HANDLING COTTON.
There ls Altogether Too Much laxity
in Caring for the Crop After
Securing It.

Seven bales of cotton received at
the cotton platform few days ago
were damaged to such an extent that
about sixty pounds of the lint had to
be picked from each Of them. The
pickings were worth about half price,
making the loss, with cotton at IL
cents pound, of $3.50 a bale. Cotton
Weigher ]. s. Withers and Inspector
Robert Simpson say that much of the
cotton received at the platform dur
ing the reat of this season will be
in a damaged condition on account OF
the carelessness OF the farmers in
leaving it in the rain. A reporter
learned that the farmers even in
Mecklenburg county, lose probably
several thousand dollars every year
in damaged cotton, when, II tley
would put it under shelter, the cotton
would remain in first-class condition.

merchants in the city told an Observ-

This house is so constructed that the
main body of it may be made warm
and comfortable late in the fall by hav-

fire in the fireplace. With the stair

made quite comfortable even in fairly
cold weather. The other two bed
rooms in the veranda sections could

COMING CROP OF THE SOUTH
The Value Of the cowpea as a Pay.
Ing Crop Is Not Gener-
ally Realized.

The cowpea as a paying crop has
never been fully realized by the great
mass of the farmers as It should be
and as it will be in the future. This
is plainly obvious to the intelligent
observer who travels among the pine
land farms of the south. This is more
planting about all their valuable land
planting about al their valuable land
in cotton; the quickest and surest
route to financial ruin that could be
planned on the farm, and while thi5
class of farmers are running them
selves, they are running their soil and
contributing their part to injure all
the. other cotton planters by over
production. The deterioration Of the
soil is probably the worst feature
about it. Now to fully realize the
fact, take the average yield of cotton
or corn per acre in the south; about
one-third bale or eight or ten bushels
corn per acre. This in itself speaks
louder than words that the soil is
sadly neglected by the average farm
er. and the deterioration continues
worse each year. This will be a calam-
ity on the next generation II a rad
ical change is not made.
The great remedy for sure and
quick results for the better is the
cowpea; it has all good qualities and
no bad ones; it makes food for your
family, your horses, cattle, hogs,
chickens, and rest and food for your
cotton-sick soil that will enable it to
produce SO per cent. more after each
crop grown It will double your crop
after two crops Of peas and enhance
the value of the soil 100 per cent.
Indeed it seems strange that so
good a thing has been so commonly
neglected to make a nig crop Of cot
ton, or rather to increase the cotton
acreage.
Another convincing feature in favor
of the pea crop is it can be planted as
q second crop after small grain and
In corn, thus making two good crops.
but there are thousands of acres that
should be devoted to pease exclusively
q year or two to enable it to make q
| paying crop.
| II one-half the cotton land in the
south could have good growth Of
peas each year the other half would
produce in a year or two as much
cotton as all do now, to say nothing Of
the fine stock that would consume the
crop. There. is nothing that gives
greater returns for the labor and
money invesed than the pea crop

STOCK ON A COTTON FARM

ers Would Find Themselves
In Better Fix.

The farmers OF the south have
raised cotton, to the exclusion Of 9th
er crops, until their finances are in
a ieplorable condition. BY raising
cotton exclusively, they have placed
themselves at the mercy Of the
stock broker and the gambler in fu.
lures; because they must sell their
farm product, which IS cotton, in or
der to pay their outstanding debts,
contracted in order to raise the crop,
regardless OF whether it will bring a
profitable price or not. There has been
many associations formed in the
south to protect the cotton grower
from the detrimental effects produced
by the speculation in cotton, but they
have produced little or no good effect,
from the fact that under the present
mode of farming the people must
simply must-raise cotton. It the
southern farmers ever hope to break
the bans that make them slaves to
"King Cotton" 1t must be done by in
dividual effort. All kinds Of stock does
well in the Land Of Cotton and II
the cotton growers would give more
attention to hogs, cows AMI horses,
and had the proper amount Of feed
to carry them through the winter,
they would find themselves less do
pendent on cotton. The winters OF
tae south are mild, and the summer
range is good for at least six months
in the year, so the actual expense OF
raising a good beef is really much
less than 1t necessarily would be in
the more rigid climate Of the north.
Mules should be raised on the planta'
ton where they are intended for use.

plantation is light, and can easily
