Nearly all the apples on the market
have no ones name on the barrels, and
~ IS we'll for a great many of them that
rh.rc is no name on them, for no one
,gcgld care to be responsible for the con
trars OF many barrels we see, Which are
torged of at the ends with good apples
and stuffed with trash lii the middle If
The grower and packer had put his name
on these barrels it would have simply
answered a good purpose to prevent any
one from buying them second time
Dut these dishonest packers never put
their names on the barrels, but generally
. mere pencil scraWl OF the name OF
variety supposed TO be inside. Passing q
4ruIt stand recently We were attract
cd by the appearance OF q barrel of
sapjc~, which were so fine that at first
We hardly recognized them as Baldwins
they were 50 much better than the gen
,ral stock OF Baldwins. Not a bruised
ror a specked apple could We find in the
barrel and no signs Of scab were On them
a~ is generally the case, this season es-
rccialy. This showed that the grower
vas Il Wide-aWake man and sprays his
trees carefully | was, therefore, not
surprised to find on the heading taken
from the barrel neatly stencilled: Grown
and packed by -, Niagara Co, n. Y. -
The grower of those apples had no rea-
son to be ashamed of them. On the con-
tIaIy he took pride in his product and
wanted all the world to know that he
raised and packed them. We We're not
surprised to learn from the dealer that
this brand OF apples commanded an extra
price in the market. L always try to

ways know just what they are, and taat
there Will be no loss on them, and that

growep and farmers in general Will
not learn the lesson of this mans prac-
tce? Most of them throw their apples
on the market and they sell as common
BaIlWIns, or whatever they may be- while
the man who grows fine apple and packs
them honestly gains a reputation, SO that
dealers only want to know the brand and
do not trouble TO open the barrel before
Offering an extra price. 1t is easy for
anyone to get a reputation for his pro-
ducts II he always grows good ones and
then never lets the package go without

veTtIse themselves and bring him more
money than poorly grown and dishonesty

The cotton producers OF the South have

Since the organization Of the Southern
Cotton Growers Association III 1900,
strong efforts have been put forward
each year by the members and officers
OF the association in each State. looking
to the adoption Of more systematic and
Dusiness-lke methods in selling the crop.
The rapldlty with which the great staple
crop OF the South has been rushed on the
market IN past years has been Iuinous to
the producers. An enormous oyersupply
has been created during a short period
Of time when no legitimate demand has
existed. In the early fall spinners have
been in the habit Of buying supplies to
last for 80 and so days only, after which
they retire from the market and the pro
ducers are then left IN the hands Of specu-
lators who continue to buy up the crop

manufacturers have WaXed rich The
stations tell the farmers oil the manurial
needs of various crops, and what every
crop needs to have added to the soil in
order to make q crop, until the farmers

say more about the use OF fertilizers in
the building up of the soil and It's per
manent increase in productiveness while
using less and less of the commercial
fertilizers. 1t is true that the various
crops need about the percentages OF
plant food that the stations have determ-
med, but 1t Is not true that the farm
er need buy the complete mixture for
every crop planted. The soil will never
be improved by merely adding annually
what each crop needs IN the shape of
a complete fertilizer. We need to put
greater stress, as Mr.. Terry does in a late
number, on the thorough preparation OF
the soil. Our soils have watsed more
through bad tillage than d lack Of plant
food in them. Most of the clay sons
especially, need good tillage more than
they need commercial fertilizers, and

leaving something from the wheat crop
to AID the clover. But the keynote OF
real farming IS to make crops at the
least cost while building up the produc-
hveneos OF the soil at the same time The
application OF fertilizers to every crop
grown may show an apparent profit but
IN the long run the condition Of the
soil Will tell of the extravaganza, and
the profit Will not be such as could be
had through a proper rotation and the
use OF only such tertillzing materials as
our soil may need, and which We can
not get without an artificial application.

proportion of phosphorc acid, nitrogen
and potash. But if We can get the nitro
gen by q good rotation with legumes,
why buy 1t, when we are at the same
time getting the most valuable OF stock
food in the getting of the nitrogen, and
are thus adding to the humuS- ma kan g
material on the farm in the manure. Why
should we, then, buy complete f ftlll-
ger merely to get a sale crop, when we
can get the nitrogen ana make a profit
IN getting it? Then when we find that
we can IN such a rotation get the use of
the potash that is plentiful in most of
our clay soils, throug-. the use Of an oc-
cGsIOnal dressing of lime why should we
buy potash? OF course. there are sandy
soils and black muck soils all over the
country which are deficient in potash,

KEEPING SWEET POTATOES.

a number OF readers have asked US
10 repeat the method of constructing q
building for the keeping of sweet pota-
toes, and the treatment they need for
their preservation IN winter. We gave the
following plans to a farmer in the lower
part OF South Carolina some years ago,
ana meeting him the following August
at a farmers gathering at Clemson Col
Iege, he said: THAT potato house has
been a wonderful success, and how, i'll
august. / have so many potatoes that
1 am feeding last years crop to pigs when
the new crop IS on hand" The principles
on whic> the keeping of sweet potatoes
depends are, first the digging of the po-
tatoes when the soil is comparatively dry,
and the handling OF them as carefully is
eggs. Never allow them to be thrown in
heaps and bruised, but let them lie along
the rows and get a good summing during
the day, for the sweet potato is benefited
ny the summing which Injuries the Irish

boxes and never dump them into

Is TO give high tempera ture for a few
