Millions Saved by Better Handling of
Cotton.

Interest in better methods of han
ding cotton is on the increase. A
correspondent of ours from Conyers,
Ga, writes us as follows:
THE compress people and buyers
here deduct s100 per bale for
yards (2ia pounds) bagging. The
only way for farmers to get around
this robbery is to place congresses
at their gins and then pack an Amer
lean bale as it should be compressed
and packed We lose s400,000,000
every ten years by not properly
packing a bale OF cotton"
Our correspondent also sends US n
copy of notable speech by Editor
l.. f. Scott. of the Conyers Free
Press. from which the following
striking extract IL taken. Says Mr..
Scott:
I'VE can save $500. 100000 to
$500, 900 In the next ten years
by Just simply learning to properly
pack, compress and wrap bale OF
cotton. We pay 50 bale or $20.-
100000 year just because we do
not properly pack each bale of cotton
and compress IT at the gin. We have
In our ignorance really thought we
were being paid for the wrapping on

Why Not Cut Up the Corn?

Messrs. Editors: II corn stalks are
left standing In the field to get hard
and dry 1t will take much labor to cut
or break them fine enough to work
well the next season, and take at
least a whole year to rot and get
into condition to return to the soil
the potash, phosphorus, humus. etc,
they took out OF the soil in growing.
II the same stalks are cut up when
ears are glazed we'll and chopped fine
or shredded and fed to stock and the
parts not eaten used for bedding, SO
they will be kept soft. they will be
decayed in time to give full benefit
to the land the following season. Why
do we not cut up our corn stalks and

Boil Weevil Advice.

The fight against the weevil
has not progressed far enough for its
effectiveness to become fully appar-
ent. But one lesson has, or should
have been. impressed on the man
who has been compelled to pick
closely the weevils and punctured
squares in his field, and that is the
urgent need of so reducing the
emerging weevils as to minimize the
expense and trouble of picking them.
The only way to do this effectively
is by burning all cotton stalks be-
fore frost in the fall.
Hundreds and thousands of Vice.
wills have appeared in the fields in
weevil sections this spring. and the
expense and trouble of picking them
has often been a very considerable
item. However. II was one of the
effective means of fighting the pest.
and every farmer who has carefully
followed this practice will profit
by it.
By destroying your stalks In the
fall at a cost of so cents an acre. you
can very greatly reduce the cost OF
picking weevils and punctured
squares in the spring, and practical
ly assure your cotton crop.
Further, the expense OF picking
weevils this year has been compare
lively light. on account of our very
cold winter. BY June 90 this year.
following a cold winter. only per
cent OF over-wintered wsevils had
emerged from Information: while one
year ago, following a mild winter.
over 90 per cent. or Ave times as
many. had emerged by the same
date.
Hence, where stalks are not de-
stroyed the average expense OF pick
ing weevils and squares will very
likely be much greater than this
year.
We are always going TO make cot
ton in Mississippi. but the sooner the
grower realizes that a smaller acre
age, fall destruction OF stalks and
picking weevils and squares, and
rapid, intensive methods are essen
tial, the better II will be for all con-
cerned.-B. l.. Moss. District Agent

out of the pasture than in 1t.
The Pasture a Place to Grow Grass.
Leave only few shade trees in
the pasture, get rid of every other
sort of plants except grass and clover.
l am asking for pasture not only in
the hill section of our country, but
in the so-called level sections as we'll.
/ have travelled over much of the
Cotton Belt and in every section
everywhere, have seen unnumbered
acres-a little rolling, devoid of hui
mus-that were making nothing but
poverty for those working them.
These washing lands should be en-
riched with legumes, then planted in
Bermuda grass and white clover, and
on them grazed dairy cows. sheep.
hogs, and stock beef cattle for winter
feeding.
Don't say these cotton lands are
too valuable for pasture. | have seen
thousands Of acres Of these rolling
lands that were not producing 100
pounds of cotton per acre and costing
more work each year than the entire
crop was worth. to say nothing OF
the cost of fertilizer applied.
Where are these lands located? In

Seorgia, Alabama and Mississippi

|manent pasture grasses these lands
will become valuable. l have seen
some OF them so treated and they
are priced by their owners, and what

some fall grain will help increase the
yield Of feed. A very light harrow
or a weeder is the proper tool with
which to cover the grass and clover
seeds.
The third year this pasture will be
helped by thoroughly cutting the sod
and tearing the Bermuda up well.
When molested in this way the
plants seem to get the idea that the
farmer is trying to rid himself of
them, and as theirs is perverse ma
tnre, they take hold with a fresh
zeal. A few loads of manure scat
tered thinly over the poorer portions
of the pasture before this cutting is
done will aid very much to thicken
the sod.
Wherever lespedeza will grow it is
a plant that will add very largely to
the amount of feed that can be pro-
duced on the pasture, and will also.
because Of its nitrogen gathering
habit, greatly enrich the soil in this
element. And the grass plants feed
ing upon the decay Of the lespedeza.
will secure nitrogen sufficient to en-
able them to increase their product
i've capacity from year to year.
On the poorer Of these lands ii
may be necessary to apply light
dressing Of phosphorus about once in
two years and on some sandy soils
potash may be necessary to secure
the best growth.
Good Pastures Better Than Poor
Cotton Crops.
On a recent trip across the cotton
country, l was struck more forcibly
than ever before with this need of
pasture on these cotton farms. There
were little irregular-shaped bottoms
that were too small to work profit
ably, while the slopes leading down
to these low places were terraced.
and on every terrace nearly was a
rank growth of weeds and briers de-
priving the landscape of the beauty
that is naturally here; the weeds fur
nishing seed enough each year to
more than supply the farmer with
something to work on with his little
tools that were necessary to be used
because Of the irregular rows barring
the use of larger tools In the little
spaces between the terraces. Then.
more often than not one would see
great, nasty gully that had gone
straight down through the terraces
from top to bottom. Then the
thought would force itself to the
front, What is the good Of the ter
race after all?" And withal there
was no crop much growing on these
washing slopes.
What the writer would do with
conditions Of this sort would be to
go in there with the big pillow, knock
those terraces winding, harrow thor
oughly, and SOW some legume on all
that land from the bank of the
creek to the top of the slope, then
make a good pasture of the whole
thing. See to it that no brush or
briers obtained foot-hold, and allow
nothing to rob that land Of its
strength, except grass only, and this
fed to none but first-class stock.
Then / would cut out a few Of my
worthless hands, substituting live
stock, giving the better hands good
tools and horses to work the more
level portions Of the farm, and by
this means and the use of legumes
