FOR BACKACHE
GRADES OF COTTON
FIXED BY REPORT.
Washington.-Recommending that
the standards of the different
grades of cotton as fixed by
them be adopted as the official
classification of the government,
the committee of expert cotton
classifiers designated by the sec
retary or agriculture to assist
him in establishing a standard,'
have made their report to the ]
latter. The committee has made
up types representative of the
nine different grades to be des
ignated middling fair, strict good
middling, good middling, mid
dling, strict low middling, low
middling, strict good ordinary,
and good ordinary to be the of
ficial standard
The recommendation is made
that in view of the confusion that
might arise in case the standards
were promulgated at once, that
they should not go into effect un
tin September 1, 1910, it also is
recommended that efforts should
be made to secure the eo-operatio
of foreign exchanges in connect
ion with the standards.
The further recommendation it
made that congress enact legisla
tion penalizing anyone tampering
with the standards, which are to
be kept locked up at the depart
ment of agriculture. Secretary
Wilson still has the report of the
committee under advisement.
FIGURE IT OUT
A banker going home from his
dinner saw a $lO bill on the curb
stone. He picked it up and noted
the number and went home to dii
ner. While at home his wife re
marked that the butcher had sent
a bill amounting to $lO. The only
money he had with him was the
bill he had found, which he gave
to her, and she paid the butcher.
The butcher paid it to a farmer
for a calf, and the farmer paid it
to a merchant, who, in turn, paid
it to a washerwoman, and she, ow
ing the banker a note of $lO, wen
to the bank and paid the note.
The banker recognized the bill as
the one he had found, anil whicl
up to that time had paid SSO of
debts, he discovered the bill was
counterfeit. Now will some friend
tell us what, has been lost in this
transaction, and by whom? —U.

The Mistake of too Much Land. 1
The mistake is very generally
made by Southern farmers of
trying to cultivate too much land ~
To one who travels much in the j ,
South at this season with his eyes
open, and observes the diminival (
cotton plants of last year’s growtl
and the slender corn stalks in
many of the fields the evidence
is conclusive that much of the '
land has not produced enough to
pay the cost of cultivating.
It would be better to fence out
these unprofitable portions and
use them for what they are worth
as stock range, and concentrate
the labor and expense of cultivat
ing them upon more fertile por
tions o fthe land.
There is a mistaken pride in
having a large number of acres
in cultivation. We would not
limit anyone’s capacity for large
affairs, but there is no occupa
tion that requires such close at
tention to every detail by the
owner as the work of the farm
if the best results are to be ob
tained from it. Better get two
bales from one acre than the same
amount by spreading the work
over six acres. Better obtain 100
bushels of corn from one acre thar
cultivate half a dozen with the
same result.
There is very little land that
is not worth something as pasture
or range for stock of some kind
and whatever value can be ob
tained from it in that way is
without extra expense, and adds
that much to the profits in the
final wind up at the end of
the year.
The farmers who are succeeding
best are those who are putting
more work and better cultivation
on smaller areas. Give more at
tention to details and always witl
the end in view to improve the
fertility.—Southern Fruit Grow

No Great Rush
A number of weeks after an old
man was appointed postmastei
of a small village, says a writer
in the Philadelphia Bulletin, the
villagers and their friends began
to complain about the mails. An
inspector investigated the matter
. and found out that the postmaste
had sent out no mails siuce his
> entrance into office, and pointing
to the hundred dusty letters that
the postmaster had kept by him,
said, sternly
"Why on earth didn’t you let
I these go?”
"I was waiting till I got the
i bag full,” said the old man, with
a gentle smile.

Fifteen indictments were re
turned by the Ware county grand
jury against alleged night riders,
for taking part in the recent
shooting up of the town of Beach
that county. In the trouble, Miss
Maggie Taylor, aged 14. was shot
nad seriously wounded. The in
dictments charge a misdemeanor
riot and assault with intent to
murder. The indictments are
against five young men. who.
it is alleged, rode into the little
town at night and fired over five
hundred bullets from pistols, fir
ing into houses at random, and
into groups of persons on the
streets, throwing the entire com
munity into terror.

PEACH CROP SAFE,
SAYS MR. HUDSON
The recent cold weather that
prevailed over Georgia and was •
keenly felt in the northern por- i
tion will not damage the peach
crop, according to reports re
ceived by State Commissioner of
Agriculture, Thomas G. Hudson.
‘‘The premature buds that were
slightly damaged did not include
one percent of the entire crop
and the bios soms that were hurt
w’ere those which would have
been a burden to the trees and
would naturally have fallen off
when the peaches formed,” says
the state commissioner.
”The cold helped the crop
more than anything else could
have done as it has prevented
more serious damage which would
have followed if the weather con
tinued warm and cooler weather
followed later.”
Kindness is one or the purest
traits that find a place in the hu
man heart. It gives us friends
where ever we may chance to wai
der. To show kindness it is not
necessary to gi e large sums of
money or to perform some won
derful deed that will immortalize
your name. It is the word of
sympathy to the discouraged and
disheartened. Kindness makes
sunshine wherever it goes; it is
the real law of life, the link that
connects earth with heaven.
Would you live in the remem
brance of others after you are
gone? Write your name on the
tablets of their hearts by acts of
kindness and love. The noblest
revenge we can make upon our
enemies is to do them a kindness, i

Your Cotton Crop Can Be Increased
It costs no more to cultivate an acre that produces i
two bales of cotton than an acre which produces only
one-quarter of a bale. Why not see what you can do i
with
Virginia-Carolina
Fertilizers
Other men have been able to double and more than double
their yield per acre with a liberal application of Virginia-Carolina
Fertilizers.
Messrs. Lucas & Jackson of Kelsey County, Tenn., used Vir
ginia-Carolina Fertilizer on about 55 acres planted with cotton, and
say: “We have the finest crop of cotton we ever saw, and all the
people around here think the same. We actually counted 447 bolls
on one stalk. Another stalk had by actual count 409 bolls, forms,
squares and blossoms. On about 8 acres we expect to make about
2 bales to the acre, and an estimate of adjoining farms not so fer
tilized and under other cultural methods, will yield only 1 bale to
five acres.”
An interesting picture of the cotton plants referred to will be
found in the new 1909 Virginia-Carolina Farmers’ Year Book, copy
of which may be had from your fertilizer dealer, or will be sent
free, if you write our nearest sales office.
