INCREASE PRICE OF COTTON
Christian IViv.iitor Says Upward Ten
dency of Price of Staple Is Nat
ural and Wholesome.
In regard to the higher price of cot
)ton, the Christian Monitor, published
in Boston, prints the following;
After the complaints from spinners
and others who are interested in
Cheapening the price o i cotton to their
lown advantage, It is certainly cheering
■md refreshing to read the following
Hpm a paper published in Boston, tbs
Kdsitan Science Monitor. Here is
say relative to the in
price 5* cotton:
M great southern staple bar been
a steady advance since the
’ 9 ® s - Every recession, from
wMßver cause, has left the price per
imSnently some points higher. About
the time the Atlantic Cotton Sik'CM ex
position was being promoted a person
[would have been set down as a dream
er if he had predicted that within fif
teen” years the price of the staple
would go beyond ten cents. Today the
Isouth is familiarizing itself gracefully
with a higher figure, and conservative
men are looking forward confidently to
a continuation of the advance. The
Same causes that have raised the price
of nearly every other raw product are
behind the steady Increase in the quo
tations of cotton. The principal of
these, of course, is the steady increase
In consumption. Cotton Is entering Into
Snore uses than ever before. It Is in
more universal demand. On the other
band, the south is not producing cotton
anywhere up to its capacity. There is
p. decided disposition among southern
farmers of the more intelligent class to
prevent the cheapening of the stapl e
by over-production. The movement for
•the diversification of southern crops
has exercised a considerable influence,
itoo. On the whole, the upward ten
dency of cotton is natural and whole
some, and one of the many things at
this time adding to the sum of tha
south’s prosperity.”
FARMER WHO ROBS HIMSELF
'Diversified Farming and Rotation of
Crops Improves Instead of De
stroying Productiveness.
The farmer who makes a practise
fcf raising grain exclusively, hauling
lit to the elevator and selling it, Is
robbing himself, or, in other words,
depleting the fertility of the farm,
Isay the American Swineherd.
, Every year as the crop is gathered
; and sold off the place it is left with
decreased productive power for the
[future. It Is like mining or digging
lout the value of the soil and shipping
ito the market. It is selling your farm
Krtually through the elevator.
It may take several years before
u get to the bottom, but It is a
Inous policy and one that must
[either now or later be checked, or we
'.will have repeated the same condi
tions that more than a thousand
[years ago took place in Rome, where
the soil was so exhausted that one
ibushel of seed wheat could only pro
duce four bushels in return. While
they were great warriors, orators,
Statesmen and scientists, they neglect
ed agriculture, the real basis of pros
perity, and their nation went to the
idogs.
Selling the corn by the hog route
for through any other live stock is re-
Itatatag the fertility. By a proper
isystem of diversified farming and ro
itation of crops you can build up and
I Improve instead of destroying the
(productiveness.
GOOD METHODS IN FARMING
Gradually Farmers Are Being Taught
to Abandon Old-Fashioned Ideas
and Take Up Modern.
The farmer's capital being the soil
or that portion of his ‘‘land” that is
used for the production of crops. It is
most Important to the producer that
he should understand thoroughly and
deterininately what are the constitu
ent parts composing this soil, so that
he can In his farming know just how
-and why such matters should be add
ed or taken from his particular soil,
if he expects to gain the most from
his labor.
In the past, no attention has been
given to this, but the farmers con
tinued from year to year to cultivate
the same soil in the same old way
without considering the probability of
the exhaustion of the fertility of the
soil that had been placed in it when
it was in a state of nature. It has
bdten hard work to arouse the pro
ducers of farm products and induce
them to study new methods and adopt
such as have been proven the best by
men who, . having segregated the
facts from the experience of practical
and thoughtful men, stand ready to
furnish the information that will re
store in a way all the necessary quali
ties to the soil that will make it "just
as good as new.”
While the efforts of the United
States department of agriculture to
arouse the farmers to a realization of
the great importance of following the
instructions that will produce the best
results has been nearly a thankless
job in the past, still here and there
some have grasped the idea and have
applied such principles as were neces
sary to their own condition with suc
cess. Gradually through constant les
sons and constant lectures, there has
grown up a disposition among more
and more of the farmers'to follow the
new teachings and to abandon the old
and futile methods that had been
handed down to them from the fa
thers. —.—
the causes for this
may be mentioned the organization of
the Farmers' union, the Farmers’ con
gress, the Cotton Growers' association
and kindred associations for the bet
ter protection and education of their
class along better lines. These organ
izations have through their methods
educated their membership slowly it
may be true, but surely, until today
there Is a general awakening along
the line, and the future is bright with
hope for the rejuvenation of all v the
farmers in the south at least.
MUCH CORN IN MISSISSIPPI
; State Will Make Largest Crop This
Year in History—One Hundred
Bushels to Acre.
The Mississippi agent of the bureau
of statistics makes the following com
ment in regard to the corn crop of
that state:
Mississippi will this year make the
largest corn crop In the history of the
Btate—or within my knowledge at
least. The crop Is made and largely
gathered and the yield will be large.
In many sections on small acreages
more than one hundred measured
bushels per acre have been gathered.
For the first time considerable corn
will be shipped from the county In
which it was made. Recently parties
went before the railroad commission
In this state and asked for and de
ceived rates on corn to elevators, etc.
Heretofore there was so little com
made for shipping that the rates were
never asked for.
Foal Shows.
Enterprising owners of stallions
who have established foal shows
where the produce of their horses
meet in competition have been sur
prised at the interest taken in them.
In some localities foal shows, open
to the get of all stallions, are held
as the result of the boost given at
the start by some wide-awake stal
lion owner. Competition in such
cases Is quite keen, and it is not un
common to see a score of foals Uned
up for inspection. One of the best
features Is the fact that good wean
lings thus shown find ready buyers.
In eastern Ohio the second-prize draft
colt in one show was sold for sl£o,
and the general average Is $75 to
SIOO for well-bred draft weanlings In
that locality. It will pay stallion own
ers to consider the foal show as a
means of demonstrating the value of
their horses and encouraging the pro
duction of good colts as well as find
ing a market for them.
To Insure Crop Failure.
The best way to insure crop failure
is grow grain year after year; let the
farm get weedy; let the weeds pump
out moisture both when crop is grow
ing and after it is cut; plow shallow,
and not to harrow right after plow
ing and if it is fall plowing not to
harrow early In spring. To make it
still more effective do not apply any
manure or plow under any green crops
or rotate the crops.
Soils for Alfalfa.
Good crops of alfalfa seed may be
produced on a variety of soils, rang
ing from black gumbo to sandy loam,
but the general experience is that the
soil should be well drained and of
average fertility. Very fertile land
and soil supplied with an abundance
of moijture, produces plants, but not
seed.

McLean Met His Match.
John R. McLean stepped In front of
a lurching Irishman one evening,
and obstructed the sidewalk so that
the Irishman was obliged to stop and
look at him. McLean said:
“Here’s that half dollar I borrowed
of you. Now you must quit telling
the neighbors that I never pay my
debts.”
Half drunk and wholly dazed, the
Irishman took piece, looked
at it Intently, and then said:
“Be dad, yez can’t get off thot alsy.
It wor a whole dollar thot yez
borryd; so fork over.”
And he forked over another half
dollar, and went his way, laughing
heartily at the quick wit of the Irish
man. —Illustrated Sunday Magazine.

Weak and delicate ladies need Cardui, to bring roses
into their pale cheeks and energy into their weary frames.
Read this letter from Mrs. Albert Root, of Amanda, Ohio,
giving an account of her experience, and how she found
relief:
“1 was hardly ever without a headache, and often had
a misery in my back and sides," she writes. “I was sick
in bed half the time, and suffered a great deal from neu
ralgia of the stomach. Since taking Cardui, the woman’s
tonic, I have gained 10 pounds, and now I can do all of
my own house-work, and washing, and my friends say I
ook like a different person."
