Cotton Crop Conditions.

The Times Democrat herewith h
presents ITS correspondents re-
port ON the cotton crop for the
month OLA ugust. The CONSENSUS
of opinion Us to the follwing ef
feet:
l. Taking the Belt as a whole

teriOration. Indeed, ii may l.
doubted whether any other cot
ton crop has within recent years
suffered so great a change with
in so short "a time.
2. This deterioration is due 40
various causes-drought in some
sections and excessive rains in
others-while boil weevils and
caterpillars have done their part
to alter the outlook.
3. Texas correspondents say
that the sitautiOn may be some
what improved by the rains OF
which fell in the last days OF
August, but that 1T is too soon
TO estimate the benefit.
f. Farmers seem disposed 10
hold where they can. in the be

picking appears to be adequate

you were able ito buy the high
est priced animals in your state,
unless You had an interest in and
feeling for them, they would not
retain their good looks and their
usefulness. 1t takes good care
and good feeding to make good
animals, or to keep them good ;
and the boy who expects TO be
stOckman cannot begin too
early to find out about the stock
on his farm, to learn how TO
feed them, the sort of care they
need, what thy like and dislike,
and all such things. One who
is not kind TO his animals will
not make a success with them.
Live stock farming is the
highest type of farming the one
calling for the most care ON the
part of the farmer, and the one
yielding the greatest returns. 1t
is very unfortunate that it has
been 80 neglected in the South.
for there is crtainly no better
place for it. Therefore, we are
making this appeal to the boys
who have ambition and energy
and who expect to do the very
best work and get the very best
rewards, that they begin early
in hfe to learn all they can "a
bout farm animals and how TO
care for them. No line of farm
work will pay them better.-The

The Highest Type Of Farming
Why Not Prepare Yourself
For il.

This is a Young Peoples Spec
cial, but since the young people
of today will De the grown up
people of tomorrow, we feel that
we can not do a BETTER thing
for our Progressive Farmer boys,
than to call thei attention to one
line Of farming which has been
all too generally neglected throu-
gh the South. We refer TO live
stock raising.
OF cOurs, all farms have
more or less live stock on them !;
hut what we mean Hs this: Most
farmers In the South do not keep
as many farm animals as they
should; they do not keep ami
mals of the best quality, and
they do not care and look after
and love their animals as they
should.
Too many farmers think that
they need no other stock than
the mules they must have to
tltII a CO" VI tNo
TO furnish milk, two orthree hogs
to kill and little flock of
poultry. Now, we believe that
this is a wrong idea Let us tell
you why.
In the first place you know
you must have good land If you
make good crops. Well, it is IA
matter of common Experience
fact proved too often to be sue
cessfully questiOned-that it is
easier to keep Land good, or to
make it good, when IA large part
of the crops is fed to the live
stock than when they are sold
off. If You feed your grain and
hay to cattle, and sell the milk
and butter, you take less from
your land than ii you sold the
hay and grain.
Again, if you raise cotton to
sell to buy meat and lard, your
only chance to get profit is
on the cotton. You must pay a
profit to the man who raised tn
hog, to the man who killed it,
too all the men who handled it,
before you bought it. When you
raise the hog yourself you get
all these profits yourself.
Once, again if you have plenty
Of work stock, You can do better
farm work and do it easier and
quicker than if you Lack team
force. 1t is cheapest to pillow with
three horses than with one
Other reasons might be given
why more live stock are needed
on Southern farms, but thes will
be enough. When the boys who
read this grow up and begin to
farming for themselves we want
them to remember this on point +:
The farmer who keeps plenty OF
good live stock can dO work cas-
ier and better, can get bigger
profit out of the crop he grows,
and can improve his land at a
much less expense than cam the
man who does not.
Remember this though: Even il
