1 | Mr. Thomas Gentry has been quite
' sick but is some better.
. ! We are still having cold weath-
• er and can not do much work except
to cut and haul wood and keep good
. \ fires and eat up what we have on
i I hand and spend what little money
we have on hand from our last year's
cotton crop. We have about caught
up with our reading matter, we
: can sit by the fire and read and keep
up with the times. And the Chat
. tanooga Times and our own Sum
■ ‘ merville News and the Dallas. Tex.,
j News tells us about all that is going
I on in the United States from Wash-
I ington, D. C., to right in our own
county.
j Well I notice the farmers have be
' gun to haul in corn and flour and
\ hay already and we soon will be
hauling guano for the 1910 cotton
■ crop. The big price paid for cotton
last year I am afraid will cause more
cotton than ever to be plant
[ ed. More acreage in cotton means
, | more guano to be used and more cx
. I pense at home. Had we better not
I plant more than a Half crop of cot-
, I ton and the rest to corn and oats and
] peas. The money is what we want
. j for cotton and a half crop brings in
i i more money than a full crop. A 10
| million bale crop will bring the far
. ! mers of the cptton grow
j more mevsay man a 15 million bale
! crop. The truth of that has been
I demonstrated very plain to us in
the 1909 ettop, so now let us learn
wisdom by the past experience and
not work ourselves, women and
children to death to make a bum
per crop and then be forced to sell
may be at cents. Let us work for
our own interest. We .'Jtee farmers
have it in our own power to con
trol the price of what we produce on
I the farm, but we can not do so by
planting one thing. We must diver
sify our crops or we will fail.
Prosperity is just a head of us if we
will but take hold right, but if we do
not and still persue the one crop sys
tem ruin will soon overtake us all.
Farming on the right plan is like
religion. Wo are commanded to turn
I and live or go on and forever bo
lost. So let us look as the children
of Isreal looked at the Brazen ser
pent which Moses set up. Look and
live oi’ just go on and die.

4,000 NEGROES TO
HELP TAKE CENSUS
Washington D C —Census Director
Durand believes that, negro enumera
tors can be employed to better ad
, vantage in the coming census in
certain districts than white men.
! This applies particularly in the South
where he says 4,000 nogroes w’ll be
j, employed for that purpose, and 1,000
elsewhere.
In speaking of that subject today
Mr. Durand said:
Negroes doubtless can obtain the
information required from their race
more accurately than white enumera
tors. The white men of the South
■; recognize the desirability of employ
• I ing negroes to do work of this char-
acter among their own r:i ■. [ do
I not consider it desirable that ’-i the
■>; South negroes employed as enurner-
• I ators should be authorized to ennu-
nierate white families.”
