Harvie Jordan on Condition
of Cotton Crop Present
High Price of Seed.

Atlanta Journal: According
to President Harvie Jordan, of
the Southern Cotton association,
the cotton crop is in very much
worse condition, as to injury
from the recent cold, than he
had any idea it was.
cit has been reported 10 me-"
said President Jordan, "that the
cotton mills around Memphis
have shipped out 100000 worth
of cotton seed to the farmers for
replanting purposes.
"The price of cotton seed of
any kind has gone up to $3.50 a
bushel, These are the same seed
that the farmers sold 10 the mills
last year for 20 or % cents a
bushel."
As to the condition Of the crop,
Mr.. Jordan quotes from letter
written the association by Presi-
dent Walter Clarke, of the Mis-
sissippi division.
In the Delta fifty per cent Of
the crop is in fair condition,
twenty-five per cent will have 10
be repianted, and twenty five
per cent has yet to be planted.
No planting can be done for sew
eral days, on account of the
rains. The corn crop has also
been seriously damaged, and the
bulk has already been replant-
ed.
Under present weather cond;
tions, Mr.. Clarke thinks that an
advance in the fal! months is
inevitable, but takes little stock
In Mr.. Prices statement that he
will put JUL options to sixteen
cents. els is simply a bait to
catch suckers and while there
may be sharp advance, favor
able weather conditions will
bring about as equally
sharp decline. he says, "a cor
nered market is gamblers
game; and | hope the people of
the south will not be caught"

Peavine Hay as a Money

Intensive Cultivation Here
after.
Southern Cultivator.

tlOn ls over. inere Is now prac-
tically no time left to give the
main crops any more care in the
way of soil preparation. From
today the cry must be intensive
cultivation. In order TO realize
the best there is in the land far
mers must work some chicanery,
so to speak. There is virtually
no new methods which can be
inauguarated successfully at this
season of the year.
The main thing to do is to get
out of the ruts of common usage
and try something that will save
labor. If you are too far away
to get an improved implement
make the best use of what you
have.
| have grown tired seeing a
farmer struggling with plow-
stock that would not plow right
because it was not adjusted. l
have seen plow hands with no
conception of what might be ac.
complished by display of lit
tie thought and skill go on hour
after hour trying to do something
by main force which could have
been done In twinkling by a
simple adjustment of the plow.
Then there are others who 90
along day after day trying to per-
form with the hands what could be
done twice as easily by employ
ing some mechanical contri-
vance.
One great disadvantage on the
average farm is the lack of ami
mails TO work the land. On eve
ry plantation there should be one
or more extra animals, for the
farm that is correctly conducted
can be much more easily
managed if an extra plow is put
to work at an opporlune time.
Then there are some farmers
who think that in the rush of the
season they can do better by
quitting plowing and using hoes
to clear their crops. | have found |
this great mistake as the mid |
die land usually becomes unruly
under such practice and there
is trouble ahead for the rest OF
the season.
Deep plowing is the best thing
to do on the farm. Whenever
it is possible plow every week for
that means every vestge of We
getation will be destroyed by the
plow and there is nothing posi-
bic to be detrimental 10 the grow.
ing crop.
In the idle times on the farms
it will be well to put in a few
catch crops that do not require
much cultivation. They can be
planted on the waste places, as
we'll as doing away with many
unsightly places around the
houses.
However, the main object to
be kept in sight is to work, work,
work. There are good many
farmers who grow tired too ear
ly in the season and the man who
starts to plowirg his crop early
in the season and keeps it up
little later than the other fellow
is called a lucky farmer. This
