Will ENFORCE THE CONTRACTS
Those Who Bought Cotton Want a
Settlement.

In the early part of last summer it
became quite popular in Georgia to
contract with factors to furnish them
so many bales of cotton at certain
price some time this winter. The sell
lers expected to obtain this cotton from
the farmers in their respective sections
and realize a profit 1t has transpired
that the farmers refused to sell their
cotton at anything like the figure at
which the merchant had agreed to sell
to the factors, and now the contractors
are very much concerned because they
are threatened with lawsuits for the
non-performance of their contracts.
In fact, the papers in several of these
writs will be filed in few days.

An Unfortunate peduct,on.

Sergt. Kelly, of the Irish bar, in the
early years of the nineteenth century,
used to indulge in a picturesque elo-
quence, racy of the soil, but unfor-
tunately he would sometimes forget
the line of argument, and would al
ways fall back on the word there
fore" which generally led his mind
back to what he had intended saying.
Sometimes, however, the effect was al
most disastrous. One time he had
been complimenting the jury, assuring
them that they were men of extraor-
binary intelligence, and then branched
off into a statement of his case. With
a wave of his hand a smile on his face
he proceeded: This is so clear a case
gentlemen, that | am convinced you
felt it so the very moment stated Il
/ should pay men of intelligence a poos
compliment to dwell on Il for a min
ute, therefore l shall proceed to ey.
plain il to you as infinitely as posi-.

Thin W. Thick Corn Planting.

How thick should corn be planted
when 1T is to he used for ensilage?
This question is of considerable inn
portance, as the thickness of planting
has a direct bearing on the yield pos
sible. No absolute rule can be given
that will suit all soils, since it is evil
dent that light and heavy soils will
behave differently, and that difference
of fertilization also has much to do
with the result.
At the New Jersey Experiment Sta
ton last year one acre Of ground was
divided into one-fourth acre plots and
planted to Southern White corn, June
Sth. The corn was planted in drills
on all of the plots, the drills being
three feet and six inches apart.
Plot l was planted at the rate of
six quarts Of corn per acre. The stalks
stood ten inches apart in the drill.
Plot at the rate of five quarts per
acre, the stalks standing twelve inches
apart.
Plot at the rate of four quarts per
acre, with stalks fourteen inches apart.
Plot 4 at the rate of three quarts
per acre, with stalks sixteen inches
apart
The results were entirely in favor
Of the thicker paintings. The yield
of silage corn on plot 1 was at the
rate of 9.03 tons per acre; on plot 2 it
was at the rate of 7.79 tons per acre;
on plot it was at the rate of 7.49
tons to the acre; and on plot at the
rate of 7.4S tons per acre.
1t was noticed on plot 1, where the
corn was planted the thickest, that 1t
took the moisture from the soil more
rapidly and suffered more from the
drouth than the other plots. The ears
were also noticeably smaller on plots
l and 2, where the corn was planted
thickly than on the more thinly seed
ed plots. The experimenters express
the opinion that the thickest planting
is the most profitable for silage corn.
We are sure that some of our silo-
lists will disagree with the above, but
know also that others VIII sustain
the conclusions reached. Some want
to grow a goodly proportion of grain
with the stalks and such will plant
at wider distances. On the other
hand, the writer once heard II. B.
Gurler remark that he intended to
plant closer and raise only stalks, find
ing it more profitable to buy the grain
needed than to raise it, taking into
consideration his increasing necessi-
ties for silage.
