Boys stav In discussion of farm life recently with a progressive young farmer, who is in love with his work, we were struck with what he is accom plishing. Ijist year he planted thirty acres, and the only expense ! to which he was put for planting and cultivating this crop was . 47 cents for hoeing, all the work being done by himself. He produced more corn than he could make use of, sold a number of hogs and made eight bales of cotton. For severaj years this young man has been depositing in a bank an average of $30. per month, hut last year he exceeded this amount considerably. The only criticism that we can make of this young farmer’s life is tlat he is a “lone, lorn croetur,” but he will FARMERS’ UNION DIRECTORY* NATIONAL. President Chas S Barrett, Union City, Ga.

SAYS GOnON PLANT CAN FEED THE SOUTH, 1 , .That the cotton plant is capable not only of clothing but feeding in large part the people of the South was the statement made to Secretary Dickinson by his nephew, who re sides in Ennis, Tex. He has. inform ed the secretary of the shipment to him from Texas of samples of cotton seed flour, bread and cakes. This food had been privately tested for 20 years, and the secretary’s nephew wishes him to test it. , The cost of the cottonseed flour is said to be only 50 or 75 per cent that of cereals, while its nutritive value is declared to be from 5 to 7 times as great. To give the necessary consist ency, about 40 per cent of wheat flour is added to the cottonseed flour, but for cakes and such food no mix ture is required. Analysis shows that the cotton seed contains 37.7 per cent more protein than wheat flour and though it is deficient to the extent Of 44.7 per cent in carbo-hydrates, the lack easi ly can be remedied by the use of ve getables or sugar.
