Making Wooden Shoes in This Country.

Officials of the U s. forest ser vice say that large amount of beech wood is now used in tEis country in the manufacture of wooden shoes similar to those in use in Holland. They report that these shoes are rapidly coming into favor -and that the wooden shoe industry is growing apace. A pair of these shoes costs 50 to 70 cents and lasts abous two years. They are well suited for the wear of those employed in cold, wet or hot places and in places where the footwear i subjects d to unusually rough usage. Hitherto such shoes have been imported from Holland. Peo- pie woulin use wooden shaes of course unless they were cheap and durable, as they are hard on the feet.

Crop Mortgages and the Credit System.

One of the blighting influences upon farming in this State for a great many years in the past has been the credit system with the crop mortgage accompaniment The furnishing or credit merchant is not blamable. He supplies Q de nand. In reality the crop mort gage is more responsible for the system than anything else, and It is the system after all that is hurt ful. The credit merchant who sells goods on credit and depends upon the outcome of the crop and the product of the labor of the costuner and his family. frequently i. not always. takes the risk on the weather, on the crop conditions. the final yield, and all the misfor- tunes d adversities incident to the making of a crop, including the sickness that may prevail. Nec- essarily he charges big profit, TOT he does not know how much of the accounts he will have to lose on aeeo. ht of the customers failing to make enough to pay up in the fall. He must charge enough profit so that after losing part he will have enough to make him whole from those who are able and do pay. Otherwise he would fail. as many do anyway.
 Thus it will be seen that the successful costumers of a furnish merchant who are able to pay their accounts in full must pay profit large enough to include the loss Of account of those who do not pay. ltis manife8tly hard for any farmer to make a success, or even any thing more than a meager living and pay the high prices, big profits and high rate of interest on his supplies that is required by the credit or crop mortgage system. and it is safe 70 say not many do make more than bear living, that way.
 Under the crop mortg ge system the farmer cannot farm as he likes. He is forced by the terms of the mortgage to plant certain amount to cotton whether he wants to or not. He cannot raise crops accorc- ing to his own judgement, but mu t do his farming according to the terms of the mortgage, and plant a sufficient acreage to cotton to give some assurance of paving his accouct from that source.
 l hope the farmers will help their brother farmers who are held down by the crop mortgage system to wean themselves. or free them selves from it. Some need to be freed, while others need to be weaned from it. Now is the time to break away from the system. Make up your mind to undergo any hardship endurable to get free from it next year. The first of January or soon thereafter will be time to make arrangements for next year. Try and make some other arrange ments. Cultivate less land, or make some different arrangements so that you vii get away from the credit system, You can never succeed underlit. It is blight on southern farming. and hope to see the d " come when there will be ID furnishing business and no cr p mort2ag ge to sustain it. The mer- chants as well as the farmers will be better off, and it will mean much to the State.
 Yours very truly
