Southern Cotton Facto-ies.

Commissioner Patten, of North Caro-
lima, told the Louisiana Sugar Planters
Association that the establishment of
cotton factories in his State was not
only advancing the price. of cotton
there, as the home factories would pay
from one-fourth to one-half per cent.
more than English agents could afford
to pay for it to ship abroad, and giving
employment to laborers there, but 1t is
creating greater demand for other
farm products, chickens, eggs, butter,
vegetables and fruits, and thus leading
to a more diversified farming. They
have now from ITO to It's cotton fac
tories, and will probably spin the entire
product of the State this year, about
10000 bales. They employ white la
Dor altogether as yet, but factory is
being built mostly by capital subscribed
by negroes, which is to employ negro
manager and be run by negro labor.
Mr. Culver, of Alabama, said many of
the cotton mills in his State were doub-
ling their capacity, and thus far Japan
has taken their entire product, but they
anticipate also a large trade in China
when they are ready to meet the de-
mand there.

Thin Seeding.

A correspondent of the New YORK
Tribune writes that having been in
formed by one whom he knew to be a
good farmer that he had planted wheat
sixteen inches between the rows and
three inches apart in the rows, one
grain in place, and had harvested
eighty-four bushels to the acre, he
planted small plot to wheat on Sept.
%, 1898, on hard clay soil that was
MANFRED in the spring and planted to
strawberries. The planting was six
inches apart in the row between the
strawberry rows. Two rows he planted
one grain to the hill; one row two grains
to the hill. He gave the wheat one
cultivation on April "a. The average
number of heads to the hill in the rows
planted one grain to the hill was eight
cen large heads. The largest number
of heads to single grain was thirty,
which gave yield of 2,097 grains. The
row with the two grains to the hill gave
an average of nineteen heads to the
hill. The greatest yield was thirty-six
heads to the hill. which gave yield of
2,035 grains-sixty-two less than the
one grain hill. The yield was at the
rate of LOG bushels to the acre, provid-
ing the planting was twelve by six
inches. planted a small plot to oats
on the same kind of soil to the hill, and
cultivated four times. The yield was at
the rate of Ito bushels to the acre, pro-
viding the planting was done twelve by
six inches. He has raised as many as
forty-five large heads from a single
grain, when planted six by six inches
apart one grain in hill, and in 1897
he had two hills of rye, one Of which
yielded 126 heads and the other 12T
heads, each grown from a single grain.
The plants have more room for their
roots and are abundantly and constant
" fed at such distances while in close
seeding they have periods of starvation.

case of three men in the Continental
mine. The men discharged are all active
members of the United Mine Workers and
have been employed at the mines for
years. The men asked the reason for
their dismissal and were informed that it
was by order OF the district superinten-
dent.
The reason is we'll known, however.
Some days ago when a pool of the miners
on the question of strike or no strike was
taken these men all refused to enter the
mine, and so their preferences were not
ascertained. This action of the company
greatly inflamed the men and they an
nounce that they will at once carry the
matter TO President Mitchell, of the Unit
ed Mine Workers Many are inclined to
regard this last action OF the Lackawanna
Company as a direct challenge to the
United Mine Workers.
