The Lower Price OF Cotton.

1U6 IOWTE ITIC6 VI CUItOus
For several days the price Of cotton has
been going down.
From reports which We see in the newspa.
pers, the price must have gone down some
i've or six cents within the last week.
The fiuctuation In the price has ruined the
estates Of many, and thousands OF specula.
tors have been more or less hurt.
But before the break came. an innumerable
multitude were benefited and now rejoice In
the possession of we'll filled purses. or it may
be that they feel good at their ability to pay
of debts which bore them down in spirits.
And then 1t is presumed that the creditors
OF those who held claims against the sellers
Of cotton are hugging themselves on account
Of their good luck.

Money in Goat Raising.

John Il. Pharr, Of Charlotte. was
raised on farm, and the happiest
days of his life now are those that he
spends at his plantation, which is
about six miles northeast of the city,
on the Concord road. Mr.. Pharr's
farm contains about $50 acres, the
greater part of which is in high
state of cultivation. On the entire
farm there is not an acre of cotton,
and Mr.. Pharr does not regret that he
has planted no cotton, even with the
staple selling at twelve and a half
cents per pound. His hobby is stock
raising, or, rather, his common sense
and his choice led him to raise stock
and vegetables. What Mr.. Pharr takes
the greatest pride in is a flock of goats,
about thirty -five of the animals. Lamb
sells on the local market for about
four cents a pound on foot; that is,
the market men pay that price to the
farmers. Mr.. Pharr has been offered
six cents pound for kid, but refused
the offer.
There is only one other flock of goats
in the county as large as that of Mr..
Pharr, and that belongs to Mr.. w. 5.
Clanton, formerly United States AS
sayer in the city. Goats are three
times as hardy as sheep. They eat no
more. take to fattening easily and will
eat almost anything. Little care is
required for them from their birth,
and they mature about as early as
sheep. On the other hand, sheep re-
Quire constant care from birth, are
are very delicate. According to Mr..
Pharr, there is more money in raising
goats than any other stock or in cot
ton growing.
Mr.. Pharr also has a fine flock OF
cattle, other stock, and one of the fin
est orchards in the ty.-Charlotte

DIGEST Of Labor Decisions.

(By Chancellor Pitney of New Jersey
F'irst-That all sorts of laborers
may lawfully combine and form I'M
ions for their mutual benefit, and that
they may use all lawful means to pro-
mote their own interests, being care
full in so doing not to infringe on the
rights Of others,
Second-One lawful means to that
end is the refusal to work on terms
offered by the employer.
Third-An unlawful means is to him
der or prevent others from working
for an employer under such terms as
they shall see fit.
Fourth-One means of such hinder
ing and preventing is in various
ways to render it either difficult or
uncomfortable for such willing work
men so to work This is an unlawful
means.
Fifth-Another unlawful means in
common use to hinder or prevent will
ing employees form working and to
compel employers to accede to terms
which they would not otherwise adopt
is a boycott in its various forms.

IYhnt an Aero WIN Do.

In cattle production an acre OF lanu
in the middle South in Bermuda grass
will probably carry one animal for
about seven months; an acre OF blue
grass in the North will do this. Land
i'll the South is much cheaper than in
the North. and hence taxes and the
necessary investments are less. The
Southern farmer on his acre of land
can produce two crops year if need
be. A cereal crop, for example, for
grain production; this may be barley,
oats or rye, to be followed the same
year by cowpeas or soy beans for nay
or grain. For this crop he can obtain
possibly twenty or twenty five bushels
OF grain and two or more tons Of hay
quite as rich and valuable as alfalfa.
He may follow his cereal crop with
sorghum and cowpeas or corn and peas
for silage with the expectation OF get
ting ten to twelve tons Of the latter
per acre. If he chooses he may have
q pasture Of rye through a part OF the
winter and early spring after the Ber-
muda grass is gone. He can also have
q succession of forage crops laid down
as pastures through about seven
months Of the year, provided he has
not Bermuda grass and cannot have
tie tame grasses. BY coupling Texas
blue grass with Bermuda he can have
a permanent pasture through practi-
cally all the year The great draw
back to this plant, of course, is the
Texas blue grass roots, but the South
ern farmer who is patient and indus
trious, can start with a few Of these
which he can afford to purchase, and in
a short time establish quite a large
area of this pasture. Bermuda grass,
for pasture, will grow on almost any
type of soil, and can be easily and
cheaply established; more so probably
than blue grass.
OF course Southern soils, in order to
get the results indicated above, must
b. we'll treated, but no more so than in
Illinois or Indiana. They will also re-
spond to good treatment as quickly
and as surely as soils in those States

Value of Cotton Seed.

With regard to the item Of grain for
cattle feeding, the South has many
distinct advantages. There is cotton-
seed meal, for example, the greatest
concentrate known, which can be pro-
cured for $50 to $50 ton. For fertili-
ger alone it is worth that much, and
hence when fed to beef cattle the
farmer gets two profits from it. The
SOY beans. already referred to when
yielding twenty-five bushels per acre
give practically the protein equivalent
of eighty to 100 bushels of corn per
acre. AS they come as second crop
this gives the farmer a distinct advan-
tage in the matter of protein produc-
ton for the early growth and develop
ment Of beef cattle on an economic bas"
sis.-Progressive Farmer.

To Destroy Nut Grass.

lance is the only thing that will de-
stroy nut grass. By your consent L

ton. Give the land clean cultiva-
ton for thr.e years in succession in
cotton; the last blowing should be
in August. The best pillow to use is
what we call here gopher pillow. Have
it sharp SO that it will cut it clean
every time Plow as often as posi-
ble If the farmer should prefer to
change the crop the fourth year, sow
it down in oats in the fall and then
follow with peas, two bushels per
acre; then back in cotton. He should
have as much cotton weed as posi-

WeIlinuton's Courtesy.

A strong light is thrown on the es-

by the incident of the broken bell.
When he pulled it several times and
no footman appeared until after great
delay, he "stormed with very strong
language" at the man for neglect of
duty, whereupon the duke said: Eyes,

little girl who was present he added:
Always own when you are in the
wrong" This is almost a test quail
ity in life. 1t is rarely found without
other great moral virtues and intel
lectual strength. II helps us to I'M
derstand the man who faced Napo-
Icons strategy with invisible cool
ness, and hung on until Butcher came

Lack of Hunus.

There are thousands of acres in the
South which. when first cleared, were
in an unproductive condition, by rea-
son of a lack of humus The red clay
uplands of the South have naturally
less humus than similar lands in the
North, for in our open woodlands the
leaves are blown away to the hollowS
and bottoms in winter, while in the
North they are packed down by snow
and held to rot where they fell, and
thus a larger amount Of humus or veg
etable decay is found there. But when
these are stored with humrs-making
matter they rapidly increase in pro-
ductiveness because of their improved
mechanical condition. l once re-
marked to q friend. a GOOD farmer in

The North Carolina Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station has issued a special
bulletin (No. 1881 on THE Granville
Tobacco witt the destructive dis
ease which played such havoc in
Granville last summer The authors
are Professors +. l.. Stevens and ".
G. Sackett. All interested tobacco
growers should obtain and read the
bulletin in full. but for the benefit Of
the general public we reprint here
the general conclusions of Messrs.
Stevens and Sackett:
"Ihe tobacco wilt is a very serious
enemy which not only Injuries the
crop, but also depreciates the value
Of the land Effected, inasmuch as it
prohibits the growing Of tobacco in
the affected soils.
"It is a contagious disease spread
ing largely through infected soil.
"There is little hope of restoring
land that is once affected. The ut
most care should be taken therefore
to prevent the spreading Of the germ
by means of infected tools or by any
means.
"The number of germs should be
diminished by cleaning up old fields
and by burning all diseased plants in
slightly affected fields as soon as they
are discovered.
THE greatest hope for the redemp-
ton Of land now affected lies in the de-
vel0nment of q variety of tobacco that
can resist the disease"

Danger of Untried Crops.

1t is dangerous for farmers to
leave off the old staple crops and
plant some untried crops when they
are not familiar with their manage
ment. Nearly every one who tries it
will get left. A farmer we know of
who had been planting cotton all his
life and had been able to make both
ends meet was Gllured by the high
price Of tobacco to abandon cotton and
plant tobacco. When his crop vas
sold he received just three-fourths
enough to pay for the fertilizer used
on the crop. All of his work, build
ing barn, cultivating crop, etc, all
gone.-Progressive Farmer.
The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1904-03-25
What to Plant.

If we were asked about what to
plant next season we would give it as
our opinion that every farmer should
be sure and raise enough corn and
meat to supply the farm and make all
the cotton possible, as the price of cot
ton is likely to be on paying basis for
at least year to come; in fact, with
the labor conditions that now confront
us, we don't see how the South is to
increase the cotton crop to meet the
increasing demand for cotton goods
