It may be the failure lies in the careless at'SHtion giv en to .heir culture. Many think that au _v sort of land and any kind of prep aration is pood enough for oats. To ,ow oats, late in the spring, on poor nnpr pared land, is trouble aud expense without any hope of a reward. Sowing the poorest lan 1 in oats is an old prac tice, and like o f hor habits not easv to ignore. Tradition governs us often, even when our better judgement tells ns it isn't the wisest course. We are great imitators. There is very Hide originality in any one. We start out copying, from the beginning, and this is kept up, with little digress ion through life. Imitation shapes all society and gives form to our habits. People are classed according to their ability to imitate. The world moves on imitating in ail the various spheres of life. There is much speculation concerning what the price of cotton will be next fall. We have been asked many times what ws thought about it. No one can tell or form any certain conclusion ox- cept those who control the groat vol ume of money th it goes into tho cotton crop. Our opinion is, there is no safety in making the coming crop above a five cent basis. 1 all will do this, there is hardly a possibility of a loss and, per haps, much may be gained. There is nothing like being on the safe side. Tho grauci jury ot this county, Wal ton, was au honorable business body, having dispensed their offi-inl duty in seven days.
