Sardis Items.
We have had splendid weather for
farm work during the past week, and
farmers are busily engaged planting corn,
The general tendency is to increase the
acreage of the corn crop and plant less
cotton,
The truth oi the old adage: ‘“Tis an
ill wind, indeed, that blows no good,” is
illustrated in this.
The low price of cotton last season,
though very embarrassing to the farmers
at that time, has induced them to cur
tail the cotton, and give more attention
to the food crops.
But there are a few, only a few, who
still believe, or (to be more accurate),
hope cotton will demand a higher price
the coming season, but when asked to
give their reasons for this belief they re
ply, “Oh-er-well, I don’t know, I don’t
think the price of cotton can go any
lower.”” A poor argument. We can only
predict the future by the past. The price
of cotton steadily declines, year after
year; why it declines need not be dis
cussed here. We are painfully conscious
of the fact that it is so.
“All that happens is for the best.”
Maybe it is. But a man has to draw
largely upen his imagination to believe
this at all times.

In this community we do not stop to
discuss the misfortunes of the past, but
whatever happens or doesn’t happen, we
believe in pushing forward.
The farmers are industrious, energetic

comfortable, and are ever ready to assist
in any enterprise that tends toward ele
