Mr W. A. Miller, local manager
of the Day Ranch Company, says
the Day lands will be limited to 30
acres of cotton to the family. If
farmers throughout the cocVm belt
reduce the cotton acreage according-
ly,the 1915 crop will be materially re-
duced and the price of the staple
should be correspondingly higher.
Mr. Wilier says the Day Ranch
farmers will diversify, looking more
to feed stuffs and hogs. Many
farmers will plant a considerable
acreage of beans and the Day Ranch
Company will put in a bean thresher
to facilitate the handling and market-
ing of same.

The Self-Culture Club of Coleman
reports the sale of its bale of cotton,
which together with the seed, netted
the club $41.00. This bale of cotton
was raised On a vacant, block within
the corporate limits of the city of
Coleman.' *
There are many vacant lots in Cole-
man that grow nothing but weeds
Why not other organizations take up
the example of the Self-Culture
Club and cause the vacapt lots to
grow something useful?
