Big Turnips.

Brandon News: j. E. Barksdale
of Goshen Springs. presented the
News with three turnips Monday
that beat anything ever seen or
heard of in this part of the state.
The largest one weighed II
pounds, including top, and without
top, weighed twelve pounds. The
other two weighed eight pounds
each clear of tops. MI. Barks-
dale says he has An acre that will
nearly average in weight of the
two smallest ones. They are of
the White Globe variety, and were
planted last August. They were
sown in rows and worked the same
as cotton or corn. Mr. Barksdale
banks them, and says they will keep
as we'll as sweet potatoes. If any
body can beat this we would like
to hear from them.
A SURE PREvENTIoN.-A writer
in the Farmers Forum states
that by sprinkllng two or three
pounds Of sulphur in the bottom
of their cribs and through their
corn when they gather il. farmers
will have a sure preventative from
the ravages Of rats and mice. The
remedy is very simple and well
worth a trial-that is, if any OF
the farmers have raised enough
corn this year to need showing
away in the crib.-Carrollton Con.

into the Unioni" The applicant
remembering this period we'll. be-

meant. In reply to it he wrote {:

fourths were grown in South
Carolina and one-fourth in
Georgia. About one-tenth OF the
crop was exported.
1893. This is a memorable
year in the cotton trade, made SO
by Eli Whitney's invention of the
saw gin. He was then living in
Georgia, had no mechanical as
sistance and only the rudest tools.
He even had to make his own,
wire by hand. Before this, the old
fashioned roller gins were the
best machines for cleaning cotton ;
previous to them, the bowstring
had been used for beating up and
cleaning, while earlier still the
only method of detaching the fibre
from the seed was by the tedious
process of picking with the fng-
ers, that being the evening task
of many members Of a planters
household in the olden time.
Whitney's gin was patented in
1894. The word gin is an abbre-
Walton Of engine.
1895. The second cotton mill
in the United States erected in
Rhode Island. Georgia cotton of
good quality offered New York at
one shilling six pence per pound.
1912. War with England. The
price of cotton goods such as had
previously been imported from
England at from seventeen to
twenty cents per yard advanced to
seventy-fve cents by the case.
1918. Price of cotton in this
country IL cents, in England led
to SGD. Considerable cotton was
exported during the war in neu-
trail vessels to the continent,
whence doubtless much of it found
is way to England.
1915. The rise in the price of
goods during the val had given
great impetus to the erection of
mills. In this year the importa-
ton of goods from England re-
commended, prices OF course de-
clined, and many mills that had
been built at extravagant rates be-
came almost worthless.
1925. After the opening of this
year prices of cotton advanced
from Is to 25 cents in this coun-
try, and from Sd to lid in Liver
poole, on II prospective saort sup
ply; consumption was checked.
There was no killing frost in the
cotton Safes, and some plants
''rattooned' .(sprouted from old
roots) the next spring.
