GEORGIA AND FLORIDA
FIGURING ON FIRST BALE.

Albany Daily Herald: Will Dough-
erty county get the first bale of new
crop cotton in Georgia this years? To
be sure! She always does. Years ago,
Primus Jones of Baker county was the
first-bale man of the South, and after
he passed away his mantle fell on the
shoulders of negro farmer of Dough-
erty. The latter has met all corners in
the race for the first bale during the
last several years, and has always won
out. Several days ago an Albany bus
mess man was in a neighboring city
where new warehouse is in process
of construction. The owner of the
building remarked to the Albanian that
he was anxious to have the warehouse
completed not later than July 10. I'm
bet you SO I'll have a bale of new
crop cotton before July 15,' he said to
the Albanian. The latter replied: II
will not bet you that. but 1 will wager
tenner that Dougherty will get a bale
of new cotton before one comes to your
market" Leave out Deal jackson,
and I'll go you" was the reply. Hard
ly,' said the Albanian. Deal Jackson
is the negro farmer who is now known
throughout Georgia as the first bale
man." He is working to maintain his
record this year. and unless all signs
fail, he will stick another feather in
his cap.

Sowing Sorghum.

To those who are not familiar with
the merits of sorghum we will say that
the crop yields abundantly if properly
put in and that the hay or fodder is
relished by all kinds of farm animals,
says a Western journal. The argu-
ment is sometimes made that where
one has an abundant supply of corn
fodder there is little need for putting
in crop like sorghum and, while to
certain extent this is true. yet there
is always some advantage in having a
variety of folders to feed during the
winter.
Sorghum is a Southern plant and
should not be sown until the soil is
warm. Generally speaking. it is just
as we'll to delay seeding until after the
corn crop is in. AS the seed is COM
paratively small it will always pay
to thoroughly prepare the ground. A
clover meadow plowed in the spring
and afterwards thoroughly worked
down with the disc and harrow makes
a most excellent seed bed for sorghum.
In case the soil is rich there is more
or less danger of lodging, but as sor-
ghum is a gross feeder the yield will
be about in proportion to the supply
or available fertility. Where the aim
IL 10 secure the greatest possible
weight per acre we believe it will gem
orally pay to add a little farm yard
manure unless the soil is naturally
very rich.
The crop may be put in in rows
about the same distance apart as corn
rows, in which. case the ordinary grain
drill is used and the seed sown very
thlckly in the row. AS the seed is small
II VIII require only a few quarts of
seed to sow an acre in the fashion.
When the crop is seeded in rows it is
usually cultivated much in the same
way as corn, and it may be harvested
WIN the ordinary corn binder. Posi-
Oily the greater ease in harvesting is
the best argument that can be given
Tor sowing the crop in rows, the dis
advantage of this method being that
the stems of the sorghum will not be
so small as if the seed is sown broad
cast and larger amount used Der

Where no drill is at hand we wouId
advise using at least eighty pounds of
seed per acre. and so much the better

The MaIteHe Cont.

1t is probable that in no other coun-
try has the raising Of fine mich goats
been brought to such a degree Of per-
lection as In the Island of Malta, says
George F. Thompson. in his book on
'1Milch Goats" The population of this
island is about 200 900, and the people
there rely almost wholly upon the goat.
The number of goats there is estimated
as high as 10000. They wander about
in small focks. They feed on scraps
of all kinds, such as they can pick up
in the streets. 1t is not strange that
this method of subsistence gives TO
the milk a strong, unpleasant flavor.
There are no regular grazing fields
for goats, but every morning the f1ocks
are driven out along the roads and I'M
inclosed plots along the sides of the
hills, where they pick up whatever
they can find in the way of weeds, bue
there is seldom any sort of grass. At
home they are fed carol beans and
chick peas. The Maltese goats are
about feet 6 inches in hight and will
often weigh 100 pounds. They are usual
ly hornless, and those that grow horns
are generally dehorned.

PELL SUED For DIVORCE.

Duncan c. Pell, society and club man,
who, with his second wife, formerly
Helene Louise Gardner. is enjoying a
honeymoon trip in Europe, has been
sued for divorce by his first wife, Mrs
Anna Ogden Pell. She alleges that a
divorce obtained against her in Flor
ida is invalid in the courts of the state
of New York. Mrs. Anna Ogden PelPs
attorneys, upon the ground that Mr.
PelPs divorce was invalid and that he
is still the lawful husband of their
client, have begun proceedings against
him for a divorce. naming the second
wife as a correspondent. They obtain
ed from Justice Bischoff, of the Su-
preme Court of New York an order for
the service of the summons on Mr..
Pell by mailing it to his last known
residence in this country, Orlando,
Fla, where he and his second bride
spent the winter months.

Sorghum as stock Feed.

To the Farmers Review.-In your
paper of March IS appears an article
on poisoning of cattle by sorghum.
While 1 have read much about poison
ing by feeding sorghum, have never
yet seen a case of it. I have raised
sorghum on my place for several years
and fed it to dairy cows in a green
state and also cured and have never
had any bad results from it, but found
it a splendid feed in every particular
1 also practiced cutting and feeding
second crop. 1 consider it produces
more feed per acre than any annual
crop grown. l always sow on clean
ground. that is. ground fairly clear of
weeds, sow broadcast about one bush
ell per acre and have never failed to
get two crops.-J. S. Smith.

All soils capable of producing crops
contain all the soda and chlorine that
ordinary plants require, so that salt
cannot be considered a true or direct
fertilizer Il belongs to the class Of
substances which benefit the crops by
the work they do in the soil rather
than by directly supplying plant food.
Several years ago we used to hear d
great deal as to the favorable results
obtained by the use of salt on grass
and grain crops. Nowadays we sell
dom hear of them. One reason for
this is that the potash salts-kainit
and muriate-now largely used, con-
tain a considerable amount of salt; as
they also supply potash they are more
economical than salt. On very rich
land, where grain crops frequently
lodge" or fall down, salt frequently
prevents this trouble, giving a shorter
and harder stem, delaying the ripen-
ing for a time.
1t was first thought that the salt
set free certain minerals in the soil.
like silica and potash, which thus gave
a harder and sitter straw To some
extent this is probably true, but the
chief effect of the salt now appears to
be the retarding or checking of the
nitrificatBon processes. We know well
from observation the tendency of
plants when grown in a very rich soil
is to make a very rapid and tender
growth. When we speak of a rich soil
we refer to one containing a large
quantity of soluble nitrogen. Salt de-
lays the formation of this soluble form
of nitrogen, so that the plant will
make a slower, but more uniform and
solid growth. Salt also retards the
formation of starch and TINS has
bad influence on the flavor of fruits.
For this reason it is likely to make
watery potatoes. Some plants, like
asparagus, can utilize far more salt
than others. Salt attracts and absorbs
moisture.
