(.'lias, M. Schoror in Progressive Farmer.
During the last two weeks wo
have hud opportunity to talk to
a numbei of our 1'rogressive
Farmer readers who desire to
plant something tins fall but
who say their land is t^o dry tor
plowing. In addition to those
who have said this to us in conversation,
there have been a 1
number who have written the
same tiling. Even a number oi
iliece persons have stated that
they have made 110 tall garden,
t?r the reasoD tha' it was too dry 1
to sprout seeds it the garden had
been plowed. It can bn said (
with 110 tear of being successfully 1
contradicted, that in ninely-live '
cases out of a hundred these '
lands could have been plowed *
with reasonable ease and in two- c
thirds ot the cases seeds could *
have been sprouted if the land 1
had been well managed earlier 1
in the season, Good cultivation '
frequently done would have let
water soak into the soil and f
would have prevented it from 1
parsing from the soil oft in'o the ^
air. That would have kept
enough water in the soil for the
present needs. By the use ot |
stable manure?anything to till 1
the soil with vegetable matter?
the soil could have been kept i
loose aud the vegetable matter j
would have held water just as
naturally asjblotting paper draws !
up ink from a sheet of writing ]
paper.
An abundance of vegetable j
matter in the soil and fr?quont
cultivation theu. would have '
made the breaking ol the soil ,
i * i. * - - - - 1
i?iiu tut! sprouting OI seeds quite i .
practical in a lirge majority oi ^
the cases. Il one is a doubter on
this point, let him begin bv j
managing some small plot in the '1
manner suggested The home |
garden i* a good plot to begin
with. Alter it ia seen what reulls j4
will lie got, tho ambition will be
aroused to work the same way 1
on a larger acreage. Consider c
that good crops are made on mil- '
lions ol acres in this country in
districts where tho rainfall dees 1
not exceed fourteen or sixteen 1
inches. Those who hive com c.
plained about tbe dry weather |
live where the rainfall is titty or
sixty inches per year. These 1
sections ot small rainfall have 1
some things in their favor, but *
he main reason that goo 1 crops
are made under such conditions v
is that ttie farmers have learned 9
how to save rain-water alter it H
falls on their land. Learning
how to save the rains is one ol ^
ine Dig problems ot good farm-11
ing. Most cultivators of the s ?il i 0
think o! the rain only when it is j F
too wet or too dry to work ih?ir 11
land. Storing it in the st.il fori8
use when neighboring farmers'c
cannot work their land is ill-;1
proper aim; a'd that mean?)1

Agreement with the result die- '^le a
dosed i?? our annual cotton crop we H1
^eport issued September 4, and J,J!Ver
hows, as President. Finley of Ihe I
he Southern railway in effect
ays, that the cotton mill inlustry
of the South suffered less A ,u
luring the period of general busness
depression than the mills and lm
n other sections of the country,
ind this notwithstanding the Tar coi
ailing off in tiade tor China, up- Fackag
>n which many Southern mills
ilace large dependence. With R. .F
mod reason Mr. Finley looks
ipon the report as furnishing additional
evidence of the superior ^,n
advantages of the South as the ^estei
ocation for cotton mills.
The strides the South has tak- OMe '
m in cotton manufacturing in re- ^
sent years and the comparative ^h<
y moderate decline in the vol- c,rcu
irae of consumption last season en,eri
s certainly a cau?e lor satisfact- ^ie P1
on and gratification. From an ec* ^
