In the past fifty years, thousands of

to tell of the benefit received from
Cardui.
Such testimony, from earnest women
surely indicates the great value of this

Fair Ground Graded School.

Dear Editor:-Perhaps there
are some who are interested and
would like to hear how we are
progressing in school at Fair
Ground, or Richmond, and will
let them know how we are get
ting along.
School began here the first OF
September with Prof. ]. r.
Mamblin as principal and the
writer as first assistant, to end
with an eight months term. We
have had very good attendance
but the last month was extra
good. The school here has run
down and has been for some
years but there were IS enrolled,
80 of which came every day of
the month and 90 or more missed
only one day Gncludiug the 30
who came every day..
There is great interest in the
welfare of the school and we can
see promising future to the chill
dren of Richmond if they only
take advantage of the opportuni-
ties that confront them. There
is no doubt but that there will
be some men and women sent
forth from here that Richmond
will be proud to own and the
world will be glad to have their
assistance in spreading the tide
of education. The world today
is calling for men-men of truth.
intelligence and experience, and
we hope to offer in the near fu-
lure boys and girls who will
respond and go forth as men and
women who will lend aid to the
pyogress of the educational world.
We appreciate all encourage
ment that has been given US and
hope in return to train the
youths in this school to high and
aoble purposes that they may
help those who are striving to
soar to the top of the mountain
reach their intentions; we hope
to drop them as pebbles in the
ocean of education who will start
the waves that will spread
throughout the universe and that
will lift the parts that are fallen
TO the climax of existence.
With best wishes to the Jour-
nal and its many readers.

Letter to Ginners.
Memphis, Tenn, Feb. 5, 1912

Memphis, Tenn, Feb. 5, 1912.
To the Ginners:-
Your reports show there
has been ginned Is, 2l8, 900 bales
to night of February LIST. This
is very heavy but many ginners
say large part of it is cotton
that has been picked some time,
even as far back as October.
This indicates a very much larger
crop than our figures in Deem
Der, and the final report will
probably be 100000 or over.
The ginning the first half Of
January was so light that it lead
the European spinners to believe
the crop was not over Is, 500. 900
and for fear there might be a
large reduction in acreage they
bought very freely for the past
two weeks but reports say the
demand is not so good now.
Our reports show there will be
a small reduction in acreage in
some sections, but there will be
a large increase in the boil wee
vii section which will probably
Offset this. With new crop

the farmers claim they can make
from $40 to 500 per bale and
bankers that said in December
they would not advance much to
the planters are now willing to
advance freely, and unless the
price drops very low before the
middle of the month the acreage
for grain will be fixed and it will
be too late to make a change. /
am very sorry this is true for
with the improved methods of
farming increasing each year
(there will be twenty-six govern

acre will gradually increase.

the consumption may go to A.
600. 600, although leading author
tiles say only IS, 100000. yet it
would not all be used this season
but part would go to replenish
depleted stocks from the last
two short crops.
Last October, when | found
the crop was so large, urged
you to advise your farmers to
market as much as possible OF
their cotton before the world
found it out and the market
went down over a cent a pound
and had the government iestl-
mate been as accurate as usual
would have been much lower.
Then the bad weather set in
about the 18th Of December and
until the middle of January very
little cotton was picked or ginned
and the roads got so bad the
farmers could not move If they
wanted too.
urge you now to advise your
farmers to sell their cotton as
fast as possible before the final
census report is issued and the
actual acreage becomes known.
Holding cotton after this is a
losing proposition as it loses in
weight and if not stored in a
good warehouse will country
damage. 1t will take at least 70
per cent reduction in acreage to
bring the next crop down to the
consumption, with the large sur
plus carried over, and don't see
a chance for more than 5 per

cline soon. / find that in place
