itrSrv jE ^ ^ - r> ALLIANCE DEPARTMENT. J. F. NIStiFT, Editor. The county Alliance met last Friday,but we were weighing cot ton and could not attend the meeting and do not know what was done; but we are glad the Alii ance met for it shows that our people are interested in the <*ood of the order and their own wellfare and the interests of the farmer generally. The January treet ing will soon he here and our people should be prepared to order fertilizers?we should cast about and find out what we need. Some of our lands need one kind oi fertilizer ant! other lauds need another kind. All the companies * in South Carolina are in the com bination and we will have to do the best we can lor ourselves. If, we can arrange to buy in bulk! and make our estimate as soon as possible we can got better prices. I Let us make a determined effort j to build up the Alliance. Wei are glad to learn that some of the sub Alliances are getting in new members and that old members are being reinstated. Let the good work go on. PREPARING FOR THE NEXT YEAR'S COTTON. Correspondence Cotton Plant In our travels over the State this summer, attending our summer series of Farmers' Institutes, we have been verv mnelt itn pressed with the immense in crease in the cultivation of the cow pea. Fewer fields are to be seen "resting" in the old way by growing up with weeds for future brow-8weating9, but instead the farmers are fast learning that the best rest for the land is to keep it in a crop tfiat will shade and protect the soil and gather fer tility for succeeding crops far fas ter than the natural iimwth. Wide areas are now in peas that bore a crop of small grain, and the "Clo ver of the South" is covering fields t.hflf. HAVPr Kftfarn (rrnur \f t* \r I ? "V vv,.v/tx> hiUn Mm 1J of these are intended for the cot ton crop of next year, and as a matter of course the owners are thinking how best to use the pea crop. If they have taken our ad vice, so often given in the press. J the peas have had a good dose of phosphoric acid and potash ii^ some form, and where this is the case the course is plain and the cotton crop can lie grown at the smallest cost it the owner simply adds the seed from this year's crop to the land. One of the most thoughtful farmers in South Carolina wrote us that he had found that in his case, being far1 removed from oil mills where lie could exchange ihe <<*???I lor meal and li 1111<. he found that t Ik* I whole seed alter being crushed to1 destroy germinal ion, gave liim ex cellent results when applied as he uses them. lie found that J when a mass of seed or other very bulky manure was applied direct ly in the furrow under the cotton, there was difficulty in getting a good stand of J he rot Ion lie' found also that while the seed were a valuable fertilizer, they1 were slow in becoming available to the plant as lood. He there , il.n ..i < -; ?

It may he ?| 11 ink I y cured by fine M in- | lite Cough Cure, the only remedy that produces immediate results in roughs, colds, croup, bronchits, pneumonia and throat and lung troubles. It will prevent consumption. Crawford Bros. d - w -s burying the seed. By the time the cotton hud developed to the point of making the bloom and fruit it had found the seed, which by that time had decayed to an 1 extent sufficient to enable them to yield up their plant food, and he got better crops in this way. What we most want to get at ( however is the best and most economical way to apply the pur chased fertilizers to the cotton, i We have said that where the pea ' crop of this has heen well supplied with phosphoic acid and potash there is better chance for 1 next year's cotton. Experience has shown that an application of the potasstc fertilizers especially, some months before the planting, will show from t; 1 better results than from applica tion at the plantii time. And ! not only this but their application to the pea crop will give a henv ier crop of forage. There is noth ing that the cotton farmer needs morA t ll!> tl n!(>nl v nf fr^r-uro ;iiwt v" M ,,x* | plenty of cattle to feed it to. The , use of the entire growth of peas as a manure direct will undoubtedly show a greater effect on the succeeding crop than the cutting i ofT of the growth. Hut the cutting and curing of the crop as hay, and the feeding of this hay to cattle, with the careful saving of the manure will do more for the farm and farmer than the burying of a crop worth $20 per acre as food, three fourths of which value can be recovered in the manure made from the feeding. Another fact in connection with the using of the whole growth for the cotton crop is that it tnav give an excess of nitrogen anil a rank and long limbed growth, and a late crop. The true way to use thf pea crop preceding a cotton crop is to cut and cure the vines as hay, feed them to stock and return to the land the manure thus made But what shall the man do who did not put any phosphate or pot ash on his peas? If he takes them oir, he will certainly have taken ofT more of the phosphoric acid and potash of which his land was probably already deficient, and unless he applies fertilizers to his cotton he cannot hope for __ : , l I an increased crop oy reason 01 rue pea growth. He may to some ex ' tent get benefit from the peas so' far as the increase of nitrogen in the soil is concerned, but while the cotton may make a ranker "weed" it will fail in the fruiting. The peas w ill relieve him from | the purchase of the most costly ; part of a complete fertilizer, and he will not be compelled to buy ! nitrogen at all, especially if he uses his cotton seed as suggested. I Hut what shall lie use and when shall he apply the fertilizer? We have already remarked that it' has been found that the mineral |( plant food in the shape of phos-M nhoic acid and nntasli eice results when applied some time previous to tho planting of the;' crop, and we know too that a liberal broadcast application of these ' ] is better, not only for the im- , proveinent of the land generally.' but for the r.rop of cotton. The experience of our South Carolina friend points to this. Few far i mers realize the short time in which fertilizers applied directly' in the furrow under the plants I are available to the plant. The ( j | "I had dyspepsia fifty-seven years ! and never found permanent relief till ' I used Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. Now I I ' am well and feet like a new man," S. .1. Fleming, Murray, Neb. If is the I best digestant known. Curt sail forms 1 of indigestion. Physicians everywhere prescribe it. Crawford Bros. d-'c-s ? part of the roots of aoy plant which are engaged in collecting food are near (he extreme tip of the small rootlets, and when these get beyond the area in which the food was applied and begin to forage in poorer soil, a deterioration in the growth and fruiting must result. Hence we have be come fully satisfied that even for the cotton crop a broadcast ap plication is best in the final re suits on the crop. We would like some of our friends who have a pea stubble to go into cotton next j * ? t... iL. 1 _ : -.1 vrm in ny me ?liu pie e A per 1 me 111 of applying this fall broadcast on part of the atubble all the phosphate and potash they intend for the crop. Yon need to buy only acid phosphate and kainit in pqtial proportions-, for the peas, aided by the cotton seed from this year's crop, will give you an abundant supply of nitrogen. On the rest of the field apply the fertilizers at the time of planting in the furrow. I have little fear but that you will find that the acid phosphate and potash applied this fall will give you better results in the crop nextyear than the spring application in the furrow. And not only this, but it will enable you to get a better stand of crim huh ciuvor sown among me cotton at laying by time next summer. If you get a stand of crim son clover in the cotton field, you will have done more for your land than in any other way, for the winter cover in worth of itself an application of fertilizer, in the prevention of the wasting of the fertility in winter, while the clover will get more nitrogen for you to turn into corn next year with the aid of your home made ma nure. Let us put a little forethought into the economical production of a cotton crop, and get down to real furming with cot ton. W. F. Massey. Raleigh, jV. C. ?0 A WKEH TO START.
