(, '* Nx ' KEEP SHALLOW CULTIVATION Clemson College.?The reasons for cultivating growing crops are usually given as three, one to kill weeds; two to conserve moisture, and three to aerate the soil. Under humid conditions such as we have in South Carolina there is some disagreement as to its value in the conservation of moisture, and when a good seedbed has been prepared by proper plowing and preparation previous to planting, the value of cultivation in aerating the soil is also doubtful; but there is never any doubt about its value to the growing crop in the killing* of weeds, according to N. E. Winters, specialist in soil fertility, who advises that frequent shallow cultivation is the most economical means we have of killing m weeds in a growing crop, and if the season is dry it is possible that it may function in the conservation of moisture as well. If frequent rains occur during the growing season, cultivation may have no value in the conservation of moisture, but it will keep down the weeds. We are all interested in controlling the boll weevil, and frequent shallow cultivation of the cotton crop combined with hot sunshine is one very important factor in the control of the boll weevil. By shallow cultivation we mean two or three inches below trie surface. Deep cultivation after the crop attains some size should bo avoided. For example, all experiments show that deep cultivation of corn in v.h'c'n the fiber feeding roots are pruned, materially reduces the yields of corn. o?

The dream of an all-embracing organization to covcr the majority of a leading Southern staple crop and to include the greater number of its producers under a single binding contract is now an accomplished fact. |, Co-operative commodity marketing for tobacco in the Carolines and Virginia has come to stay. The strength and numbers of its organization are increasing daily. More than a thousand new members are now joining flie movement week by week. By moderate estimate, Virginia growers have signed with the association 80 per cent of their entire crop. North Carolina growers have a membership of C?5 per cent within the association and (?0 per cent of the tobacco of South Carolina is now mirier contract with the tri-stale organization. With over 75,000 members, re pre tenting 350,000 000 pounds of tobacco, it is estimated that 70 per cent of ho growers and the tobacco in the three state.-; are now with the Tobacco (J rowers' (vo-operative Association.

Co-operative warehouses have supplanted auction floors in many Virginia towns. In South Carolina, Timmonsville, Florence, Kingstree and Aynor have recently become 100 per cent co-operative markets and only the tobacco of the organized growers will be receiver! at those oen ters. The large majority of warehouses in North Carolina are now under the management of the organized growers, evenly distributed throughout the state. At the co-operative warehouses, members of the association can deliver their tobacco, receive cash payment in the form of a liberal advance upon delivery ,and return on the same day. Members desiring more money /it the time of their first delivery will be able to secure it by loans upon their participation receipts for the balance of their unsold tobacco held in storage by the association. As compared to the unorganized growers who travel far to reach the large markets in ' the hope of fair prices, and lose many days from travel, gultted sales and other delays, the organized grower is at a great advantage, for he is assured of the same grading, the same ' prices, the same consideration on the smallest or the largest market of the association. While the unorganized grower offers his tolvicco to the men who are p^id to grade it and buy it for the 1 benefit of the big companies, the memi her of the growers' association places his lobreco in the hands of his own ' employes who are paid by him to > grade and value it for his special benefit. Here again the organized to' bacco grower has the advantage over : the helpless individual who hopes for kindness or good luck on some dis; tant market's floor. The majority of the growers in the three states which now have the [ j world's largest co-operative marketing associ;v. ion, enjoy the advantage i of $40,000,000 in loans to assure the V-jSS ?? &:. ^ J i<.oflr%ii?iin?ii? i ML i^vvt7nw?w?'ww\iaiaMfiw'.? ^ 3 0 ' ^ rlres V fi y ?nK* known '"v III shes a revised | J] ,ie.

Compared to the unorganized orderly and profitable sale of their growers who are driven by debts and mortgages to sell as rapidly as possible, driving the price lower and lower in competition with each other, the member of the association whose tobacco will be redried, processed, and held for the highest bidder on the markets of the world is fortunate indeed. While the recognized leaders of the American leaf trade are employed by the organized tobacco farmers in the marketing of their crop, the minority of growers outside of the association will be obliged to dump their tobacco on the remaining auction floors, pit ting tneir judgment in a losing struggle against the cleverest dealers whom the companies can hire to buy tobacco from them at the lowest dollar. Behind co-operative growers is the record of success by other farmers who have organized to sell their crops. In the sand hills of North Carolina, on the eastern shore of Virginia, in the blue grass country of Kentucky, in California and in Denmark co-operative marketing has brought prosperity. Behind the helpless individuals who continue to offer their product on the' auction floors, there is a record of! failure ,dcbt. and poverty. What is there that the unorganized) grower can do that the organized grower cannot do, except to submit uo the outworn system of auction sales which has been tried for thirty years and found wanting?

Maple Literary Society, space in your paper to say that at the church ott Sunday, July 9, the Maple Literary Society, one of the best organizations that was ever established in the Maple community, was referred to by one of the Sunday school leaders as a "piffling: school" and was abused io Che? end by this nvin who believes that Iiet has the public sentiment of the community, but in my opinion he wqjs talking to a people that are not interested in any such clash. When those words, "gigfflinfS school" were spoken, the many members of the society that were present* began wondering why it was that h<<v did not think that three-fourths o the young folks that were at Sunday school were members of the society and that they were not fond of hear ing him talk of the society in that manner . j The society was organized for tFu"S purpose of training the boys and girfcs to become great speakers, to enlighCect them social and religious working.-". The society begins every session with a prayer, which is proof that \w? are not leading away from the roud of morality, but are trying to becoimr more progressive boys and girls, move .and women. Perhaps if this gentleman (?) had had the opportunity of belonging to a society of this kind ?*rj his early childhood, today be coulcf have interested the Sunday school ora a more important subject than that of abusing a literary society. We ask this man please not to si;y anything more ,abou' the society ut.less he can think of some more suit able words than a ' giggling" school.** ?
