ONLY A REPORTER.

Our Horticultural Editor, Mr.. Mehan,
has struck one of those wise horticultur-
lists who write for the daily press He
says, in the Florists Exchange, that the
Philadelphia Public Ledger in giving an
account of he planting Of two trees by
the President and his wife in the White
House grounds on Washington's Birthday,
said that the President and his family
planted in a pot seeds of Xanthoceras
Sorbifolia, the only plant OF which in this
country is in the propagating garden in
Washington" Mr.. Mehan very properly
says that the Washington folks must
wake up. for there are plenty of this
shrub in this country, and big one in
Paramount Park close to the Horticultu-
raj Hall. The Ledger will do well to send
reporter out there when it is in bloom,
for it is heally a handsome and desirable
shrub We have had it for fourteen years,
and bought it from the late John Saul
of Washington, who had an abundance
of it in his nursery on the Seventh Street
Road in Washington, and the "Plopaga-
ting Garden" probably got it from there.
It seeds freely, and will also grow from
root cuttings. 1t is a pity that some of
the daily newspapers cannot have report
ers who know something about plants and
trees.

out of an orchard of one hundred acres
winch the Bermuda grass had killed.
Now, they must have different Bermuda
grass in California from that grown in
the East, for if there is one place where
Bermuda grass cannot be made to grow
it is under trees. We think there is some
mistake about the Bermuda killing these
trees. 1t was more probably the drought.
We would like to say to our California
friends who want to kill Bermuda that
it is easily done by shading crops, for
this grass will not grow in the shade at
all Any smothering crop like COW peas
will soon destroy it. But where one
needs a permanent pasture there is none
better than the Bermuda of the true

NORTHERN FARMERS SOUTH.


One of the greatest and most common
errors made by Northern farmers in NOV
ing to the South is their general disincli-
nation to engage in cotton culture. The
great majority want to engage in fruit
culture or trucking, or in live stock hus-
bandry. They have imbibed a notion that
it is cotton that has depleted the fertility
OF the older cultivated lands of the South.
when in fact there is no crop grown that
draws so lightly on the soil as cotton. IL
the mealfr0mthe seed is returned to the
land. for the lint is almost entirely made
through the assimilation of carbon from
the air, and only an infinlteslmal part
comes from the soil. There is today, and
for the future, bright prospect for
financial success in good farming wItn
cotton as a money crop, brighter than
that of any farm crop grown anywhere in
the United States. No crop fits IN better
with an improving rotation with
corn. winter oats or wheat. and cow peas
as the soil improver and forage crop, and
in no part of the country can stock OF
all kinds be more cheaply fed than IN the
cotton country or tend more rapidly to
the improved productiveness OF the land.
The old notion that cotton cannot be
grown by white labor has disappeared,
for the white man who cultlvates his own
crop is everywhere beating the negro.
One farmer down in Johnson Co, N. C.,
who is farming his land In an improving
rotation, made, in the past season of
poor crops. over 80 bales of Gotten on
field of 60 acres, and is still holding it,
though he has been offered $4,000 for the
crop, to say nothing of the seed For the
man who will farm right and make at
least a bale per acre, cotton growing is
a very attractive pursuit even at much
lower prices than are received at present

FARM WORK.

The time will soon be here when many
farmers will think that they must make
up for the short winter days by working
themselves and their hands as many hours
daily as practicable. And they will be
complaining that they have no time to
read the paper or for anything else but
to snatch a few hours sleep between the
long DAYS.
But this is a short-sighted policy. The
man who makes fourteen-hour dav is
in no physical or mental condition to be-
gin the next day, and every day he con-
tinues such long hours the more he be-
comes lncapacitated for his best work
with head or hands. We have proved to
our own satisfaction that hired men will
accomplish more during the season with
a ten-hour day than with twelve or
fourteen-hour one. Men are willing to
work harder and faster and are in con-
dition to do it if ten hours is the rule.
When hired men are expected to be up
and feed and clean teams and get to work
by the time the sun is up, and keep at
it till the sun goes down. and after dark
getting through the stable work, they
will naturally and necessarily let up in
their efforts and take their time. for the
long hours with no recreation time Will
take the enthusiasm out Of any man.
Men who work are to work at 6 a. m. in
hot weather should have two hours at
noon and slap AT 8 p. M, and will be
all the better able to do good work the
next day, and the boss will have some time
with his family and time to read the pa
pers and to keep abreast with all that is
going on. Try it during the coming season
and you will never go back to the cid
plan. You will also probably find it pos
sibe to bet a better and more reliable
class of farm labor Good hands gravi-
tate to good and humane conditions.

FERTILIZER PEOPLE RETICENT.
With a view of securing these market
rerorts from the best posted authorities.
recently, while in Atlanta, called on the
manager of one of the larges fertilizer
companies doing business in the South. I
stated my object and asked the co-opera-
tion of this company in furnishing regu-
lar weekly quotations on the prices Of
fertilizers and fertilizer materials as sold
by manufacturers to dealers in car load
lots.
In other words, l asked for quotations
on acid phosphate, muriate of potash.
xainit dried blood, nitrate of soda, tank
age, cotton seed meal and bore meal in
zen ton lots delivered free on board cars
1t Atlanta, or Savannah. at prices made
by the manufacturer to dealers. l also
asked for the same quotations on the S-2-2
STANDARD and 1922 High Grade" gu
mos sold on tie same basis.
The gentleman with whom I discussed
the matter and who is perfectly capable
Of giving the information, did not take
kindly to the proposition or the object
had in view. He stated that to furnish
these quotations in the market reports
Of the Semi Weekly Journal would give
farmers the prices at which their supply
merchants or local dealers secured their
guanos and might interfere with prices
now charged to farmers by these middle
men.
He further stated that the manufacture
ers did not deal directly with farmers,
but through local dealers and that fur
nishing the information l desired, might
make trouble between the manufacturers
and their local dealers. He said that
manufacturers did not know at what
price these fertilizers or fertilizer mate
rails were being charged to farmers by
local dealers and doubted the wisdom Of
giving the information wanted.
