It was a decreased acreage thai contributed no little to the ad. vance of cotton twelve month! ago in the face of an unprecedent ed' surplus. Even with a muel less surplus at this time an in creased acreage will do anythil else than contribute to the sam, good end. Keeping down th, production is the surest wa; after all of keeping up the pricE However Hon. Harvie Jorda may miss it in his advice to th Southern farmers to hold thei cotton for a price that marke conditions do not seem to justif3 one thing is morally certain: tha in advising them to plant mor food crops, he is giving ther advice that they would do might well to follow. By all means lf the pec Jle of this section has their granaries and meathouse right here at home. The farmer, who would rais all cotton because of the ad vance in the prics of this stapi within the past few years, shoul not be unmindful of the fact tha there has jbeen a correspondin rise in the price of all provii ions. A: pound of cotton go( but little if any ftrther to-do in purchasing thie necessities < life than it did when it was fox to five cents a pound. It is sti the part of wisdom for the farm( to raise at home all his hoi supplied. There have been about thirt carloads of mules sold in Fai: field county within the past fot months. This means a total < about 800 mules shipped in bei from the western markets. TI avearge price of these mules c the home market has been clos to, if not altogether as much's $200. It took more than $12i 000 out of the county to brir these mules here. The marvel that in the face of these figure Fairfield farmeis can not see tk wisdom of raising their mule here at home. It is easier I raise one mule than it is for bales of cotton that it takes I pay for one even at the preser prices. There are great poi siblities here in the matter< stock raising and the prese2 prices of western stock woul certainly justify the farmers undertaking thie profitable fe: ture of farming.. Let there I more mule and horse colts raise in this county than there has been heretofore. It will certain] pay. Congressman Lever has intr< duced a bill in congress whi( provides an appropriation < $20,000 for promoting the dair industry of the United Statesi be expended by the secretary < agriculture where most neede, It is the spirit of this bill for ti said appropriation to be spent:i the Southern states, where th great industry has been so ser ously neglected for so long while. There are great pose bilities in dairying here in ti South and the national goveri ment through an appropriation < this character can do much t< wards stimulating its develoj ment. Should the appropriatic be made-and there is now ever indication that it will be-a daii expert 'will be stationed in eat of the Southern states to furnis individual dairymen with expe information as to the best methoc of dairying. He will also teac the farmer how to select his he] with a view to getting the bei resnlts and show him howi build silos and barns and he wi teach him the best methods< crop rotation in order to get ti most forage for his cattle. I short, he will make the souther farmer fully acquainted with ti possibiiities cf this great indu: try, a fact which will be sure t result in an increase in it same. By all means the appr< priation should be had. It wi mean much to the Souther farmer. Jenkinsvlille Jottings. Mrs. M. D. Murphy of Colum bia was here to esee her childre and relatives not long since.

This is the lar gest income ever recorded from this tax. For 1905 the tax aggre gated $130,000 and up to the same date in 1905 the tag was only $48,000. More fertilizers than ever are to be used this year. Whether this means more acreage, more fertilizers per acre for cotton or fertilizer for other crops is not known.

Th~e list revised last week called for the change in the labels on more3 than a hundred names.
