HOW TO LIVE AT HOME While some Anderson county plant er? may not appreciate fully thc ad vice isBued hy the United State? de partment of agriculture, there are dozens who do not, thescfore un ob en letter which lian been received in this county from one o? the heads w'-l be of Interest. The letter came to J. W Rot ll rock, county farm demonstrator from Brad ford Knapp, head of the farm dem onstration work und successor to his father. Dr. Seaman A. Knapp, and lt says in part: In every emergency a plan of action i? a great help. The pri?e of food product? is high and there 1B every indication that they will remain BO du ring the next year The war in Eu rope has disturbed production abroad and has Interferred with consumption and with market? and flnanclul condi tions In thia country- This ?tate of af fair?, familiar to every one makes it imperative that every farmer and ev ery community should plan for next year'? work accordingly. The Department suggests to the cot ton farmers the following things to consider for the next year: 1. Home Garden for Every Family Thc.home garden IK ons of the most Important means of cutting down ex penses and producing the living of thu family on the farm. Set aside a good, rich piece of land near the house tri this purpose. Prepare it with extra care and apply manure liberally. Se cure from your county agent, youi ag ricultural college or the United SU'teB department of agriculture, directions for making a garden, not only in t he summer but early and late in the year. Get in touch with the Girls' Canning Club work and arrange to cr.n the vegetables and fruits for thr winter use. 8. Produce all the Cont for Your Own Use-Get good seed cern and fol low the instructions of your county agent in raising a good crop next year. Figure how many b^?*"?'s you will need ror your own use and some to sell, am' o t your acreage in ac- < cordlnglr- v JU will need corn for ? ''ie f'.tding tu your livestock and your i iamily. and a reasonable surplqB. . , S. Produce Yopr Own Hay and i Forage Crops-If you can obtain seed 1 at a reasonable price sow crimson or ' burr clover, vetcli..or some other winter , legume. If unable to do this, put. in j oats or rye this fall, peas or beans in i the spring, or use sorghum, kofir corn c milo, or some other crop adapted to { your climate and soil. Consult your 5 county agent, your agricultural college t or the United States department of t agriculture. e 4. Produce Enough Chickens ??ad j Hogs to Make Your Own Meat-As a t ru!? our Southern farmers have too \ few ciitckens. Pay some attention to * them. With a little work they can be r produced cheaply, and enough of them [ will save the necessity of purchaalng \, meat. Every family should plan to raise a few head of hogs and the crops t accessary to feed them. The county a ?gent will help you with the plans In * :hls direction. Savo your brood sows md hens and pullets. Tou cannot af ford to sell any breeding stock. M?r tet a part of your corn crop and your peas and peanuts through hogs aud :hlcken*. Do not bo tempted to sell letters or COWB; breed them to good Peet type bulls and grow your own neat. ku Cat Down Your Fertiliser Bills ?y Saving all Manure and by Planting Dover Crops? Especially Winter Le fumes IS (he Seed Caa Be Obtained Buy fertiliser for next year eareful y. Purchase only high grade mater ais of the kind you need. Some hinds >f fertilising material may be high priced. Do not use that kind unless rou know that your land requires it .'.-ops turned under add fertility to the toll and save fertiliser bills. Landlords should seo that their ten mts follow Instructions and grow as such aa posible of their supplies, as luggested above. Next year la the Im portant year for all Ute tannera in he cotton territory to make up their ninda to "live at heme'* as nearly as possible. Every dollar saved on ad ranee* will be so mucb gained at the md of the year; every dollar borrowed m advances has to be paid back out of he cotton crop. S. Plant Less Acreage la Cotton A'hy? BecauBo food products will re nain high and cotton will probably re nata low If the war last*. Do not ran my chances. Follow a safe plan, fou will need the extra acreage to pro luce the food ero ps. It is estimated hat between three and four million >alea ot cotton will have to' bo car ded over out of the present crop. A lonna! acreage in cotton next year, md no Increase in food crops, will lertatnly mean high priced food and ow priced cotton. You cannot afford o be compelled to purchase high pric ed products out of a very narrow mar tin of profit la the cotton crop. Eeon >my lr raising what cotton is planted s of supreme Importance.

The cotton mills o* this county and i of the whole United States are put j In as bad circumstances by condil'ons brought on by tit ; war in Europe as are the farmers >vho r?:isc thc eotton. ! This ls the sentiment of the president j of one of the large mills of this coun^ ty. Ho points out that, while the market for cotton' has (allen off 3 or 4 cents per pound, thc prk* cf man ufactured cotton chilli ha?: been re duced 9 cents p?r pound; thar. is. so far as the output, of dis mill is con cerned. Similar condition!] effect other mllls>. Even In uormal times, the business of running a cation mill has undergone a vast change within the past 15 yearn, fifteen;years ago ^h? price of cotton did not chango more than one-half cent pnr pound tri-two months or more, but now it often changes as much as 4 cents In that time. This makes it impassible for the mill to buy its year's supply of cotton at one ' line, because to buy cotton at a high price might mean that another mill would huv lt at a lower price and sell cloth cheaper, causing the financial ruin of the for mer mill. For the sam-? reason, the middlemen in New York and other Mnts in thc north cannot hay a large ount of cloth from the cotton mills advance. The mill spoken of has had to Increase Its warehouse room for storing bales of cloth many times Its former size. It is thus easily seen lu;?- thc present slack market and uncertainty work a great hardship on the cotton raPls. The mills ot thin county manufacture largely wido and narrow print 'Cloths, for walch at present there is almost nc demand at all. .The., mili-i in many instances arc now running at nraueta) h>ft<, ' but they feel !t their moral duty to run on account of the "oeratlvov and the farmers of the "cuth. lt ls also bet ter for thom *o run because a large expense would oo lneurr<ri if lue .ma-' chinery wer* stoppt.- not to spcik of.taxai. Insurance and interest i capital invested. The working capital of a mill at the present time ts neces sarily much reduced on account , ot the. large amount of money tied up In cloth stored In the warehouses be cause of lack of demand. This mill president says that the im pression that the milla do not -went [he price of cotton to be high is all wrong; that ho told one of his boy are yesterday that he would be very happy to know that the price, ?of cot ton had been Axed at 12 cents. High priced cotton means li igh-priced cloth, and has the effect of steadying the market all around. The milla just at this time have a special reason Tor wanting to seo the. price of cotton advar.ee, because they are for the most part manufacturing cloth nt :otton which they palTSora 10 to 12 cents for. To nell tho cloth nr.w be log made at present prices means great money loss. Cotton of Uniform Staple. Another impression "oinmonly hold among farmers is that the. tullis of the county, if thev would, could use cotton grown in this county, ; Tilla la oot true, because each mill has ,to have a certain length of staple of a certain, tensile ?,tr*vti?t?i for their looma . If they could the ndjle would gladly tax? their cotton off the local market and save the freight they &aye, to pa/ on it tt is pointed oat that Chet farmers of thh, co?htv could raise tho sort of st aol e m"r.itly used tf they would seeure the -proper eeetf. David R. Coker, ot HartavtHe, groWa this sort of cotton and the mill men tioned used much of it last year. The I farmers should realize that each mill bas to have cotton of a unlfora grade and take more pains to gro?* ?hts sort of cotton. The mill mer. ioned uses n great deal of tho cotton irown' In thia county nev1/, thourh lt aaa to resell much of it af??V it? is taught pn account of Its lack of uni form grade. Only six bales of thia rear's crop have been bought by this alli. The president'says' that tho hold ng movement ls-general throughout his county and largely In the sonth, hough - lt la not- true . that cotton iannot be secure**.
