Some have learned to get along without depending on cotton for n hi >ney crop, and the sooner a'l learn lie lesson tho better will be the mint ry. '1 h v-c near tlse factories arc trucking but the larger part of our citi/ 'tis uv too far remote to cater to the Mile, hut there is no reason why hoy should not raise bread and meat "<>r the factories and towns. Wheat has now become a cadi ropand a more healthful vig >r would hp instilled into everybody if there were in >rc advertisements in The I'tMr.s Jike that of (1 iu!t I ires.

IJy this time r.erct vcar wo want to hear of wheat f >r ssilc by every farmer in the county. While the tJauK boys are good farmers they arc not so much latter than my others that they are able to haul vheut to market instead of eottou: o:!i- ; < can do the same thing if tiro would only try. Mr. John Katulolph brought us in a sample of turnips which were as line as wo ever saw at any fair. One a re of such turnips would fatten twenty hogs. Mr. Henry (inllman is not a cotton ro: uy any moans?l\vo years ago ho sow t!ie folly of his way ami though <vcn miles from town regularly supplies several families with vegetable-, milk, hotter and chickens, from his -urolus watermelons and vegetables lie raised an 1 sold 1 ,!? ?<> pown's of hoy mutt la>? year and thinks ho will bo able to i>p?iiv 1 .f-Ott this year. Wo know of one man who hr.d n , three acre pntc*!i which ho sowed in oat < and when they were out put in t eow peas, a::d besides wintering a | cow and horse s??ld I( () worth from that patch. Witli cow pen hay for | the cows, turnips for hoys and wheat i for the family. Why should a I'nion I county farmer worry about cotton? S une may say that he needs cotton to bring him ready money. Won't do! If he converts pen vires it to i md!.. butter or beef cattle and vegetables and waste products into lews ! nothing sells more rapidly?while 1 wheat is more staple than cotton and always brings spot cash. If the farmer will use the right kind of fertilizer and as much care in the preparation of his lands for j grain, as he does f >r cotton, the westj cm farmer wi!i have to eat Lis corn ! and Hour or ship it to the Philippines. !
