LESS COTTON ACREAGE
Cotton Growers viii Profit By
Severe Lesson.
Up TO individual Farmer 10 Decide
What Crops Can Be Grown Most
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Preach
Doctrine Of DIversiflcation.

Indications are that the farmers OF
the cotton-growing states have proited
by the severe lesson that has been
taught them by the failure OF the cot
ton market, and there win be great
decrease in the cotton acreage. The
next serious problem that coDfronts
the southern farmer Ii, What shall
plant In the place Of cottonT oN
The unanimous advice OF agricul-
tural experts Is for the raising OF
more food crops. grain and live stock.
The more popular OF these crops are
wheat oats and alfalfa. Other profit
able crops suggested are pea vine,
sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes, COW
peas, corn. sugar cane. sorghum. vel
vet bean, clover. rye. tobacco. figs,
strawberries and peanuts.
Soil and climatic conditions have
much to do With deciding what should
be raised In the place Of cotton. In
some portions OF the South wheat can
be raised prontably. while in others It
would be labor lost. The qualifications
Of the farmer to raise the different
crops also enters into tie question for,
while one farmer may be successfui
with garden truck another in the same
neighborhood may make failure Of
The same crop, but would be success
ful with grains. In the end, It is
really up TO the individual farmer to
decide what crops can be grown most
successfully on his farm and what
crops he is the better qualified to
grow. s-r
Doctrine Of pIversificatiens
For a number Of years the agricul-i
tural experts OF the cotton-growing
states have been preaching the doc
trine ,of diversified crops. They have
been successful to a certain extent.
Cotton has been the chief staple OF the
South for great many years and 1t is
difficult for the average cotton planter
to get away, even partly. from the
crop that has been the breadwinner
for many generations.
Another thing that is to be taken In
to consideration is the fact that many
Of the cotton farmers know practically
nothing Of growing other crops. It
will not be an easy matter for these
farmers to give up crop that they
have become the most expert in the
world in raising for other crops OF
which they know little or nothing
about.

Corset Pocket.

One rarely knows just what to do
with q corset when it is not being
worn. There is, of course, the en-
broidered linen bag, scented and be-
ribboned, for ones very best corset.
But what is to be done with the morn
ing corset? Perhaps you roll it up
and shove it in the bottom drawer of
a bureau, thereby mussing carefully
ironed waist? Here is an idea which
l hope you will like as well as l do:
Take a piece of cretonne, four inches
longer than the length of your corset,
and, after folding under an inch all
around, tack it on the INSIDE Of your
closet door. Put the tacks about two
inches apart-brass-headed ones will
do nicely-down the length and across
the bottom of the cretonne, leaving
the top open. The corset SHOULD be
rolled up to be put in the pocket.

French Porcelain Figures Have Come
Into General Use, and Are Ex-

A graceful boudoir lamp Utilities one
of the dainty French porcelain figures
that have made a place for themselves
lately. The lamp stands about ten
inches high. The stem of the lamp Is
of dull brass and the shade is of rose
eolored silk. Through the stem runs
an electric wire to the bulb which
gives light under the shade.
Under the shade sits the graceful
porcelain figure. She is dressed like
a medieval queen, with q small veil OF
tulle bound about her head by a jew
eled gilt-lace band. Her dress IL made
of crimson silk. much trimmed with
lace and tiny flowers and gold lace.
And a mantle of crimson velvet, lined
with blue. is draped over the back OF
the chair she sits On. A porcelain dog
is fawning beside her.
The little group is really charming.
In fact, all the small porcelain figures
are charming. Their real hair is ar
