The weather is still unfavora
ble for farming. The ground is
still too wet to plow.
There is being some gfm.no sold
in our community, but not as
much, as common, though later
there may be as much bought as
usual. There will be some de
crease’ in cotton acreage this year
on account of labor being scarce.
1 1 think there will be some in
’ crease in the cx/rn crop and genet
' al feed crops. Corn is high and
not much to sell by the farmers;
• Meat is high and but little on
hand to sell among the farmers.
Seed oat.s were so high that there
’ was but few sowed. There is
but Ijttlc wheat sowed in Semi
nole district. But I hear some
farmers say they arc going to
try to raise their wheat another
year. The way flour has gone
I up has causml some farmers to
think seriously over the matter.
We, as farmers, should begin to
’ study* the matter seriously and
carefully for it is becoming alarm
ing. We will necessarily be eom
’ pelled to change our mode of
farming to some extent to hold
our farms, for lands are going
1 down, washing away, the fields
being kept so clean by* the culti
vation of cotton that there is no
stubble to prevent the washing ol
the soil. Ditches and gullies are
I all over our fiekls. Ten years
more cultivation, all in cotton,
will about, fix us on th** hill sides
It is getting hand now to rent
hill side land. The tenants all
want. level, smooth land to work
and I can’t blame them for it. 11
1 were renting land I would bi*
the same way and if I could mot
get it 1 woukl go where I could.
1 Still wo could make our hill skies
as good as any* of our binds by
seeding down every other year.
There are a few laborers hire
but the farmer can not afford to
pay the price they want. Most
laborers want from 75 cents to
11.00 per day for their work, and
1 want to show here that we can
not pay* any such prices. For in
stance. you hire a man and give
him SI.OO per day. He can prob
ably cultivate 15 acres in cot
ton and if it be a good crop year
i.e will make seven bales. Now
we say* he gets 10 cents for this
seven bales of cotton.. $350.00
Labor. 12 months work.. $312.00
\nd you are loser .. .. $38.00
Count 15 sacks guano at . .$30,00
And we are out. $(58.00
Now count the rent. $2 per acre
for 15 acres and we are out 98.00
But some will say there is the
cotton seed. Well, we will say
there are 210 bushels of seed at
25 cents bushel $52.50
and we are still $45.50 in debt,
besides the furnishing stock and
tools ami feed. Now you see hov
we can make money at cotton
paying one dollar per day. Lot

IN LOVING MEMORY
Os our Dear Friend and Neigh
bor, Mr. Tom Wootten.
Whom God called from his
earthly home to the home of the
blest on March 16, 1909.
. It makes us feed sad to know
that lie is no more with us on
life’s journey and we cannot un
derstand why God calls our loved
ones from us at a time when it
seems they have the brightest
hopes and are enjoying life most.
But we know God is just and
good to all. May God help us
all to so live that when we too
are called to go we will meet
him in the stweet bye and bye,
where sad partings come no more
lie will he sadly missed in the
community where he lived so long
but most by the loved ones in
the home from which he has gone
They will feel most deeply the
loss of ham, the kind husband and
father.
His place is forever vacant in
the home which no one can fill
He cannot come back to us but
they can go to him. It was hard
to give him back to God so sud
den and at a time when we least
expected it. It makes our hearts
so sad to see our frieUds and
loved ones taken from us so sud
den. We should realize more
and more that we know not the
day nor tine hour when we too
will be called to go.
To the surviving loved ones
he lias left behind, do not think
of him as in the grave, for he is
not there; he has only crossed
over the dark river of death and
passed in through the pearly
gates and is now resting under
the shade of the trees where
flowers bloom forever and where
all in joy and happiness. His life
work on earth is ended and we
will never hear his footsteps or
gentle voice again
But amid our darkest hours
God is our best friend and will
comfort us when he takes our lov
ed ones away. May He bless the
broken hearted loved ones in this
their darkest hour of their lives,
t.he little boys who are left with
out a father, may God guide
their footsteps in paths of right
and bring them all safe to the
heavenly port, is the prayer of
A FRIEND.
