Strlbling, Pticdleton, 8. p. How Do You Like lt ? Well, how do you like tho idea of our Farmers1 Union column*? If our farmers column is not ns good as you think it should be, suppose you chip in and make it bettor. A good, practical farmer is euro to know something which, if told, will benefit bia neighbor. Usually tho man that knows things haa no trouble in telling what he knows, and then bo stops talking. Men that really know little, or noth ing, talk long, trying to tell something they don't know. Farmers1 Institutes aro good schools for both old and young farmers, but they don't come your way but onco a year, while our Fermera' Union col umna visit you each week-that is, i? you eubBcribo for your home paper, If all your neighbors-foi- the want of better knowledge of business-sell their cotton crop fur what it coBt to make it, or less, then you aro compel lcd to take tho same price for yours. You eee that, in order to get profltablo prices at the beginning, you must go out and .bring in your neighbors with you. Where is the profit or sense of mak ing three bales of cotton grow where two grew before if that little 2x4 cot ton speculator comes in for that extra third baleT Better come aCross, boys, and join the Farmers' Union and learn to grow the right sizo crop and then sell it rignt. The Farmers' Uniun is standing up against this bot battle against cotton speculators and winning some advan tages iu every skirmish. If you ?hii: k you nave a better plan to organize farmers and keep then: or ganized than the Union, why let's have it, and we will join right into it with you, for we can never maintain profi table prices to the producer without organization and loyal co-operation. - If you can grow all the nitrogen needed in your soil free of coat by planting cowpeas, why in thunder don't you do UT Af ter the nitrogen is placed in tho ground, then the pea vine bay stack is a mighty good forti fication for the mules ro stand behind when rough times and March winds come along. Mortgage mules are said to like town hay b?st, but good Far mers' Union tutu don't believe it. - If you think that y,ou are a little too good, too smart, too rich or tho in significant to join in with your neigh bors in the Farmers' Union, do go and join, the Cotton Association' or S?UIB other organization that is doing good tor your Southern country. Many of us Farmers'union men be long to the Cotton Association, and wo enjoy sitting in council with these brig tit business men of the South. Wo learn something every time we meet with them; and it does the farmer good to hear these big, rich men tell the far mer that, every interest of the whole South is dependent upon tho prosperity of the farmer.' . Af ter rubbing unnga^nat theseshrewd bnainefta mes in a Cotton Association we feel mighty proud and rich for a long time afterwards; but when wo are in deep trouble ab OIK- t be every, day ?.af fairs of the farrain?. interest, and are Becking out a"fraternal freud that ia in it with you in everything, and that e ho ul d bc loyal to his own? we just naturally want to 8et Tight - along by the 8ide of-the old farmer and whisper the nasa word into his ear. - The Cotton yA 880 ci at i o i= ia no more a ?armera organization thanet ia a busi ness man's, organization.

Dear Sir':' Replying; to your letter of tho 20th inst, i wilt eay that 1 am un-: able to give yon the information de sired as to "a Comparative test" of my system with' that in vogue-or, . per haps, i should say; with that which wai in vogue-since so many, all over th? South, are now using my ay ste hr.? ., : ', .A teat to be ot value should be ac curate, and situated aa I am, with matty irons in the Uro, I cannot devoto tb* ueceasary time and close personal attention to sach a test.

Bat I havo always seen enough io absolutely con - vince me that tho /jombination would far exceed the ningle method,' With ! my knowledge of the yielding capaoity of my land I am safe in saying that I make as much corn on tho aero ss if there wera tic cotton in the alternate two rows, or es it peas were thara jo Stead ot cotton, aqd by reason of che cotton bearingaomuch later,than where all tho land ia in cotton. I am equally safe in saying that I make more than w^?alf crop or cotton, or morro than mit aa mach aa the eadie land wouid .1waE^:-'??I*^?ll^i9-' cotton. Of cornie doling a protracted drought WfSrytbing seeme co snfi'er. Corn wilta anrt cotton sheds, bat I, have' nover been ablo to de^ct that my crop suffers more than wy neighbor who have tbejr two crops separated.. Wbiie it ia a iactthat alf have observed the paat winter that my ?ottoa l>ore losgcr thaj. any in thia section and I mad? i*or* top <irop. \:L . ,?>^oihe.r fact was apparent-that I ^^^^t?da^ide?frl^m^b^^ th ii, cut ?S ibo same waa ibo case wifa WS*** WlUistoa- planted by my. syateni, there. woold neem to to bo t- om ot hin jr more than a coin cidence in tho phenomena. At ono time last summer, in August, my cotton suffered ao much from drought that I began to fear that it waa being prejudiced unduly hy the proximity of the corn, although the corn bindee were thc? too ripe to pull for fodder if 1 had been going to ?trip thom, yet when tho rain cunio moro fruit formed and matured, nnd when the crop was all picked tho yield showed that the laud hud produced all that I had any reason to expect from it. 1 shall plant some sections with a view ot making the test this Benson and hope to bo nblo to completo it at harvesting. Very truly yours, Alfred Aldrich. Mr. J. C. Stripling, Pendleton, S. C. Dear Sir: Complying with your re quest concerning tho results obtained by the South Carolina Experiment. Station, in our 1005 test of tho Aldrich system, I will givo the following: Two rowe each cotton and corn, yield 040.4 pounds seed cotton per acre; 1380 pounds of ear corn por aero. Equal nrea aa abovo all in cotton, 10U9 2 of seed cotton per acre; all corn, 2520 pounds of uar coru. Yea will see that tho half corn and half cotton failed by about 000 pounds per acre of seed cotton to make half aa much aa the all cotton acre. The Aldrich acre corn yield was a little bit moro than one half tho aero yield from tho all corn plot. But tho di flor ence ia GO alight as to scarcely be worthy o? consideration. The variety of corn used in thia test was tho Marl borough Prolific and the variety of cotton waa Toolo'a. The fertilizer contained 7.1 per cent of phosphoric acid; 0.4 per cent, of potash; and 3 3 per cent, of nitrogen, 400 pounds be ing applied to tho ucro. The cotton and corn were P'????:^ at tho same time. I am cou titi.nt tunt this should not be thu ci^e. since the corn will usually in our elim ?ito produce better when planted eui ly, and if the corn planting ia delayed until the cotton ia planted the corn will go ic tho ground from three to five weeka Inter than would piobably bo better for securing the beat yield of corn. A small t>tnlk, early corn should bo grown, that it may come oiVin timo to givo nil the Boil area to tho cotton when the cot ton needs moisture and plant food more than atnuy other time. I wish to impress upon you that this is a one year's test and is by no means conclusivo. Tho resulta could ensily havo been reversed oy using differers varieties of either cotton or corn or hy having a different growing season for the production of these crops. It is the intention of tho station to continue these tests in duplicate for a number of years and in slight varia tion from the plan herein reported. Accompanying this test was another in which four rows of cotton and four rows of corn were used. Bnt this plan gave inferior yields to the two row system. Where these teBts were ruado in 1003, in 1000 we will pursue i hu same plan alternating cotton with corn in one case; in another, cotton will follow cotton; and in still another, corn will follow com* .We hope to also in the all cora plots sod in one of the duplicates of the Aldrich system plot to have cowpens take the place of corn when tho corn matures, by planting tho cowpeas in the corn rows ut the time of laying up the corn. ? Very truly yours, C. I?. Newman. Experiment With Aldrich System on Parn: ci J. C. Striming. . ' _____ A " Out of eight comparative tests the Aldrich system of planring two rowa Of corn and two rowe of cotton alter nating on thia pinn with solid crops of each eotton and corni we made lesa crops of each-by actual measurementa and weight-tinder the Aldrich system than where solid crops of each cotton and corn were planted, excepting in one teat where we used 400 pounds crushed cotton seed per acre! The gain in this Instance waa Hi bushels of corn and 1030 pounds of stalks per aery in favor of the Aldrich system. In consideration of the fact that a large number of practical farmers have endorsed the Aldrich system, although they have done sb without nu ' ting the test by actual weights and tneisnreinents, wo are of the opinion t lia ; there must b? some ad van tage in the system Where early field varieties of corn ia used along with late ma turing varieties of cotton. Thus by planting the corn as early aa possible we may. remove the corn off the land in time tu k'iM* the eotton more sun-, light and thu UM . f ..tl the laud which may be very ben? hVinl to a late ma turing variety of cotton that baa been left rather thin on the land. In the foregoing teat cotton and corn were planted the same day. . ? - NA press dispatch from Augusta, Ga., nuder date of the 9th inst., says : "M. L.
