..... ...* Conducted by the Fam Short and Tfnoely Articles that will 1 nooemved, and are Solicited for On any Phase or Subjoot ol COTTON BAGS SHOULD BE USED. South Carolina Division of the South ern Cotton Association Takes up Mr. Wagener's Suggestion. Tlio officers of the South Caro - lina division of the Southern Cot ton AssociationIl have taken up the Ifmovement, started by the Southern Wholesale Grocors, to push the uso of bags or sacks made of cot ton. This matter is presentod in another column of thi3 paper. The idea is to cArry out in a practical way one of the propO3ltioIs On whioh tho Southern Cotton Asso ciation was founded-to increase the market for cotton goods, as well as to reduce the acreage used in production of cotton. While some want to create a greater de mand for cotton goods in the orient to supplant the costly silks. the practical business men of the wholosale grocers' association have seen an opportunity to declare that the market can be expanded right hero at ho!Ve by demanding that manufacturers use cotton instead of jute and burlap for bagging. Indeed there has been somo talk of the people of the South resort ing to the use of water duck, cot tonades and other cotton fabrics for cloth ing in the summer and thus to show to the world that we prefor wearing apparol made of our own home staple. This was done per force during the War Be twoen the Sections, when necessity required the Southern people to livo very, very economically. To some this might appear to be car rying the "movement" to an ex treme upproaching fanaticism, but the earnest loaders in the efTort to get cotton into the control of the producers think that by next sum mer tiey will have the people of the South willing to use cotton goods to an cxtenit unprecedented. While th is wearing appiarel prop osition may ajpeoar to 1be some what chimerical, yet there is much *force and logie in the movement to demand the use of cotton insteadl of burlap in marketing grain, mn *shipping fertilizers, antd in other commercial uses. This would m-. *crease the consumption of cotton by hundreds of thousands of bales. Mr. F. II. Weston, secretary of the South Carolina division, has sent to every county orgamzation ane earnest appeal to stand by the movement for the increased use o cot ton in the manufacture of bag and bagging. ie has also writte to Mr. Geo. A. Wagoner of Charle. ton commending the mlovemnent (o which Mr, Wagoner is the leadini spirit. Following is Mr. Watson letter to the county organizations "I am sending you under separ ate cover by today's mail an arti ele in reference to the use of cot ton bags. I consider this one o the most important matters tha our association can undertake. Yo' wvill recall that at the time the as, sociation was formed, it wats no -omet & -v..rs, omergen c.y, but to endeavor to enlarges~ field for cotton goods.

The South's Golden Opportunity Neg leglected Says a Michiqander. We reproduce Lelow from thC Progressive Farn.er and Cott->n Plant, an excellent agricultural journal published at Raleigh, N. C. a highly suggestive letter from a Michigan farir on the golden opportuinty for stock raising in the South. Our people have really 'had cotton pulled over their eyes,'' as he says, ror they would not have been so blind to the op, portunities about them. "Soil sui cide" is a good wcrd that he gives - us to descilbe any system of farm ing which leaves out stock raising. Read the letter which follows: Prof. B. W. Kilgore, Raleigh, N. C. Dear Sir:-I find tho Progressive Farmer vory interesting. So many things are vastly different from our methods. It seems as though you are favored. Today (March 12th) the sun is shining on fiolds glistening with snow. Here and - there tho earth breaks through and looks appealingly upward to the sun. Not two hundred foot away are drifts all of four fbet deep. There are a few bare spots in the roads, but runner vehicles are all in use still, and this is the seventy seventh day of continuous, unbro kon sloighing. There were a few days of sleighing previous to that, but there was an interval of bare ground. For seventy-seven days the snowv has not been wholly miilted fromt my house roof. Do thie planters selJ their cotton seed to oil r..ills and buy back theI fertihizer meal? Isn't this meal of more value to feed farm animals than for fertilizer? Certainly with your bormuda and cra b grasses and vast store of cotton seed it des1 scem as though you might mui (the beef trust by growing beeves a and mutton for the great city trade of our Eastern markets.

The industry is at a low ebb this s*)asonI as to number fed, and the 1)rice to farmers is close to 8 per Icent (live weight) all this winter. You may be assured there is good profit in that.
