C., C ENTERPRISING CORPORATION. | THE C. C. OIL MILL AT ABBEVILLE nnvc inucc ciuhcdv ! wwiw kvn?? winnkii . The Combined Gins Under One Management Will Reduce the Cost of Ginning and Packing. I. The Abbeville Oil Mill has bought Mr. Loug's ginnery, and will henceforth run that plant in serving the public. Mr. Long reserved the big brick building in which his roller mill was operated. While there are corporations and corporations, and while just complaint may be 7 laid at the door of some of them, the history of the Carolina-Chemical Oil Mill ComI pan y at Abbeville is all to the good. , When the price of wood and coal were { at such figures that wood could be advan tageously used we have heard that the oil mill advanced to farmers the ready cash with which to cut their wood, and that the JT advances so made were without interesl. ? And now we learn that with the enlarged j: facilities the oil mill will next season re, duce the price of ginning from something j like 25 to 30 per cent; so that the ginning of a bale of cotton will probably cost from ? 70 to 90 cents, according to weight of bale. ? Both ginneries will be operated as heretofore when the work demands. At the oil mill there are eight gins, and at Eong's * ginnery there are the same number. If the management ol the oil mill carries out its present plans, the profit to its cus" tomers will range from twenty-fiye to ? fifty cents a bale. While we know that the . customers at the oil mill ginnery are not ' particularly In need ol the money, yet we , believe that they may find use for their !: savings. If they can find nothing of less value on which to spend It they might give it to foreign missions, and then they may f know for a certainty that they have .j thrown away any amount which they may 'i gain bv the oil mill's reduction of cost ol J ginning.

The cro] is one about which inquiry is frequentl; made by farmers and the following i [ written partly, in answer to such questions . It is not a great money crop, not more & 5 than cotton if equal to it, and require more in the way of equipment for it j handling, more labor at harvest time, am more skill in preparing it for market thai I does the cotton crop. It is a crop in whicl . the profits depend very largely uponth | quality of the product offered for sale , the price ranging from $25 up toabou i $100 per ton according to the quality . Five hundred pounds of cured brush pe 7 acre is considered a fair yield. The best quality of broom corn must ti , straight, of good length, fine texture an curedf in such a manner as to be a goc green color when put on the marke I There are two kinds grown, one known t , the standard broom corn and the other i 1 dwarf. This latter is grown extensive! r, in the central west. f In order to secure the quality of stal j mentioned above it is very important 1 ! have well bred seed and it is almost ir s possible to buy such seed in the open ma j kets. One going into the business < r growing the crop should begin at once i 3 select seed with the view of improvir . the plants from year to year. i Any soil that will grow sorghum w ? produce broom corn, and the fertilizer a | plied need not differ from that used c the corn crop when the same quality i e land is cultivated. Since the object i n view is a uniform product in quality ar [ time of maturing, great care should 1 a taken in preparing the soil. It should 1 . well plowed ana tnen narrowea ana r > harrowed until a fine seed bed is secured y Late planting is best on account of ti 3 fact that the young plants make a ver i slow growth when the weather is at a 9 cool, and the crop will come into head at il season when there is not liable to be muc i rain. The seed should be fertilized with e planter that is adjusted to drop a fe 9 more seed than you want plants (four t f five pounds per acre) and under such coi ditions of soil and season as will insui j good and quick germination. Cultivatio similar to what the corn crop requires i t all that is necessary. Weeds and gnu y should always be kept down and the so s mulched with loose earth by frequent cu s tivation with a small toothed implemen e On land that will produce thirty or fort ? bushels of corn per acre one stalk of brooi h corn should be leit every iour or n\ j inches and thinher as the soil becomes lee productive. It is important to have a fu y stand, as there is a great tendency 1 e sucker when the plants are too thin on th s land and the brush from suckers is rar ly of any value, and is not ready to ha: vest with the remainder of the crop. The tops should be cut eight inches b< lew the head when the bloom is fallin and before the seed are filled out, if. th best quality of brush is obtained. Th e brush is immediately hauled out and th seed stripped off the same day. The see stripping, on a large scale, is done b i machinery that may be purchased froj manufacturers. Improvised methods lib the curry comb with long teeth or a stei spiked comb attached to a frame or sid V of a box answers very well where there; only a small quantity of brush to I B stripped. The curing, in order to preserve tli green color, must be done under a ro< 1 and away from vthe sunlight. The tor f from which the seed have been remove are spread in Layers three inches thick o Latticed racks where there is freecirculi tion of air. When no juice can be squeeze out of the stalks by twisting them, th ouring is complete and the brush shoul be removed from the racks. This will r< . quire from four to six weeks. It is the 3 bulked for a period of ten days or tw t weeks to go through a sweat when it i ready to be baled. The tops should t ? -?Infn/lilVarant. irt'A/lt very I'tneiuii) ovu/ou uUUUUlt/>v?? ?. - as mixed brush never sells well. The ba t ing is done with a horse power press. Tfc tops are lapped togeather in the middle < 0 the bale and the butts/stand out ateac end. Bales usually w^elge about three hui 2 ered pounds. The crop requires very careful and pr< * mpt work at every step and considerab outlay in the way of equipment is neces: ary.
