Cotton Advice.

There has been larger reduction
in the production of the cotton mills.
Prices have fallen. Wages in the
Northern mills have been reduced,
and for the time there has been re-
duced demand for the raw material.
The Southern farmers should take
these facts into consideration and cur
tail the acreage for 1908. Plant food
crops, raise more hogs, more fruits
and vegetables for the market and
less cotton.
The acreage for 1907 was larger
than it should have been. A late cold
spring interfered with the produce
ton, and the weather conditions and
the labor conditions throughout the
season united to reduce the yield per
acre.
tt we have in 1908 the same acre
age as in 1897 and have better crop
year, better weather and better labor
conditions with smaller demand
from the mills, it is clear that prices
would fall. and the crop would not be
remuneratiye.
The remedy is to reduce your acre
age ten per cent. and raise other
crops instead Home and Farm.

Two Most Hopeful Signs.

I. We were talking to promin-
emit merchant of Fairburn, Ga. He
said: 1.-THE farmers in our section are
improving. And six cent cotton
proved great blessing to them in
disguise. 1t forced them to raise their
corn. In 1902 sold twenty-eight
carloads of corn. and nearly all of it
on credit For the last four years
have not averaged a carload per
year" This is, indeed, hopeful sign,
and we think a like condition Of af-
fairs exist all over the South. We
know it does in all thrifty sections
If your section is an exception to this
rule begin to fall into line.
2. In former years it was custom
airy to hear farmers Dragging about
how few burrows they ran in making
crop. And it was almost the Gus
tom to ''run OFF and plant" without
any breaking or thorough prepare
ton Of the soil Now we hear the
farmers tell with pride how long it
took them to prepare their land. This
week near neighbor told us how he
had prepared his land for corn. He
said: 81 spent a week with two large
mules, breaking my six acres for
corn. / am going to try the Will
hanson PLAN. viii use soc pounds
guano per acre. | am tired going
over so much land for my corn. We
rejoice that the day has changed, and
thatlour farmers are beginning to APP
preciate the vast difference between
thorough preparation and good work
and scratching the soil. Southern

FertiIizing For Peanuts.

Pops in peanuts are caused by a
deficiency Of potash in the soil, not
deficiency of lime. Lime applied to
the soil releases potash and thus aids.
Use a fertilizer strong in phosphoric
acid and potash. Many peanut grow.
ers use plaster, which has the same
effect Of releasing potash that may be
in the soil. But in using phosphate
literally you will of necessity apply
forty pounds of plaster in every 100
pounds Of acid phosphate, as this is
the result OF dissolving the lime phos-
phate with sulphuric acid. The sandy
soils OF the peanut section are def
cient in potash, and liberal applica-
ton of acid phosphate and muriate of
potash win increase the crop and do
as much toward banishing pops as
lime.-W. F. Massey.

Modern Farm Methods
AS Applied in the South.
Notes of Interest to Planter,
Fruit Grower and Stockman

How to Raise Good WatermeIons.
Watermelons prefer sandy soil Of
moderate fertility, and are not likely
to do well on clay or very heavy soil.
If raised on the same land number
Of years they will probably suffer
from blight. Break the land broad
cast thoroughly Prepare for plant
ing six to ten feet each way, depend
ing on the variety Of melon grown
and the strength of the soil. Furrow
deeply where the rows are to be, and
cross furrow IL preferred Where
each hill is to grow open pit eight
inches deep and twenty-four inches
across, and apply In each pit shovel
OF well fermented compost. From
four to six pounds will be the right
amount @
A compost that has given good SER
vice is made Of three parts by weight
of cottonseed, manure and high grade
acid phosphate each, and one part of
kainit, all thoroughly mixed and left
in large heap six weeks to ferment.
There will not be time now to fer
ment this mixture for the present
year, which would have deprived the
seed of life and made the plant food
in the compost quickly available. If
fresh manure had been applied to
each hill before February it would by
planting time, If covered with soil,
have got in good condition to feed the
plants. If manure is scarce, a good
commercial fertilizer may be mixed
with woods mold or rich loan and
placed in every hill. If the manuring
is too heavy it will make more vine
than melons.
Put eight to ten seeds in each hill
and cover one inch deep If hard
rains and drying winds follow plant
ing lightly scratch the surface Of the
hills to break the crust. If the soil is
kept stirred around the young plants
their early growth will be more rapid.
Thin to two plants, selecting the most
vigorous and stocky ones in a hill, as
soon as the plants form the first two
leaves. Keep up shallow cultivation
and recede, from the row as the plants
grow Plant a row OF peas in the
middles, so the pea vines will be
grasped by the tendrils on the melon
vines in order that the latter may not
be knocked about by heavy winds.
DO not move the vines for the pur-
pose of cultivation When it is seen
that vines that KEEP. extending their
length in the latter part of the season
will not be able to mature what fruit
the new growth may put out, 1t may
be best to pinch back the new growth
so that the vigor Of the vine may be
thrown back for developing what
fruit can mature-Chas M. Sherer,

THE FAMILY HORSE AND COW.


THE FAMILY HORSE AND COW.
Watch the horses hoofs carefully
during the spring months. The mud
should not be allowed to cake on
them, and, if one has been driving
over wet roads, the animals legs
should be thoroughly dried off.
It is wise plan to get the manure
pile away from the stable as soon as
possible in the spring. Nowadays
many people with country places have
manure drawn direct to the fields.
throughout the winter, but if this
practice is not followed it should now
be carried to the ground where it is to
be used and spread.
Be careful to see that the horse
and COW are never without piece of
rock salt. 1t is a good plan to have
a small box fastened to the stall
manager to keep it in.
The cow should be out of doors
every fair day for exercise, but be
sure that she is not allowed to stray
on the soft and wet turf, which is
easily cut up and damaged at this
time of r.-Suburban Life.
