FARMER'S PROBLEMS. We see in the papers a great de; about the farmers unions, convei tions, etc, and their efforts to kee the price of cotton from declininj Ii is a great problem, and in solvin it we have to meet and overcorn the speculation interests backed b large financial interests. This c course can only te done by concei ted action on the part of all partie interested, if it can be done at al There is, however, another prob em confronting the farmers, if al most as much concern as the ques tion of prices. It is the labor con dition. An investigation sf th< facts will show that the farmer i: as dependent upon the negro farn laborer for the planting, cultivating ana narvesting of his crop as he is upon the great financial interests for the prices he shall receive for it He is between two mill stones, both of which are grinding him. The labor trouble is one largely contributed to by the farmer himself. The farmer's conduct and attitude makes the negro independent and himself dependent; and furthermore, his conduct has the tendency to make a poorer citizen of the negro. How many farmers are there who have large sums of money tied up in negroes, because they have backed them up in some devilment, paid their fine or employed an attorney to defend them? They seem to think, if they don't do this, they will have no hands working upon their farms. The negro knows this and if Mr. A will not agree to do this he promptly informs him that Mr. B across the way will do it Some worthless negro will go to a merchant during the year and give a mortgage over property he does not own or forge some man's name as an endorser r>f a ? u uuvc> rf lit'11 pay day comes the deception is uncovered. 1 hen some white man, in oider to have him the next year, steps up and pays the amount due, that ends it What does the negro think about it? Why, he think3 and says, "If I gits in trouble. Cap will pay me out." Now the question arises, who is to be blamed, the negro or the white , man? There is but one answer,?the j white man. The next question: 1 Can we rid ouroelves of this servile J djp' dependency upon the negro farm 1 laborer? We can if we will all I r-' >f- ' <v * act fair with e*ph other, if some j one violates the law, let him suffer ' . the penalty, have nothing to do with >hhn. If some citizen of the community is corrupting and imjycpperjy. influencing the negroes, let . the better element wait upon him. There usually is a way to rid a community of such influences. , it should be understood . that no farmer is to run after anothers ( hands and undertake by fair or , foul means to secure them from such one for himself. 12n all such , matters each farmer should be cog# nizant and appreciative of his broth er farmer's interest This is a Ques tion the farmer's unions ami other organizations could well consider The remedy is in the hands of the farmers. If they fail to apply it that is their fault and they have no right to blame others for their condition. S IT'S EQUAL DON'T EXIST.

Reports from various sections of the State indicate that the ravages of the cotton caterpillar are decidedly general. The old cotton has suffered relatively little from its attacks, but it appears from reports in many instances that the late cotton has sustained rather considerable damage. In its feeding, the caterpillar eats preferably the young leaves, buds, and squares of the cotton. The eggs are laid on the under side of the leaves of the cotton, usually on the larger and lower leaves. These hatch out into the striped caterpillars seen so abundantly, and becoming full grown, "web up," forming a chrysalis or cocoon from which emerges an olive to clayi yellow colored moth about 1 Vt inches from Up to tip of wings, with a leaden colored spot on each fore wing' The eggs which are overtaken by frost perish and hence we find that the bulk of these forms pass the winter in the chrysalis or pupal stage. Fall plowing of affected areas will be of great destructive damage to the wintering forms. The best remedial measure is the application of Paris green at the rate of 2 Vi pounds per acre applied in the drv form in th#? ooi-k. - 9 ?? %?v UiUI U ing when the foliage is moist A one inch board, about 6 inches in width, about 6 inches wider on each end than the widt|i of the cot" ton row, and trimmed in the middle so as to make it easily handled before a man on a mule is the chief piece of apparatus needed. A one or two inch sugar hole should be bored in either end so as to fit the rows, and under these should be tacked an 8 ounce duck bag. The Paris green can then be poured into these bags and the opening closed. If intelligent labor is used, by experimenting, a jolt on the board can be determined sufficiently strong to put out the required 2 to 2% pounds to the acre. Should this not be the case, it would be better to use chew?? clo h bi^dilute the Paris green to about 10 times its volume with land plaster, flour, or air slacked lima The caterpillars taking this substance into their digestive tracts are poisoned by the arsenic contained in it, and death follows as the result Paris green may be obtained from almost any drug store at about twenty-five (25 ?) per pound.

This should be stopped Some birds are the friend of the fanner and should be protected Their greatest work is to destroy insects. The boys in the family may do a great good by building bird houses about the barn, house and shade trees. The houses should be kept uut of reach of cats and dogs. Give sach room G inches of floor space ind make it 8 inches high. A singe opening near the top 2 inches in iiameter should be made for large )irds, but for small birds such as he wren a 1-inch door will do. When I was a small boy I would rap and kill birds, but I know beter now, and wish I had known bejre now. I have built a great many bird ouses this year and put up about i le farm. And the birds build j ests in thein, too. I used old oards or planks. If birds felt that man was a friend nd not a foe, they would often iru to him for protection.
