Don't Plant Any Cotton.

l have read the plans for relieving
The cotton situation, but they do not 90
far enough. Why plant any cotton at
all, when we nave enough already 10
supply the pruspecrive demand for two
years: | know it may sound eNtrava-
gent to talk ab.,ut eliminating an en-
tire cotton crop. but remember these
are war times and call for extraordinary
efforts. To my mind, nothing short of
this will relieve the situation. 1t can
be done better than the reduction and
the effect would be different The re-
duction plan has been tried and failed
50 often that it has become a Joke.
You can't tell what a half crop is, but
anybody knows what MOI crop is. OF
course, if this plan is adopted we would
have to have holding plan that would
protect the farmer against the specula-
tor. Nv idea would be for the farmer
who owed as much as his cotton is
worth to deliver all his cotton to his
principal creditor, with an agreement
that one-half was to be sold to the best
advantage on this years market and
the other half stored and held for the
fall of 1915: to be sold them to best ad-
vantage and proceeds TO belong TO the
farmer, less the Interest and expenses.
On the other hand, the farmer should
bind himself TO plant only provisions
crops fer the year 1915. Of course,
there are some cash rents that would
have to be cared for, but, if this plan is
adopted and the 1915 crop eliminated,
cotton will 6nd purchasers at prices
that will furnish money enough for
this: but, if something is not done. it
will take it all to paw rent where they
rent for standing cash.
realize that to hold half OF the cot
ton it would be necessary TO compress,
but great many well-to-do farmers
would hold their entire crop for 1916
at home when they realized there
would be pone planted in 1915.
Texas should lead with law prohih-
iting co:ton planting, or put licens-s
of $50 per bale on il, paid in advance,
which would be prohibi'ive. This
would do more TO destroy the boil
weevil than anything that has ever
been done. uni wouid raise the price Of
cotton TO fifteen cents in less than thir-
ty days. Then, let all the Southern
States do likewise and you would not
only see demand for cotton but a
rush for it. I know the time is short.
but it can be done. Let the Southern
take it up, let the farmers
talk it and then let the Legislatures
pass. the necessary laws, and we will
soon see the end Of this depression.
Look at the grain farmers and learn a
lesson! They rejoice while we mourn.
Our land will raise criin, so plant
grain and let us get long" on provis-
ions and ''short" Oh cotton, then you
will be prepared 70 live at home
Would also suggest that the same
plan OF "holdipg" apply TO seed as well.

Begin to Raise Hogs IS Experts Advice.

Clemson College, September 14-Spe-
cial: "All are agreed that the So-th.
ern farmer must give immediate and
more attention to diversified farming"
is the statement of r. L Shields, head
OF the division OF animal husbandry
and dairying of Clemson College. "lt
is essential that our farmers grow more
oats, more corn. iegumes, ETC., along
with cotton. Live stock should not be
forgotten in This adjustment. Food
stutfs of ali kinds are rapidly increas-
ing in cost and this is especially true
of meats.
"Why not prepare now for raising .
few hogs? One or two brood Sows with
proper care will give quick and pro6ta-
BILE returns on the small investment
required. A little of pigs can be de
veloped into splendid marketable hogs,
weighing 200 pounds or over at about
10 months Of age. Concentrates, such
as corn, cowpess, soy beans, ETC., are
essential in pork production. However,
grains are expensive. The amount of
concentrates required can be greatly
reduced and better results obtained by
the use Of suitable grazing crops.
dwarf Essex rape is one of the best
winter grazing crops for hogs. Rape
should be sown during September for
early winter grazing. Sow in we'll pre-
pared ground. Stable manure should
be used literally. Sow about six pounds
OF seed per acre. If drilled, four or
Eve pounds per acre are sufficient Un-
der normal conditions the rape will be
ready for grazing within ninety days
and perhaps sooner. One acre of good
rape pasture wiz support, for approx
imately three months, from ten 10 ff-
teen shotes weighing from Is to 100
pounds each at the time they are put
on pasture.
s'One acre OF good grazing crop, such
as rape, has feeding value equal to
that of thirty to fifty bushels of corn
when grain is used with it The graz
ing crop should be used to supplement
corn or other suitable grain. This is
especially necessary with growing pigs.
"The division of animal husbandry
and dairylng of Clemson College will
be glad TO answer questions and furnish
available literature to those interested
IN the subject of live stock and dairy
ing"

This is the first year have had any
thing 10 DO with raising vegetables,
and I have found it very interesting.
from the time the little plants came up
until the time the fruit ripened. But
I think you all will agree with me that
the most interesting time will be when
the cans are full-tho Tomatoes sill
and the money comes in.
l enjoyed being at the canning dem
onstrations held at Trinity and Panola
hope you al have been interested
enough in the work TO become mem
bers again next year. am sure that
we could not fipd a better or more en-
thusiastic organizer in the State than
Miss Richardson. l know we are all
proud OF the work she has done. and
hope she will continue the work in
Clarendon next year.
We have recently had a very pleas
ant visit from her. While here she
told US of the part the Club Girls are

furnish large amount OF vegetable
matter to be ploughed under.
IS. Oats will pave the way for more
live stock in the future.
SEED oats in the Piedmont the last
