and so on. Be wary in the matter of bor-
ders and friezes. In these a good design
is seldom to be had. Also, they are gen.
orally too narrow, obiging you to put
your picture at their junction with the
wall paper, which may be entirely the
wrong place for it. The right place for a
picture moulding is even with the tops Of
the different heights of doors and win
dows, then it should be even with the
greatest number.
A simple and satisfactory way of treat
ing a room is to carry the calcimine of the
ceiling down to the picture moulding, pos
sibly eighteen inches or more, and let the
paper begin there. Obviously the ceiling
should be one OF the lightest shades Of the
paper, or else cream color. Some pretty
rooms have been made by selecting a good
paper frieze and calcimining or painting
the rest of the wall to match one OF its
darker colors. II the freize Is not wide
enough, its lower edge may be set at the
proper height and the ceiling color carried
down to its upper edge. The irregularity
may even be cut out before pasting It
upon the wall.

S. T. c., Clay Miss, Nov. l6, 1907 for
the first time will ask a few questions to
be answered through the columns of The
Journal at an early date.
viii Sea Island, or long staple cotton
yield a profitable crop on our land in
northeast Mississippi, it being a stiff, fiat
land, with clay subsoil? If so, where can
get seed and at what cost per bushel?
How much commercial fertilizer would be
required per acre on above described land
that will yield one-half bale of ordinary
cotton peracre, and what would be the
best kind to get?
L desire to try this cotton If you think
it will pay me.
Answer-Sea Island cotton has not prov
en- a profitable crop on any kind of soil
very far in the interior. The plant, to
produce a good crop, seems TO require the
influence of salt air and the sandy soils
located near the coast. Your effort to
grow a crop of Sea Island cotton on the
red clay lands of northeast Mississippi
would be entirely experimental, with all
the chances of success against you. You
can secure pure seed by writing to the
Long Staple Gin Co., Valdosta, Ga. 1t re-
quires rich land and a high grade COM
plete fertilizer to grow good yield OF
long staple per acre. Apply not less than
300 pounds of guano per acre on fertile
land. You might try an acre so as to de-
termine the experiment

Marketing Cotton.

r. r. Love, Fort Mountain, Ga.
Agricultural Editor Semi Weekly Journal:
/ have read your advice to the farmers
In The Atlanta Journal about the farmers
holding back their cotton in the fall for
better price. 1 wish to call your attention
to one great cause of cotton being rushed
to market in the fall season. 1t is the peo-
pie having to pay their taxes too soon,
and many have to sell their cotton to pay
their taxes / heard a small farmer say
a day or two ago that he would have to
sell his cotton to get money to pay his
taxes, and his taxes would not amount to
over "a. When money is scarce the people
are pressed to pay their taxes, and cotton
being a cash crop, it is rushed in faster
than the consumers want 1t. Take the
wholesale and commission merchants for
an example. Their taxes are from $500 up.
They have to pay their taxes in the fall.
They push the retail merchants to collect
what they have credited out. The retail
merchants try to collect what they have
credited out, and that forces the land
owner and renter both to sell their cotton
generally on a declining market. 1t is only
a few of the farm RS and merchants that
can hold back their cotton and very few
Of them are full-handed enough to. Not
only do the taxes affect the cotton raiser
disadvantageously, but it affects the farm
ers in that portion of Georgia that don't
raise cotton forcing them to sell their
corn in the fall in the place of having time
to feed il and put it into meat. A person
having a lot of stock is compelled to sell
some of them at the wrong time of the
year to get a good price for them on ac-
count of having his taxes to pay. If the
state government is obliged to have money
in the fall it would be better to make the
taxes 10 cents on the thousand more,
which would be $4,000. and take that and
pay interest on borrowed money to use,
and give the people more time. The peo-
pie should have at least till the first of
March to pay taxes. The state borrowing
money for tAree or four years, the state
government would have time to adjust it
self to a later time in collecting taxes. /
think the legislatures attention should be
called to this subject. 1 am not writing
for publication, but as said in the start
to call your attention to this subject and
for you to use your own judgment wheth-
er it is worth consideration and publish
ing something about 1t. l am a subscriber
to The Journal.
Note by Editor-The above letter is pub
nshed because in this department of The
Semi Weekly the agricultural editor is
always pleased to present the views of
subscribers on all important questions
which affect the interests of the rural
classes Farmers are not required to pay
their taxes before the middle of Decem-
Der, nor are any of their debts due before
the nrst of October, hence there was abb
solutely no need for rushing the market
in August and September, and giving the
spfnners and spectators every opportuni-
ty to depress prices, by reason of an enor-
nous oversupply beyond legitimate de-
mands.
