FIFTEEN YEARS AGO
Items of Interest Taken from the SiftingS OF This
Corresponding Week Fifteen Years Ago

Both light and dark
All are glad
To have a lark.
Some as cool
In dresses white
Network screens
Leave much in sight.
Every girl
Is just a dream
Bothered with
A thirst for cream.
Nearly all
OF flirting size
Knock US cold
With goo-goo eyes.
Down beside
The ocean they
Walk the beach
In bath array.
Bathing suits?
o, yes! and vet
Not a girl
Would get hers wet.
Here beneath
A western sky
They will climb
The mountains high.
They will through
The canons roam
Flirt and f1irt
Till they go home.
At the shore
Or in the hills,
They have sport
We paw the bills.
But, at tina
What do we care?
Summer would
Not be so fair
If the girls
Should ever 6irt-
we can stand
Expense-a bit.
Welcome, girls,
To summer chimes!
We will have
Some hot Old times
Fall will find
Us busted fiat
But We will
Not care for that.

 EFT
Food for the family.

OO>% Each family of five on a cot ton farm should have:
 One-half acre in garden. One-half acre in sweet pota- toes.
 One-half acre in Irish potatoes (planted twice, February and August).
 One-fourth acre of Japanese ribbon cane.
 Twenty young hens.
 One brood SOW.
 One milch COW.
 After raising food and feed, raise every pound of cotton you can.
The Home news., 1916-04-07
WHAT ARE WE GOING
 TO DO ABOUT IT?

It is so plain that an overpro- duction of cotton will bring low prices, and the effect of low cot ton prices on Southern business life is such a familiar thing to us all, that we need not let our selves again be afflicted with these blighting conditions unless we do it with our eyes open.
 The cotton situation demands attention from the business man, banker and professional man, as we'll as from the farmer and planter. We are all going to be hurt if too much cotton and too little food and feed are planted in the South this spring. Our greatest danger lies in leaving the situation for "the other fel- low' to correct, while he is leav- ing it to you with equal sagasity. We are prone to Hull ourselves in- to false security as to prospects staying with us, after tardy and recent reappearance, by the thought that surely everybody realizes what will happen if our cotton acreage is increased over that of last year with a cores bonding decrease in planting of feed and food stuff. And such thoughts lead us by the shortest route directly into the prosperity blighting situation we have req son most to dread. What are we going to do about it?
 TWELVE MILLION BALES ON HAND
 The total yield of cotton in the United States in 1915 was Ii, 160,- 900 bales. According to the gov ernment expert, Clarence Ousley, there was on hand in this coun- try at the beginning of 1916, 12,- 693, 769 bales more-- cotton than the total crop of last year. MT. Ousley states that the acreage in foreign countries, particularly in Egypt and India, will be largely increased this year. It seems probable that any considerable increase in the acreage of cotton above that of 1915 is likely to re- suit iii low price next fall.

The unusual prosperity of the cotton grower has been caused by high prices for his products and the lowest cost of production in years. Cotton and cotton seed were high because there were five million acres less planted in 1915 than in 1914. The growers raised their cotton at a lower cost per pound in 1915 than in any season for many years. Many have reported that it cost them five cents a pound in 1915 to grow their cotton and eight to ten cents a pound in previous years. They freely admit that the reason they produced their cotton so cheap last year was be- cause they raised the food and feed consumed on their farms, while in other years they bought both.

When his house went down Mr.. Ce-
hand caught glimpse of his wife and
two sons as the mountain of water
swallowed them up. The two boys,

the last he saw of any member of his
family since that memorable day when
they were torn apart in the raging
storm until few days ago his two
sons, now grown to young manhood,
