 Agriculture.
 (By Otho McBurnett, 13 years old. }
 Agriculture is defined in Webster's $ dictionery as: The art of practice of cultivating the land. It is the chief or leading occupation of the Southern States as we have the climate and soil well adapted to it. We raise al- most every thing edible, such as fruit vegetables grain and u11fc
 Most of the farming is done by the use of mules and horses. Some, however, is carried on with machinery, which is coming in use more, each, day.49s
 Our most important crops are corn, and cotton. From corn we are able in way to feed ourselves and our stock. While from our cotton we are clothed. Then too we are able to ship a great part of it, away.
 Some farming is carried on by means of irrigation. This is done in the region where rainfall is scarce. Many people have been greatly pro- fited by this aid to agriculture.
 Time of farming is during the tspring and summer months practical lys speaking.
 During the twentieth century is one Of the most important times for this great occupation, and if we only use our opportunities and advantages, then we can make this even most profitable industry.
 l In order that we may accomplish this great end, we must take our start while the path is open and dour bit as best we can, so when old CT we will know the very best methods of farming.
