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.

Fifteen Great Results Made Easier
Bi/ Using the Cale One-Horse
Grain Dritt
{ You get your grain sowed early in cotton and corn fields.
2. You save seven-eighths of the labor required to break land and
sow grain.
3. You get a larger yield and a- sure crop. No winter-killed gram.
4. You get two crops from land that has been producing only .me.
5. Your land gets the benefit of a winter cover-crop, which retards
.suiBJ temiM A"q \\os sqj jo Suupuai pme SuiqsBM
6. The grain stubble and roots add humus to your soil.
7 Having been sowed early in the fall you get the grain off early*
and follow with p'eas or corn.
8 The peas gather nitrogen from the air worth many dollars per
acre and a iso add more humus io your soil. _
?? Plenty of~oats and peavine hay make it possible tb keep more
and better stock,
io More stock means more money and better living at home,
il. More stpek also means more barnyard manure, thus adding
fertility, humus, and crop-making bacteria to your soil.
\2 Peas corrie off the land in time to do deep"plowhlg~?t"the right
time--late summer or early fall. - !
13 More humus and deep fall plowing make crops st r.d dry weather
or wet weather better than before.
14 More humus, more barnyard manure, and fall plo^ng improve
the nature of the soil and makes it easier and cheaaey.to cul
tivate. 'Vf
i 5 Having.part of the land in grain and peas leaves less land to be
cultivated, so you can, cultivate it better and put twice as
muqh, fertilizer per acre, in half the time.
