WHEAT RAISING
 SOLVES PROBLEM
Of South Al This Time When Necessity of Crop Diyersifica-

Concerted action in getting a. way from the one crop basis, the necessity of reducing the cotton acreage and the sugges- tion of wheat raising as cash crop are the three strong argu- ments made by c. R. Pate, man. ager of the Valley Commission Company, who has given the subject much investigation and study, whose paper read to the recent county convention, is re- produced below:

gether and do the thing best for the welfare of all.
 We have remedy that we think is right; still if we are convinced that there is bet ter one, we are willing to get in the game that will rebound to our mutual good. And what We want is to get every indi- vidual interested in banking, merchandising and farming to apply himself to the cause of crop diversification, because now is the opportune time to effect the proposition that the gov ernment and every other sensi- ble individual has been agitat- ing.
 Our remedy-In as much as money is the monarch of ex- change and about our only rec ognized standard value, wheat is the quickest and most profit able crop that we can arrange for. With the sowing of wheat we substantiate what we tell the cotton factor sooner than if we waited till spring to put in a corn crop or other crops, which might have the effect of getting better and quicker mon- ey cut of our cotton that we have on hands already.
 We admit that wheat is an ex- pertinent, but any money crop is an experiment, that amounts to the same thing.
 When we plant our cotton crop I've do not know what we are go- ing to get for it in dollars and cents. So, therefore, we have no more chances in planting or sowing wheat than we do our naturalized cotton crop. We do know that our land will grow wheat, and we further know that we are assured better than the ordinary price for it. Un- derstand that we do not advo- cate the wholesale sowing of this grain, but we do want to get the people to put in enough 1 of it. that it will warrant the buying of machinery to harvest in due season. We have the ad- vantage in sowing wheat by knowing in the spring in plenty of time to plant other crops should it be failure.
 i The minister of agriculture in the Dominion is calculating with the farmers of that country to place two times that amount of l wheat that was sown last year, on account of the European growers being in the war, and figure that there will be very little grown in these countries.

 What can our local factors do? Nothing, but wait for him to get his sentiment created that conditions are just like he wants them. Then buy at such a price as will make his investment in dollars and cents equal to his customary investment and at the same time get two times the amount of cotton. The figures that they make are plainly visi- ble and still we persist in letting them use us year in and year out.
 You say, Give us a remedy" and expect that remedy to take immediate effect. Now, there is no immediate relief. The only way to accomplish a thing and that purpose to be right is and has to be natural. Time and time only will materialize us an advantage and we must have pa- tience.
 1 What do we expect to accom- plish by planting another crop of cotton? Have our farmers realized that their dependency for nert year amounts to diff ferent thing to what it did this :? Will your merchant and banker take you on the same terms that he furnished you for the past number of decades? Do you expect this? Why should you want him to look after your interests when his own are jeop- ardized to an extent already that he is ultimately lost if you persist in planting cotton.
 Who is involved in this disas- ter? There is a remedy, and that remedy will help the whole South. Can you see it? If you have your very existence taken from you, will it put you to studying your own welfare? Even our bankers are prone to get away from the cotton grow ing game, and we do not see why they would not as soon finance one crop as another. They also are realizing the necessity of better management in our agri- cultural system. For us all to realize an advantage we have got to get into the harness and pull together. One man cannot do what it takes the whole com to do.
 We must realize that concert ed action will in the end amount to our substantial recovery from this terrific blow. And do not think that by playing a waiting game you are going to get the rest of our South to do the nec- we as a whole are es- the same cause and now is the time to act. The man who pulls back should be boy cotted by the rest of the com upon which he is depend ent for his part of this earth's

Ashamed of His Crutches

Argemone never dreamed of exciting
Lancelot's admiration, even friendship,
for herself She would have started as
from a snake had it been whispered to
her that which the reader can plainly
forsee-that Lancelot Smith would fall
in love- not with some one of his many
theories, but with Argemone Laving-
ton.
Lancelot, in the meantime, rather
avoided Argemone. Whether he was
ashamed of the crutches upon which
he hobbled about or was afraid of the
Intellectual girl it was hard to say.
Any way, he slipped away and went
down to the sheet of water called the
Nuns Pool to smoke and fish and build
castles in the air.
AS Lancelot fished he heard a voice
from the little footbridge which ran
across the stream just where it en-
tered the pool and looking up, saw
Argemone and Honoria escorted by
Colonel Bracebridge and accompanied
by a tame gazelle, a present from the
colonel to Argemone, and a certain
miserable cur of Honoria's adoption.
Honoria had rescued it from a watery
death in the village pond by means
of the colonel, who had revenged him.

What Is Time to Spirits?

The fox and the hunt swept on.
Lancelot drew rein, and as he did so
the form of a beautiful young woman
appeared upon the church porch.

In a half-freightened way. she stopped

gazed but a moment at each other-but
what is time to spirits? With them,
with their father, "A day is a thousand
years"
But that "eye- wedloclS" was cut short
by the conduct of Lancelot's horse, which
showed a general impatence of it's mas
ter's dilatory conduct and Smith, giving
him rein. dashed madly up the hill.
what an ugly face!" said Argemone
Lavington to herself-for it was the old
squire's daughter-but how clever-and
so unhappy"
1t was some hours after that when
there came a crash through the palinss
of the squire's park and Lancelot Smith
and his horse went down in a heap.
The beast had taken the bit and, mad
dened by his owners unskilful riding,
had brought his own llfe-and very
nearly that of his master-to an end.

Beginning to Understand

When Lancelot came to himself he was
lying in bed with many bandages around
him, while over him bent the face of
Colonel Braeebridge.
He hated Bracebridge now The colonel
had seen his inaptitude and his downfall.
Why should this Bracebridge be so su-
perior to him in all things.
What a strange pair we are." said
the colonel. You hate me like poison
and l like you. Smith,
"I-I-I-no, no." began Lancelot, II
am very foolish, very ungrateful But
l do hate you, colonel. And tell me
why?"
The colonel laughed and said Give
me your hand, Lanceot now we shall
know each other better
The colonel gripped the invalids hand
close, arose and went and looked out
of the window. There was a look of
terrible earnestness upon the coloners
face. From that day, however, there
was a more cordial understanding be-
tween the two men.

Sympathy in all Suffering

Then the time came when Lancelot was
able to go downstairs and join the fam
lily at meals.
There was Mrs. Lavngton, naughty,
calculating, up-to-date, planning-like all
mothers-for the marriage of her daugh-
ters, and Sizing them up

busted herself among the poor, daily Civ
mig the lie to the old calumny that "hc-

sorrow.
In the course of Lancelot's first even

alone with Argemone at an open window.

sheet lightning showers on the horizon
above the dark woodlands.

in the kitchen making all sorts of in
valid foods for the young hunter. And
she would bring them to him and see
that he ate them-whether he felt like
