The truth is that the time ha>
come, all over the Sorth, on ever,
farm, an III every year, when th'
farmer who would succeed must
first of all, make his primary
business that of feeding his fam
lily and building up his soil fer
tility. just as surely as we loos

with common sense, armed WITT

eys of cheap cotton and hatH

On the other hand, there Is tn

pecting, with limited capital a.
a still more limited knowledge
the business, to convert in Zone
year a rundown cotton farm into
a paying stock farm or truck
farmland which may prove even
more disastrous than the exclu-
sive production of cotton. Live
stock production is a splendid
line Of farming and a great bu.'
mess, but it is idle to expect an
overnight transition from all-co4
ton to all-cattle. Rather We
must first meet the home demand
for pork, beef. milk and butter,
enlarging our production as we
grow in experience and knowl
edge. In the same way, fruit
and vegetable production may be
made profitable when rightly
handled, but who will deny that
our first, biggest and most profit
able job lies in supplying our own
tables the year round with
healthful fruits and vegeta bles?
We have never held that cotton,
as cash crop, should not have
an important place on the aver
age Southern farm; but we do
hold that cotton, grown year in
and year out to buy food and feed
that should be grown at home,
cotton grown to the exclusion Of
crop rotations and at the expense
Of soil fertility, is a poor crop,
and a crop that will break the
average man. In other words, il
is the abuse Of a really excellent
crop. rather than its legitimate
use that we protest against.
Bear in mind. too, that in break
ing away from a system that has
meant poor farmers and poor
'arms, we are outlining pro-

ROTATION OF CROPS.

For the benefit Of those Of on
farmers who wish to practice The
| rotation of crops, as SuggeStlo'
we print schedule for Smal
number Of acres which might II,
used as basis either to be mo
flied or ampIified according to the
acreage of the individual farma
This Is understood to be a plan
for five acres only. The schedule
can be extended to cover am
number of acres. In this cor
nectlon we might emphasize the
fact that the Chamber of Com
merce is advocating a contnG-
ance of our cane crop. They
simply preach less acreare. bt
greater tonnage. They believe it
will be mistake to cease to raise
any staple crops, such as cane
rice and cotton, but that we ehor'
raise other things which also in
clude stock if we ever hope 10
get maximum Of profit from the
soil. Hence this schedule is not
intended to be taken as inAexible,
but only as a suggestion of how
crops can be rotated.

UAIRYING AND STOCA
RAISING

Two influences are conspirinc
to place dairying and stock rais-
ing on the gulf coast on a neW
plane of development. One is
the silo, which is making the feed
ing of dairy cows and other 1--we
stock cheaper than in other sec
tions of the county, and the otH-
er is the establishment and the
prospective esta bliShment of meat
packing plants, which will create
a market for the raiser of small
quantities of live stock. Silos
are coming into general use in al.
parts of the rice belt, and partlc-
ularly in southwest Louisiana and
in the rice territory west of Hous
ton. In Beaumont municipal
abattoir has been established that
in time is bound to result in the
development Of packing plants
that will build up home market.
The market for dressed and
cured meats in this territory
would absorb a large production,
and the local markets for pork
products would doubtless take
careo f very large hog prcdrc-
ton. The opening Of Bcaumont's $

HAD ONE REDEEMING TRAIT
But Writer'S Opinion of Humorist
Was Not Altogether Flattering
to That Gentleman.

A young man was sitting in bar
Der shop looking at a magazine when
an old farmer, with little knowledge
or appreciation of literary people,
stepped up behind his chair and
looked over his shoulder.
Who's them?" he inquired, point
ing to a group of portraits.
'Well-known authors and play
wrights,' was the reply.
"Humph!" calculated the farmer
contemptuously. "Jist writin' tellers,
eh?" Then he caught sight of an
author with a long, solemn face, and
his eyes sparkled. That's the one L
like he said with decision, putting
his finger on the writer's mournful
countenance.
"Oh, yes; nearly everyone likes
him." agreed the young man. HIS
humorous writings are

young people together. You amt so
old, lady, not forty, I guess"
GO along with you, Abraham! I'm
only thirty-six!' exclaimed Miss Lisa,
flushing furiously.
"All the better, lady. I've married
worse ones than you. You got bet
ter chance than some. l married
lady of sixty-eight last month";
Abraham, how dare you!'
Its all right said the peddler.
"All the womans says that. They
got to pretend they amt never
thought of marrying. But they'll al
ways take a chance. Now let me
marry you, miss, and you won't regret
it. There's a fine fellow in Sidmouth,
only forty-one-Mr. Frank Jones'
with big farm and horses to breed.
You'd like him, lady"
Abraham, will you go, or I'll never
buy anything from you again?"
"All right, MISS returned the in
exorable peddler. And maybe when
l marry you you'll let me take the or
der for furnishing your home"
The cause of Miss Lisas trepidation
may or may not have been known to
Mr.. Abraham. The fact was that the
said Mr.. Jones had been an old sweet
heart of Miss Lisa's, years before, one
among a number, when she was a vii
lage belle. Since then they had met
several times, but there had never
been any thought of courtship.
1t was the following day that Abra-
ham renewed his proposition, this
time to Mr. Frank Jones, before whose
door he stopped.
''Mr. Jones, why amt you never got
married?" he asked, with a winning
smile which could not possibly have
given offense.
'Why, Abraham don't know,
really. I suppose none of the girls
wanted me-"
Then I got just the girl for you,
said Abraham. such fine girl, Mr..
Jones. in Hobart SHE'S Miss Lisa

Abraham. "All the mems says that at

No. she didn't tell me she loved you,
Mr.. Jones, but / read it in her eyes.
You can get her-and then maybe
you'll let me take the order for FUR
nishing the home-yes?"
Left alone, Frank Jones began think
ing over the old days of his wooing
of Miss Lisa Lisa Quentin had GER
tainly been one of the sweetest girls
in the neighborhood. The middle
aged man found himself recalling in
cidents that he had forgotten years
before, things quite unsuited to the
reveries of substantial, hard-headed

Stars Velocity.

The velocity of a star seems to be
a factor of it's effective age. Unlike
ordinary human experience, the speed
of a star increases with it's advancing
wears. and in the whirl of spheres
above us it is the young who cannot
keep the pace. The average velocity
of stars ranges from about six kllo-
meters, or between three and four
miles, per second for young stars to
about thirty lEilometers per second for
"old" ones. But notable exceptions
occur. At Mount Wilson solar observ-
atory of the Carnegie institution some
stars have been found to move with
velocities of 141, $50, 179, 233, 2l6 and
even S25 kilometers per second, the
highest speed yet known.

and will leave as lasting an impress
sion as Crater lake.
Crater Lake National park is in the
Cascade range of mountains in south
ern Oregon The lake is circular in
form and about six miles in diameter.
It's surface is at an elevation Of 6,177
feet above sea level and is an average
of 1000 feet below the crest of the
surrounding crater rim. The great
cavity in this mountain was once the
crater of an active volcano which, at
one time or another, collapsed, leaving
a receptacle several hundred feet in
depth which is now filed with spar
king blue water, clear as a diamond
and of blue that defies description.
Arranging for Tourists.
To make this unique gem OF ex-
Iuisite beauty available to the travel
Ing public has been no simple problem.
The park is traversed by roads from
the west and from the south and the
approaches are along easy gradients
and through wonderful forests and
alongside beautiful canyons, but upon
a closer approach to the ascent to the
rim of the crater, the difficulty Of
reaching the lake becomes more and
more serious, and the problems in
volved in establishing proper accom-
modations for the tourists and main
tanning them throughout the season
becomes more and more complex.
The superintendent house is To-
Gated several miles from the rim Of
the crater and at an elevation of 5000
feet above sea level. This altitude,
while more than 1000 feet below the
rim OF the crater from which view
Of the lake can be had, is still one

which, at this latitude is covered with
SHOWS for many months of the year;
it is however, the most practicable
place at which to locate the govern
ment headquarters and to establish
small village consisting of few
stores and supply stations. It is not,
however, at the rim Of the crater and
therefore could never, under any cir
cumStances, be a place where tourists
would be content to stay, for there Is
ever the mountain top with the lake
beyond beckoning the traveller to the
goal of his pilgrimage.
The establishment of the village on
the rim of the crater overlooking the
lake would be ideal, but in certain sea-
sons the SHOWS are so late in melting
that tourists might never reach the vii
lage in the season of their travel. The
solution, therefore, appears to be a
double village or two stations, one at
the lower level, which opens several
weeks before the upper levels, and one
means tourists may arrive at the lower
station, where accommodations may
be found, and proceed to the rim Of
the crater by foot when the road is
not passable for vehicular traffic. At
the rim of the crater should be estab-
lished a secondary village in which
sleeping and eating accommodations
are provided together with stores and
studios which might supply the wants
of the tourists.
Sailing anc Fishing en- the Lake.
The desire of the tourist upon arriv-
ing at Crater Lake National park is to
reach the rim of the crater at the
earliest time. Once there, his allcon-
Stunning desire is to descend to the
surface of the lake and to sail upon

this bluest sea about the phantom
island and in the shadow Of the jagged
rim. After he goes this far, his next
consuming desire will De to hook the
glorious trout which may be seen
swimming in the depths beneath his
boat. A trip of this sort will only fill
him with further longing to encircle
the lake on land around the rim, SO
that he may drink in the sparkling
colors and deeper shadows from all
angles. The problem, therefore, which
confronts the secretary of the interior
is the development of roads and trails
about the lake 80 that the tourist may
receive full satisfaction, and to do this,
plans have been drawn and work be-
gun on the roads and trails and vii
lage.
Congress has appropriated money,
which is being expended through the
war department, for the construction
of an encircling road to be built
around the crater This road is under
construction and material portion of
it has been completed. The three en-
trance roads, one from Medford on the
west, one from Klamath Falls on the
south, and one along Sand creek on
the east, have been completed and are
now open to travel. The trail from
the rim of the crater to the lake sur
face indicating the location of the pro-
posed rim village has been construct
ed and will this year be widened and
improved. A lodge or hotel has been
constructed on the rim Of the crater
and roads connecting 1t with the SUI
perintendent's headquarters at Anna
Spring at the lower level have been
completed.
