FARM AND GARDEN HINTS.

20 cent cotton may not last, and
even If 1T does, good fall and win
ter garden will make money go far
ther. 1t is not too late for turnips,
according to old-timers on the tur-
nip patch. Turnips like all fall root
crops do best I'm a deep fertile soil,
and should be planted at such a time
that they will have moderately
cool season for development. From
the middle OF August until early in
September is the best time, but II you
have not done 1t, late is better than
never.
Some OF the common root crops
that are adapted for fall planting
are beets, satisfy, parsnips, carrots,
turnips and winter radishes. Unless
the soil is already fertile give it a
good application of well rotted sta
BILE manure. Some commercial fertili-
zer along with the manure will be
helpful.
We do not make use OF spinach as
we should. 1t is especially good for
children. Spinach is richer IN iron
than is any other vegetable. The sea-
son is not late to plant 1t for fall
use. A sowing about the middle OF
September will supply greens
throughout the winter and early
spring, for spinach is almost as
hardy as salad onions.

THE REAR GUARD

Doris was rather back ward in hel
studies. One day when her father
was inquiring into her standing al
school, she admitted that she was the
lowest In her class.
"Why, Doris," he exclaimed, 81 am
ashamed OF you! Why don't you
study harder and get away from the
foot?''
ut isn't my fault at all" flashed
Doris in tones of injured innocence.

at the foot has quit school,"

Definite Turning Of The Tide
In The Direction Of
Prosperity.

Decided Improvement In the gener-
al business status as result of re-
cent advances In the price of cotton,
INCREASED demand for tex tiles and re-
newed activity at the mills mark the
definite turning OF the tide in the di-
rection OF prosperity, according to
the views of prominent mill men and
textile leaders who recently met at
Greenville. S. G. The consensus OF
opinion as expressed by B. e. Geer,
President of the Judson Mills, Green
vile, was that all business may be
expected to be on a firm basis by the
first Of the year. II believe" said Mr.
Geer, that by the first of January
every mill executive will be able to
tell his stockholders that he Ia max

dividend on the capital Investment. :"

WE. Beattie, Of the Victor Monag-
han mill, declared that buyers will
purchace freely at the higher prices.
An advance In the price OF goods
corresponding to the advance In cot

buyers Immediately placing good or

son from Switzerland, as follows"
said Mr.. Beattie: Joseph OF old

Buy cotton"
AS result Of spending less this
year for fertilizer, labor and supplies,
the cotton growers are In better
shape for holding their cotton than
ever before, so that they will not be
disposed to rush cotton to market
in such quantities as to depress the
price, Is the opinion OF many.
Geo. M. Rose, cotton merchant OF
Charlotte, N. c., said that with the
increased demand for cotton there is
less being offered for sale, resulting
in higher prices and much tirmer
market. 1t is held that the price will
to advance because the
mills are not heavily stocked up.
Improved conditions In the mills,
most OF which have been closed but
are now running, are declared to
have added their part to theimprove-
ment Of general conditions. There is
little disposition on the part OF cot
ton merchants to sell for future de-
livery because present conditions
will not permit OF figuring margins.
The best class of cotton is expected
to be scarce and therefore higher.

ARE NEAR CRISIS
GreatestAgricuItural Depression
in History Due Says Wallace.
Cheapest Possible Food Needed
to Weather Coming Storm.

Boston, Dec. 10 .Cby the A. P.)-
Tho United States is passing thru the
most severe agricultural depression
in it's history, Secretary Wallace Of
the agricultural department declared
in an address today before the Boston
Chamber of Commerce. Asserting
that prices of major farm crops were
lower than at any time in the nations
experience. Secretary Wallace predict
ed that decreased production would
result in prices $50 high that city
consumers will complain bitterly for
duce at a loss"
The Industrial east, Secretary Wal
lace said, may feel the need of a SYM
pathetic and thoroly efficient agricul-
ture. sooner than is realized since
.'the billions of dollars which we have
loaned to Europe must be paid not in
gold, but in goods which compete with
our own manufacturers and which are
produced at a cost far below our own,
and to meet such competition our own
people must have the cheapest possible
food"
This country now, Mr.. Wallace said,
is passing thru very much the same
experience that England had follow
ing the Napoleonia wars. Altho the
transition in England from an agri-
cultural to a manufacturing country
had set in at the beginning of those
wars. the secretary recalled, it was the
severe depression in agricultural prod
ucts that followed and continued for
many years that finally wrought the
change to an industrial nation, he said.
I'VE are approaching that period
which comes in the life of every ma
ition," Mr.. Wallace said, when we
must determine whether we shall
strive for well-rounded, self-sustain-
ing national life in which there shall
be a fair balance between industry
and agriculture or whether, as have so
many nations in the past, we fshall
sacrifice our agriculture for the build
ing of cities and expect our food to
be produced not by independent farm
crs. but by men and women of the
peasant type"
