THE SONG OF THE
OLD MOTHER

1 rise in the dawn, and 1 wind and
blow
Till the seeds of the fire flicker and
glow,
And then l must scrub, and bake, and
sweep,
Till the stars are beginning to blink
and peep;
But the young lay long, and dream in
their bed
Of the matching of ribbons, the blue
and the red,
And their day goes over in idleness,
And they sigh if the wind but lift up
a tress;
While I must work, because I am old
And the seed of the fire gets feeble
and cold.

COTTON SEED PRICES

We have observed that the price OF
seed for planting on The farms Is adj
vancing rapidly on account of the war.
Everything the South may have to buy
appears to be advancing In price while
that which we have to sell can't find
market at any price.
This section is facing a cruel con-
dition. One OF the questions discuss
cd at the Cotton Congress at Wash
ington was the very thing OF cotton
seed. The farmer should save
enough seed for his next crop, in fact
the farmer has been advised not to
have his cotton ginhed until he is OBJ
liged to. for 1t appears that the lint
and the seed alike remain In better
condition when not glnned.
There are many unfortunate farm
ers who have to gin early in order to
get money enough to pay FOR the pick
ing and ginning. But we advise that
there is no occasion for slump in the
price Of seed, and to hold on to the
seed as long as they can. S,et: 20
