SENSIBLE SUGGESTIONS

70 the farmer of the South Reiterated
- Of Importance.
In 1883 the leading cotton factors of
st. Louis issued an address to the cot
ton growers of the south. in which
they discussed the matter in a sensible
and practical manner. We refer to
them now for the purpose Of reiterat-
ing them, as the subject is one of vital
importance.
Your section" they remark, ''pos-
sesses the finest farming lands and the
most salubrious climate in the world,
and should be to day financially indie
pendent Instead of having to borrow
on . crop before it is made. should
have her corn bins and larders filed
before commencing q crop.
"With all your patient toll and econ
omy, you are neither SO thriving or
prosperous as you should be.
There is q cause for these troubles,
and we offer, without presuming, the
following suggestions:
'l. The credit system, as it is now
in vogue in the south, is disastrous to
the planters and tenants, forcing them
to pay extravagant prices for supplies,
causing their crops to be forced into
market with such rapidity and in such
quantities "a to break prices almost
Invariably below the cost of produc-
tion.
SO. After noting for years the effect
Of large crops Of cotton. we find that
the overproduction Of the staple is the
keynote to the situation, and we
strongly advise all parties interested
in the prosperity Of the south to dis
courage the planting Of large acreage
this year, and devote their labors first
to the raising Of grain, cattle and hogs,
and give the balance Of their time to
the culture Of hogs
This policy will bring good results
in many ways For instance. many
small farmers-and large ones also
are % heavily in debt when their cot
ton is ready for sale that they are
compelled to let it 20. even though
its price is below its intrinsic
worth, while If they had supplies at
home, produced, and not bought on a
credit, they could afford to hold their
cotton until they felt justified in sell
ing.
"With the production of enough
provisions on each farm, cotton would
become > surplus, and soon the incu-

HERE AND THERE.

The worst form of grippe is tho
mortgage.
The farmer can not run his farm
successfully without plans.
Farming requires as much brain
work to insure success as any other
business.
The high price Of the hog product in
1898 may prove blessing in disguise to
the people of the south.
No statistics will convince the farm
er or anybody else that he is prosperous
when his income is small and his outgo
large.
On many farms it would be wise to
turn one-half the land to grass and put
all the work on the other half Land
in grass is worth as much per acre as it
could be rented for.
The only practical way to reduce
the amount and increase the price of
the cotton crop of the south is to more
generally adopt diversified farming.
This is . practical ''double-header." 81
rule that works both ways" the
diversified products being more profita-
BILE than cotton, and making . smaller
amount of cotton bring more money.
The late Hiram Smith was once
asked, in q meeting of the Wisconsin
Dairymen's association to state the
first step to be taken in starting a
dairy, and his prompt answer was:
BUY bull" The bull is always the
most important half of the herd, and
the more inferior the cows the more
important it is that the bull shonld b
Of super-excellent dairy merit.
The worm which attacks the to.
mato is the same as that which later
attacks cotton. The best preventive
for its attack upon the tomato consists
in planting corn with the tomatoes
Plant the corn early and the first brood
of the worms will breed upon it rather
than upon the tomatoes They are
often called the bud worms 1t is
doubtful whether the application of
insecticides to the tomatoes for the Ge-
struction Of the boil worm will pay.

Insect Enemies to stored Grain.

insect Enemies 10 StOfG0 0tob0s
Insects that attack stored grain, do
an immense amount of damage every
year. AS a rule, they are already with
in the grain when it is put away in the
autumn. and during the winter they
continue their work of destruction.
In the spring the bins in which the
grain has been kept during the winter.
otter fairly swarm with pests, and
after awhile they escape to the field to
begin their work anew. In the spring
is one Of the best and important
times to destroy these insects, for
they should be killed before they
make their escape to the fields.
When the bins or cribs are
nearly empty or entirely SO, the grain
weevils are very easily destroyed in
many ways. If in a tight bin. kill by
means of bisulphide of carbon. This
substance is an excellent insecticide
for killing insects which can not be
reached by the other insecticides. It
kills by it's fumes, which are destruc.
tive to insect life. It is best obtained
direct from the manufacturer. Every
farmer should keep this substance IN
hand for use at any time to destroy
grain insects, ants and the like. The
weevils in an empty bin can also be
killed by spray of kerosene, or sweep
ing them up into shovel and putting
in a pan of kerosene. Dixie Farmer.
