No record was kept Of the eggs eaten.

far from twenty dozen were thus used,
making a total Of 231 dozen eggs pro-
duced. The large hens had but little
time to lay, as we kept them busy

Our Present Situation largely the Re.
suit of Il Onc-CrOp system.

suit of Onc-CrOp System.
The present agricultural troubles
of the South are not due to our crops
soils or climate, but to a faulty sys-
tenn. Such a system has always fail
ed; not so much, however, because
Of over-production, or that all the
eggs have been in one basket, as that
a one-crOp system always means poor
soil and low crop yields.
If we had reasonable assurance
that every acre planted in oats would
produce fifty to sixty bushels, every
acre in corn forty to fifty bushels, and
every acre in cotton a bale of 500
pounds, we could snap our fingers at
six-cent cotton, feeling confident of
prosperity in times of war as we'll as
in times Of peace.
If our present troubles, whatever
hardships they may have in store for
us, lead to a system Of agriculture
which will build up soil fertility, the
sacrifices may not be too great. For
one year, or for even a short term Of
years, cotton must sell for a very low
price, indeed, to make it less attractive
from a purely ready-cash standpoint
than any other crop available; but no
system which does not produce a rich
and productive soil can ever protect
us against times like this.
Any cotton farmer can show beyond
any argument that cotton is the best
money crop for the South. In fact,
he can show with unansverablc fig
ues wherein it will paw to plant cotton
and buy fee ana fo'I supplies 50
long as colt brings eisht 81 tn
cents a pound, hut SERIOUS fact
stands squarcly dEdins. h,s tnc.-y.
We have planted cotton ~. louSt,
supplies and the records show that
during the fifty years we have follow
ed that system our yields have aver
aged about 175 pounds Of cotton, less
than twenty bushels Of corn. and not
over twenty bushels of oats per acre.
And now, when cotton prices make
such a yield, even Of so good a crop
as cotton, Improbable, we are left
stranded, because in following the
one-crop system We are rcaping It's
inevitable consequences in an impover-
ished soil, ignorance of how to make
other crops, and the absence OF es-
tablished markets and marketing sys-
TENS for these crops. If we had a
rich soil VIC could overcome all other
difficulties. No country with q rich
soil. If owned by the men who till it,
is ever in danger of serious hnancia!
or business calamity. - Progressive

The eNnetian singers are three solo,
lists with an accompanist. They are
Italians, and above everything else,
musicians. In Italy music is fine
art in sense that We cannot appre-
ciate. If not regarded with awe and
reverence, at least 1t is regarded with
profound respect.
The Venetian singers embody the
very essence OF the music Of sunny
Italy They will sing at the chautau-
qua some Of the lighter operate pro-
ductions and topical songs of every
character Needless to say their
voices are beautiful. Their singing is
characterized by the fire and dash
that are present in the music Of all
