up
Pharaoh's Egypt or of the grasshop-
pers which some years ago chewed
the heart OF bleeding Kansas" 1t is
the story Of bug not one-tenth the
size Of a mans finger nail, but which,
uncontrolled. bade fair to scratch pros
perity from the face Of the best states
south Of the line of Mason and Dixon.
It is the story Of the boil weevil and
Of how Uncle Sans army of $1,000
the cotton belt are fighting 1t and
thereby bringing in an era of wealth
the possibilities Of which are beyond
the widest dreams Of that land.
The Realm of King Cotton.
Have you ever thought how mighty
king Cotton is? He as the richest mon
arch on the face of the globe. He has
an aggregate annual income, in raw
material and goods, worth billions Of
dollars. and this is steadily growing in
value. Our own share of the cotton
crop has more than doubled within the
past 20 years and has quadrupled
within the past so. If the present rate
OF increase continues the demand Will
be twice as great within 20 years
more. and by 1850 we shall be asked
