COUNTY AGENTS NOTES

Some of the more thoughtful
farmers of the county are pre-
pairing their land now for another
crop next year. Are you one OF
lie number, Nj. Farmer? Are
you getting all you can out OF
your acres this year, without a
lhG~gnr of making them better for
next crop? A farmers land is
his capital stock and II he can
improve it each year mis- capital
is maxine interest and will, IN a
few years. be worth a good bit
above par, but if he continually
let's his crops draw from the soils
and never makes an effort to re-
place some of the elentaints OF
plant food, his capital stock will
soon be far below par. AS an
illustration, let me give you some
facts and figures: One farmer IN
Rankin County has three acres OF
land towards which he has tried
TO deal fairly and make it capable
of producing a bigger crop each
succeeding wear. This year he has
already Melted from these three
acres ONE THOUSAND DOL
LARS. above all expenses OF
fut tilizers, marketing and etc.
| can carry you to this farm any
day. On another farm is man
cultiva ting twenty acres, and at
TIE present price of the products
growing on this land, he will not
make a gross income of ONE
HUNDRED DOLLARS on the en-
tire twenty acres. Perhaps you
will say, "He is figuring two
different kinds of crops, but it
is easy to see which of these
tanners owns some stock that is
paying a good dividend and will
soon be in a position to not have
to work so hard, and which will
always have to "dig" for a living.
Farmers, this is tne biggest prob
lem you have before you today.
If we could produce not less than
$4,000 per acre, good roads would
be here. If every farmer in the
county would make it his rule to
improve a certain number of acres
every year the general average
ever the county would be as
tonishing. Some of these farmers
are beginning now, and have been
for years, preparing for the next
years crop by planting peas,
beans, clover, peanuts and other
legumes That will produce large
qu-ctities of food and feed at
the same time and leave the soil
in an improved condition. It is
not too late to plant some of these,
try to put some such crop on every
available acre; keep an eye on the
terraces and bitches so as to not
ltsa a particle of the top soil
from rains; make a new resolu-
ton that YOU just simply will not
spend your entire lifetime cult
waiting lands that do not pay a
dividend on the capital stock.

THE DAY THAT NEVER DIES

No day of the Christian calendar
is on par with that of Christmas,
but next to it the Fourth of July
is the one most indelibly fixed
in the minds of all American peo-
pie.
Ii signifies LIBERTY, and
liberty is our most cherished in
heritSirce, bequeathed So us by
our sturdy fortfathers and main--
tanned by our own strength and
determination.
July 4th is great day for flag
waving, spsech making, and gem
eral iollifcation 1t is our method
of signifying our undinlinished
admiration of and gratitude to the
heroes of 1776 who won imperlshn-
able fame by freeing our struggl-
ING colonies from the oppressive
role of foreign king.
Great events of history become
dim in the minds of men as time
flies on, but independence Day re,
mains ever green in memory and
the deads of its creators never
die.

A COTTON FAMINE
is PREDICTED SOON
WALL ST. JOURNAL

Cotton prices show substantial
advance in the past ten days. spot
cotton, near and distant months,
all show an advance. Liverpool
also is buying at advancing prices
for deliveries as far ahead as
January. Rising prices in a single
commodity indicates a shortage IN
supply. -.
Cotton is fundamental of civili--
cation and furnishes the world
with one of it's greatest industries;
That there should be a we'll
grounded fear of a shortage IN
the raw material does not speak
we'll for our methods of handling
the crop. 1t is true that the weevlll
is the menace of today, but it need
not have been. Cotton, the Maud
Muller of agriculture, can LOOK
back upon the past and say II
might nave been."
Back of all that cotton repre-
.sents-the worlds clothing, mil
ions of capital invested and wages
paid-is the planter. Should he
fall down, the whole industry
would topple. And yet, there IS
no other producer IN America so
little considered as he, and one
has been forced to toll for SO small
a return that often cannot be dis
tinguished from loss. Because
of this the cotton planter has not
been able 10 use the best methods
of farming. Improved cultivation
methods and scientific plant
breeding. The weevil could have
been controlled, and the yield OF
cotton per acre increased. But
this could not be done without a
proper remuneration to the pro-
Queer. In consequence. the world
now faces the danger of a short
age, and possibly a famine, in the
cotton supply.
There is no better authority on
cotton today than Sir Charles w.
Macara, of Manchester. In letter
10 Harvie Jordan. of the American
Cotton Association, he says, IN
part:
Zone would think it would be
the first concern of anyone. engag-
ed in business to see that his raw
material was placed beyond the
possibility of doubt. But those
who spin cotton seem to have little
anxiety as to the supplies upon
which their existence depends. A
fatal inertia exists, and | see moth
ing but some great upheaval that
IS likely to bring people to their
senses. The state of things ex..
listing in the cotton fields OF
America must give rise to the
gravest anxiety in the mind OF any
or, who has the welfare OF his
trade and his fellow men at heart. "
After referring to the conditions
existing in our Civil War days,
and once later when, Lancashire
had to curtail production one-third
and spread wages over IL months,
Sir Charles further says
eve shall have to get the SPIN
ners of the world to view the cot
ton industry on comprehensive
lines. The planter must be
regarded as of some Importance
as others who touch cotton, and
his rewards will have to be con-
sidered Just as much as spinner,
manufacturer. finisher, middle
mant merchant or shipper. All
are indispensable to the product
ion of the finished article and all
mist be sufficiently compensated.
eff America is obliged to go
out of business as a cotton pro-
Queer where will the world get
It's future supplies?'
These are but short extracts
from his statement, but they are
serious and weighty words, and

AS THE EDITOR SEES 1T

The most desirable of reputa-
ti0'GS are the easiest to lose. 1t
requires years Of correct living to
build them up, and but an in
cautious moment to destroy them.
Too many men seem to forget
tina they are judged not by wnat
they really are, but by what they
seem to be. Their actions and
tLeir words are the only things
that count.
The little things of life are of
v2St Importance. They indicate
The character that lies beneath the
polished surface, and it is from
them that the most lasting impress
si0ns are formed.
A sacctimonious countenance is
not indicative Of clean heart. 1t
is g cloak under which many dis
reputable deeds are performed.
4 cheerful smile, a truthful
tClgus and an honest heart are
all that any person requires.
Character is built from these,
and reputation is but the after
