Sllll Kedui in* Acreage.
Members of the Furinors’ I’nion
planted considerably less land to
the plow in cotton tins year than j
usual in the hope of checking the
tendency towards overproduction.
The planting season over now and
the matter of reducing t he acreage j
everybody thought was over too.!
Not so, however. The papers stntei
that in various sections members
of the I'nion are plowing tip in
some instances as much ns ten perl
cent, of the cotton already plant-j
ed.
This land that is being plowed j
Up is now being planted in food |
crops. This is a move in the right
direction —as long as there is hay 1
in the born, corn in tin* crib and i
meat m the smoke house there is
nothing to fear. There will then
be plenty of cotton made to pay
all necessary debts that may stare ;

Many have away of living that,
makes it diflicult to determine
whether they are living or Buffer

ers may be included with this
class of people Notice their tu-
I le, and from their bill of fare!
they fare, if would seem, not very j
pleasantly. In many instances j
then 1 is no cow to furnish nnlk |
lnd butter for the family, nor
•even a garden to furnish vegeta- j
bios. From all appearances at ,
the table it would seem that the ,
husband had either “retired from j
business” or had become a promi
nent member of that ancient or
ganization known by the familiar
name of “sons of rest,”
Something is wrong somewhere,
and they know it. They feel like ,
that at least a part of the blame
must be laid upon their shoulders.
A guilty conscience writes its ver-!
diet upon the countenance. They
cannot look their wives mid eliil- ,
dren straight in the face for feat |
of its detection.
Yes, brother farmer, something
i* wrong, and the trouble is you've
got tilings out of joint. You work
hard enough—too hard—but you i
are wasting a good deal of your
time and work in the ovorproduc- :
t ion of cotton when you could
plant loss cotton, realise a bettei
price for it, and have time then to j
look after the forage crops, corn,
oats, potatoes, ground pens, and a 1
garden which w ill pay you bettei
t han any other part of your farm i
of the same size. You would
quite likely then be able to have a
