| Last week was a record break
err for heat, however hay saving,

satisfactorily. The cotton crop
is very short and in two more
weeks if the weather continues
fair it will practically all be open

ldence teaches us some Of the
most wonderful lessons we ever
learn if we would only heed
them. If we had made q large
cotton crop, which every indica-
ton pointed to, the first Of Aug
lust, what would we be getting for
Fit today? Not over Sc or 10c, per-
lhaps as it is we will get more
money out of our crop. Can't
we see the folly in trying to pro-
duce IL or IA millions bales of
cotton? We had better let our
children play, or better, put them
! lin school, and only raise 6 or 8
million bales, when we know
i from this years experience, as
i well as other years. that a small
crop brings the most money. /

and that is to lose sight of the
money side of farming and try

Poultry is a most profitable
side line to any farm. It's very
often the only part of the farm
that really makes a profit, and
yetitis the most neglected and
abused. One hundred hens prop
erly selected and given a fair
chance will produce more real
profit than the average farmer
is getting from his cotton crop.
Why not give the old hen a
chance, give more attention to
the poultry, put 100 hens of some

THE HOME NEWSPAPER.

be it is not all you think it should
be. If so, does it ever occur to
you that if it does not come up
to your ideas of what it should
be that you may be, in a meas
ure, responsible for its short
comings?
The home paper is dependent
upon the nome people for its sup
port. If the home people do not
properly support it. naturally il
cannot be what it could be if il
were well supported by the com.
munity.
Your paper can be worth more
to you if you support it literally
than any other like investment
than you can make. | see nearly
all the papers in the State and
find that without exception ev-
cry one of them, even where they
do not have the liberal backing
of their communities. is standing
up for its home section.
You depend upon your home pa
per for the local news. You ex-
pect it to mention your coming
and going, the visits Of your
friends, sickness or death, we'd
dings and birth. When any new
movement is started for the COM
munity, you expect the paper to
boost it. You expect much of
your home paper, and want you
to compare what you contribute
toward it's support with what you
expect of it. You must realize
that from no source do you get
Iso much for your money.
| You can help your paper serve
the community better by coop
Grating with it, giving it news
that it would otherwise be hard
for it to secure. ! speak from ex-
perience, for published a week
| ly neWspaperfor many years, and
know what they have to con-
tend with.
The newspaper is always awake
to the things that are worth
J while to it's section. It gives
freely of its space to suggestions
for better agricultural methods,
better live stock, ETC., and pub
fishes the activities of the corn
clubs, the pig clubs, the tomato
clubs and other organizations,
and is always glad to feature the
picnics, Institutes and social
gatherings Of farmers and their
families. It is always active for
better schools, better churches
and better roads.
It is the fault of the people
themselves if they cannot pick
| up their home paper and get all
the news Of the community and
Of the county. If you have a COM
munity or county fair it is your
home paper that plays it up and
records your progress as eviden-
ced by the exhibits and the prem
iumns awarded.
/ We get benefit from any move
ment, society or organization in
proportion to the interest we
manifest in it. Your interest in
and support of your home paper
will always bring you satisfactory
returns. While local pride ought
to prompt you to support your
paper, it should not be overlook
ed that your own prosperity and
the prosperity of your commun-
lily can be advanced by live
newspaper. And to be a live pa
per, it must have your support.
| am very much gratified to see
a marked improvements in the
newspapers of the state. ! be
lieve the people are beginning to
more fully realize the important
part the newspapers have in the
development of the country. Il
