Indicates an Average Increased Acreage
This Year OF 14.8 Per Cent.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE cotton
report of the department OF agricul-
turc for May relates to the progress of
planting and the proposed or contem.
plated acreage. The proportion OF
the contemplated area already planted
on the first Of May was $40
per cent, which approximates
very closely the breadth usually
planted at that date, which is esti-
mated at ss.2 per cent. The estimates
for the several states are as follows:
Virginia, 20; North Carolina, so; South
Carolina, 30; Georgia, 90; Florida, 100;
Alabama, 90; Mississippi, %; Louisi-
ana, 95; Texas, IS; Arkansas, 81; Ten
nessee, 20.
The returns of correspondents re-
garding contemplated acreage indicate
a considerable increase over the area
planted last year The percentages
bv states are as follows: Virginia,
lO7; North Carolina, III; South Caro-
lima, Ill; Georgia, li3; Florida, l43;
Alabama, Iii; Mississippi, 10; Loui-
siana, iO9; Texas, li5; Arkansas, 1913;
Tennessee. 127; Indian territory, l59;
Missouri, 14i. The average for the
country is HAS.
n planting is earlier than usual in most
of the cotton states, but much com
plaint is made of drought in large
area in North and South Carolina,
Georgia and Alabama, retarding the
termination of the crop. In few
counties in Texas the Mexican weevil
is reported as doing considerable dam
age. As a general thing the plant Is
said to be in good condition, with Ia
vorable season.

PREVENTING PEACH ROT.
II Can 10 Accomplished by Early SPRAY
ing, at Small Cost.

iuSt bt bmail Oobbs
Rot is one of the worst enemies OF
early peaches, but it can be controlled
by proper spraying, and at cost 81
less than two cents per tree for each
spraying. At the Delaware experiment
station, five or six sprayings increased
the yield threefold, and of this total
yield the amount of sound fruit was
increased from three to fourfold, maxi
ing total increased yield of sound
fruit at least tenfold on trees sprayed,
at a cost of 10 or IL cents per tree, COM
pared to the unsprnyed. The first np'
plication was made when the fruit buds
began to swell; the second just be.
fore the fruit buds opened; the third
when the petals had fallen; the fourth
when the fruit was the size of peas;
the fifth when the fruit began to color,
and the sixth about two weeks later,
1t is doubtful if the last two sprayings
are really necessary in most seasons,
The best success followed the use of
weakened bordeaux mixture, made Of
six pounds bluestone or sulphate of
copper and six pounds lime, to As gal
Ions of water. After the first and Sec
ond sprayings, add three ounces paris
green to this formula, as protection
against insects. Another equally good
fungicide (but the paris green should
not be used with it, is copper acetate,
eight ounces to As gallons of water.
There was twice as much rot with two
sprayings as with four or six. Neither
of these formulas will injure the foil
age.
1t is important that two of the spray
ings be done before the bloom opens
Five applications made and begun after
the bloom was nearly shed were con-
siderably less effective than when two
were made before the bloom opened
Four applications made after fruit
had set were less effective than two
made before the bloom opened. When
two applications were made, better re-
suits were obtained when one of these
was applied before the buds opened
and again when the fruit was about
one-half size, than when both were
made before the bloom opened.-Amer-

a neighbor with an 1S-cow dairy on a
130-acre farm, who made this change
last winter" writes l.. b. Pierce in
Country Gentleman. "He bought a
separator costing $120, and some other
conveniences, and proceeded TO make
high grade of butter for customers
in our town and Akron, delivering
every Saturday morning. Almost from
the start his customers brought other
customers, so he had to buy the cream
of two neighbors, besides some from
creamery few miles away. l have
my doubts whether that bought from
the creamery brought him any profit,
but in most cases it was a necessity
in order TO hold his customers through
period when from weather or acct
dents to cows his own supply was in
sufficient. The most interesting fca-
ture of his experiment is the returns
he gets from the skim-milll fed to
calves and swine. He kills and retails
his veal and pork, also making sausagcs
and mince-meat, and am inclined to
believe that his by-products bring him
in nearly as much as the beautiful but
ter his wife makes. Besides the by
products of the dairy which he sells,
including buttermilk, he sells ION his
regular weekly trips) the surplus from
fine vegetable garden, and more or
less orchard produce. He also retails
many bushels of potatoes. At the same
time they work extremely hard, and

Deep, Mellow Soil, Kept In Good Tilth.
Gives the Best Results.
There are two advantages in plant
ing potatoes reasonably deep. One is
they are less liable to be injured by
drought. The other is that there is no
necessity for killing up to prevent sun
scald. To grow and yield well potatoes
require considerable moisture. If the
soil is stirred thoroughly and deep and
the planting is deep they will be more
certain of securing plenty of moisture
than when the blowing and planting
are shallow.
Keeping the surface level and in a
rood filth aids in retaining moisture
IN the soil,
A deep. mellow, loose soil kept in a
good filth gives the best results with
all crops. Run out the burrows with a
single shovel pillow, plant reasonably
deep, cover well. If good drainage is
provided and there is not too much dan
ger of washing, il will be best not to
I'll up the burrows entirely, but to do
this gradually as the cultivation is
given. The potatoes may be planted
deeper this way than would be best if
all of the covering must be given at
o-.ce.
Have the soil rich, and if there is not
enough well-rotted manure to make
the necessary fertility, it will be good
plan to use a commercial fertilizer, APP
plying it in the hill before the seed is
planted.
If the soil is well-prepared before
planting the cultivation can begin with
the harrow and GENERALLY the first har-
rowing can be given before the plants
show above ground and a second very
soon after. In this way the soil can be
kept in good filth and the weeds de-
stroyed at low cost.
If the planting is shallow, more or
less killing up will be necessary in or
der to prevent sun-scald, and the soil
will dry out more rapidly, often to an
extent to seriously affect the growth
and yield.-St. Louis Republic.

Too few people are acquainted with the
rapid advance of medical science. and too
many doctors are still plodding in tine old
paths. Once it comes to pass that people
know themselves, that all physicians are
abreast of the worlds knowledge, much OF
our suffering will come to an end. Medic
al scientists are not delving into the depths
of knowledge for the mere benefit of brother
physicians, but for the benefit of the
world. They place in the hands of the well
man a means of keeping well, in the hands
of the sick a means of recovery To the
parent they give the power of saving the
child. Science is working for you-will you
