The Advantages of Planting
the Best Varieties Of Cot
ton.
Progressive Farmer.

During the past seven years
fifty varieties of cotton have been
tested at the Edgecombe Test
Farm of the North Carolina De-
partment of Agriculture, thirty
at the Red Springs Farm, aud
forty. three at the Iredell Farm.
In these tests, we have had some
varieties to produce over 900
pounds of seed cotton more per
acre than other less prolific ones.
1t has not been strange either to
find that q certain few varieties
have maintained themselves at or
near the top of the list Of large
yields. If farmers could be in
duced to grow the more prolific
varieties of cotton, with reasona-
BILE care the average yield of seed
cotton for the State could easily
be increased 100 pounds per acre
with the present fertilization and
methods of culture. This increase
taken at three and one.third cents
per pound, would sell for over
three and one third million dol
lars. This is considered very
conservative estimate of what
would result from the planting of
the more prolific varieties. At
Edgecombe last year, Excelsior
Prolific. Culpepper's Improved
and Russell's Big Boil averaged
over $50 pounds of lint per acre
more than good average native
cotton of that section, when all
were grown under the same con-
ditions of soil, fertilization and
cultivation as far as itlwas possi-
BILE to obtain and maintain
them.
1t must not be overlooked,
however, In this connection, that
the man who produces only from
one-third to one-half bale per
acre, produces it generally at a
considerably greater cost per
pound than the man producing
bale or more per acre. 1t usu-
ally costs him from one and one
half to twice as much per pound
for production.
On the sandy or sandy loan
soils of the Eastern and South
eastern portions of the State
that are we'll drained, it has
been found that Russell's Big
Boil, Culpepper's Improved, and
Edgeworth varieties have yield
ed most satisfactory returns,
while for the more compact and
less thoroughly drained and
hence cooler soils of the East, it
has been found that Kings I'm.
proved, Culpepper's Improved
Edgeworth and Excelsior Pro-
life generally do best. In the
northeastern tier Of counties,
which are near the northern
limit of the growth of cotton, it
will generally be found that the
latter group of varieties will
produce more satisfactory returns
on all classes of soils. Kings
Improved, Shines Extra Early
Prolific and Dozier's Improved
are three of the earliest varieties

It was on May %, as has been stated,
that the first soldiers left their rendezvous
Ry August Gen. Vincent was able to re-
mort GAO. sos volunteers mustered out; by
September Il, 4l.107; by November ID,
500 963: by February II, 1866. 932.452.
In nine months practically the whole
force of volunteers had been returned to
tbeir homes The disarmament had been
accomplished so easily. so quickly. that the
country had hardly realized what was going
on. Gen. Grant did not say too much
when. in October, he wrote Mr. Stanton
that SEQ. 900 men had passed. from the army
to civil life so quietly that It was scarcely
known save by the welcome to their
homes received by them"
And yet this feat, which at the time
nassed unheeded, was the greatest feat IN
handling men which this or any govern
ment has ever performed. Its success was
dine primarily to the fact that the admin
tstration, instead of organizing new
bureau for the work and filling 1t with
inexperienced men, used the trained men
1t had on hand in the department which
had been mastering men into the army;
secondly to the fact that the reversing OF

noblest this land has ever seen. IL was

ranft, Miles. Howard. Logan. Blair. Buell.;
1t was the men In the ranks who, for SIX
hours on one day. seven on the other'
passed sixty abreast In cadence step
through the wide Washington avenues
The great throng which had gathered in
Washington to witness the review sat as II
spellbound watching hour after hour these
great blue masses passing as steadily ana
rhythmieally as an ocean tide. Now and
then men turned wondering dazed eyes to
each other and asked Where did they all
come from? Have we sent so many men
to the front? Is 1t true that this is but
one-fifth of the army?" With this sur
prise at the numbers came deeper sur
prise-that an army looked like this. For
four years they had been seeing soldiers
daily--buoyant lads, marching with shin
ing eyes to the front, or crippled men
crawling home to debut soldiers like
these they did not know. These men were
bronzed and stern and Indifferent. The
spectators felt almost a terror in watching
the ranks, so Irresistible seemed their
power, so mighty their will. This. then,
was what Lincoln meant when he talked
to them of veterans This was the
kind of men war made Of their bright
faced boys.
In the interval after THE order for dis
bandment came, and while the troops were
marching to their rendezvous transporta-
ton by river and rail had been preparing
to take the men to their state camps. All
the steamers, cars, engines of the north
were at the service of the government for
this task. Indeed. from now on the trans

knew us Bill still alive?" the man asked
himself sometimes at night. when alone on
picket he thought of home. The silence
was ominous. Probably Bill was dead.
And now here. the first man to greet him
as he entered was his boyhood friend. 1t
was these reunions. with the exchange of
experiences, the stories of battle-and the
endless discussions of the merits of their

homes, tolerable to the men. They could

dured it long. Nor were they obliged to.
Ahead of them in camp We're the officers
with their discharge papers and their pay,
and as rapidly as it could be done each
men was dismissed.
1t was characteristic of the foresight
with which the entire business of dis
bandment was managed that it was ar
ranged that the soldiers should not be
paid until they were within the restrain
ing and protecting influence Of their own
homes. The soldiers, their pay in their
pockets. would certainly have deserted in
shoals in the delays at rendezvous and
camps and most of them would have been
easy prey for the crowds of sharpers which
gathered at every point, hoping that pay
day would put the men in their power.
This dsorganization was prevented by
making payday the last day in the process
of disarmament. The matter was the more
important because the sum to be dis
i tributed was SO large. The Army of the
Potomac had not been paid since December
81, 1864, Sherman's and Thomas armies
not since August. 1864. There were boun-
ties coming to many men and officers. The
aggregate amount of money paid out to
500 900 men discharged by Noyember Is
was about $270,GO0,O00.
Thus 1t was that though man reached
his state camp penniless he found himself
free a few days later with a comfortable
sum in his pocket The first use he made
of his money in most cases was to buy the
arms he had carried through his service.
These arms belonged to the government
and were to be deposited in the state
arsenals unless bought by the men. Many
preferred TO do this. and so. with knapsack
on his back, musket in hand, the soldier
presented himself at last at his own home
door.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1907-05-26

But 1t was not only the sense Of being
thrown adrlft which affected the soldiers
when the order for disarmament was first
received. -Four years of fighting. of de-
feat and victory, had hardened many of
them into warriors, and they loved their
trade. They might grumble at times. but
the passion for danger and adventure had
its hold upon them. and no man who has
once learned to love war steps back to
civilians life with whole heart. Great
numbers of them had gone into the army
boys and had been made men by danger
and suffering. Here they had for the first
time faced big things-for the first time felt
great emotions. They chung. all men
do, to that which has awakened their
natures. 1t was not strange. then. that
they at first should have felt something
like regret. =
But this wave of regret was everywhere
brief. AS soon the mems faces were
set for the north there a blaze of
joyous emotion. They were going home
Under the influence of this new phase of
feeling the armies marched to their rem

AS soon as the soldiers were north OF
the Potomac and Ohio they began to re-
joice over the change from the want and
desolation Of the south to the order. thrift
and plenty of the north They hung from
the car windows and crowded the decks
of the boats admiring and eXulting. The
farmers were at work in the fields. gar
dens were green, apple trees in blossom.
The ways of doing things, the style of
house and barn. the white meeting house,
the country school-all the familiar things
they had grown up wth-were before
them. 1t was Gods country they said,
and they would never leave it again. At
every station they sWarmed forth to shake
hands with the crowds, which seemed all
the summer and fall to be always on hand
to cheer them,' to offer them hot coffee
or cool drinks. to fill their pockets with
fruit and cakes. When. as sometimes hap
pened at stations, there We're delays, they
fell to playing ball. chuck-a-luck or leap
frog, with the abandon of boys.
There was great care taken that the de-
lays at stations where changes were made
should not be long: nevertheless. at great
terminals like New York. Cleveland or
Chicago, 1t was inevitable there should be
frequent COMPOSITIONS of soldiers. In New
York permanent barracks were erected on

the regiments were marched as soon as
they came into town THERE coming was

a few weeks they passed almost UNDECIDED
