subject to rot. Avoid the Concord,
should be the first rule in the catechism
of the Southern grape grower. All
things considered, the Delaware is as
worthy Of approval as the Concord is
unworthy. 1t should form the stand
by, the main planting for either table
or wine. Next in order would pro-
bablv stand Mloore's Diamond, Ives,
Berckmans and Niagara.
Fertilizing-Here is a serious and
common seat of error. Stable manure,
which is very commonly used for fer
tilizing the vines, should be but seldom
or never used on grapes. The soil on
which the vines are planted should
be made fertile with manure or le
guminous crops, but after the vines
are once set, mineral fertilizers should
be depended on for supplying the in
dispensable plant food.
The objections to stable manure are
it's liability to result in excess of fol-
iage to detriment of fruit yield, and
it's tendency to increase the prevalence
of fungus diseases.
The object of the grower should be
to make wood the first two years and
fruit thereafter. For this reason the
fertilizer should contain more nitrogen
the first two years than afterwards.
A fair average application for these
first years would be 300 pounds per
acre, analyzing about 6-4-Io. There
after the annual application should be
about 200 pounds of 6-3-Io mixture
The first year the potash may be
4ho
form of the muriate. Afterwards only
the sulphate should be used.
1t is important to note that the COM
paratively high proportion of potash is
not based solely on the known import
ance of this material in influencing
quantity and quality Of fruit. It has
been frequently demonstrated that the
dropping of the fruit, so disastrous a
trouble in many sections, is prevented
by the liberal use of potash fertilizers.
Care-Detai1s for setting and caring
for the vines are not possible here.
Mistakes only can be pointed out and
remedies suggested.
One of the very common mistakes is
in the neglect of proper pruning of The
vines. The actual method to be fol-
lowed must depend on the form Of
trellising used. The principle is the
same with all.
This should, of course, be done be-
fore sap begins to flow in early spring.
Then with fertilizing at the first p1ow-
ing, shallow cultivation and spraying
with Bordeaux mixture after the fruit
has set, one has a right to expect
grapes, good grapes, and plenty of
grapes

From some clippings presented
through our "Chowder column" in
this issue, our readers will note that
the intermeddling of U. S. Senator
A. J. McLaurin, in the gubernatori-
al campaign is causing a great deal
of stir amongst the circles polite.
Speaking for ourselves, we have no
objection to any qualified elector of
Mississippi, be he high official or
lowest citizen, to both vote and work
for the man of their choice for any
Office in the state portfolio This is
their free privilege. Still politically
we would remember this is count a.
gainst one who might subsequent be
up for our favor If he helped encom-
pass the defeat of a favorite of ours,
and some day we were offered a
chance to contribute to his political
defeat; spirit of retaliation might
rise in us and incite such action.
This writer has nothing personally
against Anse McLaurin. We worked
for his occupying the seat he now
does, however, we are not permitting
his opinions to color ours in choosing
favorites Our independently has oft
been avowed, and will ever be main
tanned, regardless of past, present or
future utilization.

About Success.

termination to put the best he has into

of the best things IN life will event.

room at the top" and faithfulness is
one of the essential conditions of
ascent.
Nor can any one succeed ut last in
any sphere of life without a certain
degree of piety. in its older and more
and more beautiful sense of habitual
reverence toward nature and her laws.
This is not the teachings of the Christ
ian religion only, but equally of all
religion and experience of mankind.
The elements of success are moral
mainly, and absolute obedience to
moral law is essential to the preser-
walton of a clear head and sound iudg-
ment. Whoever Is not Obedient will
sooner or later find that he has been
sowing the wind only to reap q whirl-
wind which will mar if not wreck his

For the benefit of those to whom it
may not be clear, we wish to explain
that the new rate for non aid-ir-
advance subscriptions, which went
into effect on May l, 1907, does not
apply to subscriptions unpaid the
year in advance back of that date.
The rule will only be invoked for sub
scriptions accrueing after that date.
That is beyond it. If you became
delinquent before this date the price
of 81 % would not apply, but the old
rate of 81 would be the one to reckon
by. If subsequent to that date, 81, %
would be the basis.

November Nomenclature.

November was called by the an
Client Saxons the whit monat, or wind
month, on account of the gales then
prevalent. 1t was also named the
blot monat, or blood month. from the
ancient practice of then slaughter
ing cattle for the winter provisions.
1t is said that the Roman senators
wished to name the month after
Tiberius, as months had already been
named after julius Caesar and Au-
gustus, but the emperor, like Canute,
felt that it was possible to have too
much flattery and refused, remark
ing: What will you do. conscript IA

Western Hustle.

In Salt Lake City were several firms
which mailed advertising circulars to
the farmers of the surrounding coun-
try when they had anything new to
offer, says the Saturday Evening Post.
A bright boy went to these men, and
offered to deliver 1000 such circulars
in the rural free delivery mail boxes
for five dollars. Six different firms
accepted the offer. The lad then went
to the printer, and secured a commits
sion of five dollars on the sale of the
1900 circulars. Next, he started out
in a rig which he secured rent free
from the livery stable in return for
mailing up signs advertising it. The
delivery of the circulars took him four
days, for which he had received $35-
nearly nine dollars day.

Cost of Cotton Pickinn

1t requires something like 1900, 900
cotton pickers, each picking 100
pounds of seed cotton an average for
each picker and working 100 days
to pick a 10000, OOO-bale crop. OF
course some pick more than 100
pounds of seed cotton and some less.
There are days when, on account of
rain, no cotton can be picked. The
average of 100 pounds day for 100
days is not far wrong as an estimate
of the pickers work.
At 60 cents hundredweight the
cost of picking bale of cotton is SO.
At IS cents hundredweight the cost
10 SLIPS bale. Therefore the cost
OF picking the entire crop will range
scinewhere between $4,000, 900 and
$4,000 900.

"Old Subscriber-The finding of a
