NEED OF MORE COTTON MILLS.
Several Are Being Constructed In the
South and More Are Promised
for Texas.

A few years ago d. A. Tompkins,
author of Cotton Mill Processes and
Calculations, made a collection of
cloth samples and arranged them to
show the value of cotton when con-
verted into cloth. He used the figures
a half million bales, good North
Carolina crop, and reckoning it as raw
material at the normal average of six
cents per pound or $50 bale, shows
it would be worth s15,000.000. He
then says: Half a million bales Of
cotton in the shape of ten-ounce duck
would bring s35.000,000. or nearly
2h times in value in the raw state.
The crop of the country-say 11,000,-
600 bales-if manufactured into this
goods and sold at this price, would
show a gain over the raw price Of
over $500, 900 900, or over five dollars
per capita for all the people Of the
United States. To manufacture the
entire cotton crop into duck would be
a misfortune somewhat akin to selling
the entire crop in its raw state, but cot
ton may be made into numerous other
forms, to produce even greater values.
would bring the wealth of the cotton
crop to many millions more. The ar
gument resolves itself into question
of proper education and thrift, to turn
q possible cotton crop into thousands
Of times the money now realized on 1t
by the people who produce it."
His argument is for more cotton
mills In the south and there are more
mills being built in southern states
and more are promised for Texas.

new COTTON PICKER
LONG BEEN AN URGENT NEED OF
THE SOUTH.
Many Machines Have Been Invented,
But None Proved Successful; One
Recently Patented Promises to Fill
the Bill In a Satisfactory Manner.

A practical cotton picker has long
been one of the most urgent needs Of
the south, and many devices have been
invented to satisfy the demand. None
has in the past proved successful; but
> recently patented apparatus de-
scribed in the Inventive Age Is said
by those who have seen it to be so en-
urely satisfactory in its operation that
4 fortune may be predicted for the
lucky inventor. The machine consists
Of frame on four wheels, with two
chain elevators mounted on the frame
at an angle of As degrees. The ap-
paratus is drawn by horses, and the
forward movement is compensated for
by the backward movement of the
elevator chain, and these two partly
reverse movements create the third
or perpendicular movement for the
pickers. These stroke the cotton
plant directly upward. The chain ele-
vators are made up Of a series Of
tubes, in each Of which a picker Is
concealed. These pickers are shaped
like bayonet, with horsehair teeth
on their edges. AS the apparatus
moves forward, the chain passes
around the sprocket wheels, and at
the bottom of the elevator cam,
placed across the chain, catches the
pickers and pushes them out of the
tubes into the lower part of the cot
ton plant. Each picker is provided at
its base with small gear wheel which
engages a toothed rack and revolves
as the picker comes out of the tube. At
the top of the elevator second
them back into the tubes again, this
movement also stripping them of the
cotton and dropping it into a con-
veyor. The picking spindles, with their
horse-hair teeth, seem to search out
the ripe bolls and take the lint from
them, leaving the unripe and infiicting
no injury on the fiber or plant. In
operation, the machine straddles cot
ton row and the pickers revolve rap
idly through the plant from the bot
tom upward. The moment they touch
a ripe boil they pull the cotton out
The ease and thoroughness with
which the machine operates have very
strongly impressed and interested
parties who have had the opportunity
of seeing it in action, and 1t is fair to
assume that 1t will shortly be enjoy
ing an extended field of application. the
expense Of installation being very
soon overcome by the increased speed
attained.

For Wounds on Trees.

The California Cultivator says the
following mixture was used on trees
three years ago and Is still in good
condition: One part crude petroleum
to three parts of resin; warm in sep
arate dishes, mix and apply warm to
cuts made by pruning or by cultivator
injury. While this mixture is not bet
ter than grating wax, it is much
cheaper and is worthy of trial.
II owners of trees would realize
the importance of keeping the bark
whole and unbroken on their trees
and treat all wounds promptly, they
would save much loss from so-called
wound fungi" which are ever abun-
dant and ready to take possession and
cause decay. Wounds that should be
treated are of various origin, and
those to the body of the tree are most
important, though injuries to large
limbs very often spread downward.
A large limb cut on. with the stub
left unprotected. supplies good place
for these fungi to enter, and the end
of life of tho tree is FASTENED by the
hollow body resulting from decaying
branches. Branches are injured at
picking time by boot heels and lad
ders. wind breaks branches; hail
storms and sunscaled rupture the
bark, and the bodies are often bruised
by wagons or other farm tools.

Delivering Cream.

The frequency of cream delivery de-
ponds largely on the distance from the
station and the ability OF the patron
to keep his cream sweet. Although It
is believed that with proper care on
the farm the cream can be delivered
from 80 to " hours old In a sweet
condition, the general rule should be
to deliver 1t just a. soon - possible
after thorough cooling.

With a dizziness acquired by long

place he opened it.
The contents had been wrapped with

The Value Of the Peanut.

Not until after the war was the
peanut recognized as a commercial
commodity. In seeking for some new
crop through which the condition Of
farming in the south was to be bene-
flied, the farmers hit upon the pea
nut and they have cultivated 1t with
increasing success during the past
forty years.
The crop in 1908. 1t is said. brought
to the southern farmer $12,00o.000.
That s12,0O0,000 was worth picking
up. In a certain sense it is side
issue, a by-product; but 1t is a bust
ness that is still in its infancy. The
world is constantly demanding larger
nut crops. The food value of the nut
is getting a wider recognition every
year.
What the south needs is to give
more attention to the peanut and TO
crops like the peanut. 1t needs to
give more attention, moreover, to the
pecan tree. You can get crop OF
peanuts every year. It takes about
ten years to get a merchantable crop
from the pecan tree. The difference
is that once the trees begin to yield
the value of that crop increases year
by year largely from its own inner
ent labor; whereas the peanut crop
has to be planted every year. The
agricultural department has issued q
pamphlet on the peanut and 1t sug
gests that in the boil weevil district
peanuts will make a more profitable
crop than cotton.
