Our South Carolina cotton grow
ers are moving in the matter Of re-
ducing the acreage OF cotton for the
present season. The plan is for q
few Of the leading planters to issue
call for meeting of the farmers Of
each county. When this takes place,
al. of those present agree upon a
plan to apportion the number Of
acres that each farmer of the county
SHALL plant to cotton. In this way q
pretty thorough understanding is ar
rived at, which gives the plan the
backing necessary to insure fair
degree Of success.
It has been well-said Of the cab
bage that it is a gross feeder, so
great are the requirements Of this
plant that the soil cannot be made
too rich for it. The best fertilizers
perhaps, which are most convenient
to the average farm is well rotted
manure and strong wood ashes, two
of the former to one of the latter.
The same may be said Of onions,
with the addition OF a liberal amount
of hen manure. With fair supply
of these fertilizers, onions and cab
bagcs may be grown successfully
upon even our thinnest upland clay
soils.

to the former owner, AZ for himself.
During the time he sold 1921, worth
of wool, one half 0. which he esti
mates, would, as he was situated,
paid their keeping. Supposing the
sheep to have been worth 1915 per
head at the beginning and end of
the four years, they return the form
er owner a profit OF $37.4O, or rs per
cent per annum. Supposing the
wool to have paid the keeping, of his
AZ sheep. worth $l57.5O. represented
his profits. Total profit for four years,
on q capital of $3.50, $195, or over
ll25 per cent. With a good dog law,
Arkansas could discount macy of
her sister states in this business,
largely. But the dogs, We gods! How
long will our people suffer the ills Of
sitting a profitable industry, simply
to pander to the prejudices OF class
Of people who know little and care
less for what is best, in order to keep
abreast Of the progress of events, in
their day and generation.
