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 ms see if we can hire it. made at 50 cents a day or sl3 a month.

Then if we are not making a profit should we not change our mode of farming. 1 answer, yes. G. A. RAGLAND. | Or >' 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.
