By all means plant 8 winter COW

we consider the intelligence of the
average farmer, it is surprising how
few realize the importance of such a
crop. It.seems that the agitation
of this important matter will have
to continue for several years before
the great masses of farmers are
awakened to, its Importance; such
was the case when the agitation of;
the question Of deep plewing began
At first the average farmer paid lit
tie heed to the agitation by the agri-
cultural papers and press generally,
Finally, one or two in each neigh

the good results of the experiment.
and began to. plow deeper also,
while now there can scarcely be
found a farmer who does not own
one or more two-horse plows.
Winter covering crops not only
increase the fertility, particularly
when legumes are planted, but they
prevent washing and increase the
supply of.humus or vegetable matter.
If you feel that you cannot afford to
experiment with vetch and clover,
by all means SOW rye. Unless the
legumes are sown at once it will be
too late, but rye can be sown at
any time during Octoberrthe ear
lier the better, however. (.

creased fertility of the soil. With
land in its present rundown, impov-
erished condition, farmer feels
compelled to cultivate a large area,
and as labor is the. most expensive
item in making a crop, the results
obtained from the unproductiVe
lands cost too much. Increased fer
tility and the cultivation Of a smaller
area, thereby reducing the cost of
labor to minimum, will contribute
much toward making the Southern
farmer independent.
One of the most effective as well
as one of themost economic ways
of permanently enriching soil is by
a liberal application ofeBah yard
manure. In other words, keep a
large number, ;of cattle and make
your fertilizers during the winter
months. Cattle will not only decrease
the fertilizer bill but will give the
farmer something to sell during
the entire year.. w hen we see 1.

in every farmers home in the coun-
ty:
There is no questioning the fact
that no farm management can retain
its equilibrium without cattle.
Whether it be dairy cattle or those
of a beef breed must be settled by
the environment Of the farm, and
the taste of the owner, but cattle it
must be. The matter of proportion
and the exact niche they will fit in
to is the one that taxes the thinking
power. 1t quite frequently trans
.plres that for series of years the
cattle on farm are its best pro6ta-
BILE products. Yet in the long run
practical economy and final summing
up of results efectually settle the
question of permanent cattle keep
ing.
A speaker at recent public meet
ing brought out one OF, the strong
est arguments when he said: The
great source and means of maintain
ing the hefertility of,lands, according
to the worlds experience in agricul-
ture, is by the handling Of live
stock. No other means has been
demonstrated to be so effective, and
this is the method adopted in Eng
land and on the Continent. How
ever that may be the condition of
sentiment among farmers now is not
such that a margin based merely
upon maintaining the fertility of the
ia, m will appeal very strongly to
them: we don't yet fully appreciate
the Importance of that matter" You
cannot get away, from that.

Edgeaeid Oil Mill Operates as an
Independent Mill

.
Misunderstanding to, o,critioise or
find fault with any individual or set
of individuals, The Advertiser feels
constrained for the public good to
cali attention to certain conditions
that exist in Edgefeld, as seen by
one on the outside. .ss..T
a Tt viii be Eremembe mbered that IN
years gone By no criticism of any
past administration of the mill be-
ing intend led il was alleged time
and time again that the Edgefeld
oil mill was in comb alton or acted
in collusion with other mills to keep
the price of cotton seed below that
paid in other towns in this section.
In fact, the writer distinctly, re-
calls one occasion when the small
towns on the Augusta and Knox
vile road paid more for seed, with
the freight added than was icing
paid blythe mill and other buyers
here at Edgefeld. We do not
charge that combination ever ex-
listed, but the. farmers and others
entertained the belief that the price
of seed was, during a large portion
of the time, controlled by agree
mentor through concert of action
on the part of the mills that bought
seed on the Edgefeld market.
1t is currently believed that the
policy Of the large wealthy compa-
mics owning a number of mills has
been to whip the local or indepen-
dent mills into line, or declare war
upon them and drive them out of
business. Then, with the small or
local mill closed down, the large
mills can buy seed practically at
their own price. We understand
that Aiken has had such an expe-
rience. An Independent mill was op-
Grated in the town of Aiken years
several years ago but finally had to
succumb, discontinuing operation
together.
!. The Edgefeld oil mill was sold
last summer, and, under the new
mznagement, entered the seed mark
ct at the, opening of the present sea-
as anindependent mill. While we do
not know who brought it about. yet
it is true that what is commonly
known as a seed war" has been pre-
cipitated, The price of seed has
been several cents per bushel higher
on the. Edge6eld market than has
prevailed in most of the towns in
this section. 1t is not only the cur
rent belief. but circumstances point
to the fact that the high prices are
maintained at this particular point
by some of the larger mills in orde..
to make the Edgefeld mill suffer.
A certain mill declined:to pay SO
cents per bushel for seed in Aiken
last week and purchased them in
Edgefeld the same day at 80 cents,
with freight rates to the two points.
