By means of the foot lever, the cutter bar can be raised .* to a. vertical pooition, while tho machine ia Crown out of * . .gear i ntomatically. The driver can mn the Mower close v.p to a rode, a tump or tree, and, without stopping the . ii team, raise the bu: to pass tht obstruction, throwing the ; mtchine ont of gear, and then lower the bar, throwing the Mower in gear automatically without the loss of any time. < ? The cutter bar ia rc-enforced with a taper rib which in? ?".? ?urea great strength at the inside shoe and allows the knife to run with the least possible friction.

Conducted by S. 0. Farmers' Union. ?Sf Address all communications in tended for late column to J. C. Stribling, Pendleton, S.O. ' The Williamson Corn Stunting Plan. The Williamson stunting process of co?-<? and cotton? too, seems to be the most faehionablo plan of the day. Ail ow.* the country we see the stunting process on the crops. Corn and cot ton, too, are looking yellow for tho lack of work and sunshine; too much rain ?adthe scarcity cf labor has forced tnU stunting process upon the farmers. It ia not in the plans of the farmers to thus stunt their crops! It is the force of circumstances-the weather and labor; thia condition is unavoidable. But whynot now apply nitrate of soda er high grade ammoniated fertilizer* to the side of these crops and test the value of late application of the more volatile fertilizara? There is no doubt in our minds hut what all the ammonia or available ni trogen in commercial fertilizers have been washed out by the recent heavy rains, and is now gone out of reach ot the common crops, and if we expect the best resulte from these very solnble nitrogenous fertilizers we should ap ply them to crops in tho latter stage of tts growth, when the soil ie filled with tho leedora-little rootlets-then ready to consumo volatile plant or soluble food. We would not have onr readers to misunderstand our position or opinion on this ot un ti nc plan. Mr. William son, we think, has done a good thing for the farming interest of the whole South by calling our attention to his stunting plan ia the cultivation of corn. He has pat the progressive'farmer to thinking along this line of retarding thegrowtbof stalk, the less val nable part of our crops, and increasing the grain or fruiting. We ts im ero have a great deal to learn along this line. Web av? known years agu that the" best fall cabbage were grown by re tarding Ute growth in the earlier stage; that is, transplant the planta in July or August and not work them ont un til tirnt of Sop tomber, when a good ap riiiKnyor. ?g fertile applied along with lat? 'enlSJvation insures afine crop of fall cabbage. We have also been deceived by the como-out of some very grassy cotton that was not worked out until very late when propitious seasons and good cultivation have pro duced astonishing good crops, even at this late stage of the growth of the crops. . For many years? we have stopped what trrfTMnk waste of money by ap plying ?onittte? commercial ferti lizers \i t >u al I grain sown in fail? or toothe . spring crops when Planting. We are satisfied that usually about all the soluble properties Of nitrates are gone before the roots of crons ar? sn S ?I ?? ay large or numerooB to take np or appropriate this valuable plant fOOd. . . . Therefore, ^e believe moro in late or side* application nf ferulissrs. tb?? wo do in the retarding or stunting of tho stalk growth. Bat, we do not say that we ?re enre cf this without; have demonstrated mthis fu. '?y actual comparative teat by mer.s.red area and weighed cropa. We have thia sido application of fertilizers to both stunted and unstuot ed crops of both coti on and corn-in practical test, this year which, we trust, will give ns more light on this subjeot by actual comparativo teat made in a practical way on the farm. Organize a Farmers' Union Warehouse Company. Our cheap plan for Farmers* Union warehouse ace m a to have stirred on no little opposition by that class of men that have always made their jaok by supplying the farmer with that busi ness management of the farmer's own affairs that counts for loss or gain. Something has been going the rounds about the price of cemon t at $1.85 be ing too low, which would render our plans out of reason? &o. Well, now jost pat up the price of cement to 8*3,00 per barrel, if yon please, which pots the bought supplies xor a one section warehouse at the ex tremely low cost of $400. Now, it must be a very trifling, good-for-nothing farmers' organization that could not put np $500 cash to start up ouch au enterprise as this, that means so much in a protective woy to the cotton producers! Farmers, do not let this old gang rattle you; go ahead with your ware house organizations. Let those that can. pnt up the cash for the bought stuff, and those that cannot put up the cash work out their shares which should be made not over $5.00 each. - At~Comfort| Texas, ??~the pres ence of a large number of guests as sembled for the wedding of Joseph Reinhardt, the groom shot and killed Ernestine Kubert the bride, sud then fired a bullet into his own breast.

Harvie Jordan, president of the> Southern Cotton Association, an louncedd Thursday, on his return rom New York, that he would head a itw company, to be known ns tho tatton Stalks Products company, vith a capital to be eventually $15, 00,000, for the purpose of munofactur us various products from thovr-W' ' otton stnlks. Among the product? '. rv >o manulactured are paper, d?naturai ilcohol, acetone, BtnokoleRs powo\ti, solluloid, pyroxilian and fertilizers; The other officers of the company vre Samuel F. B. Morse, vied presi dent, New York; Arthur F. Kales? secretary and treasurer. New York, ind the following directors: John B. \Uison, Concord; W. P. G, Kardinu Birmingham; William H. Has?lhg?r, Birmigbnni; Harvie Jordan, Atlanta: \rthurF. Kales, New York; Samuel P. B. Morse, New York. William C. Seddon, New York; William F. Andi 7cr, Montgomery, and John D. Walk Sparta. Mr. Jordan will probably resign from the cotton association at the next annual election in January. Mr. Jordan went into this venture as i result of experiments conducted in Pennsylvania, when it waa shown that paper of a very ?ne quality, in addi tion to other pro dacia, could be made out of the stalks. More than $278, 900,000 is now invested in the 750 pa per making plants of the country, the value of whoso products ie $200,000.000. Tho manufacturo of paper from cotton stalks would increase, the value of the South's cotton crop about $100, 000,000, and in the revolution of tho handling of the cotton crop would save about $80,000,000 annually in freight chorees. It would also elimi nate the boll weevil peat, as all stalks, ordinarily lett to rot in the fields, would be removed. The residue of the stalks can be unod for fertilizer also. The amount of cotton stalks in the cotton belt ie estimated at 80,000,000 tons, and pro- ' duct that has heretofore beena waste one may now be sold by the farmer v at from $1.60 to $3 a ton. . m President Jordau said yesterday that it waa the purpose of the company to begin with a small plant, and event ually incrcaso its capacity BO that th? entire capital of $15,000,000 could be used.--Atlanta Journal. - Reporta from all seotions of '.
