YE FARAfE GOSSIPE

Farmers who cooperate don't wait
for their ship to come in; they row
out to meet it.
A good farmer looks upon his land
as a building lot, not a mining prop
erty.
Selling hogs and buying pork may
be profitable, but not for the farmer
who sells the hogs.
A sermon in eight words: Our
COWS died. and then our children
died"
Nearly one-third of the people gain
fully employed in agriculture pro-
duce only one-ffth of the national
income. What's the answer?
A tip on burning cotton stalks:
An acre of cotton stalks is worth
$1,000 or $1,000 for humus and
fertilizer.
If one farmer in community
wants to raise sheep and his neigh
bors want to raise dogs, now many
sheep will be raised?
Another good effect of boil weevil
damage: The farmer who has to
cheat the weevl to make cotton will
take better care of it and market it
to better advantage.
What is a rural community? A re-
gion of common interests in which
people can be brought together into
community organizations to work out
their own problems.
A farmer dub who buys a scrub
Gets nothing for his mon.
Let's, go inquire for purebred sire,
And put our luck in one.

TRACTORS ON SOUTHERN FARMS

A canvass, which was made in the
spring of 1921 among 64S tractor
owners in Alabama, Georgia., North
and South Carolina, and Tennessee,
all of whom had bought their tractors
new between March, 1918, and Sep
tember, 1920, indicates that tractors
can be used profitably on many
southern farms. The results of the
inquiry are given in Farmers Bull
letin 1878, Tractors on Southern
Farms.
The bulletin is designed to be of
service to southern farmers who are
contemplating the purchase of trac-
ors. The experience of present own
ers is summarized with reference to
the advantages and disadvantages in
their use; the size now used on farms
of varying acreage and the sizes they
believe would be the most suitable for
their conditions; estimates of the
probable life of their tractors, cost of
operating; the kind, quality, and
quantity of work, as well as other re-
lated information.
A noticeable feature concerning
the farms reporting is their large
size as compared with other farms in
the same state, more than 80 percent
of them being larger than the aver
age for that section. The average
size of the 6S4 farms is 290 acres,
while the 1920 census gives the aver
age size of all farms in these states
as about Is acres. AS would be ex-
pected, corn and cotton are the prin-
cipal crops.
Most Of the tractors reported on
were pulling either two of three
plows. Of the total number, 2 per-
cent were one-plow size, 76 percent,
were two-plow, 20 percent were three
plow, and 2 per cent were four-plow,
The size of tractor that they believe
best for their conditions was report
ed by GIL of the owners. Two per-
cent of this number preferred 4he
one-plow size, &c percent the two
plow, 29 percent the three-plow, and
percent favored the four-plow or
larger.
The saving of time and labor made
possible by the use of the tractor
was given by nearly half the owners
as their answer to the question of
what they considered its greatest ad-
vantage. Other replies were better
work, relieving the horses of hard
labor, reduction of expenses, and the
best work possible.

DALLAS, Texas, July 26.-As a

the candidates supported by the Klan

knights Of the Lone Star State was
virtually established.

insignificant jobs such as constablcs
up to senators the office seekers who
were selected were almost all kans-
men-it was a landslide. In Antonio,
Dallas, Austin and Fort Wotth the
Klansmen ran away with the field.
The success of the K X. X. is a
result of its strong and clever organi-

was predicted sometime ago that the

politics.

The barkers still kept their stand on
