Apples Are HeaIthful.

Stick to the great American apple as at least harmless component part Of the national dietary. It is fairly packed with the austere New Eng. land virtues. It's flavor suggests pru, dence and self-control. and its juices symbolize intellectual pleasures.

An Extraordinary Cotton Situa-
ton

1t is said that never before in
the history of the country have
cotton mills been making so
much money. On ordinary yarns
we are told profits of fifty cents
on each pound Of cotton spun
are not unusual.
If cotton goods command rec
rd-breaking prices, it stands to
reason that cotton lint should
also command record breaking
prices. But already manufac-
turers are predicting that the
usual heavy selling early in the
season will keep down prices
and enable manufacturers to
monopoIize the enormous profits
that they should divide with the
producers of the staple.
We again urge all Southern
farmers, therefore. to hold up
the usual flood of early selling.
We are already in an extraordin-
airy situation, and the possibility
of peace before another crop ap-
pears, thus opening up great
new markets for lint, must also
be considered, A member OF
the Progressive Farmer staff
travelling from Alabama to North
Carolina reports that the cotton
crop outlook gave him the blues,
thousands of acres promising
only one. fifth to one-tenth of 6
bale per acre.
Pick rapidly, sell slowly, anC
know your grades should be
every farmers watchword. JUS
because the prices are good dom
be content to give the buyers
the extra profit on good grades
amounting to five or six dollars
per bale. Get all you car
while the getting is good" al
! one farmer puts it. If cottol
| farmers manage right they ma!
now recoup and get even for al
, the suffering and hardship o
> two years ago, and they ough

When harvested for seed it is
necessary to allow soy beans to
mature more fully than for hay
but if allowed to stand until the
leaves fall as some advise, there
will be much SCATTERING and great
loss of seed and as a rule less good
seed will be saved than as if the
beans had been cut before fully
matured. 1t is better to harvest
a little early or when the pods be.
gin to turn yellow because there
is less ~Shattering and loss of beans
