average Of fifty bushels to the acre for
the entire 25 acres. After gathering
the oats the bottom lands were plant
ed in corn, and the uplands sowed down
| in peas and cane for a hay crop. Mr..
Carroll will secure a yield or nfty
bushels to the acre from his corn and
an average Of two tons OF hay to the
acre. Considering the situation mathe-
matically, allowing approximate mar
ket prices for the products and the
labor Of cultivation, ii will be seen that
he made a clear profit of $72 per aero
on his bottom lands and $3.50 clear on
his uplands ...... Mr.. r. A. Jones has
announced that he will be one OF ten
or one of twenty men to buy one hum
dred bales each on the open market,
paying 10 cents per pound with the
agreement that it is to be kept off the
market until the price Is ten cents or
more. This will take care Of from one
to two thousand bales Of Cherokee
county cotton, and will put from $780,
900 to 100000 in circulation among
the farmers. II this proposition is
carried out, it will be long step to-
wards relieving the local financial
stringency, and Mr.. Jones Is eager to
do his share providing at least nine
other men will do the same. The

Fort Mill Times, Sept. II: One of
the pleasing sights to the farmers of
this community is the big banners
hanging in the show windows Of the
Mills & Young company, bearing the
words Ten Cents For Cotton" The
Mills & Young company realize that
the farmers hereabouts are facing a
crisis through the extremely low price
Of their principal farm product and are
determined to help better conditions.
To this end the firm Is making the very
liberal proposition to take in cotton
at ten cents per pound on all accounts
with the exception Of payment on fer
tilizer notes. And, further, the firm
proposes to allow ten cents for cotton
in exchange for goods from any Of its
several departments. This move on the
part Of the Mills & Young concern Is
being highly praised by the people Of
this section as 1t gives the farmer an
opportunity to settle his obligations
with the firm. as we'll as to lay in his
fall and winter supplies, at a price
for his cotton which will at least COM
pensate him for the production Of the
crop. 80. Information was received in
