The first of March has arrived and cotton has not got in sight of 15 cents. ., The few farmers that have been holding for that price are weakening and many of them are willing to sell at 12% cent?. This depression, or rather the want of an advance in price has set the farmers to thinking. It is ev, ident that there is a shortage of cot' ton in the world, if all the mills were to run on full time. But the mill men say the output is in' excess of the demand and that curtailment is necessary. So the tendency has been downward. What about the crop of this year? There is very little small grain sown in the cotton states. The abundant corn crop made last year will be used before September. The land has to remain uncultivated or planted in cotton. With the present depressing influences a crop of 12,000,000 bales this year would mean eight cents. The Cotton Association and Farmers' Union may preach reduction of acreage as much as they please, but the farmers will not reduce. There are many of them who will do their best to make a large cotton crop. There are others with more sense who will plant for a large corn crop and make sorgum enough to feed cattle, hogs aud mules three or four months. They will make an effort to raise fowls, hogs, potatoes and everything they can eat or sell. Peas are scarce and high, but one bushel will plant three or four acres in 30-inch rows and in that way a few bushels will cover much ground. If they are laid by level they can be mowed easily. Another consideration is the advanced price of fertilizer. It is now based on 12-cent cotton. If a big crop is made and the price goes to 8 cents it will require 10 to 15 per cent of the cotton to pay for th,e fertilizer bills.? Carolina Spartan. 30 Days' Trial ?1.00 is the offer on Pineules.

Bureau of Plant Industry?Farmers' Cooperative Cotton Demonstration Work?Helps to Corn and Cotton Planters, The past winter has been so wet that there has been less than usual opportunity to prepare the land for this year's crop. The rains have continued so late that many fields are stilljvery wet. These conditions make it all the more necessary that the soil be well prepared before planting. In the impatience to commence planting the temptation to plow before the land is dry enough is very great. Against this we issue a word of warning. There are few more injurious farm practices. Land plowed wet at this time is injured for the whole season. Such land is more than likely to be cloddy, and a clod in the field is of little use to plants. Cloddy land is hard to work and seldom gives a good stand. It furnishes a minimum of food to the plants and is exceedingly subject to drouth. While it is desirable, .especially in the bool-weevil sections, to plant cotton as early as possible, yet there is nothing gained by placing the seed in v the ground before the latter is warm enough to cause it to germinate and grow; or before the soil is thoroughly prepared. This7 was strongly illustrated last year in boll-weevil sections. Where the land was properly prepared before planting, even though this preparation caused a delay in putting the seed into the ground, the yield was much better than where attention was not given to this detail. A thorough preparation is more than half the cultivation. Do not plant either cotton 01 corn before the land is worked into a fine seed bed even if planting is a little late. \ Last spring a great amount of trouble was experienced in securing stands, especially of cotton. This was primarily due to a late, wet spring; but there were other contributing factors, including poor prepation of land, improper depth of planting and poor seed. The farmers seem fairly well aroused to the importance of good seed. To be good the seed must not only be from a good variety but must have been carefully selected and so cared for that they have strong vitality.. Be sure the seeds planted, have not been damaged from any cause. Prepare the land thoroughly and sufficiently in advance of planting so that there is a firm seed bed. Then avoid one of the most common causes of loss of 9tand?that of planting too deep. With well prepared land good cotton seed, if properly planted, will germinate even in a dry spring when . covered to no greater depth , than onefourth inch. Many of the cotton planting machines on the market are faulty in that it is almost impossible to gauge the depth at which the seeds are placed in the ground. This defect is only increased if the 9eed bed is loose. Further, while the seed may not actually be covered to a great depth, many leave them in a trench with hills of loose dirt on each side. The first good rain washes this dirt into the trench and buries the seed too deep. This should be avoided. A light roller should always follow the planting so as to press the ground close to the seed. It is best even where it is not necessary to plant upon beds, to place the seed upon a slight ridge, especially in planting early. This insures drainage and warmth and consequently a good stand. There are more stands lost in planting cotton by using toi> much than too little seed. When a bushel of seed is U9ed it is very often a detriment, because the i seeds are so close that when they germinate they lift the soil in the whole top of the row. If dry or a little cool weather follows the soil immediately around the young plant dries out or is chilled by the cool nights, aha the plants die. If this does not occur the farmer is oblged to thin the cotton when very young, while the plants are delicate and are easily injured. Perfect stands of cotton have been obtained with four | pounds of seed and if the seed has been properly selected and preserved it should never require more than a nai< oni?o nrTkvirlp^ f-.ViP la rirl i<j in WV1 VJ 7 ** **? good condition and the seed is properly planted. Prepare the land thoroughly before planting. Use selected seed of known parentage and good quality. Plant shallow?not over inch in depth on a firm bed. Follow planting with a roller and use care that the seed drill is not in a trench. Be sure the seed bed is well drained. With these precautions there should be no difficulty in securing a 9tand of I either cotton or corn this year. These directions are for normal conditions and are applicable with all ordinay seasons and soils. Owing to the differences in soil far* tility and varieties of cotton, it is im* possible to give any general rule for distances between the rows and for spacing of the plants in the row* However, as some guide we give the following: n t * ? ? un gooa uplands ordinarily producing one-half to three-fourths of a bale of cotton per acre, plant in rows four feet apart and give not less than sixteen inches space between plants in the row. On rich bottom lands where excessive stalks are produced, plant in rows not less than five feet apart and give two feet space between plants in the row. Increaee or decrease these distances (rows and spaces) according to the strength of the soil and the usual size of the cotton plants. On post oak flats and alluvial lands like the Mississippi bottoms, give full distance between the rows so as to make a broad ridge for the plants and provide for surface drainage. Approved: D. N.
