Facts That Should be Preserved. y ? . ' ? ' - . . . -*- * Halley's comet is fast speeding to ward -the'earth and in anot&er week will be visible with the aid of-strong glasses in $he early ? morning in the East. Scientist all over the world are deeply interested in the comet's coming and while the average run of people : know very little about such things, they are preparing to enjoy or be awed and thrilled by the-gorgeous spectacle which will soon fill the sky just the same.. On, April 16 it will rise at 4 a. m. On April 24 i> will rise at 3.30 a. m. After May 20 it wilL.be seen in the West after sunset. Oh May ?>4 it will rise at 3 p. m. On May 20 it sets at 7.45 p.m. On May 30 it sets at 10 p. m. After the isis of June the comet will be faint and will soon disap pear out of sight. It will probably be visible to the naked eye by the middle of April, - but it will then be in, the morning sky and one must look for it in the East about tr/0 hours before sun rise. On ^Hy 14 the comet will pass directlj between the earth and the sun ,nd will Jae only 13,000,000 roiT<?8 from the earth. This will be it? closest approach to the earth and after this ? date the comet will move rapidly away from the earth and sun and will soon be lost to view. On account of its rapid mo tion it will be seen in the West' again in the evening, from. May 20 until the early part of June, when it -will fade rapidly as it hastens on ward, along its outward path. For some days_ before and after May 18, if the prognostications of astronomers are correct, th?Njo.met will be , a magnificent object. It's ???ead is over 190,000 miles in diame ter, and its tail is . moravian 5,000, 000 milesia length, a^nd. constantly growing; Without doubt the bril-, liant tail will ex^^U^ ot^bjj-ti^ .^he-iis?asce ?rom the horizon -to the zenith buring, its close approach tb the earth, and the earth may be enveloped in the tail as it. sweeps pastU8, on the J 8th of May. * Bot "as a comets tail is exceedingly Aim-: sy, being nothing" more than tiny partiulesrof gas OP fleeks of dust, its visit to us will cause us no in convenience, v . j - I don't like your heart action," the doctor said, applying the stetho scope again.

In Order to Avoid Possible Dis aster Farmer's Should Re duce Cotton Acreage This Year. I All reports indicate that the mills I will by concerted action make a de termined effort to keep down the price of cotton. The farmers can 1 maintain a profitabl? price by con troling production of raw material. .The following is a dispatch that was sent out from Boston a few days ago which shows what is"being done to'curtail production by the" mills : "Fifty per cent of tb/ spindles in southern cotton mills are, idle, ac cording to statistics which have^ been assembled by the American Wool and Cotton Reporter. "The ligures show that the cur-/ tailnient in progress i not only in the south but in ail sections of the coun try, both north .and south, is more extensive and drastic than has ever be?n'known in the history of the trade, even taking into considera tion tte panic year of/1907. '"The greatest curtailment comes among the yarn mills, although re striction of production among weav ing mills is greater than ever be fore. Mill after mill is closing down entirely, until new cotton ar rives or market conditions improve, while, with the. majority of others the amount of curtailment varies from 20 to 100 per cent, with many mills running on orders only. The following, are the percentage of spindles idle by states. "Alabama, 36. per cent; South Carolina,'31 per cent; North Caro lina, 49 per cent; Georgia, 30 per cent; Tennessee, 80 per cent; Vir- ' giiiia, 60 per cent; Mississippi, 63 per cent.

Death of Mrs. Holland. Mrs. Rebecca Holland departed this life on Wednesday, March 30th, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. F. M. Leppard, with whom she was residing. Mrs. Holland was tho wid ow of the late Bennett Holland and is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Monroe Swearingen and Mrs. F* Ms Leppard, both of whom were children of a former marriage. The immediate cause of her death was paralysis, the last being the third attack, -causing her to be. uncon scious for Beveral days preceding her death.

JWarsh Winner of Second Prize States How Land Was Prepared and Cultivated. By request "oj: the edftor of The Advertiser, Twjill endeavor to give the preparation and cultivation of ray contest acre/ My land had not been planted; i?;'a leguminous crop for six years; .'therefore, it was not in proper state^pf cultivation to ob-, tain: best r?sultai On March 1st, 1909, I cut th? cotton stalks with a cutter and oirtfre ?th cut them with a disk harrow? patting them in small pieces .and' pulverizing the land at'the sarijcktime. At that time the land was .Vipet and cold and I could not plow.'jiscleep as I desired. On March lfltb I laid, off land 6 feet-8 inches, v; with intention of planting a rpw?in the middle later in the seasou. '^'bedded out with a single plow asleep ass a horse could pull, leaving a?smalh ridge in mid dle. On April '5th I straddled thu ridge with disk .harrow pulverizing' the soil well ?n# throwing the dirt toward the bed.. The: same day l broke out the sjnall ridge and fol lowed with.subsoil. I put the plant er -immediately"behind the subsoil, putting the corn nine inches apart. The corn came, up a very good stand. x . " -' On May vStfy I centre-furrowed with shovel aud; followed with sub soil, breaking, tie land about niue inches and then bedded, to centre furrow with turn plow, following each furrow,with subsoil to corn, leaving corn on narrow ridge for about one month. During ttiis time the corn was in a dormant state and became as yellow as gold.' On June 4th,; .the corn was then about 15 inches high, ran around it with. 18-inclf Qrangeburg sweep and applied the -first fertilizer, 1445 pounds in these; furrows. The fer tilizer, was pry own mixture, viz: 450rpoimds 16 ner cen? acid, 450 " -C. S.r.meal, 225 . '** ;Ormjin Kai nit, I covered TOI ?upve witli" af'Dixic Boy plow, leaving a good open fur row, and in this furrow I applied the following compost: 20 bushels cotton seed, 400 pounds of 16 per cent acid, 10? pounds' of muriate of potash and two 2-horse loads of cow barn manure. Immediately covered this with "Dixie-Boy. Then I finished breaking the middles with turn plow. -On June 9th I. thinned and suck ered the corn. From then on I gave it only surface culture. June 15th I plowed out with spring-tooth har row. At this time the eorn was about 4 feet'bigh. On June 22nd I plowed very shallow with Victor sweep. On June-30th planted second crop in middle*, though this was not profitable. Seasons did not suit it and am sure my original crop was cut shoit by trying to cultivate mid adie row. The total cost of fertilizers on original ero p.was $36.20, counting cotton seed at market price and stable manure at 81.50 per load. This gives me a profit of 850 per acre aside from the 10 won in your' contest, which gave nie $60 net profit per acre at feed* price for corn, though I am selling this corn at $2.50 per bushel for planting. So you may figure returns from the acre 85 bushefs. I gathered my corn about 10th of November and immediately put this land fo oats, wheat and hairy vetch which bids fair to make three tons of forage which will be worth $1.75, as it is. a well rounded feed for stock. After this crop is cut I will put it to cotton and am expecting two. bales per acre. If we can have a good rain would like for you to see the forage in about two weeks. I believe agriculture is now in its in fancy. We do not know what can be made from lands of our God favored section and1 we should at ?least be up and doing and striving for the gold. You are doing a good work by arousing enthusiasm for corn rais ing. I think this is enough for me to say at the moment. Tell the boys I have a good stand for my contest patch for this year and just meet me at Edgefield County Fair in the fall and I will tell them something.

I think the farmers are farther ahead with their work than in years though needing rain badly. The grain crop looks promising though needing rain.

Get the land ready for plant ing staple crops. Don't stop with plowing, but narrow and re4iarrow until a perfectly pulverized seed bed- is made. The best paying work is done before planting. 2. " Get good seeds for planting all crops. Don't depend on just what you cari pick up anet don't wait till planting time to buy or select. 3." Select, .prepare and plantspe: cial "seed patches" for your seed corn and cotton another year. , 4. Get the harrows and weeders out and bepn using them. The new H's-1 Hordes and Harrows" will do twice the work of the old H's-"Hired Hoe Hands." -v .* 5. Keep the fire out of the fields. As Dr. Knapp says, "Use more sense and less ! fire." The greatest need of our Southern soils is humus, the most expensive fertilizer is ni-, troge'n; rotting trash and grass^sup ply both.. 6- Keep the garden going. Don't forget that almost everything from radishes to beans and from lettuce to corn should be planted this month. I. Spray and prune and cultivate your orchard. Don't turn it over to the fungus diseases and insect pests, even if it is a little late to start fighting them. 8. Arrange a series of lots for hog pasturing. With Southern pas turing crops we can make pork more cheaply than Western far mers can, but ive can't compete using corn alone. 9. Get I usy in the peultry yard. Don't have chicks hatched with no provision made to take care of them and don't put it off until hot weather. 10. Give the work horses special care. Don't allow them to get poor or havethemsuffering from sorebacks and shoulders. II. Screen the doors and win dows, clean up the back yard and about the barn, get rid of stagnant water about the house. Flies car ry typhoid; mosquitoes cause ma laria. Keep them out. 12. Fix up the-house and yard. Don't allow your home to be lack ing in that beauty which is its in herent right.-Progressive Farmer.. JOHNSTON LETTER.
