HOW TO PROSPER.
n Wise dRd Practical
Suggestion to Farmers.

Mr.. Editor. Our farmers need
more than temporary relief
from an overproduction of cotton.
Short lived will be the good
evolved out of the contention that
paying prices for cotton can be
realized by simply reducing the
size of the next crop. A system
to be permanently helpful must
be protected Indefinitely into flu
ture years. May not a remines-
cent investigation of the ante
bellum system Of farming aid in
solving the cotton problem, now
sorely perplexing the Southern
farmers. The planting interest
in those good old ancestral days
before the spirit Of commercial
ism tempted the farmers to in
vest money in western barns,
cribs, AMI meat houses, was self
sustaining. Then the best land
and enough of it, was devoted to
cereal crops to make a sufficiency
during an ordinary crop year to
meet the needs of the farm.
The cotton was an incidental
crop, and therefore a lucrative
one, however low it's market val
ue. That would now be the re-
suit were our farmers to readopt
that antiquated method of farm
ing. Make the farm absolutely
self-sustaining, independent OF
the cotton crop. Let it be the

plants if they had been in a
thrifty growing condition and

slight frost, to avoid the danger
OF losing your plants you want to
buy them while they are dormant,
the sooner you do this after De-
cember 18th the better.
If you have it, select a piece of
dark, mediumly low, well drained
land, break it up as thoroughly
as you can, then pulverize well
with a good clod breaker or har-
row, lay off your rows east and
west, 30 inches apart, with a
oull-tongued plow. Make up
your bed, by throwing tyto fur
rows together with a single horse
turn plow. Take your plants and
set them 20 inches Spart on the
south side of the bed, farenough
down, that the top of the bed
will be above the plant, this is
done to keep the north and north
west winds from twisting and
breaking the small plants. Be
sure to set the plants well down
in the soil, and see that the en-
tire stem up to the first leaves is
in the ground. The earth should
be well packed around The plant,
itshOuld be packed so firm, that
# you take yQer plant by the
leaf and pull &tha q caves worEss
break off before tNe plant wouias
pull out. It is understood that
you have used plants that are in
a dormant condition. These
plants should not be fertilized at
all, until about two weeks before
the regular spring weather opens
up. The top of the plants will
not grow during the winter, but
the roots will be growing all of
the time. About the middle or
last of February-or say two
weeks before your regular spring
weather starts, take a turn plow,
or half shovel, and throw a fur
row away from the plants in
each alternate row, run the fur
row close to the plant, sow in
this furrow fertilizer at the rate
of l 900 pounds to the acre, this
fertilizer should 'tanalyze 8 per
cent phosporic acid, 7per cent
ammonia, and 5 per cent potash.
After you have put down the
fertilizer, throw the furrow back,
with the same plow. being sure
to work the dirt well up around
the plant. About two weeks
after this fertilizing, go into the
furrow that was not worked be-
fore and do the same thing, then
keep the alleys we'll cultivated,
using for this purpose cult
vator or diamond toothed har-
row. You want to keep the land
from this time on, we'll cultivated
and as we'll open as possible, so
that the sun and air can get in
and warm up the soil. The cab
bage roots that have been grow
ing all winter are now strong and
will take up the fertilizer rapidly,
and the plants will grow much
faster, and make you a head of
cabbage two to three weeks
sooner than if you had set the
plants in February or March.
This article applies to the grow
ing of cabbage in Virginia, North
AID South Carolina, Georgia and
all of the Gulf States. Do not
forget that the success or fail
ure of the whole crop depends on
your getting good plants from
reliable seed. For this reason
you should buy your plants from
a responsible grower who has
been in the business a long time
and has an established reputa-
tion. Yours very truly,

OFFICIALS ON GATHERS SUIT
One Deprecates Possibility of LeRv-

Power.


The action of John T. Gathers I'm enJoin-
ing the consolidation of the Offices Of the
city and county treasurers has been re-
ceived at the city hall with evident salts
faction from all quarters, because the suit
has been filed in time TO secure decision
from the supreme court by the first Of the
year, and the legal department, which VIII
look after the charter, will endeavor to
bring about an early decision.
City Treasurer Hennings expressed sur
prise that the suit had been filed, though
expecting It for some time.
City Tax Commissioner Fleming was
equally Indifferent as to results insofar as
he personally is concerned
Assistant City Attorney Herdman ex-
pressed satisfaction that the matter was to
get into the courts and be settled. Il have
no doubt but what the charter will be held
good" he said.
Gathers has been posing as a reformer
and as such he should be found defending
the consolidation sections of the charter,
as undoubtedly the consolidation saves
money to the tax payers"
"The most vital question at stake" said
local Office holder. ''is the legality Of
the assessment for city purposes by the
county board which il held to be illegal

WoMAN'S CLUB NEW PROBLEM
Enforcement OF Law GovernIRE EN-
pIOyment of Women and Chill
dren Receives Attention.

A new problem has confronted the local
club women in their effort to secure the
enforcement of the Nebraska law governing
the labor of women and children and that
is what constitutes conspicuous posting"
The law provides that copies of this law
shall be posted I'm conspicuous places wher-
ever women and children arc employed.
Tuesday afternoon little party OF club
women made the round of the department
stores to see to what extent this provision
was complied with, and while they found
the placards posted in places that certainly
would be counted conspicuous, they found
also that. in the majority of places, the
cards had been draped over with some par
ticularly attractive bargain or concealed
behind something else calculated to attract
the attention of the shopper. Regarding
their excursion one OF the women said
we simply made this investigation with
a view of ascertaining for ourselves to what
extent this part of the law is enforced. OF
course we are prompted by something more
than curiosity; we mean to inform our
selves, and IL it becomes necessary we VIII
be ready to make use of our information
At this time Of year when the Christmas
sales necessitate the hiring of additional
help, there is most danger of the law being
NlOldleu, anu where ~ custom becomes e6-
tablished in store 1t is much more diffi-
cult to correct it.
AT present the department store pro-
prietors are doing very well in not working
their women employees overtime. nor em-
ploying children under age, but II has been
less than a month since one proprietor, re-
fusing to comply with the law, was taken
before a magistrate and severely repri-
| manded and promised the full penalty for
| future violations. This proved a valuable
| lesson to more than one employer of women
and children. II is not the desire of the
women to stir up any agitation in this
matter. and for that reason we kept this
incident from the papers when IL happened
We believe the majority of business men
will be willing to comply with the law, es-
pecially II their attention is called to cases
where 1t has been overlooked. The matter
of the posting of placards probably will bt
called to the attention OF the proprietorr
of the stores, though the women insisted
their investigation was purely informal and
prompted by personal interest only.
