NOW FOR SMALL GRAIN !

make rood crops in the South the
main crops, and let cotton be the
surplus? rhis thing of must plant
cotton so pay debts is lot of rot
hot air that is costing The South
millions Of dollars every year, and at
the sacrifice Of her Independence.
why will cotton pay debts any better
than corn, or oats, or wheat, or pO-
iItOcS, or any other staple farm pro-
duct? Tie only reason is that we
raise the cotton and neglect the 9th
ers. There is vastly more Of the
southern farmers cotton money that
finds is way to the North and West
to pay for corn and wheat than goes
to pay fertilizer accounts and for
general supplies FOR the year. II does
seem that we should have long since
learned that We can make more
moHCy by raising our own supplies
at homo and making cotton a sur
plus crop. The plan is so old. so Of
ten preached that it is almost thread
bare, and yet it is unhrcdcd by the
Southern farmer.
Another big crop OF cotton will
spell bankruptcy for the South
That much is certain. We have got
to get out of the all-cOtton rut or see
failure staring us in the face.
Now is the time to begin to pre-
pare cor reduced cotton acreage and
increased aCrGaGCS Of corn. wheat
and oats for next year. 1t is folly to
delay, waiting for "somcthing to
turn up and save the present cotton
crop and pave the way for a big crop
next year Certainly every farmer
ought to cut his cotton acreage for
1915 not less than half. Then plant
corn and SOW grain. 1t will be the
farmers salvation.
Speaking along this line an OBJ
server OF the trend Of affairs has
this to say:
1T Is almost useless now to talk
about the past, for it is past and we
will have to suffer the consequences
OF our wrong methods. 1t is not a

then their choice and Mr. Enstrom
can make their decision and every
body can rest assured from Ilie
protection thrown around the con-
testants that their favorlte con-
testant will be protected.
Owing to the fact that Miss
Enstrom's brother had been APP
proachei and he had decided to
accept and act as one of the judges,
before we were aware that Miss
Eustlom had been nominated. we
have decided to let all Of the CON
testants be present when the
ballots are being counted each
week or have a representative
there in their stead. The only
real reason in having the ballots
counted in the presence OF the
Judges only, is because the time
usually taken up bv the good
natured suggestions and comments
of the public eats up too much
time. ii there are any OF our

Special instruction relative to the
prevention and control OF hog cholera
will be given during the course for
farmers at State College, Jan. / to IL.
Farmers will be taught what precau
tions to take in order to prevent the
disease from entering their herds;
and how to prevent the spread of the
disease in case their hogs become af-
flicted. This will include instruction
in the proper methods of isolation
and quarantine.
Special attention will be given to
the disinfecting OF hog and hog quar-
tiers, and the proper disposition Of
cholera carcasses. Due consideration
will be devoted TO the use of serum
and various methods of protecting
healthy and infected herds.
This course should prove most help
ful 10 farmers who raise hogs, ana
should be a means Of reducing the
S3.0O0000 loss of swine in this state
from hog cholera alone. This will
also give farmers an opportunity to
visit the serum plant at the State
College and see frst-hand what pro-
cesses must be effected in the pro-
duction of serum. The course is free
