It is not farm products but farm profits that puts the farmer ahead in the world. There are some things which point to a large cotton crop and low prices for it this year things you cannot af ford to ignore. What is a man profited if he gathers a great abundance of cotton and spends it all for the cost of making it? Wherewithal, then, shall he buy the things needful which he didn't make? Don't neglect your food and feed crops. Read the article (page 2) about "This Year's Cotton Acreage." Are you doing the kind of farming that makes you proud of your work ? It is' a mighty good idea to do the kind- of work that you are proud of after it is done. It will make you feel that life is worth living. The farmer who :f eels a pride in his farming is generally the farmer whose farming pays well. Read Mr. French's "May on the Stock Farm," page 11. Had you thought of it that a modern cotton farm is the .very place to raise colts? Read Mr. Clarendon Davis's article on page 12. And in the same connection turn back to page 2 and decide whether you'd . rather make your farm .headquar ters for the best horses or a dumping ground for the sorriest. If Southern farms were stocked with the best farm horses in the world, how long would these horses remain the best under the kind of; care the average farm horse, gets in the South? Read Mr. Johnson's article (page 10) on "How to Feed and Care for Your Horse." Is your farm fat " with bread and butter and ham and eggs? If not, is it worthy of being call ed a farm? Read Mr. McLendon's article bn the 13th page. ' . " .- Are you planting or sowing cowpeas and think ing about fertilizers for them and planning your rotation for corn, or. cotton, or Irish potatoes, or. grain? Read Prof. Massey (page 2"), Mr. Parker's answers to farm questions ( page 15), and Mr. Byrd's Irish potato letter on page 15. There are also many questions in your mind, or soon to appear there, which you will find an swered in the numerous longer and ishorter arti cles in this week's paper. FOR NEXT WEEK'S PAPER. "Feeding and Doctoring the Little Ones in Hot Weather," is the subject on which Dr. , Freeman will write for our mother readers next week. "A No-Fence Law for the State" how it will, benefit the counties where stock now run at large as well as help the whole State, is the subject of an interesting letter, from Mr. B. F. Keith, of Wilmington. ' Another article from Mr. J. A. Hoyt tells more specificially about thcorn prizes offered to South Carolina farmers this year. It will interest our South Carolina readers especially and should stim ulate other States to offer like prizes.
