What can 1 do with this 320 aeres and grow 110 cotton? Shall t ; 1 make a poultry farm or stock l'arm, or anything else?" Natural conditions always indicate what should be the leading farm interest in any section. Nature has made the Southern part of the Tinted States the best country for cotton that there is known to exist on earth. Any effort to entirely reverse the natural conditions will finally fail. The fact is that there is not too much' cotton. Foreign countries would like j to take all our cotton at a fair price, I for their mills are idle from lack of i the raw material, and yet they are too poor to buy it unless they could set credit for a good deal of time. Europe would gobble up the cotton if she could. But without the cash and retarded by the extra cost of exchange, she cannot buy. These -conditions will certainly pass ere long. What you should do is not to abandon cotton. You say you want to quit making your farm only a cotton patch. That is right. Quit making cotton the only thing you have to sell. Scatter your eggs into a number of baskets so that if one gets broken you can still have the others. That is, grow less land in cotton and bring the land up to making more cotton an acre. The more you get per acre the less it costs to make it. in short | go to farming an stop being a mere cotton planter. Clrow some cotton to % f sell, some oats to sell, some corn to sell and feed, some cattle and hogs to make manure and to sell, grow hay { to feed. Keep poultry as a matter of course, but drop all idea of jumpA mg into a poultry farm. Keep plenty of hogs and grow plenty of crops for | The REX, ; Store Goods macy, Owner-Mana Filling of Prescription it our reputation.

In short, iarm in a good rotation planned for ho building up of your land in proiuoiion .and with iimnf-y coming in at iiffcicii! times in the year, the price f cot-on will no: hear so heavily on rou as it does when you have hothing to sell hut cotton which has cost j con three times as much as you can | - I for it. i know ;; man who bought in old l'l; 11-down cotton lann and wont ti> farming on it. He did not stop growing cotton but gave it a snialht area and the best place in a well-planned rotation of crops. He crow grass and clover and fed cattle an(1 raised mules, made much manure and bought little fertilizer except acid phosphate* He started with 1G bushels of wheat an acre, but got the land up to making 40 bushels. He got grass on all the old red galls and gulleys,, and today the Old worn-out farm is one or trie iinest in all that region and has made its owner a wealthy man and a leader in the commercial affairs of his section. If every farmer in the South farmed in this way. the price of cotton would large part of the farming, livestock production on the share basis is most hkely to prove unsatisfactory, unless both landowner and renter know the business from experience and each owns an equal share of ihe breeding or productive stock.?The Progressive Farmer. The Steady Subscriber How dear to our hearts is the steady subscriber, who pays in advance at the birth of each year. Who lays down the money and does it quite triadly, and casts round the ofiice a halo of cheer. He never says: ''Stop it; 1 cannot afford it. I'm trettin.tr more papers than now 1 can read." but always says: "Send it; our people all like it? in fact, v e all think it a help and a need." How welcome his check when it reaches our sanctum, how ir makes our pulse throb: how it makes our heart dance. We outwardly thank him: we inwardly bless him?the steady subscriber who pays in advance.
