What's Best,

There is many a rest in the road of
life.
If we only would stop to take it;
And many tone from the better land,
If the querulous heart would wakeit.
To the sunny soul that is full of hope
And whose beautiful trust ne 'er faileth,
The grass is green and the flowers are
bright,
Though the wintry storm prevaileth.
Better to hope, though the clouds hang
low,
And to keep the eyes well lifted;
For the sweet blue sky will soon peep
through
When the omnous clouds are rifted.
There was never a night without day,
Or an evening without morning;
And the darkest hour, as the proverb
goes,
Is the hour before the dawning.
| like the man who faces what he must
With step triumphant and heart of
cheer;
Who fights the daily battle without
fear.
Sees his hopes fall, yet keeps unfalter-
ing trust
That God is God; that, somehow, true
and just,
His plans work out for mortals.

A WORD OF WARNING.
c Commissioner Of Agriculture
E. J. Watson Urges Far
mers Not to Increase Cot
ton Acreage.
To the Farmers of the South:


The cotton growers of the South
have passed through two Of the
most trying years in the history of
cotton. At this time last year
those who have been in the fore
front of the fight to maintain a
living price for the cotton against
abnormal conditions, made possible
by American and foreign market
methods. which as vet are permitted
10 exist, We're bending every energy
10 bring about a reduction Of acre
age, or at least to prevent an in
crease of acreage. Conditions, fol-
lowing the huge crop of 1911, and
hard work made this possible. The
price on the crop just harvested
was kept steady.
A more serious situation con-
fronts you now and hence this word
Of warning. With the price of the
1912 crop remaining fairly good
and steady all the season through,
the argument of the manipulators
will be that the cotton farmer of
the South will yield to temptation
and do as he has done hundreds Of
times before-plant more acreage
to cotton, on the assumption that
the price will stay up: This expec-
tation you have justified in the past
and it will he used from the start.
Under present laws and establish
ed methods, tho the world demand
be for crops possibly larger than
1880, 900 bales, want To- say to
you it will he suicidal to increase
your acreage. 1t is more impor-
tant to mold yourself and your
acreage in check this year than ever
before.
The planting, season is upon US
new; stop aGd lhik fora day or
two before you listen to the siren
song of l3 cents. The danger to
YOU and yoursis greater by far than
last year. If You must have a
large acreage on your farm, put
the increase in corn, and other food
crops. As one who has striven to
aid you in the hour Of need, and
has been faithful to the trust i'm.
posed in him, let NE entreat YOU to
hold your acreage down and prove
to the world that you are not oblie-
ed 10 rush and do what every cot
ton broker in New York, Liverpool
AMI elsewhere expects YOU to do
for Hour own nndoins and the en-
ricEmeut Of others.
IL this State | have endeavored
TO Get the General Assembly To en-
act cotton satisfies gathering
law that will force facts on the
world when they should be there
not when it is too late; this meas
ure. which would aid in some de-
gree, is not yet 4 law. Oklahoma
has it, and your organiza-
tions have all asked for it in every
cotton State.
Again let me beg of You to watch
your acreage, and let good sense
instead Of lack of ind Ement guide
YOU in the planting o! Your crop
this year. If you d~n't yon face
in the fall situation that may be
the most serious you have ever
faced.
If yuu don't do your part now,
don't say then that von were not
warned.
