Agricultural
Don't Gin Cotton too Soon.
Progressive Farmer.
The subject of cotton handling
'old grating is one now upper
j^ost in the mind-* of all farmers,I
and is one that should receive
unlimited aitennon ami ?u cu-sion.
The handling ami grading of
cotton should begin with the
picking. Cotton isoi'cn harvested
wet and much ? f the early
picking is green.
The farmer rushes this wet,
green stull to ill" gin, where the
stapie is ruined in the g'uning.
The proper way to do is to keep
this wet green c >Uon till if drit >
and matures.
Cotton will gain boh in
weight and quality by holding in
the seed. It is an unquestioned
fact that cotton held in the see i
will gain about one-tenth in
weight for the iirst three months
after picking. AT this rate,
seedcottou that would yield fiy,
hundred pounds of Mut ginned
when it is picked will give five
hun '.red and tit y pounds of lint
if kept for three m mtiis before
ginning.
Cotton should rot be ginned
as-oon as picked. The loss wi 1
amount to at least $5 per bale
in weight alone ii giui.ed inline
" c " # ^ ^ I
diately after picking. 1"l?e staple j
will amount to a loss ot more ;
than one cent a pound in !
price.
A b i'.e ot cotton that will
bring $50 when tinned when
picked will bring $60 or more on
a siiuiliar market if _ nue 1 three
months after pick in jr.
the lint continues to grow in
weimt and quality ui er picking j
up to about thiee months.
Another advantage in holding
the cotton in the see l is that
here can be no report made ot
ttie number oi bales ginned an i
he speculator is thus kept in ignorance
and prevented fiom de?v

lime to the detriment cf the
producers.
The trouble ?vith the market
is not due entirely to the specula'or.
llig fiel l of speculation
extends only as far a* th f irmer
a.lows and no further. If
1'? depresses cotton, the tarru-r i
is to blame, ; r the farmer c.m

! Farmers, Save Your Hills. Idle h

21! Much oi the farming land in I Is Lil
. Johnston County is hilly. Years a w

this hilly land cou'd be protected A detl*

" in#, a large per cent of it was j
J b ?d5 v damaged by the heavy [^ydl'be

r i ami deep guileys were allowed ,,/y
II to lortn on almost every steep c
^ hillside. Little value was attachIII
