Coker of Hartsville at, the session of the National Associ ation of Cotton Manufacturers at Boston, Mass. The title was ''The Now Agriciture in the South and its Relation to the Cotton Spiluing Industry.'') The agriculture of the cotton States is j(hst entering upon a new era. The majority of our farmers are still following in the Ol riuts, planting the bulk of of their lai in cotton year after year, depending largely upon fertilizer to keep lip production atnl exhausting the life-giving hiutus of the soil by the con tinue(d use of a cleai culture crop. In many places, however, evi(lences of improvel methods are seen. The work (lone by the 'United States (lepartnent of agricult hure through the plant. breeding, farm demon - strat ion and other bureaus dur ing the past. decade is beginning to hear fruit.

NO CROP REDUCTION. The new agriculture of the South contemplates a severe re duction of the cotton acreage, but not a reduction of the crop. A restoration of the depleted humus is necessary, not only for the enrichment of our soils, but is equally necessary in rendering the crops comparative ly immune to the effects of a deficient or an excessive rainfall. This restorative process requires the frequent seeding of the land to crops which leave a large quantity of vegetable matter to be plowed under. One of the most practicable crops for this purpose is corn, our Southern practice being to plant peas in the middles and turn under the peavines and corn stalks after the ears are gathered. A few years ago E. McIver Williai son of my own county discov ered a cultural method for more than doubling the yield, of corn and since then most of the farmers in eastern South Caro lina have been able to atandon their former practice of import ine from the West the bulk of their supply of this grain. A notable impetus to the pro(luc tion of this crop has also result ed from the world's record yield; of 255 bushels on one acre made by Capt. Drake of Marl boro county and of 228 bushels on one acre made by Jerry Moore, the illustri'us boy farm er of Florence county. Both of these phenomenal yields were made in eastern South Carolina in which the author resides 'T'hough it (loes not hear on our subject. I may be excIsedt for mentioninug that in this same section within a radlius of 100 miles have been made many other wonderful agricultural records, such as four hales of cotton per acre; 182 bunshels of oats per acre and 820 bushels of lbiish potiat oes on one acre. Oats, followed b~y Peas the same year, is also a humus making crop, and1 the Floridla velvet bean and the soy bean are very valuale for hay andl gr'azing, besides being wvonder ful soil imupro)vers. iThle most (effec iv mCIuet hod of so'l implroveentl, ho wever, is found ini the .em ploynment of cover crops which are sown be twveen the rows of the cultivated crops in the early fall. These c'over crops take up the unused residnue of the fertilizer applied to 1.he prcedling crop and~ also use whatever plant food be c'omies available during the win ter. They keep the land from wvashing and sulpply, when plowed under in the spring, val uiable fertilizer material and humus to tihe succeeding crop. The clovers and vetches are most generally employed as cover crops, b~ut the most valu able Diant for this purpose which I have tested is a newv variety of r'yo ecen ly iminported b~y the gove.niment I from the province of A bruzzi in Italy wich makes a larger growvth dairing the win. ter than any other cover crop I am familiar with.

The constant Itching, burning redness, rash and disalgreeable effects of eczenma, tetter, salt rheumi, 1tch,.plles, and irritating skin eruptions can be readily cured and the skin made clear and smooth with Dr. Hlobson 's eczema ointment.
