REDUCING THE ACREAGE.
Just now, while there is so much
, talk about reducing the acreage In
cotton, every farmer should sit down
aud reason the matter out for himself,
from his own standpoint, and
consider how he is concerned individually.
The cotton acreage must be reduced;
there can be no question about
that. And there is no discounting
the fact that organization is alright
We would not discount either the reductior
or the organization. % But, getting
right down to hard facts, every
man has pot to take care of hlmsein
The man who looks to any organization
to take care of him, and manage his
affairs for him, is going to get left
If every farmer reduces his cotton
acreage one-fourth, or one-half, what
is going to be the effect?not on the
country, but on himself? That is the
point at issue.
If the farmer curtails his cotton
crop he will curtail his money crop,
unless' he supplements jt with some1
tholng else. If the farmer reduces the
amount of money he receives fromyhis
cotton crop he must get money ttom
some other source, or go lacking.
The farmers of Chesterfield county
are particularly well situated in this
respect We have a very large population
in the county not engaged in
farming, and all these people must
^ eat There has not heen a time In
the past year that the demand for
foodstuffs of every kind has not exceeded
the supply raised in the county.
Every farme^ in Chesterfield -can
produce something for the table, and
sell it right at home at good prices
any day in the year.
As a matter of fact there is -fio reason
why any farmer in Chesterfield
county should depend entirely on cotton
as his money cropN^
tmk Is dp"""' to*
right-about face at once.
I don't expect the United States to
l?e drawn Into the war, nor do I consider
Vthat American protests avail
anything in the blockade situation except
as a matter of record. England
will put an end to this war if given
the opportunity, which she seems to
have seized. I am inclined not to
take violent sides, but is best that
the Allies should win.

good idea to urg4 a campaign in behalf
of the common,' native birds in this
one?
The idea is by no means new. It
was taken up several years ago by
different societies, but their work
attracted little attention until the last
couple of years. La$t year the work
was urge? in /thousands of localities.
And this early this year one of the
most widely circulated magazines in
the tfnited States devoted an entire
page to the subject, Joining in the
work with all its influence and showing
why and how the birds can be encouraged
to live closer to us. v
A campaign for the birds-will be
aiding in the campaign against the
fly, too, for every living bird means
death to hundreds of thousands of
flies. And the birds need little encouragement

of using the air rifle.
Put up some nesting places this
spring. And do It right away} If
you do not care to build a house for
them, any small receptacle placed in
the trees about the yard will answer
the purpose. Few of them will remain
empty through the summer.
