Modern Method? T Farmer, Fruit Gro^ Save the Stand of Cotton. ~'At the risk ofi having the "Chest nut bell" rung on me, I am going to call attention to one of the most common and inexcusable faults in the cultivation of cotton. I "will premise the remark, however, that ii according to my experience there is little danger of too frequently call ing attention to a good thing, or of / warning against a faulty practice. The inquiry department shows that a large percentage of its readers pay very little attention to an answer to an inquiry, or to information from . any source, unless the subject mat ter is one that interests them at the time. Very few subscribers take the small trouble of filing away this or any other page, or of clipping out an article to which they may wish to refer later on. I venture to say that a particular article containing useful Information might, be republished once a ?week for a~vear and find new readers every week to the very last, without including the thousands of new subscribers that will have been added to the mail lists during that, time. . This is said In no spirit of complaint, but merely as a passing - notice of the common American habit of hurried and careless reading. Of course the caption of this article "gave me aw y" In advance as to what I am about to discuss. Every farmer appreciates the im portance of securing a good stand at the outset, whether he makes the . proper effort to dc so or not. Eut very many seem to conclude that they have done their duty when the land has been properly prepared and planted with sound seed, and do not appear to appreciate the equal im portance of having a stand after once securing it. At least, it looks so to one who may walk across a field of young.cotton plants when the oper ations of plowing and hoeing (chop ping out and thianiag) are going on. I have seen a plowman, and so have you, fanner reader, many a time cover up the young plants for three feet or more, and if he notices ii at all he shows it only by a passing ef fort to kick off the earth covering. .^The "man with the hoe" is often no better and may be worse as a de stroyer of a stnsd of cotton (or very small corn). Indeed it is probable ? that the hoe man is the guiltier of the two. Now lt ought to go without saying that a full crop of cotton, or a full yield of corn, cannot be secured at harvest unless an approximately full stand of plants be first secured and then maintained throughout the sea son. If an acre of land will make a maximum yield when the plants stand one in a place every twenty-four Inches, it is certain-Absolutely cer tain-that the same acre cannot pro duce such maximum yield iii there are any missing hills or plants. Does anybody dispute that proposition?.' Of course it is palpable that the greater the number ot such skips the smaller the final crop yield will be. I want'to say-and I have observed closely and counted much for more than fifty years-that I have never seen a perfect stand of cotxon-not a missing, hill-or so much as one acre. If there Is a man who has ever seen such a phenomenon and is will ing to swear (or affirm) it let him now speak. An absolutely perfect stand of cot ton, eighteen inches part in four-foot rows, would mean 7260 plants on one acre. Has anyone ever seen such a stand. It will not do to count double where two stalks have been left in a hill in the effort to make up the count and show that the acre contains 7260 plants. Even If the two stalks adjacent to a missing place could make up for the missing plant in the final yield (which they will not), the fact wil appear that most of the two plant hills are not adjacent to a miss ing space. So far from ever having seen a perfect stand lt would not be a bad miss to say that there are few fields of cotton on which, one year with another, any better than seventy-five per cent, of a full or perfect stand will be found when the cotton com mences to open. Many and many a field will not show better than half a stand if tried by the rule of dis tance determined upon before com mencing to put it to a stand. If any one doubts what I say, let him verify it next fall about the commencement of cotton picking. In some fields he will find many stretches of rows in which the full number of plants is present, and even more than enough; but these extra stalks may not be counted in to make up for missing stalks that should be In the skips and vacant places. They only make the matter worse and the yield still less. Too many plants in thirty feet of row cannot possibly make up the loss caused by missing places in the next thirty feet. This 'ra, or excessive number of plants ' A NEWLY INVENTED An Ohio man has invented a scrub bing machine which keeps the brushes always moist and saves the time re quired, to dip them into a bucket. The .machine can be pushed aibout by a handle and the scrubber need not crawl on knees. The machine is a water-tight receptacle with perfora tions in the bottom and slides to reg-, ulate the low of water through these apertures. The brushes also have perforations on their backs ana the F?ts m GO TC HARLING Before insuring elsewher< . Old Linc Companies. At The Farmers ] :u?tural Topics. ?hat Are Helpful to ?ver and Stockman. in the first thirty feet Is directly re sponsible for a lost yield of its own, and has not a pound to spare. A fence with a weak place, or a chain with a defective link, cannot be made perfect by making some other panels, or some other links, of double strength. That is a simple illustra. tlon, but it fits into the argument. How to secure and how to preserve a good stand is a question that may be easily answered in general and in detail, but probably it is not neces sary just now. The main thing now is to exercise skill and care in han dling the plow and the hoe. The eye of the sower should follow both, and be vigilant. A careless laborer may destroy the stand of cotton to an ex tent in one day's work as that the re sulting loss in the yield of the space hoed by him in a day would pay.the wages of a careful worker for a full week. The difference between the yield3 of two adjoining fields, separately owned and cultivated, may be twen ty-five per cent., and be due entirely to the circumstance that the stand on the more productive field is that much better. The cause of ene man's fail ure as a cotton grower may be du? 1 uore to bad stands that might have "open prevented by proper care and skill and the presence of the eye of the owner, or that of his manager', than to any other one cause.-R. J. Redding, in tk? Atlanta Constitution. Nutgrass-To Destroy. J. H. A., Tennille, Ga.-I have a piece of land that is covered with nutgrass. Can you tell mo how to kill it? Answer-The secret of killing nut grass is to plow (shallow) and har row .the ground until it is put into good mellow condition, and then plant in oats or cowpeas (according to the time of year), seeding and fertilizing liberally. It would have been better to have seeded to oats in February, or last fall, and sow in peas-after har vesting the oats. But I would not wait until next fall simply in order that the wa;-against nutgrass may be inaugurated with an oat crop. Com mence at once to break the land broadcast and get into good, workable condition and sow one and one-half bushels of seed peas before the first of June, applying at same time 2C0 to 300 pound of sixteen'per cent, acid phosphate and twenty-five to forty pounds of muriate of potash. If you can get the seed in with a regular small grain drill, so much the bet ter. You can save seed and increase the yield, however, by sowing the seed continuously in three-foot rows and cultivate two or three times. Make hay of the 'cowpeas, and as soon as practicable turn under the .pea stubble-say, . about the last of August;- harrow every two or three weeks (if necessary) and sow to oats hythe "open furrow"*1 method, fer tilizing and seeding liberally. Har vest the' oats about the last of May. You may then use your own judgment as to whether it would be better to sow in peas again,-or plant in cotton or corn, or -some other crop that must be cultivated, to be followed by an other crop of oats to be sown in Oc tober or November. By following the plan thus outlined, I believe you may subdue, if not utterly destroy, the nutgrass with little or no extra labor, making paying crops all the time while the campaign of extermination is being carried on. I argue this from the fact that I have practically de stroyed the nutgrass in my one-acre garden in the city of Griffin in two years. Its destruction depends upon keeping the soil constantly cultivated in ? crop, or densely shaded by a crop (peas) all summer, thus giving the nutgrass no chance to grow and spread. I believe a sweet potato crop is the most effective nutgrass destroy er I have seen tried, on small areas, since the vines give a dense shade from early in summer until a killing frost. This opinion is based on my own experience.-R. J. Redding, in the Atlanta Constitution. A Pointer on Combs, Many cockerels of the Mediterra nean class, especially Minorcas, are discarded because their combs lop over while they are young! If a big combed bird be a little out of sorts, his comb will at once droop. After he comes into good condition agair>, the comb generally stands erect, es pecially if the base of it is thick and strong. If cockerels of this class are forced too much, especially if given a lot of soft food, their combs ap parently lose firmness. When a comb is noticed to fall, the bird should be given a cod-liver capsule at night, and fed entirely on grain. In some oases cockerels' combs are so weak at the base that nothing will make them stand, but even such birds should not be discarded, for If they arp otherwise good they will be val uable for pullet-breedinc SCOURING BROOM. water that filters out of the box mois tens their bristles. Thess brushes are removably fastened to the bottom of the box at its two ends by means of wires, which pass under them and hook on to projections on the box. The receptacle rests on these brush es as on wheels and is pushed around the floor with no more exertion than is required for sweeping with a broom. A lid, held in place by a crossbar, covers the water opening. ?USANCE ) SEE \ & BYRD 2. We^represent the Best & Brm Bank of Edgefield 00$ fl?&l&S "Castle and City Builders-Eoad I Makers." In his recent address upon "The World Movement," at the University of Berlin, Theodore Roosevelt an alyzed in the following striking phrase the activities of those early rulers upon whom devolved the task o? laying the foundation for the civil ization of Germany as well as West ern Europe: "They were castle-builders, city founders-road-makers. " To-day the first two qualifications have been modified into commercial and industrial variants. The last is absolutely unchanged. Road-making underlies the sheer existence, in an intensified degree the progress, of the entire social fabric of our day, as decisively as it did the first faint stirrings of civilization in Western Europe or the splendid struc tures reared by the Greeks and the Romans-still further back, the Egyptians. At every stage wherein humanity has recorded an advancement, wheth er in the stone-age or in the twentieth century, road-making has walked hand in hand with the trail-blazers, hand in hand with those that followed in their steps and amplified the work begun by their endeavors. Europe,has not been slow in realiz ing and materializing the principle. The highways of practically every old-world country are the delight and the envy of t-he American tourist, who watches the swift .touring car glide by the wagon in which the peasant is transporting his product to the city market. That is one radical respect in which Eurone takes precedence of the lusty and intelligent new world. The> small and large farmer of the old countries pays no ruinous tire tax, no exorbitant tribute to mud and the god of delay. 'His products, measure for measure, are worth often twice as much as those, of the American farmer, be cause He can get them to the buyer, or to the railroad, at expense beside which the similar item in America is mountainous. In another direction, also, the goad roads wisdom of Europe has given its people superiority over America. With negligible exceptions, the old world Ts thickly settled. There are few waste places. Every arable inch, figuratively speaking, is occupied. There are few wide, vacant, fertile areas clamoring vainly for the hoe and the plow and the reaper. The reason is elemental. Good reads :? a paramount issue in Europe. They take it as a matter cf course, as they do the government, or the coming of Sunday, or the necessity of buying coal and clothing and food. Trunk lines bisect kingdom and empire, republic and duchy. Good roads and their building is a fine science in Europe. It has been so since civilization un furled its pennants. War, pestilence, famine, panic have not been allowed to interfere with its steady main tenance," for the reason that the peo ple and their leaders knew that the issue was the lifeblood of any people, any country, any system. The ripened wisdom of Europe re proaches the short-sighted neglect of America, and calls to us for revolu tionary change. In America, our forefathers built staunchly the foundatious of civiliza tion. Since then we have strength ened each separate stone, but one Until recently we have ignored good reads! To-day,vin every American State, the whole population, farmer and city man, pay blackmail to mud, to ruts, to Imp?ssability-to no roads at all! We enhance the cost of living, we paralyze development, we perpetuate the waste places and stunt the na tional wealth by making highway construction dependent upen haphaz ard and casual practices, rather than upon systematic, generous and con tinual appropriations and methods. In Georgia, we have recorded an awakening. But we are yet a long way, here and throughout the Nation, from what that mature philosophy which gives stability to the civiliza tion of Europe and which rebukes our own boasted supremacy.-Atlanta Constitution. To Avoid as Well as Cure. The crusade against consumption is not undertaken chiefly to save con sumptives-that must come later, but to prevent youth, infancy, ignorance, poverty and to prevent you and yours and me and mine from catching it. The burnt child dreads the fire, but if most children did not get slightly burnt, and so learn the teachments of the law of natural consequences, then they would be burning up them selves and everything around them all the time. The day draweth nigh when no man can say, as so many-now can, "Ignorance of this disease de stroyed me, ate me, consumed me, burnt me up alive." "Certainly, phj' sicians, for all their knowledge, catch consumption and other diseases and die of them," some will say, "so what's the use?" But considering how much they are exposed, they fare far better than doctors formerly did, -Tip, in-, the New York Press. Hard on the Eyesight. Looking into the fire, particularly a coal fire, is very injurious to the eyes. The stimulus of fire and heat united soon destroys ,tbi eyes. Look ing at molten iron will soon destroy the sight. Reading in the twilight is injurious to the eyes, as they are obliged to make great exertion. Reading or Bewing with a side light injures the eyes, as both eyes should be exposed to an equal degree of light.
