4. They are beginning to realize
that there is no sense In killing South
ern grass all summer and buying
Western grass all winter; nor in pay
ing freight and brokers' charges on
Western corn and meat when we can
raise them here without these extra
charges.
5. And especially do they realize
that II doesn't pay both to pay freight
on hay and buy nitrogen in sacks,
when clover, vetch and cowpeas VIII
not only furnish cheap feed. but gath
err fortunes in nitrogen free gratis
from the air above us.
6. They are beginning also to see
that Il Is cheaper to use horse labor
that needs food but not clothing than
human labor which needs both food
and clothing and cheapest OF all to
use maximum Of machinery which
requires neither food nor clothing.
I. They see, too, that the main
question is not how much we make
but how much we keep. and that time
prices and foolish marketing may
keep men poor in spite OF wise pro
duction.
s. And finally they are beginnin1
to realize that just as there Is many
a load which one horse working alone
would never bulge but which severa
horses hitched together pull easily
Just so there is many plan for the
farmers benefit which farmers single
handed can do nothing with, but which
a group OF farmers hitched together
can easily accomplish. - Progressive

NEXT YEARS COTTON CROP.

The greatest danger that confronts
the cotton farmer at this moment is
that next years crop will be sufficient
TO meet the demands OF next year.
II this should turn out TO be true,
with the surplus Of this crop still
on hand. there is little hope that
prices would be better than now. Dis
cussing next years crop, the Calves
ton News very wisely says:
"If the South can convince the
world that II is going TO grow only a
small crop OF cotton next year II will
adopt the most effective means with.
in its power TO solve the problem that
now overshadows II. Establish the
conviction in all minds that next
years acreage VIII be so radically re-
.duced as TO make the crop much less
than normal. even though the reason
should be favorable beyond all expert
ence. and there will have been gen,
Grated a bullIsh influence which will
Immediately enhance the value Of this
years crop. splnners. in that event,
would buy more freely, even in adj
vance OF their requirements for the
present or the immediate future, and
they would be encouraged to pay more
for what they should buy. From that
assurance bankers would get conf
dence and courage. the evident lack
OF which Is the great obstacle TO the
principal application Of the means CIV
en- them to finance this years surplus.
Insure them against even a normal
crop next year and the value OF cotton
as a security for loans will be imme-
diately and markedly enhanced. Not
only would such assurance instil in
the minds Of spinners and spectators
a confidence which would bring them
into the market, and not only would
II give bankers the confidence and In.
centlve TO lend. but II would encour.
age a further impetus to the buy-a.
bale movement, which has possibili.
ties greater than a hasty considera.
tion will disclose"

Only an ignorant man will boast OF
the fact that he has not attended
church In n certain number of years.
We recently heard one man boast OF
his long absence from divine worship
in the presence Of his son.-Trinity
Tribune.
Where a boast OF that character is
made the reflection is not on the
church. There are thousands OF men
who seldom attend religious services
of any kind. but being men OF good
sense and refined feelings they recog.
nize the inestimable value OF the work
which the churches are accomplishing
for the betterment OF society and the
general uplift Of humanity. Who
would rear a family or do business in
community where the influences
which the churches propagate were
entirely lacking without the force
that is exercised on mankind through
the moral suasion OF the churches
their Sunday schools and other auxil
iaries. civilization would suffer q
tragic loss.-State Press.

be thrown open for grazing; killing

In order that every school, and
especially the public schools, may
reach the highest degree of efficiency,
the following suggestion by the Kauf-
man Post is eminently appropriate
now just at the opening of the schools
OF the State: Never criticise the
teachers or disparage their work in
the presence of your children. Every
child should have implicit confidence
in his teacher. and unquestioned obed-
fence should be insisted upon by his
parents. Cooperate with your neigh
bors in giving the schools your active
support. Interest yourself in the work
OF the school improvement club"

the people of Texas yesterday after
noon:
ITO the People OF Texas:
"In view OF the lack Of concerted
action and in order to develop the best
wisdom OF the State in handling the

citizens OF Texas directly or indirectly
interested in cotton to assemble In
their several counties In mass confer

1T is no time for'men to be calcu.
lating upon undue profits. In time
like this commercial or financial arti-
fee practiced by the shrewd and the
strong Is a personal crime and public
treason. The duty OF the hour is for
every man to accommodate himself to
his neighbours needs and for all clti-

resolute effort to sustain the prospect.

Senate Acted on Warehouse Bill.
Copies of this call we're given to the
newspaper men in the afternoon and
as soon as the contents became known
there was a howl Of politics. At this
time the Senate was wrangling over
what method to proceed on the fnal
passage OF the emergency warehouse
bill. which had been passed by bon
Houses and perfected by a free con
ference committee The bill was
finally passed at late hour. Senator:
baltimore and Wiley voted against
the measure on final passage. Senator
Darwin and others who voted for thu
bill had their reasons printed in the
journal.
The so-called Ousley-Williams ware
house bill, which was introduced b!
Senator Gibson. was pushed aside By
the Senate for consideration OF thu
pending oil mill and gin divorcemen

One thing is very noticeable since
the present conditions have been on,
and that is that nearly every wagon
and buggy that comes in from the
country brings bags, boxes, buckets,
pans, etc, full OF something to sell.
Nothing like It was ever seen before.
Chickens, eggs, butter, peas, okra,
pears, potatoes. butter beans and
other things to eat are brought in in
large quantities and a market is found
for all OF II. II is an object lesson to
the farmers as to what can be done,
and will prove to be a great incentive

FARM FOLKS ARE LEARNING.

1. They are beginning to quit
farming by signs of the moon and be.
ginning to farm by sense of the earth.
2. They have quit laying by" by
the time of the year and are beginning
to LAY by" by the condition of the
crop.
3. They no longer buy fertilizer by
the smell of the goods, but are begin
ming to buy 1t for the plant food II
contains.
