MOKE SMALL FAKMS NEEDED.
Mr. T. \V. Socrest lit'licvi's in In
tensive Farming.
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. Because
in colonial days in farming have all
ssed. .Mr. Negro has promised himelf
and his God to make nothing

county. South Carolina. These
; lots faced public roads; where there
!we?*e no roads, they surveyed them
i < nd have since worked the roads by
hiring the ehaingang ton e. I passed
| through one of these farms not long
| ago, and it was a grand sight to look
up and down these 24-foot avenues,
all graded and looking like Broad
street. They are selling these lots
on easy terni3 to white men, not selling
more than two lots to any one
| purchaser. Their object for this is
to build up good churches, schools
i and a tine agricultural country. Let

I'lrlizution of Cotton Waste.
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. Recently a
very varied, and in many ways remarkable
collection of fabric samples,
made in Germany and Austria.

is that out of waste material excellent,

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.
