Statement on Acreage.

MEMPHIS, TENN, June AT q
meeting of the State presidents OF
the Farmers Education and Cooper
atiye union, who began the sessions
here to-day. the total acreage OF cot,
ton planted, May 80, was estimated
at q, ,832, 900 acres as compared with
81 gil 900 acres in 1907 government
estimate). This estimate is comput::
ed from reports received from all OF
the cotton growing States.
The reports show the growing crop
generally to be in an unsatisfactory
condition. Lands subject to over
flow, it is shown, are among the
most productive and it is considered
that hundreds of thousands of bales
have been lost to the planters:
According to the reports the sea-
son is on an average of Is days late,
less of the area is chopped and work
ed to-day than was the'case in l9V1,
and weather conditions have retard-
ed the growth of the plant.

Roots For Farm Animals.


If roots are stored in pit in the
field high, dry place should be cho-
sen. If the ground is clayey the roots
should be placed on top Of the ground.
If it is gravelly and drainage Is good
a shallow pit about five feet wide and
Of necessary length may be shoveled
out. The roots should be carefully
placed in a gable shaped pile about
FIVE feet wide and as long as conven-
lent. A thin layer Of straw should
then be laid over the pile and this COW
cred with six to eight inches Of earth.
Another and thicker layer Of straw
and a final layer Of earth will COM
plete the work. Ventilators should be
placed at intervals Of ten or fifteen
feet, which should be closed when
sweating has ceased. The pit should
not be opened on warm days in winter.
A ditch for drainage should be cut
around the pit Roots stored In this
way do not keep as well as when
stored in a good cellar; therefore they
should be- fed out as early as possible.

it. It can be made double. as is also pic
tured. In either case the posts should
be thirty inches high. The fat part OF
each side of bottom should be ten
inches wide. The slanting pieces OF
double rack should each be ten inches
and put together as shown. In the sim
gle rack the slanting board should be
fourteen inches.
The bottom strip on both racks
should be eight and the top strip four
inches wide respectively. This Will
make the .uprights between sheep four
teen inches in the clear, and they
should lap on both the bottom and
top strip far enough to be nailed firm
ly with clinch nails. These uprights
should be three inches wide and plan
ed so as to, be smooth, and the distance
apart will depend upon the size OF
sheep. Lambs will do well with them

Gallery Stored In Cellars.

Where celery Is stored in cellars the
temperature should be kept low and
plenty Of ventilation maintained. The
warmth and dampness Of the ordinary
cellar have a tendency to cause the
celery to decay. but these conditions
can frequently be overcome. Celery
will readily absorb any odor that may
be present in the atmosphere OF the
storage place, and care should be TAX
en- to provide sanitary conditions. The
plants should have most Of their roots
attached, and a bed Of moist sand In
which to set them should be provided.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1908-06-11

sheep should have them far enough
apart so there will be room for sheep
to come up and eat without crowding.
These strips allow the sheep to come
straight up to the rack and eat, but
prevent one sheep from crowding all
the others out Of the rack, which. a
stout sheep is sure to do without these
crosspieces. The slanting boards on
the bottom have their lower edges
slanted of so as to fit tightly upon the
bottom board and be well nailed.
These racks may be Of any convenient
length, but if no more than eighteen
feet long they will need only three
sets Of posts or legs. In these racks
can be fed hay, silage, roots and grain
by being cleaned Of soiled or dirty
food, which is very easily done with
wooden shovel made on purpose or
by stiff broom.
