FERTILIZERS for Cotton.

Messrs. Editors: I don't think it will be hard to
organize the farmers of Sampson to hold cotton
and to reduce acreage one-third. / hope we
haven't a farmer In our county that will kick
against the action of the New Orleans Conven-
ton, and through your paper I hope they may be
able to learn of this. ] think that If the farmers
would get in their minds the idea of raising stock
and forage, they would improve their farms quick
er. And taking their cotton seed and exchanging
them for meal, and feeding stock with it, and
keeping manure sheltered, they would find that
their seed would pay better that way than to put
them out raw. I have sold my seed for two years
and think / made money by doing SO. But, Mr..
Farmer, I change my land every year. Where I
put cotton / drill all of my stable manure under
my cotton every year. Then I take 200 pounds
of meal or guano and put to acres for corn, and
gives the corn a quick start. I don't think that
I could sell seed at the present prices. But as
they sold in 1902 and 1903, we got 80 cents per
bushel, and I canont get that out of them. If
there is any reader of this paper that had ex-
perience of exchanging his cotton seed. I would
like to hear from him through your paper.

New Disease of the Peanut.
Sampson Co., N. G.

According to a. communication of Mr.. A. Ka-
rosek to the journal Gartenfora, a new disease
of the peanut plant has shown itself in German
East Africa. The peanut belongs to the most
important cultivated plants there, and has been
so far especially recommended on account of it's
relative freedom from disease. It mainly suffers
from a fungus which causes reddish-brown spots
upon the plants, which afterwards change to
black. The disease occurs wherever peanuts grow,
but does not kill the plant elsewhere. The new
disease observed by Mr.. Karosek in the vicinity of
Tanga, and which is also said to exist at Lindi,
results in a rapid dying out of the plant. It
shows itself in a retarded growth of the leaves,
flowers, and fruit; and the leaves, in addition,
show irregular white spots, which ultimately
change to brown and black. The cause is yet I'M
known. The fungus which may be responsible has
not yet been found, neither on the roots nor on
the diseased leaves or flowers. It is possible that
the disease, like the mosaic disease of the tobac-
co plant, which it resembles, is due to bacteria.
The peanut plant has still another enemy in a root
louise, concerning which no close research has yet
bee made.-Richard Guenther, Consult General,
Frankfort. Germany, in Consular Report, Febru-
airy 6, 1905.

The tenth part that could be said in favor OF
the level terracing system has not been said. As
1 said in a former article, there are three things
that will make your farm rich:
= "a The level terracing.
CD Deep blowing.
(3) Abundance of humus in the soil.
Do these three things successfully on your
whole farm, or one field at least. and in three
years it will more than double the yield.

The Garden Hoe.

The wheel-hoe is the most important garden
tool invented within a century; at least, one gar
dener thinks so-a busy housekeeper, who has un-
dertaken the entire care of the garden as a
means of health and pleasure, says a writer in
The Garden Magazine. What can it do? Al
most everything that hands, hoes and rakes can
accomplish, and does it better and faster. Ny
wheelhoe has one small wheel and four kinds Of
ttachmentsErakes scrapers, cultivators and
plow. Think of the difference between that and
taking a stroll between your rows of vegetables,
pushing that light-bult, easy-running gem of a
tool-the wheel-hoei The only time mine has
been really had to work was when I tried to pillow
too deep, or run it uphill or turn tough soil; al
though this work was hard to do, it would have.
been impossible with any other hand-tool.

Parents are almost wholly respon-
slble for the progress, indifference
or retrogression of their children in
studies at school. The leading ed
ucators and the most thoughtful men
and women all agree that if parents
value their child's education they
should interest themselves in his
studies at school. Encourage him.
Never say anything but good about
the teachers or the school, at least
not in the presence of the child. If
you think the teacher is wrong, for
the sake of your child's education
try to let it pass, but if you can't, in
all kindness have a talk with the
teacher out of school hours. Let
US all work together for the success
of our schools.-Ex.

Owing to lack of time before the
Dodge meeting the report of the
county association was not sent to
the publisher last week.
We had very interesting meet
ing. All who were on the program
had made careful preparation and
were listened to with great interest,
AS we were late in beginning Mrs.
Backe asked that her class exercises
be postponed. We will have this at
our next meeting.
The recitations given by the school
children from the different schools
were much appreciated.
Ex-State Supt. Winans addressed
tbs teachers after the general pro-
gram. Mr.. Winans is a very able
talker, his address was very practical
and to the point. He asked and an
swered the vital questions of teach
ers, the things which we need every
day In our school work. 1t is great
ly to be regretted that every teacher
in the county could not have heard
Mr.. Winans. We were pleased to
see quite number of school boards
and patrons prerent.
In the evening the defamation
contest was held. Those reciting
were Naomi Read, Mabel Potter,
Nellie Thompson, Bernice Dahmer.
Maude Pinnick, Chas. Reay, and
Orpha Lyons. All of the contest
ants did splendidly and deserve
great praise. The judges Mrs. Chas.
MeCrellis, Rev. Ross, and Mr..
Jones decided in favor of Miss Or
pha Lyons, who represented Meade
county at the Dodge contest where
she gave the people of Meade just
cause to be proud of Meade county
declaimers. We wish to thank the
people of Meade and vicinity for
the interest they took in this contest
and. it may be further said that the
people of this county are always in
terested in things which have an ed
ucational value.
Our county was well represented
at Dodge during the meeting of the
Southwestern Kansas Teachers As
socirtion, there being eleven teach
ersl from this county. Meade was
pfoportionaliy the best represented
county belonging to the association.
Those from here were J. H. Beach,
E. B. Reay, Mrs. Backe, Ethel
Black, Gertrude Boyer, Hannah
Barragree, Martha Butler, Lydia
Barger, Ethel Boyer, Pearl Fuller,
and Ruth Bennett.
Everyone felt well paid for going
and better equipped for work.
Mr.. Beach read a paper "Shall
we encourage Football and Base
ball teams in our schools2" which
created much favorable comment.
Mrs. Backe also read an able paper
on "The Opportunity of the Primary
Teacher"
Among the things of especial in
terest was the dramatic recital from
Stephen Phillips "Ulysses" by Prof,
S. H. Clark, of Chicago University
which was great treat to all.
Prof. JOS. H. Hill, of Emporia,
gave an address on "The Public
School and Citizenship" which was
as are all of Prof. Eill's addresses,
an uplifting influence.
Prof. J, H. Shepardson, of Pitts
burg, gave a short address and ex-
hibited the class of work done in
the manuel training school there.
Mrs. Cora G. Lewis, of Kinsley,
gave an excellent address on "Some
things that makes good citizenship"
Mrs. Lewis IS an interesting speaker
and sets one to thinking.
The next county teachers asso-
citation will be held Dec. 23. The
lesson will be chapters 7, 8, and 9.
Mrs. Backe will lead the meeting.

One Man to Get It All.

At Economy, Beaver county, Pa, the world may learn what becomes of the millions which fasting enthusiasts amass. After much litigation the wealth of the Harmony Cooperative Society-commonly called the 'Econo- mite Socety"--has passed practically into the hands of one man. John Duss, the bandmaster. This wealth is admit ted by Duss to be $5,000000. By others it is placed as high as $2O,OOO,- GOO or even $30,OO0OOO.
 The "Economites" under the leader ship of George Rapp, settled in Beaver county about seventy years ago. They believed that Rapp had divine attrib- utes and that when they died they would all ascend into heaven in body with him. In this expectation they agreed to remain ceibates and this rule re- mained in force after Rapp's death had undeceived them. These "monks and nuns" by frugality and industry gain- ed possession of large tract of fertile farming land on which they employed fifty laborers. Their property has al ways been in the hands of their lead CTS. Honesty and conscience" have been the only safeguards they have had against being robbed.
 As the wealth of the society has in- creased the number of it's members has decreased. Ten years ago there were alive thirty. To-day, perhaps, death has still further decimated their ranks. The aged survivors now see at their head worldly man, who not only has disregarded the rule requir- ing celibacy, but goes about the coun- try directing a band and managing plays. The seventy years of toll and fasting of an entire community have been for this!-Public Opinion.

A Victory for Diplomacy


 Mrs. Patrick Campbell, at lunch- con in Philadelphia, said, apropos of diplomacy:
 T have a diplomatic friend. She lives in New York in an apartment house near Central Park. In the apart ment adjoining it there is piano, and morning, noon and night this piano used to rattle and chatter away.
 But it is played more softly and more rarely now My friends diplo- macy brought this improvement about.
 "She made the acquaintance of the piano player and found her to be a woman of 30, with daughter of 6 or z years. She waited for perhaps a week and then, after she had gotten on quite friendly terms with the wom- an, she said one day to her, in her sweetest voice:
 "'Your little one plays remarkably well for her age. l hear her practic- Ing every day"
