SAFETY FIRST—
Tliere nve many uucertaiuties amt risks
•„ the business of farming this year
,,t we shall have to face, even if wo
iiroroed with the utmost caution and
1 ", Tn addition to tiie normal risk of
seasonal dnmnge, which we always have
in face tliere is considerable danger of
,eavv damage , by the boll weevil again
this year to the cotton crop; nnd we are
also ’ facing the probability of a very
low price again next fall.
other money crops that have been sug
gested nil have their'risks, due < to our
hack of knowledge or to imperfect mar
keting machinery, or to tho general diffi-
cultv of selling in face of the world-wide
indisposition or inability to buy.
The price of hogs is low, and though
we hope for something better in' the fu
ture, jive can but feel that there is con
siderable uncertainty about it.
Sweet potatoes seem to me one of tho
promising crops, but success with them
as a market crop depends on the building
of curing houses nnd grading, and'com
pliance with principles of marketing with
which we are not very familiar. These
arc the two promising new crops, and
the same difficulties and dangers are. to
he expected in.any other crops we under
take to substitute for cotton.
I think, however, the wise fanner \vill
use these crops, dividing his risks ns
much as possible among them.
But. there is a safe and certain market
entirely within your control for products
which we all are familiar with, and tnat
very many of us are neglecting; and
that is the market on our own farms for
food and feed products. It is a well-
known fact that within the State as. a
whole we are importing .hay, grain, meat
and other farm products that foot up an
immense sum of money that could be
kept at home, and I am convinced, that
some of our farmers are helping to swell
this total.
Let us make a sur'vey of our operations
ami see if we are neglecting to supply
this market that is our own right.
Do you buy corn or oats or other grain,
or ground feed for your stock; nnd by
this I mean the stock that your tenants
have, as well as those you keep 'in the
home barn ?
Do you buy any hay or fodder?
Do you produce feed for your cows}
It is probably wise to exchange cotton
seed for meal, or to sell it and buy Aienl;
but we can reduce the amount that will
have to be handled thiB way by producing
*^nore hay, and by growing velvet beans,
and by raising home-made wheat bran.
Do you buy any meat or lard for your
self or your tenants?
Do you buy any flour or meal?
Do you buy milk or butter or eggs or
chickens, or other food which these
would replace?.
Do you produce all' the vegetables
which could be profitably used on your
farm? . '
In a word, are you or are you not
spending money on food or feed that you
could produce at borne?
If so you are neglecting the market
at your own door, which is. absolutely
within your control, to look for one that
is beyond your control. And probably
you will find that when you make pro
vision for this piarket you will have so
far reduced your production, of stuff
that has to be marketed to others as to
improve the market for that to the point
where it will be profitable. ,
Go over your cropping, plans now be
fore it Is too late, and see if you cannot
use some of your land and labor in pro
viding for tills market which involves
no risks, or at least minimise* the risks
and uncertainties of farming.

A CLEAN TOWN MEANS HEALTH
FOR ITS PEOPLE.
We hear a'good deal about “civic
pride,” the “town beautiful,” a
“clean-up week,” and similar expres
sions; but do, we always think of a
clean town in its relation to health?
If we do i not we should, for disease
germs lurk and hide in filth, in trasli
heaps, in. waste from the kitchen or
table, in unscreened garbage puils and
unseppred sinks; but, most of all, in
unsanitary outhouses. These germs just
wait, for a light breeze to' come along
and help them travel long distances until
they find resting places oil our food, in
our throats and noses, or even on our
Very tongues when we open our lips to 1
speak or for any other purpose. There
fore, to protect ourselves .from .these de
structive, enemies we should make our
home; surroundings so clean that tho
lurking germs, ready and eager to fly
as they alaways, are, will have no place
in which to live and grow.
Now, this sounds very well, of course,
but the thing to do is not to talk about
the subject, or even to think abdnt it,
but to get busy right now- and plan for
a “Clean-Up Week.”
The very first step is to discuss tiie
subject with our nearest neighbors, for
unless they clean up when we do we can
not hope for much improvement, because
germs do not choose special garbage
pails to breed in or any other special
spots, but they just take those which are
nearest.
Now, having taken the first and most
important step, we may consider the re
maining days of the week as follows—
Monday we will call “Fire Prevention
Day,” for, beginning with the attic, we
should clean it of all trash and rubbish,
greasy rags, waste paper and other
filings which we don’t need. This should
-also be done in the basement, as trash
often' causes fire, and should therefore
be. disposed of.
Tuesday the front yard may be given
attention. Grass should be cut, flower
beds planted, walks and gutters cleaned,
and the cracks filled with salt to pre
vent ants.
Wednesday we may continue the good
work begun on Tuesday by making this
Weed Day ’ ’ and uproot all weeds
from the lawn, and from the back-yard
as well as from the front, and should
trim the hedges and bushes.
Thursday is a good day for “Paint
Day.” Then porches, woodwork, fences,
and as much of the house as is possible
should be painted, with special attention
to kitchen floors, shelves, and all un
sightly spots.
Friday may be devoted to cleaning
alloys, scouring and screening garbage
cans, setting fly-traps near them, ex
amining outhouses and doing general
screening, so this might be called
Screening Day. ’ ’
Saturday has been called “Vacant
Lot Day,” for the Boy Scouts are home
from school on that day and can help in
the good work by cleaning vacant lots,
getting waste paper and other trash to
gether in heaps, and making glorious
bonfires of them. This work should al-,
ways bo supervised by some oldor per
son, and the unburnable trash should be
hauled away in wagons. The Boy Scouts
are the citizens of tomorrow, and they
should be, made to. feel that it is their
'town and thus merits its help.
One full week may be devoted to this'
work, and then there still may be work
left to be done. Of course, what is not
accomplished may be left over to next
week, for there is no more important
undertaking than that involved in milk
ing your town and mine a healthful and
therefore a happy place for us and our
children to live in.
In many places the “Community
Council” is taking up the question with
the mayor and other city officials, nnd
in a town like onrs, where the mayor is
alive to local needs, we may feel certain,
of his co-operation and approval of all
that is done along the lines of cleaning
up the town.
There are thousands do tell you it can
not be done;
There are thousands to prophesy fail
ure;
Raymond girls’ club—
It would seem that the girls at Ray
mond are more fortunate than some of
toe girls, when I say the women ■ and
teachers give, such wonderful help. The
women have a room which they have fur
nished very conveniently. They have a
three-burner oil stove, some nice alumi
num utensiie, and dishes sufficient to
serve meals. Of course, It may not be
considered ideal in all respects, but they
improve it from time to time, and the
girls are getting the benefit of it be
fore they grow old, while they might
wart to have an ideal kitchen. The club
has ten members, and this includes every
girl of club age .except one, who did not
nave the ground for her gardens Every
member has been present at 'each meet-.
mg except two, and good reasons for
weir absence were given.
