Mr. Lewis W. Parker advises the
I ?tton mill men to make common
< i irh the farmers to maintain
the price of cotton at its legitimate
level. This Is good advice and If the
mills had adopted this policy years
ago, instead of aiding and abetting
the cotton exchange gamblers of New
York ami Liverpool, the South?cot
Itfl farmers, cotton mills and all oth?
er lines of business?would today be
better off. The coalition of cotton
mills and cotton speculators to manip?
ulate the price of cotton has been
ruinous to thos* who depended upon
actual cotton f>r a llvng. and was un?
natural as damaging. The man who
grows cotton and they who spin and
weaves It into cloth are engaged in
an honest and legitimate buslnes and
are dependent upon a marketable com
modltv for a livelihood, but the cot?
ton exchange speculators are gamb?
lers pure and simple and every dollar
that they gf: Is an unrighteous tribute
levied upon the toll of honest pro
du<M rs. If Lie mills and the farmers,
or som.? business-like organization of
farmers, tea get together then specu?
lators ana be cut out entirely; the
mi Is -ntract at a fixed price for
all th f I f i. need from year to
year and >nl\ the surplus cotton. If
inv, will be thrown upon the open
market. Tho size of the surplus will
determine the price the mills will be
willing to pay for the next year's crop.
?n<l it will behoove the farmers to
keep the surplus within bounds.
These would be Ideal conditions and
doubtless impossible of entire realiza?
tion, but they can be approximated
If farmers and mill men will but work
together with an honest purpose to do
what Is mutually beneficially on a
|lv? and let live policy.

Some Random Thoughts.
All of our space today is taken up
with the importnace of legumes?
.\ hat Prof. Massey says on the sub
it. t is well worth reading. Notice
bow he advises sticking to one or
two legumes, rather than trying
everything that some enthusiast rec?
ommends.. This reminds me of what
the late Col. Newman said some years
AgO at an institute in the Court
II >use: That with cow peas, oats
nnl sorghum, the South could beat
the world on forage.
In regard to the Farmers Institute's
proposal by Prof. liurrows: The
Farmers' Union will do its share to
have one. but previous experiences at
Sumter and Mayesvllle with the small
number of farmers that attended
makes one shy of trying to have an
Institute at either place. Does some
Country neighborhood want the In?
stitute this summer? The President
of the Union will engage with Prof.
Purrow for an institute but the time
and place will require more thought.

'Die South' Cire?t Variety of legumes.1
There are many species of legume
plants, and many have been tried as
renovating crpps. Some of them
have been dropped out, either be?
cause the forage made from them is
BOt good or not relished by stock, or
because they have been found un
suited to various sections.
The two legumes that have become
of the greatest value in most parts
of the South are the cowpea and crim?
son or annual clover, the one for
summer and the other for winter soil
rover and spring fertilizer. These
two plants make a team that will do
more for the general area of the
South than anything that can be
grown, the one for hay and the other
for plowing under in the spring, after
the waste of the soil all winter.
In the far South the velvet bean
ti l a great value and may super?
sede the cowpea as a forage-maker.
In Florida the beggar weed has been
found valuable, but its value de?
creases rapidly as we come northward
until in the larger part of the South
It is simply a weed. The velvet bean,
while of great value where it matures,
soon reaches a point northward where
the cowpea will laways beat it. In
favorable seasons it will mature in
the far southeastern sections of North
Carolina, and even in the central part
of the State it will make an Immense
amount of forage. Planted In rows
tight feet apart at Kalelgh, they made
a mass over the whole ground half
waist deep. I heilt ve that in all the
warmer parts of the South the velvet
bean can he made very profitable for
green soiling to cattle
Much has been said In regard to the
VOtchoft, and especially In regard to
what is known as the Hairy vetch or
Sand vetch. Where tome grain like
wheat is sown with the Hairy vetch,
to sustain it off the ground, it will
make i . nc hay crop from fall sow?
ing, and ean be gotten off the ground
In time to grow a crop of cowpea hay,
And to leave the land in crimson
clover in the fail.
i once sowed wheat And vetch In
the fall, cut the crop in May and
cured it for hay, sowed the land In
cowpeas and cut thcs?> for hay and
had a fair stand of alfalfa on the
! iml l?efore cold weather. This, of
course, with liberal use of seid phos?
phate and potash, Jn the lower Mise?
Isslppl valley the stations have found
that the soli is plentifully supplied
with potash, but even there it will not
do to Ignore the needs of the legume,*
for phosphoric ncld, which, with nl
trogen, In the greatest deficiency Inall
of our old cultivated soils, and Is apt
to be the determining factor In any
fertiliser mixture,
I n the Ihm- bind-- of Mi K- ippi the
melllotus or sweet clover has been
found to be a raluablu legume for the
Im prove nie nt of the soil, It grows
m ? *eed all o\, r the United states,
but so far as my experience goes, cat*
11? Will have to he half starved be
fore tin y will eat it, and I think it has
little value as a forage plant.
But the legume that has excited
more attention than any other in re?
cent yean li alfalfa, or lucerne, as it
was formerly called. In the arid sec?
tion of the West alfalfa has become
the greatest ol* forage crops, and here
and there in the East, as about Syra?
cuse In New York and at HUlsboro,
X. (\, all alia has been grown success?
fully for more than a generation. The
alfalfa region of Mississippi and Ala?
bama seems destined to be one of the
richest agricultural sections In
America before many years.
Alfalfa, when well established, will
certainly make an immense amount
of valuable forage. But it Is not a
crop bring up poor land, as the
cowpea is, for alfalfa demands a
fertile soil, a well drained soil, and
one In which the subsoil will allow
the roots to penetrate deeply. With
a lot near the barn where the farmer '
can get the land into high condition
he can do well with alfalfa, but for
the rapid improvement of worn soils
and crops to take into a short ro?
tation the cowpea and crimson clover
have a far higher value In the South
than alfalfa ever will have. The
Western plains can beat us with al?
falfa, but we can beat them out of
sight with cowpeas and crimson clo?
ver. With a rotation of corn, with
peas among it, followed by winter
oats, and these by peas and crimson
clover, and back to corn with all the
farm manure, I can produce more for?
age and feed more cattle on the aver?
age Southern farm than any one can
with alfalfa till the land Is in high
condition. Of course, in the Cotton
Bolt I would lengthen the rotation by
bringing in cotton on the crimson
clover grown after peas and oats, and
would get the land in crimson clover
after the cotton, and put all the farm
manure on this for the corn crop.
Grow alfalfa, but put It on a little
piece of your richest land and you
may get good crops, by for building
up the land and feeding stock, put
your main dependence on cowpeas in
summer and crimson clover in win?
ter. ,
I do not mean to discourage the
growing of alfalfa, but to show that
In order to do well with It, the land
must be in hight condition. Then In
the South never sow alfalfa In the
spring, for the crabgrass will surely
destroy it. Sow In September and
gi\e It a chance to get ahead of the
crabgrass the next summer. If you are
In an alfalfa section, by all means
make the most of It, but If your soil i
lacks lime, or Is thin and shallow,
begin with peas and clover.
There has been a great deal of talk
about various things to mix with cow?
peas for hay. Some mix corn In the
pea field, BO me sow sorghum and mil?
let, lint none of these help in the
curing of the hay; certainly sorghum
does not. and millet ripens before the
peas are ready to cut and makes the
hay dangerous for horses. In fact,
In all my experience T have found
that a pure crop of peas is about as
easy hay to cure as anything if you
will simp y let it cure and do not
monkey with all sorts of contrivances
to spoil it. At the proper season I
will have more to say about this. The
best thing to mix with peas is the soy
bean. Tbis is uprlghi In habit, and
helps to hold up the peas and make
them easier to harvest, and to some
extent, easier, perhaps, to eure.
Among all tiie forage legumes for
the South l would pin my faith to
cowpeas and crimson dovei as the
best summer nnd wlnt< r team to be
had, A whole ton of 2?8?_ fertili?
zer has I pounds of nitrogen. A
fair crop of cowpeas will have over
100 pounds an acre.
Mo t of the legumes refuse to grow
on an ncld soil, but the cowpea will
grow anywhere when the weather i.->

[?'arming will never make any
(m untry rich us long as the farmers
of that country have to buy nitrogen
to feed their staple crops. Nor will
farming ever make any country rich
while the farmers of that country
permit their soils to wash away or to
? wear out" for lack of a sufficient
supply of humus.
Southern farmers are grievous of?
fenders against good agricultural
practice in both these respects. Every
year they spend millions of dollars
for nitrogen in oommerical forms
when they coul 1 have gathered
enough for practically all of their
crops from the air. On millions of
acres of cultivated land the crops are
limited each year by Insufficient water
supply during "dry spells" and by the
general lack of organic matter in the
eoll. Until both these conditions are
changed, the Southern farmer is not
going to get as much as he should
for a day's work; is not going to
have as much as he should at the
end of the year; is not going to con?
tribute to the welfare of his commu?
nity and his State as he might and
should.
At once the surest and the most
economical way to correct these evils
is by the growing of leguminous crops
?not the haphazard planting of a
pea patch here or an alfalfa plot
there but by the systematic planting
of both summer and winter-growing
legumes In a rotation adopted to in?
dividual conditions and surrounn
ings.
The legumes will get nitrogen from
the air, and save millions of dollars
now spent for commerical fertilizers;
they will add humus to the soils, im?
proving its texture, increasing its
water-holding capacity, making more
available the plant food it contains,
preventing gulleying. and making it
easier to work; they will supply the
best and cheapest feeds in the world,
thus enabling the farmer to keep
more stock 2nd to feed them better;
they will increase the yields of all the
staple crops and enable the farmers
to make a profit on thousands of
acres of land now idle and unprofit?
able; they will, in short, if intelligent?
ly used, put the farmers of the South
on the highway to prosperity and in
dipendence.
To try to farm without them is. un?
der all ordinary conditions, wanton
folly; and the results of such farming
are to be seen today in worn-out
fields, gullied hillsides, poor crops,
poor stock and unattractive homes.
This issue is largely taken up with
the experiences of men who have
learned to make money growing le?
gumes, and what they have done every
year other farmers can, if he will,
There may be farmers who can
make money without growing these
crops; but such men are rare, and
there are very few men in the South
engaged in general farming who
could not increase their profits by
planting them more liberally.
Let every reader resolve right now
to raise an abundant supply of legume
forage for all hfs live stock?enough
cowpeas and soy beans and peanuts
for his pigs and calves to graze on all
summer and fall, and enough to
make hay for all his stock next win?
ter. He will want besides thi3 to
grow, If possible, this year enough
seed for his own planting next season.
Let him also arrange to seed all lands
cultivated this season to a cover crop
next fall.
When he does this he will not only
make bigger crops, but he will be
able to feed his work stock and to
make pork and beef and milk at the
lowest cost. In short, he will be on
the open road to prosperity and in?
dependence.?Progressive Farmer.
The One Crop to Plow Under.
1 have frequently been asked if you
would not put more nitrogen and hu?
mus in the soil to plow the legume
crops under entire rather than save
them for hay. Of course, we will
get more humus-making material at
once by turning under a crop of peas
or vetch, but we are confronted by
the fact that these crops have a high
value, and that they can be fed to
stock, and by far the larger part
of their manurial value can be recov?
ered in the manure if it is carefully
saved.
Hence, as a rule, it is poor farm
economy to plow under these plants
before using them as feed. To this,
there is no exception. This is the
crimson clover crop, This comes at
a season when it is especially hard
io cure it well for hay, and I have
long since come to the conclusion
that the best use for crimson clover
is for making corn and cotton, we
can let the clover come to full ma?
turity and die and then plow It un
ih r and have time in all parts of the
South to make a crop of com, and in
the far South, to make a cotton crop.
I have s< en a great deal of crimson
clover made into hay, but have never
seen a first-class lot of hay made
from d. as it i-: either bleached by the
f?un, or, ji propertly cured in cocks.
i
Is apt to mold more than nny other
buy. Then, too, if the cutting Is de?
layed till the heads elongate and git
brown below, the hay is rather dan
egous for horses. Hence, l believe
i that 1 would always make an excel-,
tlon of crimson clover and use it at
manure direct.?Progressive Farmer

Places of Interest in That Great
City, and of His Kind Treatment by
Its People.
Editor The item:
1 closed my last letter amidst the
roar of the great city of Chicago and
now will finish the account of my
trip, hearing the gentle murmur of
the breeze in the pine tops of Sum?
ter. Before leaving home my friends,
the D. J. Chandler clothing Co., kind?
ly gave me a letter of introduction to
Messrs. Hart, Schafner & Marx, per?
haps the largest clothing manufactur?
ers in the world, and from whom
they buy some of their best grades
oi' clothing. I presented the letter to
Mr. T. P. Bain, who met me at the
entrance of the building and introdu?
ced me to Mr. M. W. Crcsof in the
office, and he Introduced me to Mr.
Hart, one of the firm. I received a
i pleasant and warm welcome and shall
always remember with pleasure their
kindly manner and courtesy. They
sent a young man with me, Mr. C. P.
Bennett) to inspect the large building.
We first looked over the ground floor,
used as an office and here were 400
employes, most of them girls, all
busy with books, typewriters, letters
and all that enters into the financial
part of a great business. We then
took the elevator to the eleventh floor
and ascended the stairs to the 12th,
here the goods are received In large
rolls, beautiful patterns and the best
quality, all wool. They go through
the shrinking process and then
thro gh the drying room, after which
each piece is carefully inspected for
flaws In the weave. They are then
measured, folded and sent down to
the cutters. Every floor is the same
size and covers about 1-4 of the large
scpuare of the city. In the cutting
room we saw electric c Hing ma?
chines that cut 14 thickness of wool
goods, with as much ease as a pair of
sharp scissors would a piece of news?
paper. The different pieces of gar?
ments were asembled In bundles with
all the necessary trimmings and plac?
ed in large boxes on rollers and ready
to.be carried to the different build?
ings in the city where the goods are
made up. This entire building being
simply to prepare the cloth for mak?
ing up and storing the finished gar?
ments, and the office. I also visited
one of the factories where the cloth?
ing is sewed together and made into
the beautiful finished garments, sew?
ing machines humming like bees, and
everything being done with thorough?
ness and dispatch. I was In the cloth?
ing business for ten years and never
saw goods better handled and made
and greater care taken to give a per?
fect garment. The finished garments
of all sizes were piled in rows about
five feet high, and covered perhaps
six floors of the large building. They
also have large stores in New York
and Boston and smaller ones In a
good many other cities. Sixteen hun?
dred are employed In the main build?
ing in Chicago.
I was also kindly favored with a
letter of introduction from the Sum?
ter Telephone Mfg. Co. to the general
sheet iron trade rolling mills of the
west. This letter I took to Messrs.
Montgomery, Ward & Co. and asked
to see the manager o: the sheet metal
department and on giving my name
and handing him the letter, he gave
me a warm reception and handed me
a card with the name of Mr. R. S.
Coombs, Sales Agent, of the Berge
Mfg. Co., of Canton, Ohio, whose of?
fice was at 33 Dearborn St., Chicago,
After taking a hasty glance at the
immense store of Montgomery, Ward
& Co., where one of the largest mall
order businesses of the world Is done
in almost every article of use or orna?
ment, and who can take your order
for a present to any misisonary in the
world and deliver it to them with
safety and dispatch. Here 3,000 are
employed and It was a wonderful
sight to see them coming from the
building when the day's work was
done. Looked like circus day in
Sumter, when the show lets out. I
went next morning to see Mr. Coombs
and on handing him the card and
letter from the Telephone Company,
and stating my business, I was treat?
ed like an old friend. After a pleas?
ant interview, he dictated two letters
to the stenographer, one to Mr. Geo.
J. Smith, Bupt., of Berger Mfg. Co.
and one to Mr. A. T. Enlow, sales
manger, of the Stark Rolling Mill Co.
both of Canton, Ohio, and handed
j them to me to be delivered in per
j son. Now to show the value of a good
name, such as the Sumter Telephone
I Mfg. Co. evidently has, in the far
j away city and how pleasantly they do
j busin? ss, I quote a few lines from one
oi the letters: "Mr. Winn is sent to

I After a very pleasant visit to South
Chicago, amidst beautiful parks, wide
streets and shady sidewalks. I visited
the building occupied by the editorial
staff of the Technical World, a month?
ly which I have taken for two years,
and lind more information in it as to
what is going on in the great world 4
than any periodical 1 have ever seen.
I had a cordial greeting from Mr.
William T. Walsh, and Mr. H. G.
Hunting, two of the Editorial Staff,
and after discussing 1 [alley's comet,
the labor problem, the Sout*-' rn cot?
ton fields and South Carolina peaches^
and the other good things in South^
Carolina, including cotton seed flour
? read, we had to say good bye, and
with a hearty hand shake, including
< ne from the little lady at the switch
hoard, who directed me how to find
the office, I hastened to get my train
for Canton, Ohio, which I reached
! after an all night's run on the fast
i train to Akron, Ohio, and then 30 \
miles by electric cars, and arrived
1 i ist in time for a good breakfast at
I the McKinley Hotel. I then dettv
. (-red the two letters as above stated,
! and could ask for no better treatment
I from any one. Both of these gentle- ,
j men met mo with cordiality and y
1 frankness and we soon transacted the
business in hand to our mutual satis?
faction and I trust profit. I had a
little time left and visited the tomb
of the great William McKinley, the
Martyr President of the United States,^
and true friend of the South. His
tomb is on a high hill overlooking
the city on one side and the beautiful
farm lands on the other. A soldier at
the door invited us in and I stood
with uncover^P* head to view where
his sacred dust sleeps besides that of .
his lovely wife and children and felt "
that ^ as well as every one in South
Carolina and the whole South had
lost a friend. I will always remem?
ber with pleasure my visit to his
home city. In a few hours I was on
board of the fast train from Akron
on to Washington over the Baltimore ^
and Ohio road, and after a pleasant
all night ride, reached our nation's
capital for early breakfast. After a
pleasant day spent in this fine city, at
10 p. m. I laid me down to rest in one
of the elegant sleepers on the At-gt
lantic Coast Line bound for Sumter.^
My rest was so sweet and unbroken
that T did not wake when the day
coach left the track at Petersburg,
and had to be left behind. The train
was just slowing down or we may
have had a serious wreck, but no one
was hurt. And here we are again in^
the garden spot of our great country.
Far away from the great cities and
mighty industry of iron and coal, but
amidst the never-ending gold mines of
the cotton fields and cotton mills of
the Sunny South.

Resting Land.
Have you a field that you intend te
?rest" this year by letting the old
stalks of corn or cotton stand and
grass and weeds grow all summerf^J
Do you think the land is resting when
it is growing this sort of stuff to
seed the land and give you grass in
the crop another year? Is the 'and
not just as hard at work growing
weeds and grass as it would be in .
growing crops for feed and soil im-*#
provement? Would it not be better
for the land and the stock and your
pocket to have peas on that resting
field? But you say, "peas are too
high-priced." They are not as high
priced as the crop of weeds and grass
that will grow there if you leave the L
land out. for it will cost more money ?
to kill the grass next summer than
to sow the peas this summer. Then
you lose a crop of forage and the
benefit the peas would be to your
land. Besides, this talk about the
high price of peas comes w'th a bad
grace from farmers who shou.'d sell. ^
You cannot afford not to sow peas,
and to give them the phosphate acid
and potash they need, if you have
any regard for the future of your
farm. The best way in the world to
rest land is to keep it at work grow?
ing crops that will feed stock, make
manure, make the soil better and
make the owner richer.?Progressive
