USE WIRE COTTON TIES.
Commissioner Patterson says That i
the Way Farmers May Down the
Tie Trust.

Commissioners S. i. Patterson, al
ways on the outlook for anything
that will benefit the farmers, has been
looking around for some way to
thwart the plans of the trust that has
made a corner on the familiar band
and collar" tiles, that have for years
been used for binding cotton bales,
and have raised the price.
The best way, Commissioner Patter-
son thinks, is to refuse to buy the
ties made by the monopolists. Inc
best Lle yet found to take the place Of
the TRUST tie is made of wire. and II
it is quite as good as the hoop tie.
Trust ties cost 1921 a hundred pounds,
while the wire ties cost only $2.40 a
hundred pounds.
The South Carolina Farmers Ali
ance has made arrangements with the
Washburn and Aloen Manufacturing
Co., 241 Pearl street, New York, to
manufacture ties for them. They make
a No. tie, that weighs 371s pounds to
the bundle, at 90 cents a bundle deliv-
cred.
Mr.. Patterson says it is too late to
make an organized fight on the tie
trust now, as so large a part of the
cotton crop is marketed, but that far
mers can leave the trust out in the
cold by letting them keep their hoop
ties,

CONDITION OF THE CROPS.
Frosts in the North, Rains in the West
and Drought in the South.

Washington, Sept 22-The Weather
Bureau in its report of crop conditions
for the week ended September 81, says:
AS most crops had been secured, the
heavy frosts over the Northern States
during the latter part of the week
caused but little damage.
The heavy rains over southern, CEN
trail and western Texas during the
latter part of the week lowered the
grade of cotton, but the benefit to the
top crop will more than counter
balance the injury sustained. In Mis-
sissippi cotton is turning out better
than was expected, and in some Sec
tions is making new growth, which,
however, is too late to be matured this
season. Over the central and eastern
portions Of the cotton belt the week
has been dry and the work of picking
has made rapid progress under favor
able conditions.
Except in the Southern States, where
drought continues, the general condi-
ton of the soil for blowing and seed
ing of winter grain is excellent and
this work, which in some States had
been delayed, has been pushed rapidly
and is now well advanced. In Michi-
gan, Indiana and Illinois, early sown
grain is coming up and is looking well,

GARDEN AND ORCHARD.

EVaporating is good way of saving
fruit when there is not good market
for it.
Some varieties of fruit, like the cherry,
after they start to grow, need little
if any pruning.
Cultivate all orchards sparingly now.
Give the trees time to ripen their wood
before winter.
When there is an over-supply of fruit
to good advantage.
In sending any kind of fruit to mar
ket it will pay to sort carefully before
packing for shipment.
In the selection of trees for plant
ing look carefully after the roots and
see that they are all right.
One advantage with low-headed trees
is that it is easier TO gather the fruit
from them when it is ripe.
Better take little time to water the
young growing trees now than to run
the risk of losing the tree.
About the only objection to low-head-
ed trees is that the branches interfere
with the work of cultivating.
Early in the fall, when the growth is
completed and the wood ripeled, is a
good time to prune apple trees.
All things considered, there are few
fruits that can be grown as econom-
ically as the grapeor the cherry.
Whatever tends to promote the gen.
eral health and thrift of the tree viii
also help to free both tree and fruit
from blight and scab.-St. Louis Re

Mr.. B. NJ Lelong, at the meeting Of
tie State Horticultural society OF Cali
fornia, is reported to have stated as fol-
lows:
In the past two years enormous
quantities of paris green have been
sold to growers, much of which was
q very inferior quality. The results
were equally as poor, ard many grow
ers have Il us become prelaoiced against
its use. Samples of paris green have
been examined with astonishing results
Several samples, although of nearly the
same shade Of color as the pure paris
green, were found to be mixture of
prussian blue and chrome yellow, clay
and chalk. Others were found 10 con.
tain no Grsenious acid. In many cases
the fault lies with the fruit growers
themselves, for we have continually ad.
Hised them to use the pure article, which
costs 20 cents per pound. This advice
has been disregarded TO a considerable
extent End the cheapest grades have
been purchased, with little or no re-
suits. It twas only last week that an ex-
rensiTe apple grower visited several
stores in quest of paris green, refused
the pure at 20 cents, and had large
quantity shipped to him al 4s4 cents per
pound. You can therefore imagine the
