REDUCE YOUR COTTON ACREAGE
DIR Long Fears. Possible Advance in
Price May Lead Many Wrong.

Clemson College, Jan. l3.-"I con-
fess that | am more or less skepti-
cal Of the Willingness Of the farmer
to meet situation by reducing his
acreage IN cotton" says w. w. Long,
director Of the extension service, in
discussing the present situation and
the future outlook for cotton prices.
81 appreciate that he is entirely
honest when he expresses tho will
in3ness at this season Of the year to
reduce his acreage, but | very much
fear that when planting time arrives
and the cotton market becomes some
what stronger, and the tendency is
for higher prices, that he will forget
his good intentions, expressed a few
months before, and satisfy himself
with the thought that the other fell
low Is going to make the reduction.
I want to emphasize this fact, that
unless the cotton acreage Of the
South Is greatly reduced, those farm
ers who are now holding cotton will
hand. but this next years crop, at a
price that will not only be disap-
pointing, but that this period of
demoraliza ton will, Of necessity,
have to continue. There never was a
time when the situation as to the
price Of cotton is so absolutely in the
hands Of the farmer. If he will act
with that intelligence and good, COM
mon sense and conservatism that he
has always been credited with, this
situation can be solved It will re-
quire the development of the spirit
Of self-denial a willingness to make
sacrifices, unceasing labor, with the
determination to make every farm
in South Carolina absolutely self
supporting. for man and beast. and
an intelligent reduction Of the cotton
acreage.

HOMEMADE HIDES

It Does Not Pay Farmer to Tan
His Own Leather.
Packing Houses Have Considerable
Advantage Because of Ability to
Carefully Grade Skins-Holes

Apparently 1t doesn't pay the farm
er to tan his own leather. The bureau
of chemistry, United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture. Is conducting
leather-maklng experiments upon the
scale to which the average farmer
would have to adjust his work, and
specialists say that the results OBJ
tained thus far do not warrant gen.
eral practice. Good leather can be
made in individual tanneries. but the
results are too uncertain to give re-
liable profits.
The work was taken up By the de-
partment when 1t became evident that
the farmers were feeling the injustice

currence not at all unusual. Investi-

CorTUN rAltMEIss ARE WARNED


Columbia, Jan 13.-"The advance
few days has been due largely to the
growing impression on the New York
exchange that the farmers Of the
South are actually going to reduce
their cotton acreage this spring
says statement given out from the
headquarters Of the South Carolina
Division Of the American Cotton AS
sociation in this city
Attention Of the public was called
by the association to the opinions Of
well known cotton firms. which have
been printed in the papers recently.
Several Of these firms are quoted as
saying that the reports that farmers
are freely signing the acreage reduc-
ton pledges had influenced the mar
kct.'
Warming that the price Of cotton
might be forced up by the cotton in
terests around planting time in an
effort to fool the farmers" into
planting another large crop was also
quoted in the statement. I'VE wish
to urge the farmers to sign the
pledges and live up to them," the as
sociation says. If they will only do
this we will be able to at least sell
our cotton for what it costs The
minute the market becomes convinc-
ed that we have reduced our acreage
we believe there will be sharp up
ward turn. We must not be STAN
pedcd by any advance. however, into
planting another large crop. If we
are we will be in a worse fix next fall
than We are now. The only thing
that can save us will be a drastic re-
duction in cotton acreage and a very
greatly increased acreage in food and
feedstuffs. We believe the farmers
Of the South have awakened to this

CHAPTER VIII.


Little by little Paul Pendlehaven
taught her. and little by little Tony's
salvation boy preached his lessons of
Universal Love to her; and the eager
young mind drank in the knowledge as
thirsty plant takes in water
There were no signs of Uriah and
Edith returning, and Tonnibel grew
daily more hopeless when she thought
OF her mother. Perhaps she would
never see her again. She had strenu-
ously refused. to speak of her people
to Paul Pendlehaven.
Doctor John noticed as the days
passed how much better his brother
was looking, and no wonder his own
heart warmed hourly to the curly
headed waif who had come. among
them SO mysteriously.
Unknown to either Of the doctors,
Mrs. Curtis and her daughter had been
able to keep Tony Devon from meet
ing Philip MacCauley in the house. At
first John Pendlehaven had Insisted
that Tony attend the family table, but
both Paul and the girl decided that
her meals should be served in the sick
room. Perhaps If Philip MacCauley
hadn't been interested in a certain lit
tie girl on canal boat, his curiosity
would have taken him to Paul's apart
ments to make the acquaintance Of
the little companion John Pendlehaven
had casually spoken of.
shes a wonder, Phil," he saic one
evening. For the first time I've hopes
of Pauls recovery" 300
"GoodI" replied Philip. and immedi-
ately fell into q revery.
1870 So
Tonnibel had reached the canal boat
and had changed to her old clothes
when suddenly she heard footsteps on
the path beside the Hoghole. Her
heaxt almost leapt out Of her mouth.
Perhaps her mother was coming home,
perhaps her father. TremblinKly she
peeped out through the aperture. She
drew back instantly. Reginald Brown
was approaching the canal boat. She
heard him cross the deck, and then The
footsteps ceased. She hoped With all
her might and main that he wouldn't
think Of coming downstairs.
But that was exactly what he did
do She croucneo up against the
bunk. as the boy stepped into the cab
In. When he saw her q slow grin
spread over his thin face.

I'm not afraid of your father or

where they are" y.
The words sent Tonnibel forward q
step.
"HonestT" she gasped. "Is it honest
what you say?"
Certainly" replied the young man,
"and they told me to come here and
get you"

said the girl. 'I'll speak my mind
outright. I'll make the house too hot
to hold her. I think 1 know how to
put one over on our philanthropic
COUSINS"
When Tonnibel came into the office
that evening to ask very important
question of Doctor Pendehaven, he
said to her:
MY dear I want you always to re-
member what I am going to tell you
now. This house belongs to my
brother and me. do not wish you
to take orders from anyone but u.s."
Tony gazed at him moment. not
understanding at first. Then her lips
widened.
That means II anyone says I've got
to hike back to the canal boat, I don't
go unless one of you tells me to-" she
demanded. ''Is that it?"
The doctor laughed.
Yes, that's It," said he. snow what
did you want of me7"
Can go down the lake tomorrow

went on. II want to see If anyone's

very near him now, her eyes gazing at
him wistfully. please tell me where

Never mind just now" said he, his
eyes taking in her slight young figure
passionately. Here, / want to kiss
you"
He dragged her forward until her
slender. quivering body was pressed
against his. He had said he intended
to kiss her. All the rebellion of
primitive uneducated nature sprang
into life within Tony Devon. The
curly head darted upward for a mo-
ment, and the gray eyes blazed into
the muddy blue ones. leering down
upon her. Then, knowing no other
way to protect herself from desecra-
ton. she set her sharp white teeth
into Reggie's hand. sinking them
deep beneath his skin. A cry Of hurt
rage escaped his lips. and he flung
her from him,
You little VIXEN" he got out, shak-
ing his hand In panic. "You little
wicked brat! There Now I'll teach
you to bite me again."
He sprang at her, and Tony
screamed twice with all her lung
power. Then something happened |
Someone grasped hold of the man
who had snatched her into his arms,
and for what seemed an interminable
time two forms struggled together in
the small cabin. For a few seconds
Tony didn't realize who Reggie's as
sailant was; then with n grip at her
heart she recognized Philips white
face as with terrible strength he
dragged Reggie up the steps.
Into her terrified eyes came one
strange flashing smile of welcome.
Her salvation man had saved her, and
as every woman does in cases where
her need is great, she cried out her
thanksgiving in his name, that best
beloved name of Philip. BY this time
the two men were struggling on the
deck, and as If impelled by some un-
known force Tony staggered up the
steps.
1t was just as she reached the top
that she saw Captain MacCauley, by
one mighty effort, lift the struggling
figure Of the other man and throw him
into the lake. A sharp ejaculation fell
from her lips. Never had she seen

Devon was forcing Philip backward
