A WORD OF CAUTION.

The present price of cotton may
be the cause of some of our farmers
going wild next year and planting
much more of it than they
should. The reason of the rise is due
to the war in Europe. which so
frightened the farmers last year that
they cut down the acreage in cotton
planting the extra land in grain and
grasses. Another contributing fac
tor was that less fertilizers were
used. A right beginning having al
ready been made, it would be pity
for the farmers to be fooled by the
present comparatively high prices
and get back into the same old ruts
again. The present indications are
that less than 100000 bales will
be raised this year, but if another
16,O0O,0O0 bale crop is produced next
year, as was done the past year, cot
ton will go back to six or seven
cents a pound. Now is the time to be
planning for next years operations,
anu lHe WISE farmer Will 90 ike ne
did this time last year, make up his
mind to put in this fall all the grain
and hay crops possible and then
plant what land is left in cotton. He
should also make up his mind to use
a minimum amount of fertilizers and
if possible contract no debts, or il
he is obliged to go in debt on the
next crop, to make it as little as pos
sible. If this plan is carried into
effect for two or three years, there
is not farmer in Lancaster county
who will not be out of debt and a
free man. The fact is In some re-
spects cotton has been a curse to the
Southern farmers. 1t has caused
him to impoverish his land and put
himself almost hopelessly in debt.
Now that he is beginning to see day.
light, it would be pity for him to
wander back into darkness again.

Keep Wheat Money at Home.

Wheat planting time will soon be
here again. We hope, now that the
farmers of the county have once
raised wheat. that the practice will
not be discontinued. No matter
what price cotton may bring, the
people should raise at home all the
-four and meat and everything else
possible that they consume. Let's
keep our wheat money at home here
after.-Bamberg Herald.

Needed Changes.

Keep your mind on the matter of
so changing the method of farming
that you can grow into the habit of
producing at home the things that
will make the farm self-sustaining
and have the opportunity of holding
the surplus cotton for better prices.
You can't do that when you owe the
whole amount of the crop to the per-
son who has been kind enough to
make the advances to you to farm
with.-Kershaw Era.

hardest stone, so will the constant
appearance of an attractive and ,u-

business men is that they advertise
only at long intervals, and then they
wonder results are not greater. 1t Is
