Never before in the memory OF the old
est inhabitant has such a season Of long
continued drought. accompanied wlsh in-
tense heat been experienced ia ali the
South Atlantic States, aud never before
has the value Of deep preparation and
shallow and continuous culture been so
ahundantly demonstrated says the Prac-
teal Farmer. Cotton. prepared with the
one mule pillow, ana worked with pIow
and ridgcd up has suffered beyond eX-
ample. while right alongside there are
folds on dry hills where the land was
deeply plowcd and has been worked shall
lowly and rapidly without killing, the
cotton IS green and nourishing. Another
lesson the drought has taught, II Il will
be needed. This Is that putting fertilizers
on poor land barren of humus Is mere
farmers OF the South would to-day be
better on Ia most places II not an ounce
Of fertilizer had been applied 70 the
crop In most cases II has done more
harm than good. since the dry. hot soil
could not diss0lye-it. while on fields that
have been IN rotation with peas, and the
soil has accumulated the moisture retain
Ing humus. the ferti izers have had a
good effect. We hope cur farmers will lay
these lessons away for future thought
Cotton this year. which has followed peas
and Is on land properly prepared and Gull
tivated will show a great deal greater
proht than the land that has been worked
In cotton from time immemorial with the
