Putting in Fall Oats. >
Fertilizing, Plowing, and
Seeding Discussed.
Progressive Farmer.
Now is the time to begin to prepare
yourselves to battle against
the cotton bears that are sure to
come after you next fall.
Begin now to put in a large
crop of Jwinter outs We never
fail making a good crop of win
ter oats when we can get them in
the ground just right before the
first of November.
Plow the land deep, harrow
smooth and drill the seed in open
furrows.
I use a common cotton planter
with a fertilizer attachment
(i and put in from 150 pounds to
200 pounds of 10?4 acid phosph
ate to the acre. It is a waste
of money to use very soluble
ammonia ted fertilizers on small
grain sown in the fall.
We use a shovel plow about
six or eight inches wide on the
planter foot to open the furrow
and make the rows just close
enough not to allow any loose
dirt to roll back in the open
trench, and run the rows nearly
on a level, but should empty out
gradually at each end.
BNever on any occasion jjsow
I seed oats in the fall that has not
been grown from fall sowing at
least three years ; at which Jthis
seed may be considered as! having
the established habit of winter
growing.
We would also g.ve thej preference
to seed already grown by
the open trench system over
that seed grown from broadcast
sowing, though we have no po?i.
Itive proof that ihe 'open trenchgrown
seed are the safest.
Wo caution all new beginners
about securing lirst class pure
clean seed. Almost any up?todate
farmer would toll you that
seed oats or wheat planted with
cheat, cockle or smutty stuff
would not only fill your lands
with these foul seeds, but they
reduce the yield to an extent
that would make it profitable to
pay live or more prices for pure
seed than to take foul seed at no
cost.
We are now preparing to mow
down a crop of about two tons of j
pea vine to the aero on land Miat !
was abandoned three years back i
by an improvident renter that
failed to get more than five
bushels of corn or 150 pounds of i
seed cotton to the acre.
ivrep plowing, cowpeas, and
from 150 pounds to 200 pounds oi
acid phosphate to acre on each
crop is all the secret there is in
this.
This simple application of a
little common horse-sense, a
good deal of horse sweat in a cooperative
way, with nature, has
made this land that was barren
bloom again with profitable crops
that average over thirty bushels 1
of oats and from one to two tons 1
of pea hay to the acre all in one 1
year. This land next year would 1
grow a good profitable crop of <
corn without any fertilizer, or ]
with the application of about 150 |
pounds of acid phosphate we be- t
lieveit easy tojgrow 1,000 pounds ^
of seed cotton to the acre.
(
After a good crop of peas we
don't need to add any more ni? '
trogenous manure. Ordinarily,
we have plenty ot this costly

Cuba's Sugar-producing Capacity.
i
l'rof Julus Wolt of the Gar- J
man University at Breslau his
made a calculation as to the sugar-producing
capacity of Cu- r
ha. After careful calculation
he is of an opinion that 44,000 ^
square miles of arable lands are
available in Cuba for susrar
culture, and that suerar can now
" ]
be produced in Cuba at a cost of
$1.20 per 100 pounds, which is
very much less than the cost ot
producing sugar in Germany.
The present cane fields of Cuba,
we are told, cover scarcely more
than 1,500 square milos, or on- ;
lv about one third of the available
area that might he devot ed
to 'lie production of 'his crop.
In view of these facts the Ger
man scientist expresses great
tear as to the injurious effect, ot
competition between Cuba and
Germany in the production of
sugar. ? News and Courier.
Have the Negroes Labor Organizations
?
Ncwberrv special in the 8'ate:
The negro labor problem in Newberry
has become a great annoyance
to tarm-Ms and housekeep
era. For some I'm* it has been
reported that there is an organization
or organizations among
the colored people, something
in the nature of a labor union,
regulating the price and hourit)
which the members am pertnitted
t> work*, and tor whom '
they may work. It i-. reported
that there are lis's ot white people
in an l about town for whom
no member may perlorm any
kind of work.
There seems t<> be ample pi oof '
that the town is districted and
that certain colored people have
erlain whit;- prople assign*d to
hem, lor whom they may work,
while they arc? forbidden under
penally of tines to work tor any 1
that are not on their lists. One
of the leading white men re 1
peatedlv sent lor a colored man
to cut wood for him. Finally '
he saw the old fellow and ask- '
ed him why he did not come to (
cut his wood. The reply was: 1
"Why, boss, if I cut your wood 1
I would have to pay. Vouse '
not on my list. Youse on Mr. (
's list." 1

"Turkey Sam" Killed for Assaulting"
Another Negro's
Daughter.
Laurens special in Columbia
State: Ire Ileum ison, a colored ^
rarmer, aged about 50, livinsr
\
near Hansford, this county, came r
to town last night at midnight j
and delivered himself up to the
dierilf, stating that be bad shot
a young negro by the nam* of J
Sam Fuller, commonly known 3
as "Turkey Sam." e
According to Henderson's c
itatement, the killing occutred
ate yesterday atlernoon at lr>s
jwii house. Fuller was pick- 1
ng cotton for Henderson, being ihme
in the field yesterday af- t
ernoon with Henderson's 8'ep- \
laughter. Henderson, who was 4
lot faraway, was Mtracted by I
ries of the girl as if in distress. ^
Upon going to the field Fuller ^
made off, but later returned to k
die bouse and attempted to enter, ?
when Henderson warned him j
jot to come in. Fuller became If
ibstreperous and insisted on en-leering
the bouse over the old N
nan's protests when Henderson, f
who had secured his gun, fired ^
>n the fellow, killing him on '
he doorsteps.
Fuller, it appears, had assaultid
the girl in a very brutal mauler,
beating her with a club,
lenderson says she is in bed ^
ram the effects of the assault.
