GOOD CORN AND STOCK.

MT. Harrison was gathering corn in the back field It was turning out very well, the best cut of it, about tv velve acres, was making over fifty bushels to the acre The field would average about twenty-five bushels. There is about 160 head of cattle on this place, a hundred head of which ttill be sold soon. If necessary they will be finished off on solid feed and shipped to market. They are Tat now. but grass fat is not the kind for market.
 From here I went Gown the pike past the Alexander place. At the first corner of it was a sign warning pe5 dlers, solicitors and collectors to keep of the place. As I was at least two thirds of that and the other third was worse K kept off. However. if Mir Alexander had been around he would have invited me in I am quite sure but he was in the legislature.

As trees when fully grown yield from twenty to forty bushels ene real good tree would bring in an income equal to d store.

 calities where 1t has not already been established
 I2. TO DO AWAY WITH ALL SOLICIT ING BY OFFICERS of the Salvation Army during the year (except for the an-
 nual "Self-Denial' Appeal for Foreign Missions)-thus enabling them to devote all their time to Service Work proper.
 |3. THE HOME SERVICE WORK of the
 Salvation Army has suffered greatly dur
 ing the war. This special effort is neces-
 sary to reinstate the Army in sound fioan- clal condition to undertake all the Home
 Service obligations for one year. The in-
 come of the Salvation Army in past years has not been nearly adequate to meet all its Home Service needs. In addition there have been tremendously increasing calls arising from the popular and effective
 work of the Army in the war.

MONEY IN COTTON.

MT Duncan held his cotton last year and lost about one hundred dol lars on 1t and he says if he don't sell his cotton as quick as he gets it out this year, he will sell it sooner. He took off a bale few days ago and he got 35 1-2 cents for It, yield ing $202.35 for the bale, while the seed brought him $21So above the price of ginning. His cotton will probably yield over a half bale to the acre.
