There are . many such stones scattered throughout the world, but the majority of them are jqre marbles compared to the,, famous ro$king stone of Tandil, in South America;,,5 This giant among rocking stores weighs no less than 700 tons, and is situated in , a low range of i hills 250 miles south of the city of Buenos Ayres. It is composed of granite, 'nd contajns 130 -cubic, roejers,. Jt is.injthe shape-stM , a paraboloid, four meters high and five meters in diameter at the . base.

Added to this amount for the seed about 25 bushels -at the con aervative price. of 1 1,50, while .they of ten brine $2 a bushel., would he $37.50, making total for the bale and seed of $130 ' A 00-pound bale of short staple at the present market price of . 10 1-2 cents, $52.50 would be received, while the addition of the value of the seed aDDroximately 30 bushels of short staple-- at the present market value 6t-27vcent8, would be $8.10,' ; would make a Bum total of $60.80 received for one bale of short staple. " Thus the advantage of growing the long staple and gaining 1130 against 160.60 for the same amount of short staple. - v It takes onlv a VSXli more time and possibly a trifle more - care to make the long staple crop, as the life of the long staple variety is a little longer, and consequently has to be planted earlier in the spring in order to have time for it to mature : before frost. The long staple must , be picked be fore the bad weather strikes it if the best price is to be paid for it, but this is true vwith the - short staple also.' ' From the present price of fertili zer and the cost of picking, it would seem that the farmer's salvatidn dies i ... in planting the long staple. i s . Gaston County Is the leader cf the State in' the growing of the long sta ple product. Practically every far mer in the county this year has "a number of acres planted in the long staple'; while there are many" Who cul tivate nothing, else.

Mr, Lewis took a leap the fifth year to, 22 bales, -which he again sold to hif same .
