Cotton Bagging for Cotton
Bales--Exanple of Missis-
sippi Farmers Union.

The officers of the Farmers
Union in Mississippi have made
contract with the cotton mills
to tunish 100000 yards of
cotton bagging, sufficient guam
tity to cover 100000 bales
of cotton. They propose to pack
every bale of cotton grown by
the members of the Union in that
State in this baggiug, and to en-
courage its use by all other far
mers with whom they have any
influence. We are told by the
Atlanta Constitution that while
the annual cotton crop of Missis-
sippi does not aggree ate 2,000,-
600 bales, or anything like it,
the Farmers Union in that State
are so firmly convinced that they
will have cooperation from cot
ton growers in surrounding Stat
es that the demand for cotton
bagging will far exceed the quan
ti'y OF the bagging for which they
have contracted.
Why should not cotton b, COW

neater than jute, and equally

tional market for the cotton pro-
duced by the growers. 1t will
make the growers independent
OF the great jute bagging trust,
and will contribute immensely TO
the commercial and manufacture
ing strength of the South. Why
send to India for jute in which
to bale the Southe n cotton crop
when the staple can be packed
better in bagging made from cot
ton grown in the Southern fields?

Pick Cowpeas or Save Hay.

Pick Cowpeas or Save Hay.
J. G. McAuliffe in the Southern Guilt
vator:
A reader of some of my work
wants 10 know if it is more
profitable to pick cowpeas at two
dollars per bushel than it is to
save hay at twenty dollars? l
/ have never found it so and |
hardly think that any one else
can find it so. However, it is q
hard matter to see how a farmer
can afford to feed twenty.dollars
of hay to his cattle. There is
just one thing that must be done
in matters of this kind in order
to make farming successful.
Practice home economy, and by
that l mean grow the things
needed at home and then use
them.
1t is little bit foolish for
man to say that he can feed
twenty dollar hay because it
doesn't cost him but five dollars
to grow it. 1t is worth its full
price as obtained in the market,
no matter where grown or what
the cost. In order to get twenty
dollars worth of good from COW.
pea hay it must be guarded from
the start. In the beginning feed
it to good cattle, or fine horses
and mules. Save the manure
and apply it to the farm. This
is simple, but it, truth.
Again, no matter which is
cheapest, be sure and pick
enough of those peas 10 grow
the next one. They don't cost
two dollars a bushel, but they
are worth five dollars per bushel
to the man who plants them. 1t
is not too late to plant peas in
Georgia until the middle of July.
It'll be a good plan to hustle
around now and put in an extra
acreage. 1t may take more than
two dollars to buy a bushel for
seed if you haven't saved them,
but remember they are worth
five dollars and besides you'll!
get start if you save your own
seed this fall.
There is no question but that
these things are valuable in
farming. 1t is the small patches
that come in sort of extra like
that makes the matters of this
character so important. 1t is
like interest to the financier who
is engaged in legitimate business.
/ may not result in a fortune to
the farmer who follows this
course, but it means the differ
ence between prosperity and
failure.

slow work, and when the bundles
are stacked in the little single
stacks more than half of the feed
will be exposed to the weather
all winter, and when ready to be
fed will have little iood value

THERE'S A WAY THAT Is A WHOLE
LOT BETTER FOR UPLANDs.
The above method of handling
may be necessary on low bot
tom lands that are quite likely
to overflow. But for second
bottom and uplands there is a
better way and one that is a
whole lot better. The writer
has watched a good many men
pull fodder and has wondered as
many times if they had any idea
of the amount of time they were
"asting. Some way, pulling
fodder never looked to the writer
like mans job. The amount
of feed one could secure in a day
being so very small when COM
pared with other methods of saw
ing feed. Set one hand to pull
ing fodder, give another corn
knife and let him 60 to cutting
the entire stalks. At the end OF
the day the man with the knife
will have saved more of the
blades than the other man has
secured: : he will have at the
same time harvested the tops,
ears and shucks and saved them
in good-sized, well-built shocks
when only a small amount of the
feed will be exposed to the wea-
ther; and he will have saved
enough of grain shrinkage by
cutting the entire stalk to pay
for the work of harvesting twice
over
A WORD ABOUT SHOCKING CORN.
A number of men have told
me that parties have been at
them about the loss of grain
caused by fodder pulling, while
at the same time said parties
were losing both corn and fodder
because Of shocks falling down
and becoming damaged. This
is not a necessary condition OF
corn shocking at all. We have
been handling corn in this way
Tor seven years in the South and
have never lost dollars worth
of either grain or feed by wea.
ther damage. Like everything
else, there is right and several
wrong ways of shocking corn.
If the corn is to be cut by hand,
we prefer to tie "standalds"
around which to set the cut corn.
These are made by Intervening
the tops of several stalks of corn
across two rows. These stalks
worked in together in this way
make good support for the cen.
ter of tn coin shock, and if the
corn is set an equal thickness
around this standard and is
slanted at the same slant from
every direction, with the tops of
every bundle leaning toward the
center of the shock, and the tops

written contradiets many statements of earlier travellers.
 He says that nowhere has he found the African forest darker than any other dense woodland. The vegetation in 1t is certainly more iuxurisnt than in a European forest, but 1t Is an ex- arreration to say they are covered with penetrabie vegetation
 Wherever the natives live, wsilworn footpaths lead in all directions. Trav. cling is hard on some of them, put many of the paths are very uscfui highways.
 Deiafosse had none of the experiences
 of travellers who assert that their gar. ments have practically been strippeo of them by the dense and thorny un- dergrowth. He lived for months in for ests without greater damage to his clothing than in any other parts or Africa, except that when travelling raps idly on a hunting path his sleeves hsvs become unduiy worn at the elbows. As for darkness Tn the forests, hs often took his compass bearings with out artificial light when pitching camp at nishtfaii. The forest traveller has this advantage. that he is always In shadow, and on the hottest days he can pursue his journey the whole af- ternoon, which would be impossible In the open country.
 As for the reputed feeling of dis comfort and oppression in the depths
 of the forest. this is partly true. When there is no stir h the atmosphere | is more diffcult to breathe in the for est than in the open, and as there Is | less chance for evaporation tho dis- comfort of excessive precipitation IS manifest
 It must be remembered, however.
 that if under such atmospheric condi- tions a man breathes more easily In the open land he Is st the same time much hotter and so far more uncon. fortabie. When a breeze stirs any | where 1t penetrates the woods also

 where the high grass Is above his
 head. It is then that . man without air. horizon or shade feels as though he
 would melt.
 There are plenty of sounds In the forest to attract attention. also. and | Something is going on all the time. Tn addition to the ceaseless nurnur l of the streams there are the hurnming of the insects, the song of birds. the
