Mat y farmers, banker- and husi n, s men have an idea that c niton is the mo-1 profitabe crop which can be grown in this section of the count! y. So it has become of g- ner al belief that unless a farmer plants a contain acreage in cotton he will be deprived of a ready money crop. 1" years gone by this was true, no c ut. hut in these days and times of enp divi: -ification and rotation, cotton is one of the least important crops to be grown. The statistic from the agricultural department’lor 1923 shows that the per acre return from cotton amount ed to $26.24 while that retuurned from the following crops per acre show a wonderful increase in value over cotton. Here are a few figures which are worth reading and consid ering : Irish potatoes, show a per acre re turn 6f $112.00; sweet potatoes, $63.84; tobacco, $193.30; sorghum, *57.27; sugar cane, $195.20: pea uts, $35.33; watermelons, $19.57; antaioui ".. $87.90; ,cu unbers 160.00. These records speak for : :em ,elves and should he satisfying to the farmer who has the belief that cotton is the only product which can countrybe grown in this section of the country as a redy money com modity. The sooner we reaji/.e that this country is not solely dependent up on cotton for our ready money, the sooner will we become independent! and prosperous. There are many i crops which can be grown hi this state of far more value than .hat of cotton. The time is coming when I cotton will be a very small part of; ' I the agricultural industry of this state and section of the country, j Ther will always be a demand ton and if the production is not greater than demand, the pric will remain at a profitable figure. Let us not malp* a mistake this year and over plant on cotton.

SINT AND WONDER FI L. < Some things are sill er than others, and to a good many honest people there really is nothing more like mush than the custom of sending a | valentine. But to other people—the ones who are wearing their first pair of long trousers, for instance, or the r first pair of ear rings—nothing is more exalted, more noble or more fitting. Children used to think it smart to send horrid, ugly pictures, which their elders who should have known better called “comic” valentines, to their friends. These . pictures dwelt on all the mean trails of humanity, and never mentioned any good ones. It is an encouraging sign that there aren’t so many of the-e astrocioua bine, for sale any more. Children lowadays are better brought up than he last generation was. But there is that other kiipl of aldntine with frilled, lace paper, hearts and rows, tenderly tinted ibbons «.! sweet verses —they don't ci -. t, t s out of style in the least. ‘lf y Jove me as I love you, “ „ e can cut our love in two.” 'h= was one of them.

Palpitating hearts of innoeense, go gather your rosebuds while you may! F.UILI) A FOUNDATION, TOO. There was a sign in a savings bank window the other day which said: If you dream castles in the air, save a foundation under them.” Once there was a young man who. had always dreamed of being weal thy. As a boy he pictured himself dressed in the height of fashion, snappy cut to his clothes, and all that, walking down Main street. People on the sidewalk would point him out, saying, “Yes, there’s Sam Green, young fellow, but smart. Yes, sir, smart. Owns that big house bn the hill, and has got a good pile salt ed down already. Must be worth $100,000.” So Sam, as an initial step toward wealth, saved, and after a time leached his first goal, the SI,OOO goal, after which, ’tis said the money just" grows. But about, this time Sam got a girl, and then _ he wanted to make a splurge. He wasn’t going to take her into any little two by four house;, he was going to have that house on the hill. So Sam began looking around for ways to help that sl,oos grow, and like many a thrifty, hu‘t too impatient young man, bought wildcat stock.
