THE BOIL WEVIL
(CharIOtte Observer.)
Charlotte Observer. }

Mr.. Guy Stubbs, of Monroe, La. one
Of the largest cotton planters in the
north central section of Louisiana,
spent yesterday in the city, a guest at
the Buford. Three years ago the
Magenta plantation, which belongs to
Mr.. Stubb's father. and which is locat-
ed near the Ouichita river, produced
approximately 1000 bales of colt on.
This year yield Of $50 is expected.
About the boil Weevi1.'' Mr.. Stubbs
was asked. Are not the reports exag-
gerated 90

Stubbs, ''foY the reason that they can

p. Parker, another large planter,
whose place adjoints our own, raised
between 1900 and 1900 bales three

bales this year..
Of the staple cotton has been aban
doned in the district in favor of early
maturing varieties. He secured his
seed, the Simpkins, this year from Raj

made to secure an early maturing va

is done, the planters Of the boil WeeVH

terpriSe that brings success. Down in
Georgia, James Smith has become
more than a millionaire since the war
at pure farming with cotton, wheat,
peas, corn. til he now farms 10000
acres Of land In Queen Anne county,
Maryland, William McKenney be-
came millionaire buying farms aud
renting them on shares since the war
to grow wheat, corn and clover. An
drew WoodaN. in Kent county, Mary
land, became q millionaire since the
war in the same way. MI. Mckinney
left an estate Of forty two fine farms
and Captain Woodall had thirty OF
them. And yet, all over the country
we find men saying that 'farmin' don't
pay The kind of farming they DO
never will pay, but real farming pays
in any section of this country when
there are brains and energy behind it.
1t is the man behind it every time tnat
makes all the difference between sue
cess and failure.
Our Southern landowners will
patch out pieces Of land for tenants
to grow cotton on, and year by year
the land grows poorer, while the men

Lesson on Holding Cotton.

A certain Cabarrus county farmer
this week brought in his crop OF cot
ton held from the season Of 1907. con-
sisting Of fourteen bales. On January
21. 1908, he was offered twelve and
-three-quarter cents per pound. but re-
fused to sell, being advised to hold for
an advance in the market
After holding his cotton for over
year he marketed this week, at nldlc
and One-ha1f cents sustaining loss
of seventeen and one-half dollars per
bale. or total loss of two hundred
and forty-five dollars.
We doubt very much whether TINS
particular individual can be induced
to hold cotton in Years to come. ana
there are many instances where such
losses have occurred through the en-
deavor to force up the price Of tbs
sta pie.
It would mean much more Tor tE[.
cotton belt section, to have marketed
at once the entire crop when the
money could be put into circulation,
and debts paid. making it far more
easy for all. concerned Yet we see
farmers willing to tie up their sea
sons work. allowing their bills to re
main unpaid. embarrassing those VINO
have extended to them favors. keep
ing the money out of circulation,
and perhaps selling at a loss at some
future date.-Real Estate Record.

KING COTTON AND KIM CORN TO THE
EHDMED

After all that can be said and done
cotton is king in the South, and corn
is king in the West, but corn can be
successfully grown in the South. Every
farmer should grow all the corn he
needs. There is difference i'll crops
as we'll as men and some crops are
more eXacting than others. Corn
makes its demands and they must be
regarded or the farmer suffers. II
cotton and corn could talk they would
speak about as follows:

PROFITABLE FARMING

Progressive Farmer.)

Taking q walk out in the country
one bright sunny day some weeks ago,
1 passed a field where a number OF
two-horse plows We're at work running
out deep burrows by going twice in q
row Meeting the owner, Mr.. w. F..
Allen, l asked what he was making
those rows for ''Cantaloupes,' said
he. Il have to keep about twenty
men on all winter, and j do all the
work / can get done to hasten the
work in spring. / keep these men
at work to save time in the spring
when I take on more than fifty more
hands"
And then I thought how much there
is in the management of a man in bus
mess. / have often said that IN
trucking there is Just as much CHARGE
for a man nortflward or southward 50

its own chance at the market in sue
cession. The men who really com
pete with those further South are the
men who have realized the value 81
glass.
Mr. Aliens career shows we'll that
a man of energy and nerve can sue
ceed in almost any location where
transportation facilities are good. He
came here years ago, a raw country
lad, and went in debt for a poor
sandy farm, too poor to grow anything
but sassafras sprouts and pine bushes.
He was to pay s27 an acre for the
land, owing to its location just out
side the city limits, and S27 was
thought to be q very high price for it.
Today he has refused $3.50 per acre
for that same land, has a pafatial
home. great barns and a long row Of
cottages for his men. He has about
1000 sashes for cold frames and keeps
them at work at this time of the year
in lettuce, which he is now shipping,
and in the spring beds sweet potatoes
Last spring he bedded 1000 bushels
Of sweet potatoes, and told me that
he had not enough plants to supply his
demand. as Jerseymen send here Tor
plants because they can get strong
plants earlier than there.
He plants large fields in strawbar-
ries solely for plants. as whatever
fruit he gets is considered only an in
cident, for when sales begin he digs
UP everything and rejects the old
plants, selling the young ones, and
thus keeps from having mixtures as
might occur from Old beds Last sea-
son he sold $4,000 worth of straw
berry plants, and his plants are known
all over the land. Recently 100000
went to Bermuda. He has made
fortune from absolutely nothing by
simple energy and pluck. Train loads
Of stable manure are brought down
from New York and Philadelphia, and
the burrows he is now running FOR
cantelounes and WatermelOns will be
11lled with this manure on winch Ter

He has his watermelon seed grown

do better than homegrown ones. an0 /
in all his work he goes on large /

plants every year in truck and berries. |
