I ordered 100 frost- t proof cabbage plants from Hastings in February, also my garden seed and g planted my garden as early as possi- f ble, and have kept it well worked t with hoe and plow, consequently I ^ now have the best garden in the g country. My cabbage are especi- ? flllv nir.ft. ftnrl T rp<rr<?f I didn't set out 500 or 1000, as they ? sell readily, and mine are the only q ones around. I entered a garden v contest and am putting forth every ^ effort to win; am keeping: a strict ^ account of my garden and find that I 0 have used and sold $12.75 worth of ^ vegetables, with my main crop of t] beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc., jj just coming on. My garden con- S( tains less than half an acre, too. S1 As soon as the potatoes are dug I jj will plant my fall garden ?beans, p cabbage, beets, tomatoes and collards ^ We have fresh vegetables the year p around. ]c We have three acres of sweet po- ^ tatoes, one acre of corn with peanuts p between the rows, one acre of toma- j toes, one acre of tomatoes, one acte w of cane for syrup, two acres of peanuts (they did not come to a stand, jr so will plant navy beans in the skips) Our eight-acre peach < orchard is planted to peas and we have about <p one-fourth acre in milo maize; also jr Vinvp a nnfpVi r?f ranp fnr Vine i r U I am selling vegetables and eggs c, daily making a right smart spending g money, which is a great help these 01 hard times. w I hope all your readers have read jr and will heed the warnings set forth m in Hastings' advertisements; there is a sermon in every one.

"Are we on the eve of a war i boom?" asks Theodore H. Price of a New York, in the World's Work, and c he cites numerous facts arid instan- t ces to sustain the theory that this 3 country will experience an era of ad- s vancing prices such as is already ex- v istent in Europe, and he concludes t bhat "under such circumstances large e profits will accrue to the business v man who is con ;ent to become an op- e itnpfnnitf u/Viilo afill nrpnervino1 Kin n facility of mental detachment from t :he mob when its frenzy is approach- I ng the point of exhaustion." This d jpinion rests upon the assumption c ;hat there may be wild speculation, f :or he remarks ;hat "the culture beds > >f the collectiye human mind seem ii ust now peculiarly hospitable to the s< terms of febrile inflammation." c< To introduce his argument Mr. Price alludes to a book written some . rears ago by Edwin Lefevre and I sailed "The Golden Flood." It nar- b ated an illuminating piece of fiction ihowine how seriously stocks and >onds could be affected by a sudden nflux of gold in enormous volume, rhe story pictured its hero as having ecured control of the gold war reerve of Russia for the purpose of E naking a loup in the market, alhough the bankers where he made lis deposits thought he had realized hat dream of alchemists?the transnutation of the baser metals into si fold?and they hastily began to ex- ei ihange their money for interests in rc iroductive properties of various V :inds, while there ensued a panic, d< rith falling prices in bonds, and sim- ti iltaneously a wild advance in stocks, w "The economic chaos brought about iy the European war," remarks Mr. hi Mce, "promises some effect? that & ire quite as fantastic as those pic- tt ured in the "Golden Flood." di For the seven months ended June ^ 10 he says that the value of exports rom the United States to all coun- m ries will probably exceed all imports y more than $9,00,000,000 (the nures are not yet compiled), while ^ he exports to Europe alone during 01 he same period will exceed imports rom Europe by at least $1,000,000,- ^ 00, and for the thirteen months ar ,'hich will end December 31, 1915, w' 111 ; seems probable that exports from iiis country to Europe will exceed ^ ur imports from there by at least 1,500,000,000. The balance due te ie United States, he observes, will e.n ave to be paid in either American scurities held abroad, the available ;*< apply of which he thinks nearly exausted in European securities or m( romises to pay, which do not seem 00 > be acceptable here, or in gold, uesian exchange is 24 per cent, be>\v normal, German 14 per cent., ;alian 12, French 4, and Eglish 1% er cent, below. Allowing for the ifficulites of transporting gold in ar times, he says it is plain that p? le maintenance of specie payment *1C i Europe has been practically abanoned, and admission of the fact will e duly made if the war continues. his means inflation; that business 1 the warring countries will be conucted by means of a credit curren- to y, as was-the case in the United ev Cc tates during the Civil War, when at . ne time it required more than $2 lt{ orth of greenbacks to purchase $1 ? i gold. But this country will re- , lain in the position of being able to pii smand gold m payment for what is at ?ld abroad, with the result that ?? po uropean gold will come here to pay tri jbts and more will also arrive for m; ife keeping. Then when gold reserves in Eu- by >pe become as obsolete in theory as ?u ,ey are in practice, the prices of JJjJ rerything there as measured by the en tper money will 1 advance to per- toi ips twice the prices now expressed j f ; / I . ? jrary or Den our OCKERS *est Chair English or A large ;h quality.

Wages will advance be:ause of the increased cost of living, md if more paper money has to be ssued, the prices of everything will igain rise, and so on until a collapse iccurs. It is shown that in England here has been an advance of about 10 per cent, .in staple commodities ince early in August last, when the var started, also that in Germany here is quite a boom in stocks, and ven war bonds are dealt in at adancing prices. The same thing is xpected in England and France irhen they release themselves from he curb of gold reserves, and Mr. *rice further says there is every inlication that as to currency depreciation the present great war will ollow precedent as in the wars of lapoleon and in our Civil War, but i proportion to the size of the preent conflict.?Manufacturers Beard. i CUflDT PDflD 1 01 lull I UI\UI AND HIGHER PRICES XPERT DECLARES GOVERNMENT ESTIMATE IS MUCH TOO LARGE.

He will organize the Geora Cotton Ginners' Association at a eeting of ginners in Atlanta Friay at the Hotel Ansley. He said he based his prediction on ie low estimate for this year's crop 1 the condential report received by ie national association from the 17,30 ginners in the Southern States, id gave these significant reasons hy the country may look for one of e shortest crops in the history of e South's chief product. First?The uncertainty of the inrnational situation arising from the nbargo placed on cotton by the Briih Government and the American jvernment's subsequent demands r a removal of the embargo or a odification of the British order in uncil. Second?The dawn of a new era in rming in the South out of the owth of the gospel of diversifica>n which he said has taken a firm ip on the planters. Third?A reduction in the yield r acre, owing to the'climatic condi>ns which have prevailed over the tton belt sir"e the Government's ne estimate v. as sent out from ashington. Texas Acreage Cut.
