If it were as good as others seem to tiling, the millenium is at hand. This is the Month To make garden. To gather greens. To uncover the strawberry bed and cultivate between rows. To get^-very manure pile out on the fields where it is needed. To sprinkle a little grass seed on the bare spots in the lawn. To dear out all the remaining vegetables from the cellar, and let in the fresh air. To take the shoes off the horses working in the fields, and give their feet a rest. To plant potatoes on Good Friday. Kxtra early potatoes can be secured by sprouting them before planting. To guard the horses' shoulders. In no place is an ounce of prevention worth more. Cleanliness solves 90 per cent of the problem. To set every egg you plan to hatch. Late chicks seldom pay their cost. Remember the ol.l yiiiuinic "A ,.Vii,.Lr ir. June is ten months soon." To plant pumpkins for stock feeding. Their chemical analysis shows little to commend them, but as an appetizer and system toner, they are valuable for both hogs and cattle. To make sure the garden fence is tight. Two or three old hens in a few hours' time can destroy the results of days of hard work, and a lot of good resolutions.?Farm Life. May Impose Customs Duty Constantinople, March 1?.?The Turkish government is contemplating the imposition of customs duties upon certain categories of imported goods destined for Allied philanthropic institutions which hitherto have been exempt from such charges. Stores for the American Near Knst Relief and the American Red Cross will remain duty-free until next July. si LET REASON RULE. . Most of us art* ruled by prejudice t.orn of ignorance or just pure cuss?.| ness. And the rule of prejudice' does not advance our interest, nor'bring iv happiness. The mind that is full of piejudiee is fortified against argu\ew ideas have ever been regarded with suspicion by prejudice and thus docs 4tm.runee foi4:ty itself. Ami in this day of marvelous transition, the rapid bi-th of new ideas, and the battle of knowledge against ignorance, it is often amusing to note the line of defense put forth by ignorance. The front line of defense is usually prejudice. When ignorance cannot meet knowledge squarely, then doth ignorance engage in camouflage?evades the i.vue, beclouds it or begs the question. When we begin to talk to farmers about diversification we are met with objections that are ivot really sound, or with evasion, ridicule or open hostility. Yet there is not a farmer in Union County that does not know we cannot prosper so long as we produce cotton as our only money croji and then send out more money -each year for food, feed and manufactured articles than the total return from our cotton crop. It is impossible to improve our soil, to build up our schools, churches, roads and other good j institutions under such conditions. A man does not have to be a farmer i to see the truth of this. In fact, it often happens that the man most closely involved in such a" situation is the last man to see it. It is not because a man in such a case has no sense. He lacks opportunity to get a wide range of vision. His nose is so close to the grindstone that he has little opportunity for reflection, reason and deliberate action. If every farmer in the county will get himself a 75 cents cash book, and keep a complete record of every financial transaction lie has during the year, he would soon open his eyes. What comes in goes on one side. What i is paid out goes on the other side. Here is way some of them would fine J the books at the end of the year: CASH RECEIVED. CASH PAID OUT. : 10 bales of cotton $ 900.00 Urbor $ 500.0( 100 dozen eggs 20.00 (Juano 350.0( 200 pounds butter 80.00 Cotton seed 15.01 fM.L.n ..

No wonder there is a mortgage that is . gradually increasing. No wonder there should be dissatisfaction. But dis, satisfaction will not get one anywhere unless it leads to action. Our troublt | is the one crop system. We try to raise cotton ami cotton alone for oui I money crop. Until we find a better way there is no hope. The farms wil ! continue to be swa'lowed up by the creditors of the farmer, and the agricul tural interests of the county will continue to decline. Small farms will canj tinue to decrease in number and large landholders will continue to increas< ! in number?a condition that spells ultimate ruin for all. But some man says J "What are we to Oo?" First of all, abuse the writer for telling you the truth. It will not alter the situation, nor get you a solution, nor help yot in the least. Then, do some reasoning on your own account. Determine that you will use jour utmost endeavor to raise your own food and feet stuffs. Then use your intelligence to create new avenues to increase youi I cash income. You cannot decrease your expenditures save for food and feet | slutFs; so you must increase your revenue. We might have in this countj | a collecting agency for cream. We hope to do this through our cannerj company. But whether through that organization or upon your own method ' cream can be shipped, to Spurtunburg, Chester and Greenville F.auu coulc j be shipped out o/ County wiiwi hhey *viJ| not tyring lf> cents upon the ^ streets. We must find a market. It can be done. We can help build uf | a canning industry here that will take every tomato, cabbage, English pen and ear of sweet eo.n that can be raised in Union County. Yet we find il i difficult to get $ 10,000 subscribed to such an enterprise. Plenty of knockers few Indoors The ones th-it L-nnolr thn Vi? i-.loat U..1.. ......

He thinks himself wist I when in truth he :s exceedingly unwise. lie has no plan to propose yet spends his time trying tt? kill the one that is proposed. But we are brave enough to say that instead of $10,000 subscribed to such an enterprise, $.r>0,0tK: would be wisely spent in it, and instead of one, a dozen such concerns could soon be built, and built here?in Union, South Carolina. We buy ouj j cabbage and kraut from North Carolina, our tomatoes from Virginia, oui 1 pork from Chicago, our Hour from Kansas, our celery from Kalamazo, oui j beans from California, our peaches from California?but why go on? Just say we buy everything and do the buying with 20,000 bales of cotton pei annum. Is it any wonder that we arc "up against it"? We will continue U i be "up against it" until we change our entire system. Of course you maj | say the writer is no farmer, knows nothing about it and is a great big fool But you cannot answer the argument. We defy you to answer it. Yov i may have all the space you demand to answer.
