Planting Additional Cotton.

Reports to Dunn's commercial agen-

acreage of cotton is being planted in
many states, the gain ranging frcm 20
to 30 yer cent. This is good news. Al
the present high prices there is large
profit in raising that staple. The gov

Precaution Against Disease

That which causes more outbreaks Of
disease among flocks than anything
else is the bringing on the farm Of
fowls from other farms or places. Tho
farmer or poultryman orders a pure.
bred male, or purchases ito, and
when they arrive there may appear
no sign Of disease; but such fowls may
have been exposed to disease at some
time, and bring 1t on their feet or In
some other manner. Pigeons which
fly from farm to farm may also carry
disease. 1t is therefore incumbent
upon the farmer to be careful from
whom he procures new blood" to be
year, for it is difficult to detect disease
without close examination, which is
something that is seldom done by those
who procure fowls from elsewhere to
add to the flock. Nor should the
vigilance be confined to he'individual
birds are members should be carefully
looked after as disease in the flock of
some neighbor may be carried to other
places by apparently healthy birds
taken from such flock. Roup Is often
present in an incipient stage in a flock,
and makes its appearance under the
first favorable circumstances. Farm
ers should never buy hen from an
other flock without careful inspection

ever, may, and probably will, turn out

better equipped to night the insect than
1t was year ago. There is some hope.
in fact. that methods are now being
advised which will finally extirpate it..
The south, the United States and the
world needs q much larger cotton crcp
for 1904 than 1t had in 1903, and larger
than 1t had in any year thus far. The
worlds demand is growing much faster
than is the supply. True, the amount Of
cotton produced outside Of the United
States is much greater now than it
ever has been before. and the tendercy
will be toward further and further
increase. But there is not The slightest
reason to fear that production will be
overdue. The demands Of the Ameri-
csn mills, at time not very far dis
tant, are likely to absorb the whole Of
the present American yield. A 1c.0u0.-
900 or 13,000,OO0 bale crop in the Unit
ell States in 1904 would enrich the
south, end the embargo in the mills,

The idea among farmers here is to
raise an unusually large crop of cot
ton this year, and if this idea is adopt
ed by all Of the cotton growers of the
south we may again expect case Of
oveIproduction, and general tum-
bling down of prices next fall. Ten
million bales at Is cents per pound
will be worth more to the country than
15,0G0,O00 bales at ten cents per pound.
Less land, less labor, fewer teams, less
feed and fewer farming implements
and less time would be required to
produce 100000 bales, and that num-
ber of bales would be eagerly taken by
the markets of the world at remunera-
tive prices for its production. In fact.
100000 bales would bring the coun-
try more money than would a large
crop that would glut the markets and
paralyze prices. For good prices grow
less cotton and plant enlarged food
crops, and raise hogs and good mules.

human nature; it will steal from its
neighbor, and in vegetable life we
must give back to the tree that which
has been taken from it. Lack of moist
r,re may prevent bearing the following

is to perfect its fruit and prepare for
next years crop. A continuous moist
ure supply is necessary to maintain
activity in the tree. as it will make a
large draft upon soil moisture, while
