The Cotton Farmer's Cow
w
The farmer who grows so much cotton that he has no room
for a cow is neglecting: a chance to make some easy money.
If he would follow the advice of the American Cotton As
sociation, if he would plant fewer acres of cotton, use
carefully selected seed and fertilize highly
He would increase his production of lint cotton per acre,
thereby maintaining the standard of supplies, but reduc
ing the net cost per pound;
He would have left acreage on his farm to keep cows, to
raise hogs, to grow fruits and vegetables and grains.
These would feed his family and give him enough extra
casli so that he could store his cotton in the system of
warehouses advocated by the American Cotton Associa
tion and get for it a fair and equitable price.
This Dank, first, last and all the time, is for the American
Cotton Association's program of belter cotton, higher
prices, diversified cropsand more money for all!

the time, while "we," meaning of
course, herself and all oilier folks,
"have to work six days in the week
and from January lo January and
meet our expenses all Ihe time." This
I infer lo mean that we, the teachers,
have no expenses when Ihe school is
over and ihat we do not need any
thing else. Bui lo the uninformed
v ho do not know so much of the
blest stale of the teachers as the lady
above mentioned I wish to say we
are not fed with heavenly manna,
neither are we clothed with gar
ments that waxeih not. old.
We have never struck for higher
wages but If w e were lo consider who
is going lo look after the up keep
of our insurance premiums in order
Ihat the undertaker might be saved
when we have ceased the work and
who is to look after our immediate
descendants, why then we might be
gin to ask "When?" But we are not
martyrs; we love the work and
hence we are in It. still we have to
eat and wear clothes as other folks
and Incidentally we think we ought
to have enough to pay for them.
I wish to say further, and what I
am atying for myself, I am saying
for my co-laborers because they are
lust a.i Hue to their work as I am
to mine and In many rases much
more ro. We are not so bad a set
of folks after all. as one might think
and if only we could have a word of
encouragement now and then instead
of continued odium and malediction
I think we might be better. But it
seems the teachers are the common
receptacle for the fiisilliade of abuses
that begins with the highest officials
ind 8top3 not till It reaches Ihe hum
blest citizen of the land. For any and
'very wrong In Ihe school the teacher
Is to blame. If that apathetic, dia
bolical boy who has received no more
training in the home than the pigs
and the pups, fails lo make good
when he comes to school the teacher,
recieves the Invert Ion.
I thank the Master for John and
Ihe He of Palmos. But lor that,
we would give up. Blessed be the
thought that that large company had :
come up through great tribulation ;
and friction snd I am assured that (
If being stoned and sown asunder are .
signs of ihe blissful slate of ihe re-!
deemed beyond, the teacher will,
surely be numbered In Ihat happv
thnvn S'sier, God has hern good,
to you, he has made 4011 eloquent of1
speech, can't you use thai lo scatter
sunshine and be a little more eco
misfltic and wouldn't that he better?.

I was standing near headquarters

Finally I called him over and ask-,

The captain grinned. "It's this
