ONE FARMERS EXPERIENCE.

Here is a story that carries its own
lesson 50 clegrly that no comment is
necessary. In farmers meeting in
Mississippi not long ago man arose
and said;
IN 1907 owed 5000 on my 100
acre farm; had two ponies, small
plows and wagon The merchants in
my town would not credit me for five
cents because they thought It impos
sible for me to make a living for my
family Of seven children and pay my
debts.
in the spring Of 1907 the local
agent in the demonstration work Wis
tied me and urged me to cultivate one
acre OF cotton under the governments
instructions. He told me he wanted
me to break the land eight inches
deep. of course did not have team
strong enough to break the land this
deep but after talking the matter
over with the agent / decided to bor
row team from my neighbors and
tfy one acre. Before that time | had
Icultivated IL acres of cotton and had
never made over three bales. On the
one acre that | cultivated under the
governments instructions in 1907 /
made a full bale Of cotton This was
an eye-opener to me and ! began to
work in earnest in 1908 and determin-
ed not to stop until ! could make every
acre Of land on my farm produce one
bale Of cotton each year In 1908 |
produced six bales of cotton on my
! twelve acres; in 1909 | produced nine
/ bales OF cotton on the Il acres. ! be.

place. have four fine mules and the
future looks bright ! have one son
and one daughter in college this year
and believe that ! am going to be able
to give all my children a college edu-
cation
At the close OF this talk merchant
arose and testified to the truth Of the
statements, adding: In 1907 ! would
not have credited this man for p plug
of tobacco: now ! would give him
credit for $500 any time that he wants
