These forty farmers planted a total
Of 1905 acres TO cotton in 1914. For
1915 they will plant only SIG. This
is reduction Of 46 per cent.
These forty farms viii grow for
next year a total OF 7S7 acres OF corn
149 acres of peas, 51s acres OF Sudan
grass, 60 acres Of peanuts. 81 acres
OF potatoes, 9 acres OF tomatoes, 4t
acres Of sorghum.
II is probable that other diversified
crops will be arranged for later in the
season.
In addition to increased feed crops
these forty farmers are planning t.
raise their own meat and few fat
hogs for market. Also on each Of
these farms poultry will receive in
creased care and attention.
This plan will enable these farmers
to practically live at home" so that
the cotton they produce next season
win not be distressed"

WEST TEXAS WANTS
COTTON PlcKERs
fRy Associated pressA

Austin, Tex, Nov. A. There is
actually demand for farm labor,
especially cotton plckers. in certain
portions Of Central.West Texas, &C.
cording to J. W. Neil, State director
of farmers Institutes, under the De-
partment of Agriculture, who has Just
returned from a lecturing tour In that
section of the State He says that
with the advent Of the European war,
which precipitated a sharp decline
in cotton prices, and which crippled
the farmers, many tenant farmers
and laborers deserted farms because
of inability to get cash for their work.
Since the market began showing a
healthier tone, Mr.. Neill says, farm.
ers have been selling cotton close to
eight cents pound, but their farm
hands have left the country. In Has.
kell County last week, he says, he
saw two carloads Of negro pickers
being brought in.

Unless our farmers are perfectly
organized on acreage. time OF plant
ing, etc, II will be next to useless to
attempt to raise diversified crops for
market. A market for these products
must be found outside Of Bryan and
there must be perfect organization
so that all will be ready at the same
time that they may be shipped in
large quantities. Organization is the
first step. This has no reference to
diversified products for home con-
sumption. All should grow enough
for home use whether they sell a dol.
lars worth or not.

WHY IT PAYS TO
BUY GOOD GOODS

In the current issue Of Farm and
Fireside, d. S. Burch, associate edi-
tor of that publication, writes a most
interesting article on junk piles,
showing how a careful examination
OF them reveals the fact that II pays
to buy good goods, He recently ex-
amined a junk pile on a Wisconsin
farm and found II a monument Of poor
judgment OF buying. II was made up
OF four classes OF articles. which he
enumerates and comments on in part
as follows;
Il. Good merchandise that had
been worn out, 10 per cent.
"2. Good or fairly good merchan-
disc that had been poorly taken care
o.. 10 per cent.
"3. Merchandise apparently used
only a short time and discarded as
useless, 40 per cent
"a. Small articles of trivial nature
that had been bought on an impulse,
apparently because they were cheap
or would do for the purpose 40 per
cent.
Junk piles seem to show that the
buying public is less skillful in get
ting service out of cheap articles than
from the better grade. Stated differ
emily, only an expert Judge Of values
can make a practice of buying cheap
goods and save money by doing IT,

ADVERTISING BUILDS BUSINESS

A Chicago restaurant man, back in
1911, was so pestered by advertising
solicitors that finally he agreed to
spend 5000 for a months advertising
in the Chicago papers with the guar
antee that II he didn't get results the
advertising solicitors would let him
alone. IF It helps business" he said,
I'VE will lay out a regular campaign"
And he added, But ! don't think II
will" But II did. The restaurant
mans business for the month showed
gain OF many times the 5000. The
advertising was kept up and the
crowds kept coming. The result OF
the advertising campaign was that
this restaurant man has put in sixty.
eight additional restaurants during
the three years and is preparing to
add forty more. The most persistent
argument any advertising solicitor
has TO overcome is the UNMARRIED
statement, Eyes, | know advertising
helps some businesses, but It will not
help mine That's what the Chicago
restaurant man declared time and
time again. and doubtless he thought
so. But, after trial, he doesn't think
so any longer. AS a mater Of fact,
there isn't any business that adver-
Using will not help. And of all the

ing repairs. According to j. J.
Spurgeon, one of the passengers,
this report is current in Liverpool
and is accepted as true, although
the same secrecy is maintained as to
salvage operations as was the case
regarding the sinking of the battle
ship and the attendant rescue Of her
men by the steamship Olympic.
The report is that the Audacious
did not sink in the spot where she
was left by the Olympic, but that
other vessels succeeded in drawing
her into shallow water, where the
hole in her bottom was patched suf'
fciently to permit her to be towed
to Belfast.
