Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1895-09-04

The Columbia Register gives
the following good advice as to
marketing cotton:
aThe weekly financial review is
sued Saturday by the banking
house OF Henry Clews & Co, New
York, says: "The yield of cotton
may be expected to fall considera-
bly, short of our largest, recent
wears but foI. the growers that
can hardly be regarded as a mis-
fortune; for, with the inevitable
higher prices, the net return to the
planters will be much hetter than
that of the larger crops which sold
SO low that virtually no profit was
made on them" But, the farmers
should remember that though the
cottof crop is short, higher prices
are not inevitable" If the far
mers will not rush their cotton to
market, higher prices will be re-
realized; but, if they glut the
market at the beginning of the
season, the shortness OF the crop
will be of no advantage to them
speculators will reap the benefit
after the crop is out of the hands
of the farmers. The Registers ad-
vice, often lterated, to the farmers
is to market their cotton as slowly
as their necessities will permit, SO
as never to allow. the supply to
greatly exceed the demand; if
they do this, buyers will soon run
up the price in their anxiety to
supply their mills with full stocks.
This advice cannot be given too
often, and farmers will find profit
in following tt. A crop of cotton
was never made more economical
y than this years and consequent
ly good price for it will bring
better times to most of the far
mers in the South"

off with such uniform vigor nor
tassel and shoot SO evenly, but in
this patch was always found the
earliest and some of the largest
ears.
In saving seed for these expert
ments 1 always shelled one inch
from each end of the ear and the
same from the middle, and these
we're planted in separate patches
and of considerable size. AS a
result of these experiments I con-
cluded that an early variety of
corn might be produced by plant
ing only butt grains, and always
selecting the earliest from these
for next years seed, and had i'm
proved greatly on my original
seed when in 1879 I unwisely dis
posed of all my seed except what
/ wished to plant, and lost it all.
That year we had no rain in the
spring to bring up corn until
April 20, when there was a heavy
downpour and not enough fell on
my field to lay the dust from that
tine until late in September

The best recipe for making it is
to CRATE a tablespoonful slightly

added; if 600 acid, sweeten with

Selecting Seed Corn.

The question of seed corn for
next year should be settled now
by going into the field and select
ing the most perfect ears possible
from the most prolific stalks. The
ears selected should be large, even
grained, we'll flied to the very tips
and we'll covered with shuck, and
after selecting them keep them
separate from all other corn. 1t
is good plan to shell as soon as
dry and put in a tight barrel or
box and cover with three or four
inches of ashes in which salt in
proportion of about one to ten has
been thoroughly mixed. This will
insure against weevil and will not
injure the germ if thoroughly dry
before putting away.
Every year also the question
comes up as to whether we should
reject the top and butt grains or
plant the whole ear. The result
of q series of experiments running
through several years along in the
seventies, about 10p cent. of the
grains from the tip of the ears fail
ed to germinate, and of those that
did come up fully one-half were
weak and never showed proper
vigor throughout the season, tas-
selling and shooting unevenly and
from two to eight days late. The
grains in the middle of the ear
seldom failed In a single instance
to sprout, grew off evenly, tasseled
and silked well together. The
grains from the butts of the cars,
no matter how Irregular in shape,
srrouted as universally as those
from the middle, but did not grow
