READING ON WINTER NIGHTS
Farmers Can Take Advantage Of Sea-
SON for Planning Their Work and
Storing Up knowledge.

During the bad weather of winter.
when 1t Is almost impossible to work
outdoors and when there is little work
to be done in the fields in comparison
with other seasons. farmers have an
opportunity to give some of their time
to two things that many of them neg
lect almost entirely. One OF these
things is to plan carefully for the next
season. the other is to absorb knowl-
edge from the printed matter that IL
now to be had in such abundance.
Most business men would shortly be
bankrupt If they planned their affairs
as little as the average farmer does.
1t is reasonable to believe that fore
handedness and prudence will be as
profitable in farming as in merchandise
ing or banking. Certain 1t is that the
farmer will lose nothing by giving
some of his spare time this winter to
looking ahead.
For example, II he has not been car
rying out crop rotation, now is a
good time for him to decide upon one
that is we'll suited to his conditions
and to work out the details of 1t. He
should be looking into the fertilizer
situation to see what his purchases
should be and where he can make
them. He should be preparing to save
all the trash on his place, as well as
the wood ashes, for humus and for
potash. He should be interesting him.
self in the question OF homemixing
fertilizers. There are numerous other
things that might profitably occupy
the average farmers attention at this
time. =
There is almost no subject on agri-
culture on which he cannot get free
literature either from Clemson college
or from the United States depart
ment Of agriculture at Washington.
For example, bulletins that may be Sc
cured from Clemson college on some
of the subjects mentioned above are
as follows:
Farmers Reading Course Bulletin
No. II. Buying and Using Fertilizers.
Circular No. 10. Homemixing of Fer.

tension division; for the other. write

REDUCE ACREAGE OF COTTON
Strong Evidence That Boil Weevil VIII
Return Next Year and Do Much
Damage to the Crop.

Another reason why the cotton acre
age should be reduced next year il
that there are strong evidences that
tire boil weevil will return in numbers
sufficient to destroy cotton that cannot
be given more than ordinary time and
attention. Therefore the farmer who
has q big acreage has good reason to
see that the weevil will visit heavy
loss upon him. Another re&son il that
the cotton is threatened with q blight
which II 1t comes will also result in
heavy damage and q damage that
cannot be overcome just as is the case
with the weevil. So certain are au-
thorities on cotton growing that these
two obstacles will stand in the way Of
big cotton crop that warnings to that
effect are already being sent out and
are being published in the papers. A
small cotton acreage and general d.
versification il the best road.-Corsi-

Farmers Educational
mi and Operative
I'LL Union of America

The man who can't be counted on
don't count.
In the best farm homes order is law
and orders few.
There's no way Of getting around
not being on the square.
You can't teach an old girl new
tricks-she knows 'em all.
Some men in going to the devil take
up entirely too much time on the way.
Keeping the polish on a moldboard
may be better than shining In society.
Education and service are yoke-fel-
lows. Don't attempt to separate them.
Health is natural. disease is unnat.
ural. health Is contagious as well as
disease.
A determined fool is more pleasant
to contemplate than a hesitating phi.
losopher.
More money spent on the hearth
stone might mean less required for the
tombstone.
A plan in order to be workable must
be practical: that It may be practical
calls for that.
No man can ever gain q practical
knowledge of the world by pursuing
his studies in rocking chair.
Make up your mind what you in
tend to do, make your plans accord
ingly and carry out your ideas.
Do something, read something. study
something or think something during
the time you are in the habit of doing
nothing.
The man who has more dollars than
sense may not, however. have more
dollars than q man of more sense
ought to have.
Do not forget that farmers are real
izing that there Is much more in be-
ing an up-to-dste farmer than most
of us used to think.
Take an interest in other people.
Then you will always have friends
who are interested in you. That makes
it compound interest.
Most farmers are reasonable in their
wants. They only want what they
need, and are patient when they can't
get It Just when they need it.
The young farmer who sticks a.
closely to his business as the city man
has to do. to make living, will have

PROTECTION FOR THE COTTON
Where Farmer Does Not Take Out In.
suranee He Should Store Staple
In Well-Sheltered Place.

Farmers who are holding cotton at
home are reminded of the great loss
caused by bad weather. The fall has
been SO free from wet weather that
cotton lying out 90 far has not been
damaged very much, but this ideal
weather cannot be expected to con-
tinue indefinitely.
An insurance agent suggested the
other day that where q cotton owner
will not take out insurance he ought
at least. in justice to himself, to place
his cotton so that 1t will be least ex-
posed to sparks and other agencies
that start blazes. He suggested that
II cotton bales are to be left out Of
storage that they be placed on timber
Of some kind for protection from the
wet ground and far apart 30 that. II
one bale catches afire. the blaze will
not spread to the others. This sounds
like pretty good advice to us.-Laur-
