modern facilities, and inventions
erected at centers of population, made
such centers by the fact that they
were used for the concentration and
barter of stored products, and the
farmer has found it easy, in so far as
his individual needs were concerned,
to purchase on the market that which
he needed, with thekresult that he has
failed to raise that, which, was neces-
sary to supply himself, or raising it,
has sold it on the market only to buy
profitable farming.,

most prosperous and those commun- i
ities which boasted of the most live-
stock have been, the most progressive,
the most contented and the wealthiest,
the land has been the richest, the
crops have been the heaviest.and the
people have been the most intelligent
and the best educated. With the de-
mand for livestock which will follow
the war and last beyond the recon-
struction period, the American farmer
finds his opportunity to improve his
material wealth and his social condi-1
tion through this medium, but to do^
so he must prepare himself to con-j
serve all of that which has been wast-
ed in the past and to utilize on his
farm as feed for his livestock much j
of that which he has placed upon the.
market at any price that was offered. >
He must practice economy, not only
in saving, but in properly handling
that which he produces.

The ninth annual session of the
Woman’s Missionary Council will be
held in Memphis, Tenn., April 2-9, in-
clusive. This date is made necessary
by the plans in progress for the Mis-
sionary Centenary campaign and in
order not to interfere with the serv-
ices of council members in the fifth
liberty loan campaign schedule for
March. The Council Daily will be pub-
lished under a new name, “The Coun-
cil Bulletin.” It will contain an ac-
curate account, of each day’s proceed-
ings, will be published in one volume,
and mailed to subscribers at the close'
of the meeting.
The regular monthly business of
the Missionary Society will be held
Thursday afternoon preceded by the
mission study lessons. This chapter
dealing with life inMtaly is fascinat-
ing, do not miss it. Be prompt that
we may have the full hour. We want
to begin when the clock strikes 3.

Our 1918 cotton crop is estimated
at 11,700,000 bales, of which 6,600,000
will be required for domestic consump-

of about 500,000 bales prior to the

During this war we have been
shown how to produce more at' a less
cost and we have been shown how to
save and conserve. Have we learned
the lesson? Is the Texas farmer go-
ing to profit by this experience, or
will he drop back into the old easy
