In years gone by when the farmers of this section attempt *d to raise anything except cotton or" tobacco they found it impossible to find a ready cash market for their produce. If a single farmer shipped ao'nHfcle of produce" he was as like ly to receilve a hill for the freigh* With no returns from his produce a* he was to receive a chock for his pro duce. This was very discouraging. atttfMs the one thing above all other6 that have bound the fanners of this sectiondo the one crop system.

M veins aj possible returns for his produce: • Ch.ule-s. E. Mi Why, 1 Thousands of dollars have been sav ed on tho Florence Irish potato crop this year, simply through the farm ers marketing their crop co-opera- tivel> through the Chamber of Com merce. The •.farmers have been advised to plant sweet potatoes. The advice is nothing now, for they have been ad vised yqar in and year out for the past half century, but the one thing new is the establishment here of a curing' and storage house where their crop may be taken care of, and the assurance that through this they Ytitl be In position to market their crop to the very best possible advan tage. A hundred farmers, each with a few bushels of sweet potatoes to mar ket would find it impossible to sel 1 them but one organization with hun dreds " of bushels of potatoes to sell will not eyen be forced to look foi a market, but the market wfll hunt the- organization up and thus there will be" created a market here this Fall for -all the sweet potatoes thal can'possibly he raised in this section And what is true of these two crops is true in like manner of ail others that can possibly be raised onv the Southern Farm. The world needs every ounce of food that can possibly be . produced, whether it be . potatoes or meat, and when the farmers of this, or of any other section, take the load and come together wfth mar ketable produce In marketable quan titles the buyer will seek the farmer and be will no longer find It an im possibility to succ'^.sjully iparket Ws'fann 7 produce.

But I don’t know that I care so much whether I can look creatures straight in the face or not I don’t care much what sort of a pig 1 am. I like to lie a good pig, but not a good anything else.” “Well, Jihat’s all right," said Sammy Sausage. “That’s all pigs cun ever hope to lie.” “But I mean I like to be a piggy pig,” said Master Pink Pig. And to himself Sammy Sausage grunted, “So do I,” but he thought he had better not say such a thing aloud until after the following day. Again lie went around squealing, “Don’t forget, friends, tomorrow is my birthday. Please bring me useful pres ents—things 1 can eat. “I don’t want any useless things. In these hard times we should be sen sible !” Well, the pigs talked to each other and they wondered what they would give Sammy Sausage on his birthday. They all decided that they supposed they had to give him something. “Well, many happy returns,” squeal ed Grandfather Porky Pig, the next day as they started to walk in a pro cession toward Sammy Sausage. Sammy Sausage was sitting in a corner of the pen, busily eating some thing. He looked up and said In a high, squealing voice, “Your wishes are all right, hut I hope your presents are better.” Each pig had a little scrap of fend for Sammy Sausage’s birthday pres ent They had each brought a large share of food and ns they had brought It along they had decided that it was too much to give and had been eating all the way along until every pig’s present was now very small. “Oh.” said Brotlrer Bacon, “there Is such a litle hit of my phesent left that I will not give It to Sammy Sau sage. It would insult him to give him such a small present." So Brother Bacon ate up his present and asf he did so every pig followed his example. “Well, you’re a lot of pigs, eating up your own presents,” said Sammy Sau sage, when he saw what was happen ing. He tried to stop a feYv presents from being eaten np, but he hadn’t iritlch Hick. “Oh, weR,” he said, “I, loo, was a big j",!g, for it's not my birthday and I only said so to get presents if I could l” --—* By W. M. Goodman. Notwithstanding the rapid develop ment in manufacturing and other in dustries in the southeastern slates since ISitO, and the wonderful possihii- Itics for the expansion of such enter prises, which are now so plainly appar ent, It was out of the soil that we made the greater part of the wealth widen was ours" in the past, aud out of the soil will come the grealet part of our wealth in the future. This section is esseptiat1j-*4«gricnltural, and fanning will-always lie its leading .industry. Therefore we should make the most of opportunities offered for the advance ment of farming interests. Even tinder old methods of farming —methods which have caused our lands to become less productive year by yeah—the farm incomes of each county have run into millions of dol lars annually, lu counties Yvhere com petent demonstration agents have been employed, rapid progress is noted in the change fijnn one-crop systems and consequent depletion of soil fertility 1 to diverUfied farming and soil improve ment. Where this change lias occurred, farm incomes have been largely in creased and the cost of operation de creased by reason of greater produc tion of foot! and foragq crops. When the agricultural interests of whole counties have been furthered iti this way, as a direct result of the work of county agents, farm incomes will he more than doubled—millions 0/ dollars will be anded each year to rno -circulating capital of each county and to its permanent wealth. ' Figuring Costs and Profits, WhetTwe figure costs and profits-— allowing $800 or $1,000 ns the amount 1 paid by a county for a competent tigont (the Federal and State govern ments paying the bjlance) we will find upon estimating the population of counties that the average cost to each individual will be in the neighborhood of four or five cents, and tlial the work of the county demonstrator, as shown by actual results In many sections, will add many dollars to (he per capita wealth. County’s Best Asset. The county demonstration agent who innkos increased soil fertility Hie basis of all his efforts, is one of the best business assets a county can Jiave, and it is a short-sighted policy not to give him proper financial and moral support": oii'jhe leadership of stu b ttge^t^epcjidS the success of all move- «“^‘s w< f«wu#d better farming—the loosperity wtylch we may have in re turn for intelligent, well-directed ef forts to promote soil and n op improve- nic,nt work. ‘ Science is applied common sense. The deiiionisfVdliou agent is a scientisr, 1 and should know how to impart to others the knowledge lie has acquired. Ho .should sltuw the farmer what <o do and how to do it, and lead him away from old practices and crude methods to higher efficiency and suc cess. This is what he is doing in most cases.
