Bio Increase Is Seen in Winter and
Spring Wheat Yields, as Well as
Corn, Oats and Hay.

The winter wheat crop is placed at
455 $4,000 bushels, as against 464,
044 900 bushels last year. The spring
wheat crop is placed at 209, 645. 200
bushels. as against 31,399,000 bush
els in 1910.
The corn crop will be very short
The crop is estimated at 2,620,221 00(
bushels, as against yield of 3,125,
$4,000 bushels one year ago. The
estimate at present Is that the total
crop of corn will not much, If any
exceed 2,250000,000 bushels.
The oat crop of the country is es
timated at S17,50O,OOO bushels OF
about 3OO,O0O,000 bushels less than
was harvested last year.
The hay crop is very short. Prob
ably not more than 60 per cent. Of
average crop will be harvested.
The peanut crop is light The stand
was poor and the long continued dry
ness of the soil in many sections was
against the making of peanuts.
Much less land has beeh planted in
cowpeas and cowpea meadows. The
dry weather in the spring prevented
the planting of peas.
We have been complaining about
the high cost of living. From the
above reports we are forced to con
clude that there is not likely to be
any material change for the better
soon.
Let us give our gardens, poultry
cattle, hogs, and other livestock the
very best attention. Let us live al
home and have some high-priced farm
products for sale.

in the corn we can always follow the

here comes the necessity for our sec

more than just rotate for cotton and

adapted to the production of these
plants it has been suggested that fer

tility could be maintained by planting
every third year in cotton, then run
two years to corn, planting between
the rows each year some fertiliNng
plant like cowpeas. crimson clover, or
rye and vetch. This would restore the
fertility to such an extent that we
would probably get as much cotton
out of the crop planted once in three
years as we now get out of the crop in
two years. Some farmers may be able
to take longer rotation. If so, they
are wise farmers who do this. A four
year rotation is an excellent plan
where cotton is planted only once dur
ing the period, corn twice and cow
peas and oats once. Other rotations
will suggest themselves according to
conditions. Ultimately in cotton pro-
duction the successful planter must
establish a rotation which includes
some pasture or demonstrating leg

weeds. One of the most damaging

damage is caused by foul lands as by
the local boil weevil. However, we
can never expect to reduce this condi-
ton very much or eliminate weeds
and grass until our highways and
fence corners are kept free from
weeds which distribute seed on every
hand. Sooner or later We shall be
compelled to make way on weeds.

Gus DECLINE TO PUT A BOY
coTT ON THE BEEF TRUST,
BUT DEMAND BEEF.

Following a recent attempt to lure
the animals of the Adam Forepaugh
and Sells Brothers United Shows, into
Joining the beef trust boycott and ac-
custom them to a vegetarian diet, an
experiment was made by the animal
keepers to learn how animals of
circus zoo would take to dog biscuits
and vegetables instead of meat.
The report of the animal keepers
was anything but favorable, and the
butcher who has been supplying the
meat to the beasts will not lose any
customers. Armed with a large sup
ply of cabbages, carrots, celery and
onions, besides a liberal portion of dog
biscuit one of the assistants of the
Forepaugh and Sells Brothers circus
approach the lion cage and tried the
new food on the inmates. None would
deign even to come from its shelf to
Investigate the novel dinner. The
animals, accustomed to roaming the
prairies in search of some tender lamb
strayed from the flock, only shifted at
the food and then walked off with an
air of disgust, much disappointed with
the offering.
It was concluded that II the car
nivorous animals were to be kept
alive they must be supplied with meat
raw, fresh meat, direct from the
butcher shop. Nothing but that will
satisfy them. The beef trust thus
puts one over.
Bessie and Tessie, the famous Ger
man lioness twin cubs, arrived from
Germany recently and Joined the Adam

daily public receptions.

trainer. Through a series of reverses
Mallory has been compelled to seek q

time when General Milroy occupied
the Shandoah valley. Milroy was
hated by the people of that section
for the reason that his soldiers COM
mitted more depredations than any
other command in the army.
One day the home of a respectable
family was invaded by three drunken
soldiers, who among other vile things
they did, attempted to desecrate a
Confederate flag, which adorned q pic
ture of the lady's deceased husband.
She attempted to defend it against
the miscreants with her late husbands
sword, when at the moment a Union
officer rushed in, kicked out the brutal
soldiers and restored the tnsulted flag.
BY doing this, he won the admiration
OF the lady and her beautiful daughter.
In revengeful spirits, the soldiers
traitorously gave information to the
southern camp which brought a host
of Confederates on the scene. Their
leader was not liked by either of the
ladies of the household. In the pres
ence Of the Union officer, the young
daughter was given the alternative of
marrying the Confederate leader or
seeing the Union officer shot in an
hour.
