AROUND ABOUT THE FARM.

The boil weevil isn't just talk any
longer but stern reality; we ignored it
as long as possible; we couldn't really
believe that our crops would be de-
stroyed, true weather conditions have
added to the destruction, but the little
pests have gotten what was left.
When we look arcoss the green fields
of growing stalks reaching skyward
in brave effort to respond to lavish
expenditure of fertilizng and hard
work, we know there is no fruit under
the broad leaves, that King cotton has
been dethroned. Other rivals will
necessarily come and our Southland
will no longer be land of cotton but
of corn, sugar cane, peas, potatoes,
in fact almost every vegetation known
to man can be grown on our rich farm
lands. We will have hard times for a
while; we will have to do without
many of the things that were once
luXuries, now almost necessities. AS
families we will practice self-denial,
will work together for common in
terest and love each oher better tor
the effort. We will feel more interest
ed in our neighborhood and county.
Money that has been spent lavislhy
and frequently, not wisely, will be
placed in way to give best returns in
county and state, the dollars so hard
to earn will increase in value. In our
childhood days we passed through the
times of reconstruction, and remember
the tales the old darkies told-more
fascinating than all the fairy books
of how "ol Mis- managed durin' de
