163 BALES OF COTTON ON 150 ACRES POOR LANTD. Mr. Hudson Gives His Experience of Using the "Williamson Corn Method" for Cotton Planting. It has been the ambition of -everv farmer in the south to make at least one bale of cotton to the acre. Very few of them have ever tried to make 4.1'e an one bale to the acre. It can be done. And from recent ex periments it looks as though the time for distant wh.-. the ncw "Williamson Plan" will be used by every farmer in the south. In writing of his experiments, Mr. B. M1. Hudson! of Camden says: --As the 'Williamson corn method' has been such a blessing to South Carolina and as I have been accused of withholdin what information I have had on the subject for 'selfish m. I want to sax to the far mers of South Carolina that the Wil liamson Method is just as necessary for cotton as for corn. 'On the average lands of Sofith Carolina it is impossible to make a full cr.. of cotton if you have an early spring crop, and this I say af ter years of experience. I have no ticed this year my own crop and sev eral others and find that the best cot ton today was the poorest the first of July. and the best codon we had in this country in June is the poorest now compared to what it should be. "While this may be doubted by some. I can prove my assertions by; some of the leading men of the coun-I ty. The method is simple and, un like. the Williamson method of corn, will apply to a large amount to fer tilizer, a small amount or none at all. "Plant the first week in April, plant and cultivate flat; your crop twill grow slowly in the spring, but will grow in July and Augusta, when your neighbor has failed. Yours will fruit close and make at least a third more than cotton planted on a bed and worked to get a quick growth in June. -- The best crop in this section today was considered a failure the first of: July. This is the method by which I made 163 bales of cotton on 150: acres and will do as well' or better this year. "I write not for notoriety, but that I may be of some benefit to my fellow Sfarmers. "If J was not con&.reed beyond a reasonable doubt I would never give~ my experience to the publi.' At 12 cents a pound 163 bales aver aging 450 pounds would be .$8,802.00 for the ginned cotton. Think whast a .big thing that would mean for the! south! If this "improved method'' of planting cotton is successfully tried and promoted by the majority of farmers in South Carolina next year there will be such an increase in1 yield, and consequently in money val uie, that it is almost beyond figures. And the fleecy cotton is not all to be considered. Think, of the increas ed yield of cotton seed. With the growing demand for cotton seed it will not be many years now before many cotton planters will be trying to increase the yield of their cotton! seed. Along this line a prominentI cotton .seed expert, who was address ing a crowd at the Jamestown Expo sition recently,.said: "Last summer I had the pleasure of introducing my friend, Professoi Dolbear, who is, perhaps, our greatest living scientist, to one of my friends, a cottonseed oil official, who .is pre destined to become our leading man of oil. In a semi-serious way Profes sor Dolbear referred to seedless fruits and suggested the creation of seedless cotton. 'Professor,' the oil man ejaculated, 'you had better make a cottonlessseed, for that's where the' money is.'"' So many new experiments have been made with the use of Cotton Seed Meal, Oil cake, ets., that it is al most impossible to keep up with them all. Following is of interest to those who raise fine hogs: Dallas. Texas. Oect. 27.-A bulletin *of the Texas Agricultural Experiment -Station, says: To those wishing to use cottonseed meal for hogs now, we recommend: 1. For animals on heavy feed, that not more than one-four the weight of the grain ration of cotton-seed meal. 2. That this feeding continue not more than fifty days. or that the pro porion of meal be reduced if feeding is to be continued longer. 3. That the meal be mixed with the other1 feed and all souredi together. 4. That as :mmh ~reen f. od as posSI ble e funised the hogs. 5. That a close watch be kept. and meal be taken from any animals not eating or' gaining well. Feeders who have had experience with the meal will probably be able to exeed these recommndations. \V ] %k. l 'V V I 1'. x zilo tll( It-( , : en!uh me-al lo g"reatly im1rov!2 co0rn diet. Oie pound of cot toi-seed meal to tive of corn frunishes the nutrients in the most desirable proportions for fattening, while one or two of corn are more nearly correct for young growin: stock. O* coirse other feeds are 3esr.ible for th ir influences not attributable to their tomposition, but it is not often that the adopted stan dards can be ignored in feeding any animal for profit. MATRIMONIAL MISSTEPS. Divorce, in Some Cases, Ought to be Encouraged on Grounds of Mo rality. La Musted Harper. in the I)elineator. Divorce. so often termed a nation aeril. would be1more al!propritel call.1anatinal ymo o ilO e "'weti nI b e an~ alarmist to see i its in1 creasing frequency a sin that some thin is wronz with that institution of matrimony itself, with the people who marry or with social conditions. Every divorce has a twofold effect, public and private-the effect on so ciety at large and on home and family. the laiter the more destruc tive of the two since on these stabil itv of government depends.

And vet those who advocate no di. vorce at all. or even but for one cause. may be as far wrong as those who would impose no restriction.

The one, for in-1 staiie, where either parent is in a state of frequent drunkenness, or where brawling and fighting are con stant-is it of any advantage to chil dren to continue in a home of that kind? Or one where the husband is shiftless and improvident, placing up on the wife t.he burden of support would it not be much better for her self and the children if she would get rid of him legally instead of adding others ic their number to be also cold, hungry and miserable?
