stitution, are as essential to sue
cessful farming as to any other
occupation or profession. This
fact has been firmly established
by the course OF Charles W. Heard
q prominent farmer OF Wilkes
county. His foresight led him two
years ago, to adopt practically the
same programme as that outlined
by the Southern Cotton AssOcia-
ton. Subsequent events have
vindicated his wisdom and he car
afford to snap his fingers at a
stubbornly bearish cotton market.
The story of Mr.. Heard, as re-
lated in the Constitution a few
days ago, should certainly elicit
the thoughtful interest of planters
similarly ciicumstanced who find
themselves facing decidedly diff
cult problems. When he came to
the conclusion that the a~ll.cottoD
policy was founded on folly, he
made up his mind to reduce his
cotton acreage 80 per cent-AND
DID 1T. The outcome of his
shrewd methods is shown in the
following eloquent summary;
On 10 acres of bottom land he
raised 475 bushels of corn, 1000
pounds of fodder and 1900 pounds
Of shucks. The total cost of pro
ducing this crop was according to
his itemized account, $1,000. The
fodder be sold at 70 cents per hun
dred pounds, which netted him
$3.50; the shucks brought, at 90
cents per hundred, $23.0O,
making $3.50 which he received
for the fodder and shueks, which
was only 81 less than the cost o.
producing the entire crop, fodder
and shucks.
On a three horse farm Mr.. Heard
raised twenty-five bales of cotton.
which he disposed of when tbs
price ranged around the 10-cen.
mark. His cotton crop being
surplus crop, he added the pro
ceeds therefrOm to his bank &C
count. With no corn to buy TO

ONION GROWING.
Some Practical Comments on Rais- ing the Profitable Veg
 etable.

I was passing along road near when my attention was directed to a low, black field where some people and numerous children were at work, some of the children being quite small. The party were engaged in planting small onion sets, and advantage was taken of its being Saturday, to use the chill dren.- First, little. hand fertilizer drill was run along making shallaw drills about a foot apart and leaving a minute stream of fertilizer about two inches under the mark, the rate being that of 200 pounds per acre. In the trenches the children placed the little onions, forcing them into the mellow soil enough to keep them in place, the sets almost touching each other. A young man followed with a hand cultivator having two scrapers so inclined toward each other that a little ridge of soil was covered over the drill By the time the onions nicely start in sight the roots have anchored them and then the same tool with a little different set is used to scrape the ridges slightly. killing the young weeds, and easy. clean cultiya- tion with very little hand wedding re- suits. The fertilizer being placed where immediately available, encour- ages a rapid growth before the roots have time 10 make use of the stable manure which is used in addition.- Ohio Farmer.
