Raise More Cattle.

We complain about the high cost of living without going to the foundation of the trouble.
 If proper attention was given to the farm there would be a difference in existing conditions.
 Boys of the farm are attracted by the lure of the city lights and desert the fields for the less profitable opportunities offered in the city.
 Some succeed. some win, but most of them fail. The chances are limited in the city. It is a sort of lottery in which all take a chance. but only occasionally is the sought-for prize won.
 The farm offers freedom to all who will stick to it and appreci- ate the soil as 1t should be a, : pfeclased.
 We talk of prosecuting the neat trust. We complain of the oppressive prices that the beef barons impose, but We do not stop to consider that we could be independent if we but applied ourselves in the right direction.
 The present market conditions are an ample evidence of this. Vegetables arc higher this year ti'an lheg Lave i5ecn sI. ce the var. There Is It ason tor this. We do tot pay tie alter tion to the garden that should be paid. Tomaios s are higher this week

will be still higher next week. Butter beans are sold at prohibi. tive prices. Potatoes are bring. ing premium prices.
 We are depending on Cuba for much of our necessary food. The melon crop is far short of what it should be and there IS a general scarcity of food products.
 If every man who is interested in the price conditions of the country would encourage those on the farm to remain there and the boyswho come to the city to return to the farm things would be different.
 The fields of Argentina are fat with grass for cattle raising and beef can be delivered on the hoof in New York cheaper than it can be purchased in the graz ing grounds of the west, but it must be remembered that scarce ly 50 per cent of the cattle nsc- essary for public consumption is raised in this country.
 To overcome the shortage the packers are importing beef. President Jones of the Chicago Live Stock Exchange, calls upon congress and the state legisla- lures to do something to en- courage cattle raising. He as- serts that the industry has been practically abandoned in the corn growing states. This is singular logic. but if it is true the people have only themselves to blame for present prices of meat. r Commercial Appeal.

On tle Mississippi river cutting has been done on rice that sur vived the high water. but this iS only small part of the river crop. which is very late. Some cutting has been done on the Techc and in the vicinity ot Rayne and Eunice, in Louisiana, and a little harvesting has been done west of Houston, but only small parcels of roIga have reached the market. The har- vest of the main crop will not be in full swing for several weeks, as the average rice is now no more than beginning to head, while d very coasi lerable per- centage is not nearly that far advance l.
 The 1912 rice crop now ranges all the way from rice few inches high to rice in the shock and even to ric. threshed, and 1t Is ap parent that the harvesting and tnreshing season is likely to be long drawn ouC, eve if the weather IS entire.y favorable.
 While d nigh range of values for rough rice on the opening market is general forecast 1t Is too early to predict what the market will be whel it has reached it's tull swing. Inquiries on the poi ilt are met by the Southern Rice Growers Associa- kion with the reply that the board of directors has not for mally discussed the matter of opening price, and l. is believed that the Association will not es- tablisl minimums until the mar ket settles down. unless an early break downward in prices should develop.
 Reports from association agents at all points indicate generally favorable cr,p condi- tions. although lack of rain has been felt in some districts.

The Southern Rice Growers Association expects to have samples of new crop on it's table by the 20th. As the market bids fair to open at a very high level, it is unlikely that the As- sociation will be called on to fix minimums until the market shows signs of settling to a per- manent basis.

 Cold north winds retarded the growth of rice early in the sea- son, and the hot, dry north winds of July and August have in- creased the evaporation and added to the work of the pumps. This condition has been unfortu- nate for districts like Bay City, where water available for irri- gation has run short.
 The rice production of Mexico in 1910 was about one-ffth that of the United States. Political troubles in Mexico have some what curtailed the acreage re- gently. The United States has imported large quantities of rough rice from Mexico for seed. Mexican rice is a good quality of Honduras.
 The American rice crop has seldom been as uneven in the field as it is this year. It is not unusual to see two fields, side by side, one of them containing an unusually fine stand of rice and the other containing rice that ap- pearantly stands small chance of reaching maturity.
 The Japanese government has utterly failed in its efforts to check the manipulation of the Japanese rice market by the spectators who cornered the last crop and ran prices up to au unprecedented figure. The gov ernment is now distributing Ran- goon rice to the poorer people of Japan at cost. It is said that Japan will again this year be g heavier importer than usual o1 rice for food.

this.
About a dozen property owners,
