The Question of Good Seeds.


1t costs considerable in the way Of
care and intelligent labor to save first
class aeeds, Of cabbage especially. As
1t is a biennial it requires two sea-
sons to produce a crop of seeds, and
the conscientious grower of good cab
bage seeds must sacrifice the finest
heads of one season to produce seeds
the next. Starting with a good strain
of cabbage seeds, the only way to main
tain their good quality is by selecting
solid, well-formed heads in the field
and later the entire plant must be
carefully preserved until the following
spring and then set out in soil adapted
to seed development-soil rich in min
eral elements.
1t is an ancient saying that whoever
makes two blades of grass grow where
only one grew before is public bene-
factor" It may we'll be said of the
man engaged in growing and selling
perfect seeds, he is worthy of a monu-
ment There is a general complaint
the country over of the difficulty of
getting seeds pure and true to name.
FARMERS anu 6dlutiAtlo IL SFNAS
ton make the same complaint: seeds
did not come up" seeds not true to
name" seeds badly mixed with weeds
and so on. 1t is bad state of affairs
to be sure. About the only remedy
that is anyways practical is for farm
ers, gardeners and others to either raise
their own seed or buy directly from
those who produce them. There are
reputable seed growers in one place or
another that produce the various farm
and garden seeds. Bought directly
from them the seeds as rule are fresh,
unmixed and true to name.
In the routine of commerce there is
no telling how old, impure and unrell-
able seeds may become before they
reach the backwoods farmer and gard
ner. The Southern farmer can raise
nearly all his own seeds, and why
should he not?

The Cotton Crop of ro-nov

The last number of the Review of
Reviews has an instructive article by
the editor of the Manufacturers Rec
ord. with the above title, says the
Practical Farmer. This article presents
some very striking figures. Since June,
1881, the exports of -four wheat and
corn aggregated in value $4,190 900, O0O
while the cotton. cotton goods and cot
tonseed products for the same period
exported amounted to IS, 800 900, 600 Two
years ago, the writer says. our corn
crop was cut short 40 per cent by
drought and hot winds, but that enor-
nous decrease did not create any ex-
element in the financial and manufac-
turing centers of the world, and did
not even halt the phenomenal progress
of Western railroad construction, but
IL would take a vivid Imagination to
picture the disasters that would follow
a so per cent. decrease in the cotton
crop of this country, to such an ex-
tent is the industrial welfare of the
world dependent on this crop. The
writer further remarks that the North
ern traveller in the South, who has been
accustomed to grass and green fields
thinks the Southern soil looks very

ing can support the growers. But he
little understands the situation The
average value per acre of the cotton
crop for the year 1901 was $22. The
average value per acre of the wheat
crop in the same year was 1919 per
acre, and the average value per acre
Of the corn crop of the country was
S1082. on the richer and better farm
ed lands of the South the value per
acre will run up to $40 to $50 With
crop that produces such results as these
with the acknowledged poor farming,
ii is hard to estimate it's value II the
whole South was farmed as IT should
be. Northern farmers going South sell
dom want to go into cotton culture, be-
cause they attribute the worn charac-
ter of much of the land to the crop,
when in reality the crop is one of the
least exhaustive of crops if the meal
from the seed produced is returned
to the soil, either directly or through
feeding it to stock. At the prices now
commanded by cotton the figures above
given will be nearly doubled, and any
one can see what would be the result
if the cotton crop of to-day was pro-
duced on half the number of acres
while the rest of the land was grow
ing forage crops and feeding stock.
The article we have noticed closes
with the tOIOWlnS Suggestive IeIlal no
I'm 1900 there were 302, 900 hands en-
ployed in the cotton mills of this coun-
try. On this basis the full utilization
in our mills of the ten and half mil
lion bales we now produce would fur
nish employment for nearly million
operatives. For the control of this
vast industry, employing million peo-
pie. probably two billions of capt.
tai, and producing about $1,500,OO0, 900
year of finished goods, the South is
now beginning to contend. 1t is a
prize worth the struggle, for it is
enough to enrich an empire. Add to
the $500, ZOO. 900 or $4,000 900, the pres
ent value of the cotton and seed crop
the 81. 800, 000, 900 as the values of the
finished product, and the $125, 100000 as
the present value of the product OF
the cottonseed Oil mills, and the total
of about $2,25O, 900, OO0-merely, of course,
rough estimate in round figures-is
the dazzling wealth which the South,
by natural advantages, has the right
to claim and the certainty of eventu-
ally winning"

Cow Peas for Poultry.

Several tests have recently been
made with a view of determining the
relative merits of COW peas as egg pro-
ducers. as compared with corn, wheat,
oats, etc. In each case the peas, after
maturity. were harvested and stored
in dry lofts, and thrown to the fow,s
in the scratching pens, where they were
scratched over and searched for dur
ing the whole day. After few days,
the egg supply visibly increased, and
within a few weeks almost doubled

kept in separate quarters AMI fed on
other grains.
The hens seemed to like the small
branches and leaves and would eat
every particle except the hard stiff
stems. The general health of the flock

NuIching in the Garden. Etc.

Two or three two-horse crates OF
pinestraw will go long ways, judi
ciousIy used. in the truck garden, in
protecting any half-hardy plants from
injury when severe freezes occur.
Hard freezes occur sometimes as
early as December. but usually not be-
fore January. onions just up from
the seed have very slim hold upon
the soil for several weeks after COM
ing up, and if the soil becomes frozen
while they are small the plants are
likely to be heaved out and consequent
ly killed.
A sprinkling of pinestraw, enough to
protect the soil fully from the sun,
along the rows of plants six or eight
inches on each side, will usually pro-
tect from heaving. 1t is well worth
this precaution always. Any Trimmings
of these plants can be transplanted
elsewhere after January. If Italian
or Bermuda varieties are used this
fall-sowing is bound to be a success
if not injured by freezing and the soil
is rich enough to make them. 1t is a
money crop to the trucker when prop
erly grown.
Another crop that pays well is cab
bage. The first setting should be
made in the fall. Even in Middle
Georgia plants can be safely set out
any time in November and sometimes
even later. especially if one is able and
willing to allot a peck of pinestraw to
each plant for the purpose of mulching
at the proper time. A small handful of
straw dropped right on the plant to
cover the bud and a big double handful
packed close about the stem will insure
a possible ten-pound cabbage. In
raising cabbage there is everything in
having the right variety. 1t is not
picked up everywhere. One must find
it from actual experience, or what is
pretty much the same, from the ex-
perience of ones near neighbor. Don't
try to get first-class cabbage seeds for
a dollar a pound. 1t cannot be done.
Really first-class seeds cannot be OBJ
tanned for less than SO or 81 except

FLORIDA WANTS TEACHERS.

Just at present there is an exception
al demand for teachers in Florida
On account of the repeal of an act pro-
viding for special examinations and
temporary certificates, some of the
counties have suffered for lack of the
requisite number of teachers. They
have applied to the state superintend-
ent about the matter, and as a result
Mr.. Sheats has ordered another uni
for examination to be held Nov. /. Sc
great is the demand for teachers in
some of the counties that they have
written to County Superintendent
Glenn asking him if teachers could not
be provided from this district. 1t is
expected that there will be many APP
plicants for examination. There are
still eight vacant scholarships in the
State Normal School at De Funiak
Springs.

In the Garden-Autumn work.


In the South the gardening year
properly begins IN the fall with the
planting or sowing of those hardy
crops that are rarely seriously affected
by the average cold of a Southern win
ter. There are not many of these but
they are important. Spinach and
onions are the hardest of our garden
vegetables and are rarely injured by
the seVerest cold If started in time so
that they are well-rooted before cold
occurs. Cabbage. English peas, SASH
fy, kale beets, carrots, parsnips, are
all vegetables more or less hardy, all
lowing of fall planting anywhere below
the latitude of Macon, with only oc-
casional serious injury from cold.
Let the risk be what it may the
trucker or gardener that grows them
for market will gladly take it. The
crop will be the earlier and the finer
if not injured by cold.
Other work in the garden in the fall
is the planting of strawberries. rasp-
berries, asparagus; getting the cold
frames in order and starting in them
their appropriate crops. In fact the
measure of success in the spring VII
be according to the measure of work
done in the fall as a general rule.
Between now and the close OF the
year nearly all the manuring of the
garden should be done. All vacant
plsts should be listed up-huted as it
were-and any stable or lot manure on
hand should be spread broadcast. The
good effects of freezing will be secured
to the land when thus ridged up.
Orchard work is more winter than
fall work, but If there are grass or
weeds growing about the trees this
growth should be moved and allowed
to lie on the ground and rot. A pillow
should not be allowed near any tree
that has begun to bear.
