NO PLANTING THE BEST PLAN. Thc Intelligencer has had considerable to say recently on the jucstion "? curtailing the cotton crop next year, and suggesting that mr State legislature go slow in this matter. We do not wish to be placed in thc attitude of wishing to "dictate" to the farmers what .hey shall do, but we wished merely tc? point out a few of the dan jera incident to snell law. We believe that if the farmers were equipped t<> raise live stuck and had an ample market f<?r all the grail' they can raise it would be a good plan to cut out cotton entirely irrespective of what the legislature may or may not do in the session now being held. Indeed thc farmers of Texas, and other Southern states where the boll weevil has been, have learned to diversify ?heir crops and the result this year is that Texas has raised more cotton than ever before and in addition,a humper crop of grain. This was accomplished by making cotton a surplus crop. Anderson county farmers can do the sanie tiling and ?hey are doing it too, under the leadership of some of the able and thoughtful farmers who have given the county its prestige :is an agricultural county. The following editorial clipped from the Columbia Record will be read with interest: lt seems to us that the members of thc committee of South Carolinians who have been visiting other States and preaching the new evangel ol a reduction of cotton acreage for 1 <) t 5 should get in touch with each other and agree on the amount of reduction that they deem advisable. President Wade S tack ho usc of the South Carolina Division ol' thc Cotton Congress announces in a letter to the morning news papers that he has "just returned from New Orleans a convert to planting no cotton in 1915." Mr. Stackhouse figures that a no-plant ing law passed by ten States, prohibiting any acreage planted in cot ton next year, will benefit the South by ^several billion dollars in .three ways: First, such laws will give an increased value to the 1914 1915 and 1916 crops of ir. re than $4,000,000,000. Sec ond, such laws will prevent a depreciation in personal prop erty and real estate of from S 1,000,000,000 to S3,ooo,000, 000. Third, such laws will stamp out boll weevil and remove an impending danger hanging over this Stnte like a nightmare. Mr. Stackhouse's calculation seem very plausible if the. prohi bition law could be legally framed and effectively enforced. Be sides, it would obviate another difficulty that a law reducing the .ci cage per horse or work animal might give rise to, in the apparent discrimination it would work in favor of the big farmer who would continue to produce his hundreds of bales while the one-horso far mer would be restricted to a few bales. Hon. W. F. Stevenson, who went to Texas to advocate the acre age reduction proposition, in his address to the house of represen tatives in Austin advocated a reduction of So per cent A dispatch under Austin date line says Mr. Stevenson "addressed the house on the question of the reduction of the cotton acreage as the only salva tion for the "farmer in the South." The dispatch quotes Mr. Ste venson as follows: "Our legislature meets Tuesday and I dare say that within the next lo days we will have passed a law providing for the re stricting of the cotton acreage to about 5o per cent of the present acreage." He pointed out that while South Carolina does not produce over 1,500,000 bales of cotton, that State will take the lead in the movement to reduce the acreage. He said his mission to Texas was to see what was the prospect (or some action being taken in this State along the same line. His speech was received with great applause. -? ' This sounds promising, but it is a pity that the address could iot have been amended to accord" with the new light received by 'Mr. Statehouse in favor of a "no-planting" campaign. MOGS WORTH $1,800 RAISED ON SEVEN ACRES. There is a farmer in Anderson county who several years ago decided that thtre was more money in hogs than in cotton. He had a farm which would produce about one fourth of a bale of cot ton t?- an acre. He gave his attention tu raising hogs and this year t is reported that he made ?1,800 worth of hogs on seven acres of old wpfn out cotton land. This goes to show what can be done in Anderson county, and1 when it is known that a big hog is worth more than a bale of cotton, it will bc seen that good busiiness judgment ?viii dicta'- that it is a good idea to mix the two. Mr. B. M. Aull is .1 benefactor fur giving Anderson county this record. CONSIDER THC PAirer There is much real information Ht-it ?>**j*y Jj? rr c\ i ric (? ?J*O??? ?\ circus For one thing, it is a marvel how the cooks can get up a first-class tab'-de-hote dinner for a; city of 1.200 persons that drops down almost out of the skies. The meals i?rVed under the Cook tent back of the "big top" are plentiful, iavory and tempting. Circus peo ple, especially the acrobats, have regular diet and "cannot eat too much before a performance, but always get at least one hearty meal a day, and at no time suffer x>r something to eat. Passing from the cook tent on a warm, sunny afternoon, we may ?ce the bearded lady darning her hose and other such evidences of iomesticity, ali of which give- a clearer idea of the humanness of the great traveling entertain ment, which is as distinctly Amer ican as baseball, draw poker, or primary elections. There is another feature of the circuk that always appeals to som! persons, ?herein nameless TM? ^particular feature is the :ti?rst of the camel. No flaming posters tell of this marvel but truly wonderful it is--and what would not some persons give for that thirst! . The stomach of a camel, we are told, ls divided into four com partments, and 'the walls of these are lined with cells which can be I opened or closed at will by the use of powerful muscles. When ? camel drinks he is not satisfying 'his thirst bul ia fitting up his reser-^_ voirs. When he drinks, the can-.el drinks and drinks and drinks and the Siiiail boy and inc oid toper j look on in undisguised amazement and admiration. As soon as each cistern te fibed, it is closed until the day of need thereof. :How many an automobifist on a'long trip would like to be constructed like a camel,-unless there* are numerous springs along the way. For as thc .camel's thirst needs slaking, he merely empties one of the water cells into its stomach, and we are told that one or two cells hold sufficient for a day. The camel can go Tor six days without drinking, which is very necessary in'crossing deserts where wells are hundreds of miles spart. The camel is only one of na-1 ture's wonders ih the circus. For! instance, take the noble giraffe. With that long gullet or aeso-i phagus of his, Consider how long he is permitted to enjoy a drink I of water. Gee,' it is bully. WJ B. oooooooooocoooooo o A TALK ON THE COTTON o o SITUATION. o o ? - - o o Thc cotton problem is ?nie o o tu be solved by the Southern o o States themselves, lt would " i? be unwise for the national o i? government to interfere o o either by taxing cotton or u o prescribing the amount <?f o o acreage. o o We believe that uniform o o reduction of the cotton acre- o o age throughout the cotton o o belt for 1915 in some man- o o ncr which will be generally o o and uniformly enforced is o o absolutely essential to re- o o store the confidence of thc o o fina icial world in the value o 0 of cotton and induce invest- o o <>rs to buy cotton, we there- o o fore heartily ind??rsc all o o county organizations in the o o cotton belt formed and or- o o ganized for the purpose of o o reducing the cotton for 1915 o o and believe that such organi- o o zations will be helpful in re- o o ducing cotton acreage and n o production of food crops so o o essential for the prosperity o o of the South. . o o But we are of thc opin- o o ion that such *o,:,,.t\ organ- a o ?zations, even if ti.__v cove" b o Hie entire cotton belt and in- o o elude every ottoi farmer m .?? o 'ie South will not restore :. ? 4,:e necessary zoutideucc in .', o 'be value of cotton to cause o o investors to enter at the pres- o o eut low price. o o Wc believe that state le.t?- o u ?station reducing cotton acre- o o age for 1915 to a basis which o o will diminish approximately o (} 5o per cent of the pi?sen't ri o acreage will immediately re- o o store confidence in cotton o o and cause investors to buy o o cotton up at least to the cost o o of production and furnish the o o farmers bf the South ?mme* o o diately a market for their o o cotton, v 0 o A few; words about how to ,o o help ' the* farmer in his dis- o o (tress. , - o o i Everybody is hurt when o o the farmer goes down.

Tile most available mid uiost sitft nblo crops fur silage are Indian cort?, red clover, uorghuni and alfalfa. In dian corn makes tbo best silage, al though nil varieties of corn arc suit able, writes a Nebraska former In the Iowa rioincHtend. The Important point ls to secure the most tons of ferd per acre. I^irge dent varieties ?re favor-, ttes. Experiments have shown that sliugc corn contains tho most nutri ment when kernels begin to ?laze mid before lower.leaves become dry. There ls no question but that all green crops can bo successfully en siled. However, taking nil tilings Into Every year in which tlicre Ia a shortage bf feei stock must bc sac rificed, and possibly With n good year following it ls impossible to secure stock to consume thu feed which ls grown. Tho silo will even up till:-, condition. Tho man with a good reservo of silage on hand ls always In a position to take advan tage of whatever may turn up lu connection with the handling of llvo stock. Tho farm with tho ?Ho ls es sentially a better llvo stuck farm. consideration, corn ls hy far the best When corn is:used the entire plant. Including tho ear, should bc placed In the silo. The silo may bc tilled ns fast as the crop ls hauled from the field, though rapidity of filling is un important so long os fresh fodder ls placed on top before mold formB. Corn should always bo cut, us lt packs bet ter, is moro readily hauled.-und. the stock eap it ee&ter. Thc shortc the fodder, the be*tar. One-half an inch is common length. To prevent waste after the silo han been filled Btttw cnn be placed on top to a depth of six Inches or u foot. A better method, however, is to place tarred paper over tho top and then cover with straw, silage ls pre-emi nently a feed for dalry cattle. It takes eight to ten men five days ?A on ? 12 by 27 u"o. which tnlies Hf teen acres of com. There should be three or four boya in tho silo tramping lt SU.nge is a. necessity with breeding cattle, growing stock and yonng ani mals. They eat lt with relish ami benefit from it, as it keeps tho bowels normal, the body tissues snappy, skin pliant ami coat glossy. These all ninrk the stock in. condition to make the most from their feed. Three tone of silage nre equal to ono ton of bay fo. feeding,. and..as silage costs on the average'$&J*v'fon it ls much cheaper than bay. ?n Tact, lt is one of the most economical feeds. - STREAKS IN BUTTER.
