Not any plow ing done last week —ground still too wet. Rev. B. F. Guille filled his ap pointment at Walnut Grove Sun day. Some farmers are buying fine mules. Well I say fine, they ought to be. The price now for common young mules is from $l5O to S2OO. Pretty good price for mules and cotton still below 10 cents. If good young mules were SIOO and cotton 10 cents it would look more like live and let live. If a mule is worth $l5O cotton ought to be 15 cents. If a mule is worth S2OO then cotton ought to be 20 cents a pound. If corn or meal is 50 cents a bushel then cotton will sorter do at 10 cents. I think prices should be in proportion. But they are not ami the best way to do in the future to get everything bal anced up and in proportion and in good shape is to make the farm self supporting. Try rais ing our mules, corn and in fact all we need on the farms. By so doing then our cotton crop will be a surplus crop and we all will be ok. But unless we make the needed change in running ouj farms to advantage they will run down and times will*l>e no better I know men who make from 15 to 20 bales of cotton every year and by January or February they are out of money and have to borrow or buy on a credit. Buy corn, buy meat, buy hay, and buy fodder and are all the time in debt. Now these things should not be. But it is the case. Why not face about and turn before it is too late and before you lose al] you have and put yourself and family into bondage forever May something cause us all to turn and live on the farm. G. A. Ragland. Washington Once Gave Up to three doctors; was kept in bed for five weeks. Blood poison from a spider’s bite caused large and deep sores to cover his leg.
