CHARGES FARMERS
 ARE INDIFFERENT
Commissioner of Agricul- ture Says Staple Unpro-
 tected by Producer

Montgomery. November 2S.-(Special.) ) That large number of farmers of the state are very indifferent as to protect ing their cotton is the statement of Capt. Reuben F. Kolb, commissioner of agri- culture and industries, who has recently visited several counties in the interest of his department.
 According to Captain kolb he passed a large number of farm houses and saw hundreds of bales of cotton lying on the ground, totally unprotected from the weather. He declares that he saw cot house he passed and expressed surprise that the farmers had not placed their cotton on skids or under sheds.
 "The farmers are hurting themselves by their apparent indifference in the mat ter of protecting their cotton" said Cap tain Kolb. 'I saw hundreds of bales of cotton lying on the ground in fields and in front of farm houses absolutely un- protected from the weather.
 T was greatly surprised to learn that the farmers are going to little trouble to protect their cotton. Of course, they should know that if cotton is allowed to lie on the ground in rainy weather 1t will, after a time, rot. As a conse- quence. a part of the bale will be abso- lutely worthless and the rest will de- teriorate in value. The farmers should provide skids and sheds for their cotton, and hope they will realize the import ance of providing this protection

 Time, space and 4t undertakings are reckoned with calculations. The small wastes each day amount to millions of dol lars a month-a just cause for depression, distress and lost efforts. Just so it is with small undertakings-every minute lost is valuable to some other hour; every penny wasted could be added to some other cause, and careful consideration of these facts will make less tedious prep aration for a. holiday and save, besides, anxiety, mental distress and energies.
 Then think of the merchant, the clerk behind the counter, how you save them labor and standing when you walk up to their counter with some definite purpose. We often go in with the air of i've got so much money, what will you give me for it?' Then go out half mad to another shop because the other clerks do not understand their business. Then. too, Christmas shopping must re- mind you of the significance of the old adage, The early bird catches the worm." Shopping early means a better stock to select from, a fresher, less tired corps of attendants to serve you, a smaller crowd to push through and more time to compare quality and cost; besides. just think of the satisfaction of being ready!
