IS THIS YOUR WAY q?

published by request.)
The times are mighty stringent, and
we've got to plan
The way to keep expenses just as low
as we can;
need better mower than the one
I've got,
And I'll have to get the fencing for
that pasture lot;
And the hog pen must be length
ened-it is far too small
And we'll need another silo for the
corn next fall;
So | cannot put that stove in which
I promised you.
And you'll have to make the old one
do.
There's forty head Of cattle that I
sure must buy,
And | need more land for pasture
now that feeds so high;
And III build 4 new addition to the
cattle she'd
There's lots of heavy outlays loom
ing up ahead;
So | guess we cannot visit with our
boy in town.
And we'll have to give up buying you
that black silk gown.
Yes, thought we'd put in plumbing
and force pump. too.
But | guess you'll have to make the
old well do.
III need another helper when the
summers here,
SO you see we'll have to figure very
close, my dear;
TO bring the ends together makes my
old head whirl,
And | guess you'll have to do with
out the hired girl.
I'm fixing up the horses in a brand
new place;
The barn they used to stay in Is a
plain disgrace
So, although the Kitchens leaking,
and the rain comes through,
I guess you'll have to make the old
roof do.

portion Of it on the market at a time

cline regardless Of the shortage IN

needed the market might easily ad-
vance regardless Of the largeness Of
the crop. If trade conditions continue
stagnant 1t Is not to be expected that
either spectators or trade interests
will buy cotton except in hand-tO-
mouth way, and the burden, there
fore, would be on the producers
shoulders, and as a final analysis,
with financial conditions throughout
! the world as they now are. 1t looks
to us that the producer is going to
be called upon to carry the burden
any way. for IL he attempts to shift
the load upon an unwilling manufac-
turer or a skeptical speculator, the
price will, OF course, decline to level
that will look to be a bargain for
both spinners and spectators.
We look for very violent nuctua-
tions until we know more about the
size Of the crop, the policy Of the pro-
ducer and the trend Of the world s

Some Important Facts Made Public
by Assistant Director Watkins.
(Clemson College Bulletin.)

|. In the efficient marketing of
cotton united effort is absolutely
necessary.
2. Organization means more than
membership in an association. 1t
means to be Of one mind in attack
ing marketing and other problems.
3. IL the price Of cotton is around
80 cents this season farmers will on
an average lose money on their crop
this year.
4. The country damage" to cot
ton In South Carolina is about seven
and half million dollars annually
Warehouses would easily pay for
themselves in one season by saving
this loss.
5. The cotton market can never
be satisfactory as long as seventy per
cent Of the crop Is dumped on a glut-
ted market during four fall months
Warehouses would allow marketing
over twelve months instead Of four.
g. The only way to have cotton
producers know the grade and value
Of their cotton is through the en-
ployment Of official cotton graders.
Z. Cotton producers may control
the grades Of their cotton to some
degree by careful picking and hand
ling to exclude trash and dirt and by
ginning dry.
s. Since the tare for bagging is IS
pounds, the producer should see that
| each bale ginned is covered with six
yards Of three-pound new bagging.
8. The price Of cotton in the flu
ture will largely determine the pro-
gress of the South in education, good
