TO LEND MONEY
ON COTTON CROP
Georgia Banks and Farmers
Union Reach Agreement Where
by Cotton Farmer Is Assured of
Is Cents for His Crop.

Through an agreement with many of the
banks of this state, 1t will now be pos
sible for the Georgia cotton farmer to
borrow enough money to meet all his
present and pressing obligations and still
hold on to his cotton until the staple shall
reach the coveted price of IL cents.
This announcement Is officially made
by r. F. Duckworth, chairman Of the
executive committee Of the Farmers
union, who is authority for the state
ment that this agreement between the
banks and the farmers will go into effec:
at once.
The prime and principal object of the
Farmers union for several years past
has been to secure not only a reasonable
price for, the cotton grown by its mem
bers, but to insure a steady, reliable
market devoid Of fluctuations and i'm
nhune from manipulation.
Much Of the cotton in Georgia Il
stored in warehouses owned and con-
trolled by the Farmers union, and the
agreement on the part of the banks of
the state to advance the ready cash shows
that absolute confidence is placed in the
Farmers union by the financial interests
Of the state.
According to the plan as outlined by
Mr.. Duckworth, the banks prpose to
advance money on cotton stored in Farm
ers' union warehouses up to 13 cents per
pound, per cent being charged for the
use of the money.
Hitherto one of the greatest handicaps
under which the cotton farmers of Geor-
gia labored has been his shortness OF
ready money. Poor prices and added ex-
penses in producing a crop In a previous
year has heretofore been such a heavy
drain upon the cash resources Of the
grower that even with strong prices as
sured in the future he has been compell-
ed to sell out at forced prices in order
to meet immediate and pressing demands
for cash.
The ability to obtain from the banks,
upon his warehouse receipts this money
at a price that precludes the possibility
of a loss to himself or the bank lending
the money, places the farmer in a posi-
ton from which he may view with en-
tire equanimity the manipulations Of the
men who juggle the market, secure IN
the comforting knowledge that he is i'm
mune from danger.
With his cotton safely housed In ware
houses under control of the Farmers
union, and with enough money In his
pocket to meet all immediate demands,
the Georgia cotton farmer may now en-
Joy in perfect safety the knowledge that
he will, with absolute certainty, receive
IS cents at least for his crop, despite the
efforts on the part of buyers to force the
price of the staple down to improbable
figures

ADMIRAL SCHLEY
RECALLS ENGAGEMENT

NEW YORK, Oct. pa naval expedi-
ton that brought honor to the American
flag and added an empire to civilization,
but which resulted in the death of nearly
5000 Koreans. was the subject of an adj
dress by Rear Admiral Winfield Scott
Schley on Our Navy in the Hermit En-
pire."
In recalling the incident, little remem-
bered by Americans, Admiral Schley re-
lated how, on May 16, 1871, he was with
Rear Admiral Rogers, who with seven
American war vessels went to Korea to
investigate the loss of the American
steamer, General Sherman, the crew of
which had been murdered.
1.-The Koreans would give us no infor-
nation and when we entered the river
leading up to Seoul, they opened fire on
u.s." said Admiral Schley. I'VE landed
900 men with a number of guns and
they attacked the citadel. which con-
tanned 5000 Koreans. For an hour and
40 minutes there was a slaughter, the
like of which was seldom witnessed be-
fore. Not ten of the 5000 escaped. Some
were buried under falling roofs and
burned to death while some were blown
into the river. Eighteen months after
that, a commission of Koreans arrived in
Washington to negotiate a treaty"

There is a difference, therefore. OF 10
pounds in nitrogen, 40 pounds of phosphor-
&c acic and p pounds Of potash. Is IL
any wonder that the one farmer who has
used no Vegetable matter under his soil,
no potash to correct the tendency TO rust
on his land, and such a meager amount
OF plant food should be securing this
year from one-quarter to one-half bale
per acre in the vicinity OF where this
magnificent yield was obtained?
The reader may ask, why use so much
nitrogen? To give groVth and vigor to
the plant. Why so much ,phosphoric acid
To insure the uniform development Of
the seed and the early maturity Of the
crop. Why so much potash? To supply
the element necessary in the elaboration
and transference OF starch and to pre-
vent the crop rusting. which has been a
common complaint in many localities the
past season and has resulted in great
loss TO the cotton growers.
Why not grow two bales OF cotton per
acre instead Of growing two bales on
eight acres, as many are now doing?
Would II not be better to concentrate the
use OF the fertilizer and thee effort on
one acre and secure a large yield OF
superior hber and seed rather than to
waste so much energy on eight acres
and secure so little in return, as is be-
ING uOhe Dy many WIN cultivate the SUI
The secret is liberal fertilization with
the ESSENTIAL elements of plant food. and
the use Of Vegetable matter to enable the
retention OF moisture in the soil through
out the season. Any farmer can follow
the method herein suggested. and II he
practices II faithfully, he can certainly
increase his yields very materially.
In conclusion. 1t should be stated that
the cotton patch I'm question has not
yielded all that ii will yield, since il has
only been picked twice, whereas. the cot
ton grown on impoverished soils is all out
long ago. The success of the farmer in
question is also due I'm great measure to
the fact that he plowed his land very
deeply and prepared 1t well in advance OF
planting the crop.

bound to reach famine prices. Speak
ing of the recent curtailment of pro-
duction by the mills, the senator to-
day said:
The curtailment by the mills IL
not because Of the high price OF the
staple nor the depression in the price
of goods, but because the spinners see
that there Is not to be cotton erougn
to keep tho mills busy until the next
crop, and shutting down is Anevs-
table. They make a convenience Of
necessity now in the hope sucn action
will depress cotton while they buy
greedily wherever they can, despite
their agreement.
The farmers now have an opportun
fly to see how corporations stick to
their organizs ton when business inter
ests demand individual action. as was
the case With the farmer when he
rushed his cotton to market, to their
amusement, despite the farmers or

CARE OF THE ROSE GARDEN.

CARE OF THE ROSE GARDEN.
]. G., Fort Gates, Fla, writes what Is me
best fertilizer for roses and what is the nesl
way to care for them? l... .
There is nothing better for the enrichment of
the rose garden than well rotted farmyard NAH
ure. This may be applied in large quantities,
TO the extent In fact, of one-fourth Of the total
volume OF soil with which It is to be mixed.
In selecting land for roses a clay loan we'll
drained will generally give the best results.
Jhis should ge enriched, as suggested, with
iarmyard manure, and then thoroughly spaded
so as to reduce 1t to fine friable condition.
If the soil is vary sandy IL might be necessary
to add some phosphates and potash, but as a
rule this will hardly be necessary for roses,
Since their beauty depends chiefly on vigorous
and continuous growth, which, in turn, depends
on a liberal supply Of heterogeneous material
Scattering nitrate of soda over the surface OF
the ground may often be resorted to, but where
farmyard manure can be used as suggested,
better results will follow than from any other
practice with which acquainted. While
COW manure may be used in large quantities
directly on the rose bed, some discretion should
be exercised where horse manure Is used as 1t
is much more heating in nature, and II is un-
desirable to mix it with the soil unless it has
been fermented to some extent and a part OF
the heat thus lost.
Roses may set out in the fall soon after the
leaves have fallen, and If budded stock is used
the plants should be set deep enough to cover
the union &c depth Of about two inches. A
large opening in the ground should be made for
setting the plant and some manure and leaf
mold may be mixed In the bottom OF the open
ing. The roots should be carefully spread ont
and any broken ones removed. Weak growing
roses should be pruned more severely than strong
growing ones. Climbing roses require but CON-
paratively little pruning. The weak branches
should be removed and the tips shortened. For
hardy and vigorous varieties cutting back one
fourth to one-third in the late winter or early
spring is all that is needed. Sometimes a little
pruning IN May or June after the most vigorous
Towering season will encourage summer and
fall blooming Severe pruning, however, only
induces a more vigorous growth OF leaf ana
