Ccrnmuloation* Intended for thia dopartmeut should be acdrec?edlo J. C. Stribllug, Pendleton, S. O. Pay up Your Warehouse Stock. We are informed that there is still a few subscribers to the wnrehoneo Btock that have not paid in their five per cent, ot stock. Now, it is time that every dollar Of this ?ret paymer tv as in the hands of the committee aa the charter cannot. be obtained until all have poid in the 5 per cent, of stock. Our directors of the warehouse com pany have secured a very desirable lo cation for* the building, and there is now absolutely nothings in the way of putting up the building when the money is lu band. . Farmers, we bave been doing a good deal of talking about this warehouse business, and it ie now high time that something be doing. Great good has already been accomplished by our or ganisation, and there is stilt more to be done along the line of concert of action. The warehouse business is one of tho moat important matters now before the Farmers' Union. Rutabaga Turnips. Give mo a market for all tho Ruta baga turnips we can raise at prosent prices and we will not bare to raise more cotton even at 80 cents per pound. The. following is a oorreot statement of ocr crop just stored away: hot number l produced 866 bushels of 55 pounds per. acre; lot number 2 produced 481 bushels. The whole orop averaged 069} bushels, or a little more than 18 tons per acre. Bating the crop at $30 per ton-re tail prices-this crop is worth on the market $860 per acre. The actual cost of preparation, cul tivation and fertilisers are, via: 600 pounds high grade aoid phosphate, BOO pounds cotton meal, 600 pounds wood cebes, 100 ^pounds kaint, and 6 loads stable manure. Total cost of fertilizers, $18.75; preparing land, seed and cultivation, $15.25; total ooBt, $84 per aero ors set profit of $826 per acre at present retail prices. Taking in consideration the value of green/ succulent appetising food for stock during winter months and the true comparative food value, these rutabagas is worth 15 cents per bush el? which leaves a net profit of $66.42 per aere. ' * The land is high upland, a little rolling to South, and has been ic culti vation 16 years. Soil dark brown with chocolate clay oubaoil. This land has produced a little over 800 ftoonda lint cotton per. sore. This and was ploughed from li inches to 14 inches deep last March, and was cultivated with disk harrows every 15 to SO daye until June, when all the fer tiliser waa applied broadcast* and har rowing continuad until latter part of August, when seed was drilled in 18 inch rows. On account of heavy washing, rains our first two plantings jailed. .Cultivation was hand hoeing twice and ploughing, twice with very light one-horse spring teeth harrow. Why do wo not quit.everything else and plant nothing but TUtaoagas, and get to be a millionaire farmer? Well here ia bur way oat of this. Then? is not enough, consumers to take all that we could crow at present pricesv and we haven't got . enough stock to consume only . a limited amount of. rutabagas. Rutabagas, without other food-cotton meal or Boed-ia not a complete food for any etock. Wo mu?t have como hey, cotton eeed or cotton meal to go with these ' roots to'make the moat cf tho crop woes ; fed w cattle. We usually feed to cattle about 4 to d pounds of these roots to one pound of cotton meal or 3 poonda ground cotton seed. For boreea we mix a I51tie corn meal or brand with cut redts. For! hogs tho root? should bo cooked .and mixed willi oona or rice meal. Poultry will pick out all tho meat and leave noth ing but t??e vine of green turnip&, and this food is tho green food for poultry In winter. It makes tho egge, coma *ben ary grain will not 'V,-. About tho middle of November we commence to cat off tops and feed just coneu me, going *>ack and hon sin? tho roots every 5 or6 days ac feat as the tops ?an be consumed until middle of December, when on account of mk bf K?Vjr^^ w*eseewotheh proceed to house the whole crop;leaving what tops that cannot be fed on tho land.

P. Allgood's farm, joined tho SI ab town Fanners'Co-oporativo Union last year, being a man of his word, when the Union took tho finn staud to hold cotton for 10 cents, Mr. Banks stood by his word and in less than (?0 days cleared more than 8300, on 28 bales, while somo of tho land owners forfeited their pledge, and when cot ton was 8 cents, they sold out and when it reaobed 10 cents in a few days, they felt Uko going out behind tho barn and hiring a jack ass to kick them, and it still hurts them to see what a fool they made of themselves by not being men cf their word. Now the way to get our own prioe for cotton, is to build warehouses aufli cient to store one-third of our cottoL, then we will get a good price for the other two-thirds, and almost any price for tho remaining one-third. The interest on Banks1 8300 he made by sticking to his word, will pay his dues in the Union for all times, and a handsome dividend, besides more friends. J. Oliver Pickene, Easley, S. C. R. F.
