The land upon wbioh these experi ments were made is varied in richness with clay subsoil and was planted the previous year in wheat, followed by a fine irop of peas sown broadoast and vines mown off for hay. This field was turned in the fall previous to planting at a depth ranging from nine to twelve inches.

The average yield per acre on stunted plots is 77 bushels and 45 pounds. Thns you see a gain of even 6 bushels in favor of the regular method of oaltivation for the average, while plot without any fertilizer and poorest land gave a gain in favor of tho Wil liamson method of one bushel and 5 pounds per aore. In all oases whero aoid phosphate alone was used it was put in drills before pim ting. The standard ferti lizer was UH ul as a side application at the rate of 100 ponnds to the aore, put in. every other middle with a common one-horse fortilizer drill run in close to eaoh row. The first side application was uiade on June 7th, [ION BUREAU _ MATION. j j )d by the Jonal and Co-operative Union. -? Department should be addressed to Pendleton, S.

Continued rains from latter pnrt of June on pre vented giving the last plowing and thu side application of the nitrate of Bods, but this fact does not detraot from the Williamson method of cul tivation which he bas stated that there was more in his method of "stunting" than there was in the side application of the fertilizers. Wo give the foregoing not as con clusive fact either one way or the other, as our next years' comparative test on a different field and different seasons may show entirely different results. Wo aro indebted to both Mr. Wil liamson and Mr. Aldrich for their new method of growing corn. We look for valuable, lessons from both theso progressive farmers in corn growing. We, of the Southern States, are very much ahead on cot ton growing and miserably behind on corn growing. % Fairers' Cotton Union Organized. Their motto is, "From farm to mill. One shipment ; net cost." The die for a square deal in the cotton trade for one million producers of cotton has been oast. The "Farm ers' Cotton Union"-the child of the cotton fields of the South-has been born and launched out in the "cold and indifferent world," wrapped in its cotton swadling and is now sitting in the oradle of equity with out stretched hands, appealing to all its large family-the ootton produoers of the Sooth-for succor, that it may grow up strong, wise and great, so that it may some day merit the posi tion on the throne of King Cotton. This Farmers' Cotton Union has been formed by cotton growers for tho benefit of all ootton produoers that may patronize it and as its man agement will no doubt be placed I under the protection and control of the Farmers' Union, it will be en tirely with the ootton growers whether or not the institution will dwindle away and die, or grow and prosper, whioh will also bring pros perity to the whole South. $100 REWARD $100.

Now York, December 20.-With a picked crow of United States blue jackets, Commander Robert E. Peary, it was announced to-day, will make another attempt to reach the north pole. Mutinous and incompetent aids, who w?-re recruited mainly from Newfoundland, hampered Peary greatly on his last trip, when ho suc ceeded in getting furthest north-87 degrees 6 minutes.

The new plans of the explorer contemplates Mending out sled parties over the ice for the 450 miles that will intervene between the pole and Cape Sheridan, which will be the base of the expedition. SEED TIME *&e experienced farmer has learned, that some grains require far differ ent soil than others ; some crops need differ ent handling than others. He knows that a great deal depends upon right planting at the right time, and that the soil must be kept enriched. No use of complaining in summer about a mis take made in the spring.
