Improvement
Over the County

Local lumber yards in the various
towns OF the county report a consid-
cradle number of new buildings go
ing up on the farms during the past
two or three months. 4 few of them
are modern farm dwellings. with all
the conveniences of town houses, but
most of them consist of barns, gran
aries, hog and chicken houses.
These buildings are better and
more extensive than the old ones
particularly is this the case with new
barns. They are large, and contain
conveniences for stock. This build
ing is noted almost exclusively on the
older farms, owned by men who have
farmed here for some years. They
are preparing for enlarged business,
and are making good. Their faith
and confidence will eventually dem
onstrate to nonresident land owners
the value of improving.
Every well improved farm has in.
creased its real value a great deal
over the unimproved lands, and the
growing demand now in evidence is
for the improved farm, even at a n
siderable raise in price.
Following is a partial list of build
ings recently reported:

Fred Stebbins, Spring Lake twp

COTTON PLANTING SEED.

We again call your attention
To the advisability of procuring
planting seed NOW if you expect
to plant cotton another year.
Make up your mind what variety
of cotton you want TO plant and
procure your seed while you have
chance 10 buy the best seed
that is produced in the United
States. III you want long sta
pie cotton, get it while you can
ge' good seed. If you want short
staple cotton, get it while you
can get good seed that Is not
frost bitten, top crop, etc.
"A great many are running a
round in the spring OF the year
ike a chicken with his head oil
trying to get seed, and are will
ing to get scrapings or anything
else so long as IL Is pronounced
cotton seed, and You might JUS
as well go TO a wheat threShes
and get the screenings or TO
corn crib and get the nubbms
and expect To raise good corn or
wheat as To expect TO raise good
cotton from the kind of cotton
seed some of you are willing to
take i'm the spring of the year
and plant.
A little observation this year
should convince everyone that
there is more difference in the
kind of cotton seed that you
plant, the way you handle 1t, your
picking, etc, than there Is Iii
any other crop that the farmer
produces. We have seen account
sales where there was $4,000 diff
ference in the receipt of a bale
of cotton, all come about IN the
kind of seed and the way the cot
ton was handled. We have also
seen some account sales from
Hickman cotton sold in Memphis
that is as high as any that has
been sold ON that market, with
the exception probably of few
isolated bales.
Inc Oulttu ctotCS
is sending out warnings all ov-
er the South advising all cotton
planters to procure good seed
and stating that there will be
scarcity of seed and almost
famine in cotton seed before TN
planting season is over, which 1
brought about by the extra mgr
prices the oil mills are paylns
for seed and the great demand
there is going to be for another
year.
