FLFs IN BALES OF COTTON
WHh4itE OHE GREW BEFORE.
BY r. W. THOMPSON.

Farmers Bulletin NO. 3o4 bv the
United States Department of Agri-
culture gives a most interesting ac-
count OF cotton farm in South Car
DINA which was content with a yield
OF 800 pounds of seed cotton per acre
(abOut, tW o-tenths OF a baie) until it
fell into the hands Of man who
knew how to make it yield 2.27 bales
per acre. This is increasing the yield
eleven fold
Rotation Of crops, deep ploughing
and high fertilization for several years
worked the miracle.
Cattle were fed on the products of
the farm (the cotton seed being eX-
changed for cotton seed meaD, and
the resultant manure, seven tons in
combination with Sl5 pounds Of COM
mercial fertilizers, were applied per
acre. The entire cost of the manure
and fertilizer per acre is given as
$22.75 in the year 1908. This is an
expenditure for fertilizing Of about
$1,000 per bale Of cotton produced
1t is a most miraculous Illustration of
the profit to q cotton planter of the
intensive part of fertilization.
a bale of cotton with the seed is
now worth $500 II 4 farmer can
make $500 by the expenditure of
$1,000 in fertilizer Con credit at that)
there would be no use in going to the
farther end Of the rainbow for his
bag OF gold.
Last year, the United States planted
thirty-tWo million acres in cotton. IL
the entire area yielded like the model
South Carolina farm, we would make
q crop of over Seventy-tWO million
bales This is more cotton than the
world now needs, but there is no rea-
son why We should spread the need
full crop OF say eleven million bales
over thlrty-tWo millions acres. The
intensive yield of 2.27 bales per acre
on five million acres would do the
trick At this rate the State of
Georgia could raise the whole crop.
This year, the crop of cotton and
seed is going to bring close TO q bill
lion dollars.
The bulletin gives interesting de-
tails of the methods, which are simple
the reduction Of the stand in leaving
the plant four feet apart in five-fooI
rows. BY this arrangement only
about 1900 plants could stand on an
acre; each plant, therefore. has TO
yield about l IL pounds Of seed cot
ton. This would mean something
like so bOilS per stalk. AS the ay-
erage plant throughout the country
bears only ten to fifteen bo1ls this
wonderful South Carolina field in full
fruitage would be we'll worth seeing.
Incidentally, this farm Of sc acres,
grew corn, oats and other things,
which brought UP the total value Of
the 1908 crop, to s5.862.71.

WILL THE SOUTH Be MADE THE
DUPE OF BIG PACKING HOUSES? /?

never have been an oleomargarine
question. With perfect fairness it
may be positively stated that Oleo-
margarine has not beer placed on
the market on a legitimate basis. 1t
has not been offered to the consuming
public as oleomargarine, but has been
made in imitation of butter, and large
~ sold as such
So notorious was this fraud upon
the public that extra ordinary meas
ures were necessary and justified, to
prevent that fraud 1t is we'll estab-
llshed principle in such matters that
extraordinary measures are justified
III order to prevent great frauds,
hence the tax on colored oleo.
All the material and moral interests
of The South, including the oil mill
interests, are wholly on the side of
the dairymen in their efforts to force
oleomargarine to be sold for what it
actually is, clean, wholesome
iood product; but not butter. I
have a right to buy oleomar-
garine if | want to, but no
man has right to sell me oIeO-
margarine or butterine real butter.
This the oleomargarine people persist
in doing until extraordinary measures
are necessary and justified to prevent
the continuance Of the fraud.
The amount of cotton seed Oil used
in the manufacture Of oleomargarine
is insignificant, while the interest of
the South in building up live stock
industry is monumental. The build
ing up of a dairy industry in the
South is of such vital and far-reach
ing Importance to our agricultural de-
velopment that in arraying themselves
on the side Of oleomargarine against
the dairy and honest food interests,
the newspapers of the South, our con
gressmen, the commercial Organiza-
tionS of our cities, and cotton oil men
are accepting the shadow for the sub
stance and doing the agricultural and
commercial interests Of the South
vast and far-reaching injury.

TO EXTERNINATE THE WILD
ONION
(Statesville Landmark.


AS the wild onion lAliium vineale)
has become such Il pest in this sec
ton / have been trying to find some
means of determination. There has
just come to hand bulletin from
the Bureau of Plant Industry, which
seems to give a reasonable method Of
eradication. The bulletin was got
ten up by Mr.. J. S. Gates. q North
Carolina boy who is now with the De-
partment Of Agriculture and whose
business it is to discover methods of
eradication of noXious weeds. Mr..
Gates has made a special study OF the
wild onion and I will give the read
ers of the Landmark his method for
what it is worth.
There are two kinds of wild onions,
one with soft bulbs which grow up
in the fall, and another with hard
bulbs which puts up late in winter
or early spring. To get the soft
bulb onions, disk the land well in
the fall, when the plants have reach
ed a height of eight or ten inches,
then turn the land with big plow
deeply. Then to catch the hard bulb
onions. repeat this operation in the
spring. Follow with some cultivated
crop or sow the land in peas. In
some instances this will have tao be
repeated.
This will not be hard to do and I
hope some OF our farmers who are
bothered with this pest will try it.

"Scotciing for the Preacher

During a trial this week for the dis
turbance OF public worship, good
old brother and memb Der of the church
was kindly disposed in his testimony
in regard to the charge against the
young men. He said he heard the ut
terances of the young men, but Just
thought that they were scotching for
the preacher" He was asked to ex-
plain to his honor and the jury what
he meant by the term s'scOtching." He
said that when the preacher would
''get on d good roall' they would ut

the hearty Amen is going out of date

THE, OLEOM. LAW.

To the Editor: l think there are
some things our senator, Hon. +. M.
Simmons, has failed to take into con-
sideration regarding the tax on oleo-
margarine, and substituting therefor
tax on the manufactures and deal
ers. It's effect on the consumer
would not be as he seems to think.
His bill provides for the repeal OF all
taxes on the manufacture ana sale OF
oleomargarine and substitutes a tax
of six hundred dollars on the manu-
factures and four hundred and eighty
dollars on the wholesale dealer and
forty-eight on the retail dealer annu-
ally.
The six hundred dollar tax that the
manufacturer would be called on to
pay would practically put the manu-
facturers in class to themselves
with few manufactures to *.terfere
and would enable them to form
trust the equal of any that ever prey
ed on a people. The four hundred
and eighty dollar tax the wholesale
dealer would pay, and the forty eight
dollar tax the retail dealer would pay
would eliminate competition in their
respective fields, and would enable
them, coupled with the manufacturer
to realize an enormous profit and that
poor men that everybody wants to
help, and does help so little would
have to pay the bill I would like
for the poor Southern farmer. for OF
such am l. to realize every thing pos
sible for his cotton seed products ana
there is no doubt but the tax Of ten
cents levied on cOlOred oleomargarlne
was done in the interest Of the North
ern man, as to that we all agree.
Oleomargarine in it's natural state
is not a popular food, yet the colorinS
used does not effect its taste Or smell,
therefore the commercial importance
is based on the color. With the tax
on colored oleomargarine removed.
and q high tax levied on the manu-
factures and seller put them in con-
troll of the situation. It not only en-
ables the manufacturer to make his
own price, but he is in position to
dictate prices to the oil mills as we'll.
He can put it on the market few
cents below pure butter and demoral-
ize the market the country over. and
nobody be benefited but the manu-
facturer and his cohorts. It would
seem that cotton seed oil has mad
much trouble to become established
as a food production IN any form'
having in every case TO nave 10 as
sumo a disguise to show it's worth as
food for man. However, the con-
sumer is in no way defrauded. as 1t
gives him value received. Should
Congress repeal the tax on OleOmar-
garine, and retain the other provisions
as to it's purity, stamp and etc. we
should have cheap food producl.
In that way the South might realize
as much from the increased demand
for cotton seed oil as it would lose
through it's dairy interests, granted
that the oil mills shared profits with
the producers Of seed. He could sci!
his oil in the open market with every
man q manufacturer Of Oleomargarlne
that cared TO be and it would be pos
sible for the people of every State 70

South be in a position to enjoy her
own.
