Not Exactly Satisfied.

A party of women from a local
church gathered for a thimble party
one day recently at the home of one
of the members. The ladies were in
innate friends and the heat of the
day, the excitement of the war or
some other circumstance, perhaps just
feminine nature, caused them to in
dulge rather freely in neighborhood
talk, commonly called gossip" The
little daughter of the hostess slipped
in unnoticed and sat listening. Absent
friends were mentioned in critical re-
marks and even some Of the guests
who took their departure were dis
cussed. AS the talk went on little
Elizabeth edged up to her mother and
said In a stage whisper: "Oh, dear!
Nobody seems just exactly satisfied

industrious Spiders.

They have very industrious spiders
down in South America. We think
our spiders here work hard enough.
but down there they are said to work
overtime. Upon one occasion. at
least, they completely disorganized the
telegraph service in part of the Argen-
tine republic by spinning too many
webs across the lines. AS soon as dew
fell or a shower of rain came on, each
one of the innumerable microscopic
threads, becoming wet. set in motion
q tiny leakage of electric current.
These millions of leaks practically
stopped the operation of the lines,
thus putting the government telegraph

WORK PLAN FOR NEXT YEAR
director OF Alabama Experiment Sta
ton Urges Farmers to Substitute
Food Crops for Cotton.

10y J. +. DUGGAR. Director. Alabama
Experiment Stat,on)
what are the most advisable sub
stitutes for cotton? In seeking an an
swer to this question we must keep
In mind, first, the present and pros
pective high prices for food products,
including all grains and meats, as a
result of the European war, and. Sec
ond, the necessity for farmers spend
ing no money next year for any crops
or products that they can grow at
home.
The general principles that should
govern in the substituting of other
products in part for cotton are chief
ly the following:
1. Produce an ample amount OF
crops that can be consumed on the
farm. thus eliminating the too-custOm-
airy expenditure for shipped-in corn,
oats. hay. canned goods, meat, lard,
etc.
2. Produce for sale a surplus OF
those staple food crops or products
that are in wide demand, e. g., corn.
oats, wheat, pork, beef. butter, etc.
3. Prepare pasture of such kinds
that the hogs, cattle, colts and other
live stock may be able to pay profit
able rental for the pasture lands
| 4. Grow limited amounts of those
crops that the local market will con-
sumo in limited amounts, such as
sugar cane, sweet potatoes, melons
and other truck crops: but remember
that competition in 1915 will probably
be stronger in the production and
sale of these perishable products. and
that hard times may decrease the pur'
chasing power Of the local consumers
5. Devote attention to the minor in
dustries on the farm, such as poul
try. gardening and canning, both In
crease by ever so little the total
sales.
6. Utilize as much as practicable OF
the poorest land for growing soil
improving crops, SO that the farm
may be producing fertilizer in 1915
which will certainly be salable In 1916
in the form of increased yields OIL
cotton, corn and all other crops. More
over, cowpeas, velvet beans or Other
legumes thus grown largely for sol
improvement can also be probably
utilized in 1915, either for seed produc
ton. hay or pasturage.
Z. Whenever posi- ible make the hos
one of the sale proH ucts OF the farm
this cannot be done with profit chief
ly on corn, but it can be done by pro
viding an abundance of suitable pas
lures and of special hog crops, such al
peanuts, soy beans, velvet beans, etc.
and by taking precautions that arr
now practicable against hog cholera
8. Increase the number Of live stool
on the farm, and especially retain o.
add to the number Of heifers ant
cows.
8. Substitute brood mares for
part Of the mules wherever financia
conditions, supervision and decreases
farm work make this practicable.
10. Organize farmers clubs IN eacl
community with special reference t
! cooperative marketing.

NOT DEPENDENT ON COTTON
Southern Farmer Who Sets Out to Get
More From His Land May Do So
by Good Diversification.

After all, the cotton growers OF the
South will not fare 80 badly because Of
the European war;" said Col H. L.
Holt of Birmingham, Ala, to Wash
ington Post reporter the other day.
This years crop was so big that had
there not been q European war the
price of the staple would not have been
high. Before the crop was made we
were talking about 13 and IA cent cot
ton, but when the government report
indicated that nearly. If nPt quite, as
much cotton was grown. 'as in 1911,
when the highest marx was reached,
the market became yfeak. doubt II
we should have received more than
or 9H cents. ~ It is, cotton is selling
At 7H cents, and is moving up fast to
the eis,st-cent level.
"~fhere seems to be a decided i'm
.provement in general trade. This cot
ton scare has had its good effect. Many
farmers already are making plans fol
diversifying their crop next year.
know of one farmer who has shown
the possibilities Of planting small
grain. In 1918 he made LOO bushels
of oats on Is acres, and this year hi
made 600 bushels on ten acres. He
has been getting 81 bushel for hi!
oats from his neighbors. His yield
Of cotton, he told me. is a bale and &
half to the acre. So you see the south
ern farmer who sets about to make hi!
land pay all that is possible can d.
so. He need not be dependent on an!
one crop. All that the land in tn,
South needs is little fertilizer prop

and rotation of crops, and it will pa.
as well as any farming land of tn,
