A CERTAIN CURE FOR OYseNTERY AND

"Some years ago was one of party

SUMME CULTURE
Especially as It Concerns Fruits and
Vegetables

Vegetables,
The abundance of moisture Is one of
the most deciding factors in the yield
of fruits and vegetables. and after a
farmer has done everything that good
culture will permit he must trust a
good deal to the nature of the season.
There is no harder trial to the grower
than to md very dry season slowly
neutralizing all the good work he has
done. To some there seems to be more
OF lottery In fruit and vegetable
growing on account of the uncertainty
of the weather than is actually the
case.
Any one who has kept abreast of
modern agriculture will understand
that n good deal of our so called culture
of crops is directed toward counteract-
ing the bad effects of dry seasons.
An amateur criticises the old veteran
horticulturist because he continues to
cultivate the soil when it appears to be
in a perfect condition of good filth.
Now, if one will stop to consider a little
he will find that this cultivation is to
keep the underground springs and sup
ply of water in close and ready contact
with the roots of the plants. 1t is pos
sible under certain conditions to save a
crop from drying up by good surface
culture. The thick, uncultivated sur
face soil is apt to dry up and harden,
and the moisture in the subsoil will not
come to the relief of the plants.
Notice in cornfield where the sur
face soil is we'll cultivated how the
plants, though they may wilt little in
the hot sun, will revive and look up at
shutdown. The moisture from below is
steadily supplying them with the need
full article, and, though it is doled out
sparingly if continued it will save the
crop until welcome rain finally appears.
The value of good fertility of the
soil is also noticed particularly in dry
weather. Crops that have had rich
soil to grow in and good cultivation
get such a large growth by the time
the dry season comes that they can
resist the drought. The weaker and
less sturdy plants are always the first
to succumb. Moreover, n rich soil in
fertility always retains moisture longer
than the poor soil, and if such a soil
is carefully cultivated through the sea-
son the water supply will hold out al
most indefinitely.
y rich soil and steady surface cult
walton through the season are not
meant entirely to feed the plants with
rich food but to prepare them for the
annual battle against the summer
drought. So we'll will this help at times
that whole crops will be saved while
those around are dying and drying up.
The use of the mulch in hot weather
wherever practical or possible is an
other guard against drought that is
well worth remembering and applying
1t is all a matter of good cultivation
and forethought. There will be times
when these will fail to save the crops
entirely, but the chances are all in their
/ favor, concludes The American Cul
tiyatOr.

LOUISIANA ROADS.
Their Present Condition Prevents
State Development.

Hon. T.. G. Blacksher, a planter and
large real estate owner of Robeline,
La, in a recent interview in the New
Orleans Times Democrat on the road
question said:
Il think bad roads are the greatest
drawback to this parish-in fact, are
the stumbling blocks to immigration.
l have had many men visit me and
go over my lands with view of pur-
chasing, but after travelling over the
roads would give up the idea of buy
ing saying that the roads were of such
a nature that the difficulty of market
ing the crops would be too much of an
item. They would. therefore, leave our
parish and seek some country where
the roads were better"
He further said that to maintain the
roads in good condition in that parish
would he a very small item compared
to the breakage and increase amount
of team, to say nothing of the time
and labor lost in going over the roads
in their present condition to and from
the different markets. He believed
that good roads would induce immigra-
ton and benefit the people more than
anything else. He is firm advocate
of the state fixing by statute some
mode of lettering the present condition
of the public roads through this sec
ton of the state. He is of the opin
ion that the bad roads are now holding
the state back and advocates the adop
ton of some method to better their
condition at once. mo one knows the
difficulty the people experience in go
ing to and from the markets during a
wet season unless he were to go Out
in the country himself and see the
conditions. Yes. you may say favor
anything that will tend to benefit the
present condition of the public roads. y

STATEMENT BY CANNON.
Issues Circular to His Machinists Guard
Against Misunderstanding
lBy the Associated Presg. )

Washington, May 29.-Vice- President
Cannon Of the Southern Railway today
said that so far none of the machinists
of that system had stopped work except
those at Charleston. and that he had
taken no steps to fill the places OF the
Charleston men, thinking it probable that
they would return to work.
Mr. Cannon has sent out notice to be
posted in on the doors of the machine
shops of the line giving some of the de-
tails of his conference Monday, with the
committee representing the machinists,
and explaining the differences which de-
veloped over the demand for nine hour
day Referring to the threat to close the
shops, Mr.. Cannon says in his circular:
"The management, believing in the in
telligence and honesty of purpose Of the
shop men. has no fear as to what action
they will take under such circumstances.
The unreasonable action of the misguid-
ed committeeman, who seemed to think
that they should present the dictates Of
an outside organization rather than the
views and wishes of our own men. has
possibly put the matter in such shape as
to lead to a misunderstanding This
communication is sent to you to guard
against such result. The proceedings
of the meeting win be sent you tomor-
row, and, if after reading them, you con-
slider it desirable TO have another meet
ing, it will be my pleasure to so ar
range"
