To the Editor of The News: To the young men and farmers o Lancaster county, the best and onlj way I kuow to solve the labor prob lent is to go to work and do It witl your own hands?use your inusch as well as your brains. There is nothing to the fellow who is always planning and never executing; then is also very little to be expected ol the man who does a lot of hard wort and uses poor judgment in aomg mu work. So you see the two should gt together. In other words. youi muscle and brain must co-operate My advice would be to the young farmer starting out in life, to get in possession of a small piece of land as soon as possible, go to work on it, and make it rich by keeping some legume crop growing on it all the year around, and at the same time by making two or three paying crops on it annually, and to do this you should study your business, get in touch with th" co-operative and demonstration men. read all the agricultural papers en scientific farming. I was pleased yesterday when I passed a young farmer's home, to see the line i rops, worked like a Harden on his 'dttle farm and done by liis own hands Five years ago his father sent for me t?> come over and. said, "1 have lot (his hoy have 1" acres, but v. '.or. I t ir\eyed and calculated. there was nine acres in th:s boundary." I m told that this is tin only land lie works and two or tht< acres of it r 'V 'n pasture. This man with four it: ! ' family, is living and living ensir- Mian any former in our neighborhood. I met the former postmaster oi Waxhaw, and a friend of mine, in Monroe on th" ."ith of July. I asked him, "How arc you petting along farming?" lie said "Fine. My wagon is loaded v ith 50 bushels of Irisli potatoes to start to Charlotte at midnight." I asked, "IIow much are you working?" He said. "One acre and this makes me 200 bushels and L will still get more from it. but I atu coming here next year." I said. "You are doing too well to move." He replied. "I want to gef closer to a better school. I have just bought 2 0 acres one mile north of the court house." I said for argument sake. ""You can't make a living on 20 acres." Ho answered. "Twelve acres in pasture and woodland and eight in cultivation, and I am going to live T on the 01 kiu acres. i u v,, will do it. lie is a hustler. B. W. Hather. Masonic Grand lec'turer of North Carolina, told me ho knew of a man who makes a living on loss than one acre of land in a .small North Carolina town. I asked '"How does he do it?" He said when his wheat is harvested he shocks i' in his back yard and lot. for he keeps ' a pony, cow and a hop. He cleans 'out the stable, cow stall, hog pen and ash hopper and puts it all on thai ground, plants it in corn with one sack of guano. In about three weeks that corn is laid by and the land sowed in peas as soon is it can be. He cuts thp corn and shocks it in the back yard and lot, then he said you * ought to see those pea vines go over "Xhat lot fence and into the streets. At the proper time they were mowed and housed and the land sowed in wheat again, with another sack of guano and all the manure on the place used as before. He said, "That is the richest piece of land I ever saw and that man lives the easiest of any man I know of. He lies in his hammock and reads the newspapers half of his time." One of my sons said to me the other day: "Father, I want in acres of land." I said. "What do you want to do with it. He said. "I want to raise bees and chickens and farm some on it." I said, "All right, I will see that you get it." The banner farmer of the United States owns nine acres of land an" won't have any more. He is o! Swedish descent. When he bough he hunted for the poorest piece ol land he could find, it was rocky aiu rolling. His friends and neighbor: said he was crazy and couldn't mak? a living on such a piece of land. H< said he wanted it poor so he couh make it rich. s?id he wanted it roll ing so it would drain itself, said h' wanted the rocks so he could buih dams with them. He had $250 ti start farming with?that was 1! r" 1./V UA years ago. since umi umn m? u? swept nearly all the premiums on ai kinds of farm products at the bti fairs of Chicago, Hoston, New Yorl and other Northern and Westeri cities. The last I noticed of him h had over $3,500 in the bank an< spent a vacation each summer ia th city of New York visiting his rela tives. We need right here in Lancaste county 1,000 young farmers like thi Swede. Young men if you hav never done anything for yourself an your county, thrown down your eij aiette, dope and perhaps other ust m s His habits have always been regular. ^ I know of another young man whose father hail me to survey 18 acres six years ago. It is a delight for n>? to ' pass his home and look at his beauti' ful bungalow, with barn and other ; buildings of modern style, with beau' tiful hedge and lawn, and every ' lick of this work was done with his 1 and his wife's hands. They didn't ask their neighbors to help raise ' these buildings. He has one of the best gardens I know of. Doesn't raise a pound of cotton, raises 40 and *?o bushels ot corn and oats to the acre and wheat enough for their Hour, besides quantities of hay and other roughness, lie owns one horse two hogs and two milch cows and alls butter every week in the year. ! could rel"te many instances like ! this, but will now say 'o the big land | ovners ol on-* county, cut up some your lands into small farms and i urn it over to the brawny handed progressive young white man, on easy term? to pay for it. ity so dour you will help build up this agriultu"al country of ours.

In u paper before the Boston meeting of the National Association ol Cotton Manufacturers on the utilization of cotton waste by German and Austrian methods, Frank Nasmith, consulting textile engineer of Manchester, England, said: "In practically every manufacturing process waste is produced, "which in a great many cases is put to some definite profitable use. In the cotton spinning industry, although a certain amount of the waste produced is mixed with the fresh cotton and combined in the yarns forming the staple product of the mill, there is alway3 a comparative large amount which the spinner cannot use in this way and which lie sells to the waste merchant or waste spinner.

AND OUT-HOUSES AUK FLY FACTORIES Make Your Ou!-House Sanitary The odors arising from privies arc sickening and unbearable, particularly in summer. They are also the breeding place for flies and other vermin. Flies carry disease germs direct from such places to the baby's milk, the meats, vegetables, pies and other foodstuffs. Typhoid fever is invariably transmitted from germs that originated in out-houses and such breeding pla<-es, and these germs are usually carried to tho house and kitchen by flies that take an air route. RED DEVIL LYE, plentifully sprinkled in privies every two or three days, will eat up the filth deposits, keep such places sanitary, and wipe out the pestiferous fly. Tho cost is trifling, while tho benefits can not be measured in dollars and cents. Use Red Devil Lye for this important purpose, you will be amazed to find how it actually eats up the filth. Do it at once, and get rid of the filth, fliea and odors. .RED DEVIL LYE Is Death to the Fly BIO CAN8 6c. and 10c., pulverized, ready to sprinkle. Writ? for Booklet "PREVENT/' WML 8CHIELD NFC. CO..
