HOW THE PRICE OF COTTON
CAN BE INCREASED.
Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
CHARLOTTE. N. G.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
CHARLOTTE, N. G.
The most vital of all questions now
affecting the South is how to increase
the price of cotton. Cotton congresses
have met, and others are being called
to solve the question. So far only one
idea has pervaded these deliberative
assemblies, viz. cut down the acreage,
make less.
This is simply childish, when three
fourths of the people have not two
suits of clothes apiece. People in
rags, and say the remedy is raise less
cotton. But this is only on a par with
the United States Congress, when it
destroyed silver as money metal in
order to give the people more money.
If this is not lunacy, the people are
idiots. When people are hungry do
you say raise less bread stuff9 The
basis of your reasoning is the same.
Would it not be more in accord with
the eternal fitness of things to reduce
the abnormal purchasing power of the
dollar9 Instead of raising less cotton
and less wheat, let the Government
stop culling in the treasury notes, and
issue more of them. Money is the
representative of wealth. Consider
what relation now exists between the
amount of wealth and the amount of
money9 Sixty billions of wealth and
less than two billions to represent it !
No wonder that cotton sells for less
than it's cost of production. 1t is not
the superabundance of cotton, but the
shortage of the circulating medium.
That is playing the devil with our
people.
These congresses of cotton growers
should go a step further and say how
to increase the price Of real estate.
Land that sold for ten to thirty dollars
per acre ten years ago, now goes
begging-cannot be sold at all. Will
they be consistent and advise the re-
ducing of the number of acres-ifs so, tell
us how7 But there is one item that
would be well to reduce the number of
apes enormous apes-that stand bray
ing at the wrong end of the row. They
advise impossibilities and impractibil-
tiles. in calling on farmers to plant
one third less acreage. It is reason
able to suppose farming lands cannot
find market, especially so when our
population is rapidly increasing. There
is something rotten In Denmark, and
all sensible men not wearing q golden
collar believe the lack of q greater
volume of money the cause of the
trouble. ]. B. ALEXANDER.

There is no fact clearer to my mind
than that nine tenths of the corruption
in politics and social life, against which

traced to the liquor traffic as its prime

why they don't know this is a mystery

Don't neglect the first opportunity of
filling the ice house; if you do, you
may not get another this year. Pack
it away carefully, and with plenty of
straw or litter, so that it will not waste.
Especially is this important where
dairying is carried on. Good butter
cannot be made in summer in the
South without ice or very well shaded
cool spring house.

The following, from the Kansas

ing and consideration:
And still the mortgage mill is swift

their hands are tied by decision OF
the plutocratic, monopolistic and cor

of the state, which declares that when
ever sheriff sells piece of propertv

what the bid, the sale shall not be
held invalid OF account of inade-
quacy of price. Il farm worth So. 900
may be sold for $40, the sale confirmed
and the District court would have no
say as to whether it was just, right or
equitable, to let valuable property go
for little or nothing and leave judg-
ment to hang over debtor, so as to
forever keep him crushed to Garth.
The PoDulist judges, Mckay and
Bashore, however. do exercise their
equity powers when it comes 20 con-
firming these sheriff sales of mortgaged
property, and whenever the property
IS reasonably worth the face of the
mortgage that they refuse to confirm

Seeding Blue Grass

Please advise us through your paper
of the best time to SOW blue grass,
writes a subscriber to Orange County
Farmer. Prof. H. j. Waters of the
Pennsylvania State college answers:
Our efficient farm superintendent, w.
Z. Patterson, informs me that during
the past twenty-five years there have
been very few seasons in which blue
grass has not been sown upon some
part OF the campus, college or expert
mental farms. 1t does well here on
our limestone soil, making a rapid
growth and close sod. Summing up
the experience of these years, it has
been found that spring seeding has
given us the best results. Failures to
secure good catch have been very
rare indeed. The land is thoroughly
prepared in the fall, that is, plowed to
reasonable depth and narrowed
until the surface is smooth and fine
AS early in the spring as the ground is
sufficiently dry to work, and danger
from frost is over, it is harrowe1
and the seed sown broadcast at the
rate of from one to two bushels
in the field and three to four bushels
per acre for lawns. Usually other
grasses were sown with the blue grass
and in all cases a small quantity of
both red and white clover seed is sown
on the same ground. Before harrow
ing preparatory to seeding In the
spring, however, a small quantity of
oats-about two and one half .pecks
per acre-is sown broadcast. TIE har-
rowing given the land to prepare it for
the grass will cover the oats. The
spring rains will start the grass and
oats quickly and they are allowed TO
grow until the oats are about heading,
when the mower is run over the ground
with the cutter bar set rather higher
than is usual for ordinary work. The
crop is cured for hay or used for soil
ing or put into the silo. The exact time
OF cutting the oats will be governed
somewhat by the growth they make
and the season. Without question
too much shading is detrimental to
the young grass plants, making
them weak and spindling, and vet
sufficient to protect them in part from
the direct rays of the sun is believed
to be beneficial. Hence the oats should
be cut before too much growth is
made. AS rule they start up again
in short time and furnish some pro-
lection to the grass during July and
August. By this time the grass is
strong enough to take care of itself
and a good sod is soon formed.
Further south, where the long, hot
summers and comparatively mild
winters are the rule, fall seeding from
Aug. Is to Sept. 5, is preferable with
out doubt. 1 have assumed that
my questioner proposes to seed
tillable land. If the land is
cough or partially sodded the
seed may be sown broadcast early in
the spring and if not too rough or the
sod already thick, harrow run over
the ground before sowing will be very
beneficial.

Whitewashing.

While whitewash made from she'll
lime may be good enough for inside use,
it never. proves satisfactory on the out
side of buildings, says Mail and Ex-
press. 1t soon washes off, leaving the
boards exposed to the action of sun and
rain, and does but little good. As stone
lime (made from lime stone) can be
procured almost anywhere, and cheapIy.
too. it should be used in preference to
shall lime. Get that which is fine, well
bNraed and free from shales, and never
use that which is air slaked. Put
your lime into a tub and pour on
enough hot water to barely cover it.
and leave it until it has broken to
pieces, after which slowly add water
enough to make it like very thick
cream. Take out enough of this lime
into your bucket to make what you
wish to use, and tone it down with
water to the proper consistency, add
ing double handful of common
salt to each pail of whitewash. which
prevents it from peeling off, caus-
ing it to cling well during the rain,
which adds to its brightness. Do not
put the whitewash on when too thick.
as this is one of the great causes of its
peeling off. For inside work, where
the wall is plastered or has a
smooth finish, and when you wish
to have an extra nice and attrac-
tive job, for each pail of whitewash
use large teaspoonful of Venetian red,
powdered finely and we'll mixed with
the whitewash. This coloring is very
cheap and will give the work a neat
rose tint. You can use more or less of
the color as You wish, remembering,
however, that it dries much lighter
than when at first put on. As carbolic
acid, when mixed with lime, loses
much of its virtue, it will hardly pay
TO use it to act as preventive against
lice, mites, etc. Cleanliness ard a
frequent use of whitewash viii do The
