' McCormick Mowers are perfectly designed and splen
didly constructed of specially selected material ; hence
they are sot only light draft, tm also exceedingly durable
machines. They are in general uso throughout tho wo?ld,
f for they meet the requirements of sericultor lits wherever
gnu? is grown.
IVIcCormick Vertical Liff Mower.
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. Tho long, cteol

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.

To Make Paper From Colton Stalks.
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.
