Cotton again ls king. , Once more the South's chiefest crop ls selling for the cost of production with a profit A surmise to many that tho price should advance la the 'ace of the condition of the marta of the world, yet this but demonstrate? the stabillf of cotton as a money crop, Those farmers who have been able to hold their cotton will at tart reap a good reward for their buslnes foi?> sight Rot lt ls to be hoped that they will not allow this advance to fool them into planting too heavily this year. Food crops are ?a Important as cotton, and it tho farmer will raise an abundance of these crops be can afford to have all his surplus land in cotton. But, isn't it good that cotton sells again for TEN CENTS A POUND? If only this price could have come when the grower had hut full crop! A NEWSPAPER'S MISSION. .. The mission of a newspaper is not alone dlscuaslon of profitless political questions, the publication ot or thc smearing of neighborhood gos sip which should be consigned to oblivion. Such ls not thc mUslou of thc dig nified newspaper. The paper that would help itself must always be ready lo help ha town. Whatever adds lo thc population and wealth of thc town holpB the gaper. The prosper ity of towns and of newspapers is in terdependent, und tho paper th tl ls eager lo help its renders is generally not ni lowed to go un re warded. We repeat "generally" for wo have seen some very public spirited and reully creditable pupers that received very little suppori from the community. Along this line we quote some in teresting comments from the Manu facturers' Record up;>n the subject "What a Newspuper ("un Do." The Record says: : "If those papers that have formed the habit of giving their space lo iMiiitics and sensations would study tho needs of their towns and aid In movements to supply them, they would (ind the business ot newspaper masing more profitable, moro pleas ant, und, in the long run, fur more satisfactory. "Then* are so many communities III the South that need to ho awakened to their own opportunities for ptrofit uble enterprises that hardly anybody knows anything about that every newspaper in that section ought to trumpet them in every issue. To do less seems a neglect of duty. I?ot thoso who have not heretofore pur sued that policy Btudy Industrial con ditions anti commercial possibilities In their rommunities so tliat they can discuss them clearly nnd intelligently, and then muko a rule that no issue of their papers shall go to press without ono or more articles treating of such matters, and they will be surprised to hnd what interesting subjects they have been overlooking. They will also be surprised to find how readily their readers begin to appreciate thc new doparture, with what a spirit of enthusiasm they will Immediately im bue the people general ly. and how great amount of good that will fol low tho continuation of such efforts. "A newspaper ought to regard itself and bo regarded hy others as a busi ness proposition, and not as a politi cal ono, and lt ought to lay tho foun dation of its own business upon thc broadest, most enduring basis hy earnest efforts to build up thc busi ness of its community."-Columbia Rocord. Put the Idle Acres to Work. He would not be regarded as u wiac business man who kept half hts capital idle, nor Is tho mannfa.turlng plant likely to bc* prosperous which run:, or operates only up to half ifs capacity; and yet half the lands ot thc South arc producing no crop of value. Those lands which arc bring ing in no revenue arc consuming thc fruits of our labor from the cultivat ed acres. It takes too large n part of tbec rops of our cultivated acres to pay the Interest and taxes on the Idle acres. lt, therefore, follows that the lands Which are producing nothing ot value should be, put into permanent pas tures as far as conditions and capi tal will permit. Wc mention capital advisedly, for it requires money to' make a pasture. An area of waste land does not become a pasture by merely enclosing with a fence. It Is true that such land will produce some grnslng, and If ' it will furnish enough feed to pay for the fence, and no moro money is available than is necessary to build this fence, then that should be tho first step taken to wards tho making of tbc pasture; but a fence alone will not often produce a ..'?.(id pasture on Southern lands. Pasture plants are slow growing j plants and in the struggle for exist ence, if unaided by man. they are overpowered by rang or vigorous growing non-pasture plants. The sec ond step, therefore, in making a per manent pasturo is to destroy and keep down the non pasture plants. To the extent that this Is done, or to thc oxtcnt this ls practicable, will depend tho valuo of tho pasture and the feed lt -will supply. The third essential to a pasture In the South, at least in tho upland or rolling sections. 1B to prevent tho soil washing away until tho pasture plants establish and fix themsolvea thereon, when they will prevent further washing. The fourth r.t<sp toward a pasture lu tho sowie.r,- ol the seeds of past?te plants -TUo PrcKTcssivo Farmer. -- Are Yon Lctiinir Your Lands I#oaft :*Let us consider a typical Southern hill farm of 160 acres: Such sn average farm will have from 40 to BO acres in cultivation, from three to ten-acres In a pasture, so-called, and the remainder, from 80 to 100 acres. Is lying ont, a source of loss, rather than a source of income. This waste ?.nd represents an Investment' of from ?to to $S0 an acre, and the in terest qn this plus taxes will amount to from $1 to $2 an acre each yeer. How to 'uange this loss' into a gain ls a problem we must solve. . How this can be done ls nearly al ways largely a local problem, but it ls certainly safe to say that in nearly avery case tbe pasture area should he enlarged and grasses and clovers seeded. . Particularly ts this the sur oBt means of making profitable tho rougher lands that should, not be put. under cultivation. Then it will often pay well where only one or two horses and mules are used, to put inoiv of the level br gently rolling lands under th? plow, In order that Implements may bo handled to great est ud vantage and that human la bor may be made more offed Ive. /ou would bot hire a man to work for you and then let him remain idle all day; how about your loafing lands that you have paid to work for you? -Tba Progressive Farmer.

OPEN SUBSCRIPTION LISIS FOR SOCIETY BANKERS WILL SOLICIT MEM BERS FOR PENDLETON SOCIETY THE FEES FIXED Plan Contemplates Bringing In Funds By Taking In Mem bers In 3 Counties. At a meeting yesterday morning at the chamber ot commerce of repre sentative business men of the city and officers of thc Pendleton Farmers' Society further plans were laid for the centennial celebration of thc society il Pendleton next October. At this meeting lt was agreed hy the bunkers of thc city that they will receive subscriptions for the cur rent expense fund ot thc society, and that they would solicit membership Tor the jociety among their custo mers. Thc mem.bcrsbp fee to thc so ciety ls only $1 a year and this year Uiut fee includes a completo history of tlie society.

Thc subscription lints will bc plac ed Jn the hanks of tito throe counties, Anderson, Pickens and Oconec and by this means lt ls hoped that several hundred members may be added to tho already large membership. -. .; ?. Getting Big Crops at Small.Cont, For tho average general crop farm er the biggest single factor in soil productivity is humus-rotted straw, clover leaves" and stems, peavlnes, cotton and corn stalks. The farmer who Alis lils Boil chuck full of -this material has taken out thc be:,* drouth insurance known. Moreover, if a large part of the humus is obtain ed from such soil-building crops aa clovers, (feas and beans, there need be no money spent for fertilisers like cottonseed meal and nitral, of soda. The manw ho does not h ow the wonderful value o? humus has yet to learn his agricultural A B C's. Noxt in Importance ?bines nitrogen, and tho man who for the last flvo years has been doing; really good farming has no need to purchase it. for his methods have been such that he luis hoon Using tho peas, beans and clovers, to draw down and store In his soil tho millions of dollars worth tn tho air above hla farm. Have you worried over your; hoary bli! for cottonseed meal? Have you winced at ti?e prices charged for a ton of ni trate of soda? Fill your soils with humus from tho legumes, and worry no more.
