MILLS WILL SHUT DOWN ONE WEEK I IN OCTOBER i iiat Much of Curtailment Determined on n( Meeting of Association in Greenville Wednesday. Greenville, Sept. 26. Thai con a Id. cnible over three millions of Bplndles throughout South Carolina will cease their output for at least one week in October was Indicated at a meeting of the executive committee of tho Cot ton Manufacturers' association of South Carolina, held in the oilier ol Captain 15. a. Smyth, president of the association, There are 3,700,00 spindles re pre seated in the membership of the us SOClatlotl and of these over 2,00,0UII were represented at the meeting todaj Those present stated their Inten tion of shutting down their mills foi at least one week in October on ac count of the fact that prices for their products are now below the cost of production. A letter has been sent out to the other members of the asoclatlon in forming them of the action of the exe cutive committee and it appears most likely that nearly all the spindles in the association will curtail their pro duction during one week in October. The Disk Harrow's Special Place. The disk harrow will pulverise land which li would take much more work lo pulverize with the smoothing bar row; especially cloddy land or thai with large numbers of grass root tufts or sods. Il is also of great value when run over laud before plowing, in cas es where the laud is so hard that il will break up in large clods when plowed without disking. Tho disking of such land one way and then at right angles to the direction of tin' Hrst disking, will reduce, very great ly. the size of the clods, which other wise result from plowing land when dry and hard. The chief use of the disk harrow is in pulverizing the land alter plowing preparatory to seeding, and rigid here is probably the weakest poinl in our present cultural system. The running of a disk harrow, and (hat to In' followed by a smoothing harrow, after the land is broken and before planting, will do more to economize the labor of after cultivation and to Increase the yield of the crops than anything else we can suggest. The reversible disk harrow will also save much time and money in the making of the beds to which our planters are so thoroughly wedded.

C.l Progressive Farmer ami Gazette Does it Pay to riurker Corn' On rich land. during favorable moisture conditions, if the corn is planted too thin, there is a decided tendency in some varieties to pro duce these suckers or branches from the lower joints of the main stalk, There is some difference of opinion as to whether It pays to remove these suckers or allow them ?<> grow, If weather conditions could be foretold and it could he known that later in the season the stalks already on the ground would not have more than barely sufllclent moisture and plant food, it would possibly pay to remove these suckers. On the other hand, if the corn is not thick enough to utilize all the moisture and plant food available ami these conditions remain throughout the growing en son of the crop, then it will not pay to remove the sinkers, for while the yield of ears from them will be small their presence will probably not les sen the yield of Die main stall s and the stover will be worth something If saved for forage. In view of these uncertainties, the cons usus of opinion among experi menters and close observers is that it docs not pay to spend time ami labor removing these suckers, taking one year with another. It must lie admitted, however, that probably the majority of farmers believe it best to remove them. Raleigh fN. 0.) Progressive Farmer and Gazette. Why Not Got Hid of Catarrh?
