 Cement From Convict Labor.---If Montsom- cry county can offer materials for the manu- facture of cement and if the highway depart ment needs this cement in the construction of roads and if the convict department can furnish convict labor 1t would seem that a cement plant operated with convict labor would be a paying investment.

 The Folly Of Buying Feed.-The banks are making bad loan when they loan the mer- chant money to buy feed stuff that is shipped into Pickens county, and then loan the farmer money to buy it from the merchant. It is a double liability. It cuts the farmers credit and cuts the merchants credit and causes the county's assets to be cut. When the farmers of county are able to raise all the necessities of life thats an asset for the county. The world depends on the farmer to feed it, as well as clothe it, and when the >,rmer cannot even feed himself, things be- come dangerous--Pickens County Herald. < As Between Corn And COtt0n.-Another thing to be considered as between corn and cotton is the ease with which the former can be raised in comparison with the latter. This is no small item these days of scarce and high priced farm labor, and should be a mat ter of prime importance in planning the farming operations for the year. The small farmer who has to rely mainly on his own labor had far better take his chances with more corn and less cotton than to stake his all on cotton alone. The farmer with few hundred bushels of corn in the crib need worry little about the boil weeyil As far as the corn weevil is concerned. he can be successfully kept within bounds.-7Jackson- vile Argus aS
