DEMAND FOR COTTON
Reports from Londan indicate that
the demand for cotton is greater than
the supplv. It is admitted that the
cotton industry of the great manufacturing
centers of England is dependent
upon the supply of American
iMlttort :mil tlvif oiinnlw li n c Vww.n
fretting shorter recently. British
trade circles are said to be seriously
concerned as to the cotton situation.
If the shortage continues it is claimed
that the factories would have to resort
to short time working and
would, unless more cotton were shipped,
have to close up indefinitely. It
is stated that in the cotton mill districts
of England there are six hundred
thousand people dependent upon
the cotton industry. In this connection
it is well to notice that Attorney
General Palmer has ordered
an examination of the charges that
there is an alleged combination in
this country to depress the price of
cotton. The Attorney General (who,
by the way, is a candidate for the
nomination- for President on the
Democratic ticket), has issued a
statement to the effect that as soon
as the facts are ascertained the government
will take appropriate action.
The reduction in the price of cotton
by cotton dealers is in violation of
the Sherman Anti-Trust Act.
The action of the government in
this matter and the scarcity of cotton
in the industrial districts of Great
Britain ought to cause cotton to j
bring good prices, although unfortunately
most of it is not in possession
of the cotton farmers at this
time.
Conditions indicate that the next
crop may be a profitable one, if
planters are careful not to put too
many acres in cotton and to put in
plenty of corn, wheat, potatoes, etc.
SPIRIT PRANKS
The "spirits" and the ouija board
play some strange tricks. The press
dispatches give two instances in one
of which a woman found her husband,
the other, "spirits" advised a
man not to marry a lady he had
promised to marry and she got judgment
against him for $211,000 for
breach of promise. In the case of
the missing hu. band the ouija board
told the woman he was in jail at a
certain place. She went there and
found him.
IN GOVERNOR CATT'S STATE
Down in Tampa, Fla., the other
day, they took a novel and drastic
measure to hit old 11. C. I.. In order
to show that they did not have to
pay high prices for clothing a crowd
of about five hundred assembled in
the court house square, arrayed in
overalls, calico and old clothes and
after listening to speeches in which
II. ('. I., was lambasted, they marched
to the < ity Hall and presented a
petition asking for a commission that
would limit the profit of manufacturers,
wholesalers and re-trailers of
clothing. They pledged themselves
to abstain from buying until their
demands were complied with.
That is very well in Florida; they
don't need much clothing anyhow.

Blunton, ??f Texas, said there were
porters in Washington drawing salaries
of $1,000 and college graduates
teaching school in the city whose
salary was $Xl0.00.
POLITICS AND MOSQUITOES
There are three entries in the
Democratic Primaries of Georgia for
the presidential nomination, Hon.
Mitchell Painter, lion. Hoke Smith
and Hon. Tom Watson,
In addition to this policial activity
Georgia has started a campaign to
exterminate the mosquito. With
Smith and Watson pawing up the
ground and the mos<piitoes buzzing
for dear life there will be lively times
in Georgia this year.
Comprrt Sounds Warning
Gompers sounded a note of warnIn^,
at a recent luncheon of editors
of New York trade and technical
journals, to employers disposed to
hinder the development of the American
Federation of Labor. He described
the organization of which he
is president as a "bulwark of Americanism,"
and said that employers
must choose between the present policies
of orgainzed labor and the control
of trade unions taken over by
those "who are without respect for
labor, for employers, for the public,
or even for the Government of the
United States."

AIDING CULTIVATOR
A PROVED SUCCESS
It is no longer necessary to adaiicc
arguments in favor of the rid
ng cultivator. Everything consider <l.
tlu* riding- cultivator is not only
in itself a most efficient implement,
hut it increases the efficiency of both
teams and men. Riding cultivators
ire made in various types to meet
difDrent requirements. Almost ev ry
manufacturer of tillage machinery
produces a complete line of culivators
for use upon hillside or level
land; for checked, drilled or listed
rops; for deep, shallow or surface
cultivation, and so on. Riding cultivators
can be had in types to meet
ilmost every possible condition.
The pivot axle cultivator is especially
useful in the cultivation of
crops on terraced land. The wheels
ire steered by means of foot levers
attached to the inner end of the
spindle, so that the wheels may be
turned to right or left, thus steering
the entire cultivator. Where the
rows are circled or curved to prevent
washing, this type of cultivator
( an be used to great advantage. The
wheels can be so controlled that any
tendency to drift down hill will be
overcome.
The pivot frame cultivator is al
wi-u iiuHpii'u iu circle rows and
to hillside as well as to level cultivation.?The

Cotton Planting Under A
Boll Weevil Conditions
Time and Methods of Planting
and Cultivation To Beat
The Boll Weevil.
Clemson Collage, April 12.?A great /
many farmers are asking about the *
time of planting ootton under boll
weevil conditions. The answer to
this question, says Prof. C. P. Black- ?
well of the agronomy division. Is that g
the time of planting which gave best I
reaulta In the previous years will
give best results undsr boll weevil
conditions. The best time for plant- {
Ing variea aocordlng to the season.
Cotton Is a warm weather plant. It
will not make a healthy growth until
the soil la reasonably warm and danger
of frost is past. So it Is generally
best not to plant until the aoil la *
warm. Then It la well to plant In a ^
well propared seed bed seed which P
has been deltnted with sulphuric
arid Thla nhonld rive nromnt and ^
uniform germination and should al- b
low the cotton to got started before |
the weed* oome. Cotton which Is ,
planted too early while the soil Is yet i
oold will not make a quick growth,
and the weeda will have an opportunity
to begin growth at the same time
the cotton does, thus making the
crop more difficult to eultlvate and
frequently resulting in a poorer
etand.
Methods of Planting
la order for cotton to make a good
etart the seed should not be planted
In direct contact with heavy applications
of commercial fertilizer. Where
heavy applications of commercial fertilizer
are made, some kind of shovel
plow should be run through the furrow
ahead of the cotton planter to
ml* the fertiliser thoroughly with the
toll before planting. If the cotton Is
planted In direct contact with the
fertilizer, there may be no Injury if
heavy rains follow the planting and
prevent the concentration of the soil
solution. But if dry weather follows
the planting, the soil solution becomes
very concentrated and the
young roots of the plant are killed.
This may result In a poor stand .of
ootton by killing off piany of the
young plaata, or It may result In a
stunted crop by delaying the early
growth of the plants. This has not
been such an important matter In the
past, as there has usually been a
long growing season and the cotton
baa had plenty of time to mature.
Under boll weWvll conditions, however,
It la a matter of prime importance.
as earliness Is very essential
to suocoss In beat lag the boll weevil,
i Careful atention to this point may
prevent serious loss.
Anothsr factor in planting under
boll weevil conditions which deserves
careful consideration at this
Mnte is ths spacing of plants at time
sf planting. By planting dslintfd
seed It la possible to drop the seed at
almost any interval desired, and by
planting several seed In eaoh hill a
feed etand may be asoured.
This makes it profitable to cultivate
cotton with a sptkwtooth har,
new or a row harrow at an early
' date and to keep the weeds down and
thereby save much labor and expense
tn chopping.
Bpeetng
Farmers have frequently been advised
to apace their cotton far apaft
In order that the sunlight may get la
between the plants and kill tha *#
ATtlfl In tha aquaraa which fall to tha
ground early la the season. This
method la reasonably successful In
tha wester* part of the Cotton Belt,
where there are many long periods of
dry hot weather during tha early summar
man tha. But It Is not sueeaseful
ta South Carolina because
there are no long periods of dry hot
weather. There have been many enp*rim
eats ta determine the hast sparing
of cetdon plants, hut there are so
many factors entering Into the consi
deration that It Is Impossible to
set a definite spacing which would
be best for all farms.
Each farmer needs to study his
own conditions and use the spacing
which gives heat results on his land.
The fertility of the soil, the amount
of rainfall, the kind of cotton planted,
and the amount of fertiliser used are
all factors which should be consldere!
la spacing cotton. As a general
rule, experiments havs shewn larger
yields from the relatively close spacing.
At the Pee Dee Experiment
Station best results have been gotten
by planting In f-foot rows with plants
not more than ten to twelve Inches
apart In the row. This on a com para
tlvely fertile soil, yielding abotit one
and oandialf bales per acre as an
average.
Cultivation
The primary object of cultivation
Is to destroy weeds and grass. The
cultivation of cotton under boll-weevil
conditions should begin early
and should be thorough. Weeds
and gTasa should never be allowed to *
get a start In the crop, elnce br eo ^
doing they atuat the crop, and delay '
Its maturity. The delay may be fatal.
Tho best Implenment to use In 1
the cultivation of cotton Is the ono
which will destroy weeds and grass '
most effectively without Injuring the *
roots of the cotton plants. Jnst 1
> hat lmplnnmont that Is will depend '
on the soil type and the kind of weeds' 1
