GOODS GUARANTEED TO BE AS REPRESENTED of cotton per acre. This is all as it should be. The larger yield we get per acre the oheaper we can grow the cotton. But we wish to call attention to the fact that just at this time it is far more important to ibe study ing how we may iuorease the yield of oorn per aore. There is no soaroity of cotton. But there is a great scarcity pf corii. All over the South we will be compelled to buy corn for this season. There are some local ex ceptions, but that is the general condition. Last year was not a good corn year. We did not get an average crop. The average for the South ern States is entirely too low even when we - JR raise a full yield.

It will •take twice as much as we usually make to meet the demands for next season and bring about a condition of plenty and full pros perity. Every farmer should in crease his acreage and make every effort to increase his yield per acre. First, we should select our best land for corn. This is' not the custom, but it should be. Then we should give this land extra preparation. Corn needs a deep soil. -Its roots grow long and pen etrate deep down in the soil in search for water and food. They will go from six to seven feet deep if no hard-pan interferes. If you have not broken your win their first suit finder this or any other law, which will lay it trust flat upon its back and put it out of business Jor all future time.
