Farmers and their families should endeavor
to spend one or more days at
these annual gatherings. There is certain
to be something of great interest
and benefit to every branch of farming.
In fruit or vegetables, if anything
of merit is observed, find out
the name and price, test it for next
season. Follow the same with grain
or other products of the fields. Talk
with the producer, if possible, and ol>
tain valuable points or hints that will

whether a thorougbred animal cpnlc

Big Yield of Cotton from Texas Soil.
An Alabama man who is farming near
Velnsco, Texas, gives thj Houston Pout
. this striking account of what he is getting
out of Texas soil: "This is my
first crop in Texas, and before I came
here I would not have believed any
' country could produce 6uch cotton as I
' have raised with the hands I brought
' fr>-iui Alabama. 1 have seventy-five acres
* in cultivation, and if this good weather
' continues I am sure of at least 120 bales.
I I have already got out sixty.five bales,
o ( and am having six bales per day ginned
, at the Velasco Oil Mill's gin. Those
? hales all go over 500 weigh each, and the
n quality of the lint and the 'turnout' from
t the "ecu is something as astonishing to
f us Alabamians as is the yield per acre,
it Yet I hear people saying every day that
the season has not been by any means a
really good one on cotton."

Sow Thorn** A. ?dison Would
Ohangt Our Xonet*ty System
- Wheat and Iron aa
Money.
A new solution of the silver question
its been offered by Thomas A Kdison.
n an interview he says:
"The hankering afttr gold and silver
largely traditional. People all allow
hemaelvca to be governed by the old
dens on tUuJwi. oi coinage fornnisted
at a time when natioual credits did
ot exist and currency could only b)
aken at sn intrinsic value. What wo
f wheat and squrefce-<Yfe* wk*teW>ut of It
nd then compress it into a hard enke
tie size of a silver dollar and stamp the
ovcrnmcot mark upon it. That would
rpresent actual value and labor per
Drmed and tbeu you could cat yourdol
ir when you wanted to use the wheat.
11 that would be nrressnry would lie to
ut your meuey to soak. We should
ten have tho bushel of wheat as a puinnent
unit of value, which all farmers
ouM appreciate, nnd the currency of
ic count'y would repnscnt actual
orth and labor performed. Both gold
id silver could then bo dispensed with
td the preset t bimetallic problem
tlved. Our currency, moreover, would
3 as good as gold or silver in foreign
(change, for our wheat goes to all the
luntrics of tho wcr'd.
In alt ttoil talk about metal for colnje,"
continued Mr. Edison, "I am surriscd
that no ono has suggested iron,
on is the most precious metal. ' Gold is
do use or silver cither. Mankind has ]
) use for either go'.d or 6ilvcr, but iron j (
iuld not bo dispensed with. If the
!op'c would only givo up this foolish, |
nditioual idea of hnnktring for gold |
id silver those mcta's would uot be |
nrth the price of old lead and v ould \
kicked aside by c'vilization. ,
"The human race, on the other hand,
nnot dispense with iron. Iron mu>t be
oduced to keep pace with consumption j
its price wiii atcidily rise. The de- |
ind for iron is steady and will never ,
use. Therefore, why not issue Treasy
certificates on iron? This is the |
oatest iron pro iu( ing i ?uotry in the ,

stimuted to be about 05,000 acres,

of the crop for 180;! ths output it
expected to reach about 2,500,000 bush- r,;,.
els. 1 he sudden advance in prices ia
the enrly spring of this year induced
planters to put in a full crop, and if

prevail And prices hold firm, planters
will resp the benefit. The demand for
