PROTECTION TO COTTON GROWER.

Georgia has taken the initiative in an
iGrganiztfcn to insure oct-oyera tn
among cotton growers with the view OF
gathering accurate statistics, as TO pro
duction upon which the price at which
cotton shall be sold may be understood
anu regulates. Alabama has followed
Georgia in similar organization. 1t is
expected that the other cotton producing
States will enlist in this movement The
plan of organization is thus presented by
a contemporary:
1t rs proposed to gather accurate sta
tistics through the aid of subassociations
in every county. The secretary of each
subassociation will be expected to send
il weekly CT mc2thly reports to the
State association, and eventually the idea
is for each State association to forward
its data to a general cotton States asso-
ciatiOn. The idea is that in this way
absolutely accurate data can be obtained
as to the progress of the crop during
the growing season, and it's size to a bale
asceTtained as soon a. the gins have COM
pleted their seasons labor.
Commenting upon this movement and
its likelihood of success the New Orleans
Picayune says:
While our cotton grower friends are
|
which accurate data can be compiled, it
| is. nevertheless, a move in the right di-
| rectio nto aim at securing as accurate
data as possible. The farmers claim. and
| probably with justice, that their inter-
ests have been damaged by incorrect es-
Inmates based ucon the most meager in
| formation, and they propose to furnish
all interested with as accurate infOrna-
ton as it is possible to secure.
The plan for controlling the price Of
cotton is simply to enlist the aid of the
bankers in each State to assist the plant
| ers to hold their cotton when necessary
| so that the entire crop will not be crowd
ed on the market at once. It is expected
that the banks will advance to the farm
er>s at reasonable rate of interest ant
| accept their cotton stored in a warehouse
as collateral. In other words. the farm
ers propose to market their crop deliber
ately They do not propose to initiate
| the Farmers Alliance plan Of asking tn
government to advance money, or Z
store the bulk Of the crop in warehouse
and hold it there until the spinners ar
forced TO pay the price demanded.
The aims and purposes of the recentl
organized cotton growers association
seem eminently reasonable and pTacti
cable, and. if the control of the assocla
ton remains in conservative hands, ther
is no doubt at all but that they Nigh
greatly aid the cotton growers TO bette
their condition.
Whether this plan will effectually re
leve the farmer CT manipulations Whic
keep him IL ignorance Of the true r1arke
value Of lis cotton and make him th
easy victim of the speculator, can onl
be determined by test But there can b
no doubt but that an accurate lrOWledg
} Ct production, when added to knNWledg
of the worlds supply and demand, Wi
enable the cotton grower in many III
stances, particularly when independent c
creditor, to hold his Gotten foT the bes
price.

allowed to die the land Prepare it |
IN the best manner for wheat, and use
on the wheat a good dressing Of acid
phosphate alone. AS soon as the wheat
Is cut plCw the land 1ld SOW it in peas.
Cut the peas fer hay and SOW crimson
clover at the rate of l. pounds Of seed
per acre Cn the stubble in September CT
late in August. During the winter, get
out all the manure as fast as made and
spread 1t on this pea stubble, and clover
and IN the spring plow it all under for
ccrn, and make the rotation over again.
you Will thus have every year forty acres
IN corn and peas, twenty in wheat and
twenty in peas the same season. Then
as the land improves, extend the ro-
tation to a complete three year one, and
instead of sowing crimson clover after
peas, prepare the land and SOW in wheat
again and follow with peas again and
then come back to corn again. This will
give you 40 acres of wheat and peas in
place Of forty OF corn, and if followed
up will give you a large amount of forage
in the shape OF corn and fodder and pea
vine hay, with which you can fatten
considerable number OF beef cattle every
winter, and make manure fer your corn.
Still it is difficult to advise without
knowing the lay Of the land. Keep on
reading these letters and ask all the
questions you please, and if l can l will
answer them.
(which is the best the disk or the
cutaWay harrow? Would it do in winter
to ploW corn land and disk it in the
spring? After a good crop Of peas, which
were fertilized with fertilizer ontain-
ing per cent nitrogen, II per cent, phos-
! phoric acid and per cent potash, will it
| be necessary to use fertilizer On the
| wheat? The land has not been cultivated
| for seven Or eight years before and is not
| very coed. 1t was in peas last year with
acid phosphate and potash, but the crop
was poor. Why cannot I cure crimson
| clover as you advise? Last year l put
some in the same day it was cut and it
all rotted This year / cut and raked up
and put in the barn the following day.
1t was free from external moisture and ]

would not plow corn and let it lie bare
in winter. Fall plowing is all right if
! some winter crop can be plOwed under
for the corn in the spring. 1t takes
! some experience and Judgment to know
just when the clover hay will do to Sc
in.l / take q handful and wiring it hard
and if no juice runs to the twist it will
do to Sc in. But it must not be disturbed
While curing it will certainly mould
1t does not mould for me, and it will net
for you when you get the right cure OF
it. On good wheat soil there would be
no need Of additional fertilizer, but il
the case. you mention it will be better tc
give the wheat a dressing OF simple acid
phosphate.

NEGRO SHOOTS at WHITE MEN.
He Was Trying to Ave1ge the Chas-
tisement Of His Uncle.

Bud Simms, : young negro buck, was
yesterday placed in jail here charged
with assault with q deadly weapon. He
attempted to shoot Howard Griffin and
Harrison Williams, two white men who
live about four miles east Of the city.
The shooting was done to avengC injuries
inflicted upon the person of his uncle,
William Simms, by these two men.
William Simms, the uncle of the negro
who did the shooting, keeps a small store
near the Soldiers Home. On Friday
morning Harrison Williams was at this
store and a dispute arose between him
and Simms, in regard to a money trans
action, and the dispute became to violent
that the parties got out and threw rocks
at each other, but as far as can be
learned no damage was done. On Satur-
day morning Harrison Williams, rein
forced by his brother in law passed the
store again and the fight was renewed
This time the combatantS were at close
range and inflicted divers scratches and
bruises on each other, and in addition,
the negros clothes were almost torn
from him. The combatants were sepa-
rated by some carpenters who were
working Oh the hospital to the Soldiers
Home. The white men, Griffin and VIII
liams got in their wagon and went to Mr..
II. O. GattiS S store, not far distant
to wash the blood from the scratches on
Williams face.
In the meantime, while the fight was
going on Bud Simms, nephew of Will
liam Smms, sent for by some of
the family, who told him two white men
were beating his uncle to death BY the
time he reached the store the fighters
had been separated, and the white men
had gone to Gattis' store. Bud how
ever got a pistol and followed them UP
to Gattis' store, on the porch Of which
were Williams and Griffin. When he ap-
preached some one cried out, THAT negro
has pistol The negro then ran around
behind Gattis' house and came out on tfF
Gatlin road and fired at Williams and
Griffin in the porch Iie missed them,
and the ball was imbedded in the door.
The negro then ran back to his uncle s
store and gave up the pistol He has
since been arrested for an assault with
a deadly weapon, and is in jail. The
white ucn have been arrested for an af-
fray, and will be tried Tuesday before
Justice Nichols.
