KEEP THE pLow MOVING.
Don't Let the Weeds Get AhenG Of
You or Allow the Soil Surface
to Become Baked.

This is the busy month on the south
ern farm. Everything needs work al
most the same day. After every show
er, the crust should be stirred with
harrow, cultivator or scrape. If any
May grass or weeds have escaped they
should be promptly removed. 1t there
are too many stalks of cotton or corn,
prompt removal is in order; every day
they remain they are using the food
which should go into making the final
yield.
The long days of June give oppor-
tunity for many hours work. The
hot sunshine puts vigor into every
growing plant. The sunshine will
evaporatc the moisture rapidly if a
crust is formed. But il the soil is
pulverized an inch or so it will arrest
the upward flow of capillary water,
and the roots will rejoice in the album
dant supply. There is no danger OF
pulverizing the top soil too fine. Avoid
root cutting if possible. Roots are
all needed by the plants. Sometimes
we are forced to choose between cut
ting few roots and the formation of
hard crust, and the crust may be
more damaging to the crop than the
cutting of some roots. Then, of
course, it is wise to choose the course
that will do least harm.
If the soil could be kept in good con-
dition, and all weeds and grass kept
out, then it would be better not to
cut single root. But as this is hard
~ possible, we must use our best judg-
ment, and do the most good and least
harm.
This is generally the turning point
between the good and poor farmer.
AS rule, it is safe to push all work
in June and never wait for rain. But
be sure to wait after the rain until
the soil is dry enough.
If you can brush out row each
time and go over cotton and corn each
week with harrow or cultivator, they
will grow faster for being often
stirred. Now is the time we need to
prepare to use two-horse cultivators.
Not many of us are ready for them.

in South Carolina, and along the gulf
sissippi and two per cent. in Alabama
Texas records loss of two per cent.
Arkansas eight per cent. and Tennes-
see 5H per cent. Florida and LOUISE
ana, according to our information,
have made no appreciable departure
from previous areas. The changes this
year show net decrease, compared
with 1898, of 3.2 per cent, making the
total 22,433,245 acres in 1899, against
23,175, 900 acres in 1898.
AS to maturity the crop is without
doubt backward one. The spring
opened late, delaying planting, and
over n pretty wide area deficiency Of
moisture interfered with rapid germi-
nation of the later-planted seed. At
the same time temperature has all
along been more satisfactory than has
been the case in most recent years, SO
that when needed rains came, very
satisfactory growth .Cesulted. In
southern Texas the crop is much more
advanced than elsewhere, seed having
been planted earlier, and the weather
conditions, as a rule, favoring salts
factory development. In fact it may
be said that first paintings in that
state are, on the whole, more forward
than was the case a year ago.
Cultivation has been well attended
to, and the fields,as rule,are in good
shape. The only exceptions are where
recent rains have allowed grass a
chance to grow. AS already noted,
there has been considerable decrease
in the use of artificial fertilizers. In
the Atlantic states and in Alabama,
where the commercial sorts have been
largely availed of late years, the TAX
ings have, this year, fallen off materi-
ally.
Condition of the plant generally is,
at this writing, somewhat later, but
otherwise about up TO last year. In
the Atlantic states and Texas the pres
ent promise is best, but nowhere is
the outlook discouragfng. There has
at no time in recent years been so
much complaint of defective seed as
in 1899. In the gulf states, as well as
in Arkansas and Tennessee, most of
the replanting required is ascribed to
that cause. Some of these replantings
are only now attaining visible growth.
Toward the close of May damage by
the Mexican boil weevil was reported
from portions of Texas, and cutworms
were claimed to be doing harm in
parts of Arkansas and Tennessee.
Thus far, however, no considerable in.
jury has resulted from either.

"A new law in Colorado makes

DO not make a hog eat bushel

hogs will be better for having it.
"A poultry journal says: "A pair
of geese should yield about So worth

correct when feathers are worth $1.5O
per pound, but at present prices it
will require the best effort of about
ten geese.

that $50 would be the number indicat-

THE OUTLOOK FOR COTTON.


The Commercial and Financial
Chronicles annual June estimate of
cotton acreage in the United States
says:
The tendency to reduce cotton acre
age this season is apparent, but the
aggregate deduction from the area is
not heavy. The Indian territory stands
alone in recording a large increase,
but that result is due to exceptional
causes. 1t is ascribed to the unsettled
condition of Indian affairs, on account
of which farmers refrained from GO
ing to the trouble of diversifying their
crops, fearing they can not hold pos
session of their lands. The greatest
decrease seems to have been in Mis-
souri, and Oklahoma. In the Atlantic
states the falling of ranges from three
per cent. in Virginia, TO six per cent

A Plea for Optimism.


o writers realistic"
Won't you. just to please friend.
Be not so pessimistic
In the way your stories end?
And can't you now and then contrive
To let the lovers wed,
Nor have the heroine arrive
To find the hero dead?
The fair-appearing things Of life
Are not forever bad;
And even In this vale Of strife
Are moments good and glad.
o. can't you to your world of doubt
Admits a little flash
OF sunshine now and then without
Its going all to smash?
Quit blighting every happy bud
And clouding every hour;
Quit smearing all our gods with mud.
Quit making sweet things sour.
We're tired of those cynics who
Embitter every cup.
Ring off! We bilious winners, do
For PHYS sake let up!
