The prosperity of the United States depends upon the prosperity of agriculture. When the colonists settled in America, they farmed on a small scale. The implements for farming were very, wry crude. For feitilracr a fish was put under each iill of corn. At the time Washington became president of the United States, most of the people lived by agriculture but the mode of farming was stilL,ve»*y crufi*. >^Wooden plows were used. The reaping machine had not yet been invented and hardly a man in America had seen the machine for threshing which had just been in vented in England. The grain was cut by a scythe which the Egyptians had u**ed Jot thousands of years. Many cf the simplest and most common of Isfaor saving devices were unknown t© American farmer. He grew or killed his own food and made his own •clothes. The manufacturing industry began to outgrow the farming industry; as it increased the demand for cotton increased but as long as the lint had to be separated from the seed by ’.hand little of the staple was produced m America. In 5TTi>b Eli Whitney in dented the cotton gin. This invention made cotton so profitable thac it soon became the leading product of the South. In 1831 tike reapii g machine took the place of the ancient scythe. By 1850 other machines for growing .and harvesting grain crops had come into use. Farming was becoming less of drudgery and agricultural pw> intabout fifty years the South began itrudk farming.. It was still the land of cotton, however, and produced About three f ourths of tfa* cotton grown in the world. Many la bor saving devices were invented in Uhe Tlnited States about this time. In the early part of the twentieth cen tewry rthe government began spending minion* of dollars each year in dew ctttBtnd&ng to the farmer how to im prove nail, select crops best suited for he location, destroy insects, and how to make livestock, poditry raising and dairying profitable. Agriculture be came so prosperous that today it is the W")g industry an the United States. Modern implements which help to make agriculture so pipsperous are divided in four groups: (1) tilling machines which are used tto prepare the soil to receive the seed; (2) drills, seeders, and planters for yRacing the seed in the aail; (3) cultivators for working the growing crop; and (4) harvesting machines for gathering the matured crop . Education is one of the mast im portant factors which makes agri culture more prosperous today than it was in the colonies. All over the country boys are being taught agri Lulture. They are being taught the most effective ways of farming such as, selecting the best seed and fer tilizers and cultivating crops by the most effective methods. We are edu cating our boys and girls of today, therefore ,we shall have educated farmers and farm women of tomor row. In fact ,agriculture has become so prosperous that toda ywe have a (Continued on back page) Mrs. Quinn Dead Mrs. Louise Quinn, aged 60, died last Friday at the home of her daugh ter, Mrs. Jesse Milam.
