Our Cotton is Better Than Egyptian.
(The Cotton Journal.)

(The Cotton Journal.)
: A subscriber has made inquiry con-
corning the worlds supply of cotton
which would be ffected by the tariff
Without going into minute details,
received from the growth Of 1908 cot
ton as follows: Sc per cent was fur
-nished by the United States: Is per
cent from India: Z per cent from
Egypt, and 4 per cen from Russia.
The total number Of bales produced
that entered into factory supplies ag-
gregated 19,574,OOO or more than
5000, 600 over 1907.
The United States imported for the
year ending August 81, 1908, 143,49O
bales, each Weighing 500 pounds, and
122,170 bales come from Egypt. The
Egyptian cotton comes in competition
with our sea island cotton, aggre-
eating for 1905 1888 bales. and the
staple grown in the Mississippi
Delta, a region some Is miles wide
by 200 miles long, aggregating about
100000 bales.
We produce in the United States
a grade Of cotton superior to the
Egyptian, as the following prices
clearly demonstrate. The average
price of Georgia and Florida sea island
cotton 19O8) was 1892 per pound,
South Carolina, sea island 1888,
Egyptian Cat Boston) 1925, and the
long staple grown in the Mississippi
Delta varies from 5 to 10 cents per
pound more than upland middling.

inquiring mind. what has become of
our river of goldl' The answer is
easy, through ignorance and lack of
intelligent organized effort. we have
actually given it away For, if you
take away from the returns the
of land values-and the earth
was here when we commenced to
make this great wealth-we have very
little left to show for the billions of
dollars that lave passed through our
500, 900, 900 received in the
past ten years in the Southern States
from the production and sale of cotton
and cotton seed alone. And the other
millions received from the sale Of
peaches, melons, vegetables and other
products of Southern farms!
What has gone with all the gold
received? Through lack of intelli-
gent organization. most of these vast
sums have been thrown away! And
why? We might as we'll confess
an honest confession is not alone good
for the SOul-but also for the mind,
body and pocketbook. No error or
mistake has ever e corrected until
those who have made it can be
awakened and made to see the errors
they have made! And ignorance is
the father, not only Of all our troubles,
but crime!'
Mr.. Scott made a strong appeal for
organization, and in truth there is
great need Of educated organization,
intelligent effort and the requirement
of that broad knowledge of affairs
on the part of our farmers which will
enable them to know how and when to
market their imperial crop.

Poultry Yard Notes.

Buttermilk ranks next to skim
milk in feeding values.
All of the elements in skim milk are
digestible and rich in bone and blood
making material.
Feed the hens plenty of good. bulky.
nutritious food made up of egg materi-
ais or fat forming materials depending
on whether you wish them TO lay or
to prepare them for market, but avoid
drugs.
Wood ashes should not be thrown
into the poultry yard. 1t will bleach
out and injure the shanks and toes OF
the fowls, and it is a waste of good
fertilisi1g material that ought to go
in the garden.
A clean poultry house puts money
into h farmers or poultry raiser's
pocket.
Chickens are fond of sour milk, and
it is good for them.
No matter how much people may
sheer you a make good money with
poultry at present prices for eggs and
fowls. If you do not the fault is all
your own.

Handling the Tomato Crop.

The most important part of the ham
ding of a tomato crop is the picking.
sorting and packing. II wisely and
carefully done, the results will be very
satisfactory.
In handling my tomato crop / first
go through the field searching closely
for all smooth, sound tomatoes just in
the turning stage@that is, with a
slight shade of redneSs in color, yet
green and firm.
I never pick any cracked or disfig-
ured tomatoes to ship to market.
I place only smooth, uniform speci-
mems in the crate baskets on their
sid es, with the blossom ends up, SO as
to show to the best advantage.
I do not crate anything but No. Is
in a No. 1 package and No. 2 quality
in No. 2 packages. Anything inferior
to No. 2 will not pay to crate. By OBJ
serving this rule. / am saved the cost
of many crates, also the transporter
ton charges on them, as well as the
of putting them up, and obtain
better prices for what / ship.
When picking for the market I ain
to pick only No. I fruit, then when
packing there is not much No. 2 fruit
to pack.
BY not picking the cracked or disfig-
ured fruit green, but letting it re-
main on the vines to ripen to the right
stage for the canning factory, more
money can usually be realised from
it than if packed to ship.-W. H. IN

Practical Pigeon House.

This is a pigeon house and flying
pen for SQUAD raising. The house is
II feet wide and 26 feet long, divided
into three rooms 12x12 feet and an
a~lleyway our feet wide.
The nests somewhat resemble gro
Gerry shelving. The partitions are about
ten inches on the centers and the
shelves ten inches between all, and
movable to facilitate cleaning.
The flying pen is covered with a
medium mesh chicken wire. Each pen
and corresponding part of the house
has room enough for sixty. or sixty
five pairs of pigeons.
The house should be set up On posts
to keep out rats and mice, and the
walls should be single-sided. The
windows shown etWee the flying pen
and the nesting rooms have only one
glass in each place and need be only
one sash wide.
A house of this size can be built for
about 5000.

Nothing pleases us better thar to be

have big yields or know of them will
send them in to us. It encourages the
other boys to do better. The follow
ing are wonderful yields for this sec
ton:
r. w. Scott. on three acres threshed
Z25 bushels of oats. We get this in
formation from the man in charge or
the threshing. This is a splendid
yield, and Mr.. Scott, who is considered
one of the best farmers in the State, is
entitled to that distinction. because
this was raised on land that at n
time was as poor AS any in the county.
He has brought it out by good farm
ing.
The other yield is made by Rev. j..
r. Newlin Of near Saxpahaw. On
ten acres he raised $50 bushels OF
wheat. This is a wonderful record and
as long as our armer make his kind

a COTTON CHANCE.
Manufacturers Record.)


Luthur Burbank has been requested
by the Legislature to include the cot
ton plant in his experiments. The eX-
peCtation seems to be that the Califor-
MAN who has accomplished such won
ders in the breeding of other plants
may produce a cotton Of longer and
more even fiber than tina now general
ly raised in the South. Success at that
WOu1d vastly increase the SOuth's cot
ton crop, but it is hoped that the reso-
luton may direct Luther Burbank's
attention to a chance as to cotton,
which,, if seized, would, it is believed,
work a revolution greater even than
the mechanical wheat reaper. Nature
marked out this chance -four or five
years ago in Northern Texas when
November frosts first nipped the tops
Of growing cotton plants and then
later ended the growth Of the plant
before the bolls had completely open
ed. AS was pointed out at that time
by the Manufactures Record, the nip
of the top of the plant seemed to
hasten the development Of the bolls
already formed, and when these were
put through a t%hreshing machine
modified slightly the results were 50
satisfactory that cotton plants that
otherwise would nave been neglected
added about 100000 to the total
value Of the Gro that year.
Ever since then we have endeavored
to interest the agricultural expert
ment stations in the several cotton
states to elaborate upon natures nip
ping Of the cotton plants for the pur-
pose of discovering whether the cot
ton plant may not be SO treated me-
chanically as to insure a Simultan-
eOuS %ripening of practically all bOllS.
Such a mechanical treatment, the cha
racter of which might be determined
.o 81
stages of growth, would necessarily
tend to reduce to some extent the
number of bOlls on each plant,
though it might improve the quality
of the remaining ones. But the loss
in number, even though there might
be no Improvement in quality,
would if the experiment should work
out according to this conception, be
far more than made up by the ire
economies made possible in
the harvesting Of h crop. These
economies would permit a wider area
of cotton cultivation and such a di-
minution in the cost of making the
crop that it could be sold at lower
prices than those prevailing and still
yield larger profits than at present to
the
The economies in handling involve
the invention of the thresher gin and
the cotton reaper. These inventions
mean the real picking OF cotton away
from the fields. All Of the expert
mental contemplating cling to the
idea of picking the cotton in the fields.
It may be possible hat the picker
which is to revolutionize the cotton
growing industry will handle indoors

machine which will be a modification

Cotton and Rotation of
Crops

LAS I do not plant on high beds
the weeder and light harrOws are
used after planting land before or
about the time the cotton begins to
break the ground, and again just as
soon as I can get to it. Thus chop
ping is made easy. The good work
with c~ultivators finishes the crop with
but little hoeing. Yes, I expect to
cultivate as late as the first Of August,
or later if needed.
THAT is the way I make my cotton.
Rotate crops, build soil and make corn,
then oats and peas, and then a big
crop Of cotton, then swing back into
the same round again. BY having
the farm divided up into the three
sections there is always oom for each
of these crops without having the
same n OF any field twice in success
sion.
We'll, yes, it pays. The corn, oats
and hay that / sell will just abOu
cover the entire expense Of the farm,
thus leaving the cotton as clear profit.
This year [ expect to make fOrty-five
to fifty bales Of cotton. I planted for
sixty to seventy, but will fall short
thirty to t~hirty-five per cent"

 Justice Burdick, in putting the de- fendant under bond, severely lecUured the complainant, stating that she had harassed and provoked the Pelly wo- man, into making the threat. He said if the King woman got into difficulties again over the trouble he would see that she paid a heavy fine and weno to jail besides.
 The troubIe arose over room-rent proposition, the Pelly woman claiming the Mrs. King owed her considerable sum. This started The fight in the street, for which both women paid fines Monday night aggregating over $50 in Justice Highs court.

MOVEMENTS ON !. K. TRAIL
 BEGUN

After wait of more than six months right of way for the O. K. trail roadway has been secured and the city forces are now at work upon it. The work is expected to be com pleted within two months and this, the last of the large Improvements which have been under way in the city for the last year and half will te ready for traffic.
 The work of broadening the small trail into a roadway was begun last March. It included the erection of several concrete retaining walls and the expenditure of large sums. Upon the completion of the work 10 the Star Lodging house. the property of s. K Williams, the right of way. sup. posed to have been obtained previous- ly, was denied Dicker after dicker was attempted with Williams and the Wright Brothers. owners of property adjoining Williams Until witnin ue last few weeks, however. the matter was continually held in abeyance. An agreement appealing to the city and to the property owners as equable was finally hit upon and deed to the nee essary ground given. The roadway when completed will give access to the greater part of Youngblood hill, not now touched by a street.
 The retaining wall and roadway OF Jones Hill, on the Naco Road, are practically completed and ready to turn over to the city.
 It is the plan of Street Superintend- ent P. J. Mccullough, to erect iron fences upon the tops of retaining walls which have been put in place all over the city. While this would involve the expenditure of app,U.si- mately s5.0oO it would probably be cheap Co the city in the end as un protected, the walls are a constant menace to the drivers and pedestri ans, upon dark nights.
