THE COTTON SITUATION-SOM sUG-
GESTIONS.

Your editorial in the Jeffersonian of the
10Th inst. on "What is Cotton Worth 2" is
to my mind one of the most interesting arti-
Giles you have published in many day.
Presenting facts, you caused me to pause
and think. wish I knew of some way where
by the farmer could save that fifty dollars
he is losing each bale of his cotton. Now
it has occurred to me that every pound Of cot
ton grown in the South should be manufac-
tured in the South and by the planters them
selves. [ know [ am not the only one that
has thought this, but I would like to see a
determination among Southern cotton growers
to carry out the plan. [ would like to see
a great cotton factory owned and operated
by farmers. I would be happy to see the work
done in the factory by men. I would like for
their wives to be at home, their children in
school and the men in the factory at work
Why could we not have factory in every
congressional district to keep company with
the agricultural school? Each farmer hold
ing cotton for Is cents should resolve to help
manufacture it as he is SO slow about getting

AN OLD VETS PITIFUL LETTER.

Dublin, Laurens Co., Ca, April 81, 1908
Dear Sir: For the benefit of the old Con-
fede3ate soldiers, I ask you to publish this
note. They want to know if the law pre-
vents them from being sent to the poorhouse
as they cannot get pension from the state
as all comrades are dead, and the law cannot
be complied with? Many of us that were
wounded in battle and diseased are nearing
the time, if we keep on living, shall surely
suffer. We all, nearly, discuss among our
selves that we envy the place of those of our
comrades that fell at the first Manassas bat
tie, Please publish in your Weekly Jeffer-
sonian, Respectfully yours,

pears to be conservative to say that the sew
enty barrels grown on the two acres equaled
at least thirty bushels per acre-fve times
the yield Of the one acre that was planted and
cultivated the common way. In other words,
each acre of the we'll prepared land equalled
in yield five of the other. The other kind
Of preparation is the kind that makes so
many say corn raising does not pay.
Half the cultivation should be given be-
fore the crop is planted, and some of the
remaining cultivation should be given before
the crop comes up Last year number Of
farmers known to the writer had an experience
somewhat similar to the one related by Mr..
Hedrick, in that they had to replant two or
three times and consequently worked their
land more than common. Each reported that
he began to think his corn crop was going
to be too expensive to realize any profit from;
but each also said that the yield was SO I'M

usually large that he made corn cheaply. In
each OF their cases. as in Mr.. Hedrick S case,
the final planting was done so late as to give
the first planting a decided advantage of sea-
SON. but the frequent working Of the land for
the late planted crop was in each case of so
much benefit, that in spite Of the disadvantage
of late planting the well prepared land made
the cheap corn.
The question may arise, whether the extra
preparation cost more than an equal amount
of cultivation after the crop was up? Expe-
rience does not seem to indicate that meas
ured in bushels Of grain the same time or the
same money spent after the crop is up will
get as good returns as before the crop is
planted; but frequent shallow cultivation
would, of course, push the yield up high
er Thorough preparation before planting
however, is the point in corn raising that is
most often neglected. Filming the soil thor
oughly before planting makes the plant food
more readily used by the crop during its ear
ly days, one of the times it most needs food
in readily available forms. That kind Of seed
bed also controls moisture suitable for the
crop.
Assuming that the additional expense put
on eacn OF Ine TWO productive acres menG1OneQ
by Mr.. Hedrick made twenty four bushels per
acre extra CHATS what his report shows), let
US see whether it paid. When most Southern
farmers buy corn from merchants, they come
near paying rs cents per bushel. Say it is
sixty cents, Twenty-four bushels at sixty
cents lis an extra income of $144O per acre
for the extra expense. Figure out the cost
of doing the work reported and see how much
net profit it made. See whether one can af-
ford not to prepare land well before planting.

Total .$lO0,OOO
That amount would put good mill in close
proximity to every farmer and in few years
could be increased until all the cloth could be
made at home To put this money in a cot
ton factory would be a good investment. It
would be safer than Neal Bank To manu-
facture the cotton the farmer would get the
benefit Of protection. Just think Of it, we
pay the freight on our cotton from here to
England and New England, then pay the
freight on the cloth back and besides lose fifty
dollars per bale More We could manu-
facture the cloth here cheaper than they can
in New Hampshire or other New England
states. There are no coal mines in Maine,
New Hampshire Vermont, Massachusetts,
Rhode Island nor Connecticut. Thousands Of
car loads Of coal go from the middle states
to New England [ am not sure but [ don It
think the soil Of Maine is we'll adapted for
brick. Of course water power is largely used
in the East. But we have it here There is
hardly a county in Georgia but what has
water enough to spin all the cotton grown
therein into thread and weave it into cloth.
We do not send our corn to New Hampshire
to have it ground into meal, nor our sugar
cane to have it changed to syrup If we raise
100000 bales per year and gain $50 per
bale by manufacturing it ourselves we will
add $600,000,000 to our wealth each year.
Let us hope that some enterprising Farmers
Union will begin this work Let others join
in until all this work is done at home and
the South in few years will be the richest
part Of all the earth.

An Experiment Compelled by Necessity Shows
How Good Preparation Multiplied the
Yield by Five.

Messrs. Editors I will write you what I
learned about corn, after thirty years Of tick
ling the soil for a living. | had three acres
of ridge land, with about three inches of soil
and clay subsoil, which I broke and narrowed
well, putting $50 pounds Of cottonseed meal on
two acres Of it for cotton; but planted the
remaining acre in corn and cultivated this
acre the old way. But on April the frost
killed the two acres of cotton; so, it was re-
bedded and narrowed and planted in corn.
But the hand planted feed corn instead of
seed corn; so I waited till it was up, then
re-bedded and narrowed it again, making three
times that [ broke and narrowed the two
acres
[ then dropped corn in the water furrow
and covered it with two light burrows, and
narrowed it all again. When it began to come
up, [ ran the harrow over it and the middles
four times to the row, and let it stand until
nearly knee high. [ then took a True Blue
pillow and split the middles with two burrows,
then narrowed again. This was the last plow-
ing it got, as the land was too wet until the
corn was too large to work. Il planted Alex
ander Six-eared corn on the three acres. On
the two acres [ made seventy barrels of corn
which had from one to six ears to the stalk
On the one acre [ planted and cultivated the
old Southern, or free negro, way, got enough
nubbins to shell about six bushels. It has
taught me that the preparation is more than
half the battle and equal to fertilization.

RAILROADS TURN DOWN BRYAN.
Reduced Rates for His Notification
Day Are Refused.

Chicago, Aug. 8.-Norman E. Mack,
chairman of the Democratic national
committee, was notified Friday night
that no reduced railroad rates will be
put into effect for the Bryan notifica-
ton meeting at Lincoln, Neb., on
August ~. The communication came
from Eben Mcleod, chairman of the
Western Passenger association, and
was In reply to a letter sent to that
official by Mr.. Mack earlier in the day
and calling attention to the fact that
reduced fares had been granted on the
occasion Of the Taft celebration in
Cincinnati, whereas no concessions
had been made for the Democratic
gathering. Mr.. Mcleod explained the
action Of the railroads by referring to
the fact that no reduced rates had
been put into effect for any events in
Nebraska since the passage Of the
two-cent fare law in that state. He
also emphasized the fact that the re-
duced rates to Cincinnati were offered
by the Central Passenger association.
