A poor shoemaker's apprentice was

but no system which does not produce
rich and productive soil can ever
protect us against times like these.
Any cotton farmer can show beyond
any argument that cotton Is the best
money crop for the South. In fact,
he can show with unanswerable fig
ures wherein 1t will pay to plant cot
ton and buy feed and food supplies, so
long as cotton brings eight or ten
cents pound; but a serious fact
stands squarely against his theory. We
have planted cotton and bought sup
plies and the records show that dur.
Ing the 30 years we have followed that
system our yields have averaged It's
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 crop

stranded. because in following the one
crop system we are reaping its inev-

A MONG the coats displayed for wear
- in the depths Of winter, there is
nothing handsomer than those of
black, or very dark brown, fur-cloths
which initiate SO closely the natural
skins after which they are called.
Next to fur they are the warmest OF
garments. The new fur-cloth is not
bulky but possesses the sort Of weav-
Ing that makes for comfort. Lined
with silk and snugly adjusted to the
ngure about the shoulders, neck and
chest, the fur-cloth coat adapts itself
to all degrees Of winter weather.
Not being heavy or bulky, coats of
this fabric, unlike fur, are not too
heavy for moderately cold weather.
