It is natural that, folldwing the large production of cotton last year, there should be a movement on foot now with the object of reducing the 1926 yield of cotton. As a rule, thus agitation doesn’t amount to anything, each farmer regulating his own plant ing to suit himself, and it does not seem likely that any concerted move- Sunday is the shortest day of the } ment for controlling the individual week in Florida, a judge in that! >n this matter will ever meet with State having ruled that the Sabbath j much success.

Cotton Acreage Control. Flov/i rs. An editor up in New York State •vers that “since the undress of fash ion began, certain diseases have completely disappeared.” Including, we assume, poor eye-sight. An Iowa magistrate announces that he will marry couples for a fee of two bushels of corn. There are some in this State who would pro bably do the job for a pint. The •till bootlegger who rebuilt his on the site of a former ■ one destroyed by the Sheriff, evidently worked on the theory that lightning never strikes .twice in the same place. intended. Farmers, like every other class of people, are a selfish lot and thinking that others have decided to reduce their arrqpge, a great many will plant as much or more cotton than the previous year, with the re sult that there is no actual reduction. Another solution of the problem is to urge th farmers to raise their own food, stock feed and everything needed for home use. Then, by the adoption of economical methods in producing his main 'crop, he will have a good chance of showing a satis factory profit at the end of the year, regardless «f the acreage or yield. This, we. think, is the next best plan to drastic acreage reduction. one Sunday School Training School cotton mill in South Carolina. This condition was brought about by the fact that the length of the staple of cotton sold on his market was so poor that the mills in this State would not buy. This condition makes the farmer, sell his cotton for less thanTie should get, the price probably being one or more cents per pound below what it should be. Full inch cotton can be produced from cotton strains of Cleveland Big Boll. One of the most important things to re member is that the farmers will not save pure seed, which can only be done by having their cotton ginned where the roll is thrown and the seed caught direct from the gins. If the farmpfs in Barnwell County should secure 'pure cotton seed this year to plant, “Dixie-Triumph”shpuld be used on wilt infested land, while on all others should Ik* planted Cleve land Big Boll, unless one attempts to grow long staple cotton. If fanners in South Carolina are to produce cotton at a profit, it must be done more economically than ever before. This condition was brought about by the fact that Texas is Ifi- creasing her acreage year after year, and does not use very much fertilizer, ’ nor does she have to contend with the boll weevil as much as we do. Farmers should make a strong effort this year to produce their crop of cot ton as cheaply as possible.
