Twelve Things To Do This
Month.
MORE ANON

/. Get the land ready for plant
ing staple crops. Don't stop with
plowing, but harrow and re.harrow
until perfectly pulverized seed
bed. is made. The best paying
work is done before planting.
q. Get good seeds for planting
all crops. Don't depend on just
what you can pick up and don't
wait till planting time to buy Or
select.
3. Select, prepare and plant spe:
cial seed patches for your seed
corn and cotton another year.
4. Get the harrows and weeders
out and begin using them. The
new H's-"H Horses and Harrows''
will do twice the work of the old
H's-"H Hired Hoe Hands"
s. Keep the fire out Of the fields.
AS DR.. Knapp says, Use more
sense and less fire. The greatest
need of our Southern soils is humus,
the most expensive fertilizer is nj.
trogen; rotting trash and grass sup,
ply BOTH.
6. Keep the garden going. Don't
forget that almost everything from
radishes to beans and from lettuce
to corn shonld be planted this
month.
I. Spray and prune and cultivate
your orchard. Don't turn it over
to the fungus diseases aud insect
pests, even if it is little late to
start fighting them.
8. Arrange q series of lots for
hog pasturiug. With Southern pas.
turing crops we can make pork
more cheaply than Western far
mers can, but I'VE can't compete
using corn alone.
o. Get Iusy in the poultry yard
Don't have chicks hatched with nc
provision made to take care of them
and don't put it off until hot weather
10. Give the work horses special
care. Don't allow them to get poor
or havethemsuffering from sorebacks
and shoulders.
IL. Screen the doors and win
dows, clean up the back yard and
about the barn, get rid of stagnan'
water about the house. Flies car
ry typhoid; mosquitoes cause ma
laria. Keep them out.
IL. Fix up the house and yard
Don't allow your home to be lack
ing in that beauty which is its in
herent right.-Progressive Farmer

CURTAIL COTTON CROP.
In Order to Avoid Possible Dis.
aster Farmsf's Should Re
duce Cotton Acreage
This Year.

All reports indicate that the mills
will by concerted action make a de
termined effort to keep down the
price of cotton. The farmers can
maintain profitable price by con-
trolling production of raw material.
The following is a dispatch that
was sent out from Boston q few
days ago which shows what is being
done to curtail production by the
mills I:
FIFTY per cent of tho spindles in
southern cotton mills are, idle, ac-
cording to statistics which have
been assembled by the American
Wool and Cotton Reporter.
The figures show that the cur
tailnent in progress not only in the
south but in all sections of the coun-
try, both north and south, is more
extensive and drastic than has ever
beenl known in the history of the
trade, even taking into considera-
ton the panic year of 1907.
The greatest curtailment comes
amongsth yarn mills, although re-
striction of production among weay-
ing mills is greater than ever be
fore. Mill after mill is closing
down entirely, until new cotton ar
rives or market conditions improve,
while, with the. majority of others
the amount of curtailment varies
from 90 to 100 per cent, with many
mills running on orders only. The
following. are the percentage of
spindles idle by states.
Alabama, s6 per cent; South
Carolina, 81 per cent; North Caro-
lima, 40 per cent; Georgia, 80 per
cent; Tennessee, soper cent; Yir-
ginia, so per cent; Mississippi, 63
per cent.
Figures for the New England
states have not been completed.

Boy ploW, leaving a good open fur
row, and in this furroW applied
the following compost: 20 bushels
cotton seed, 400 pounds of I6 per
cent acid, loo pounds of muriate
of potash and two 2-horse loads of
COW barn manure. Immediately
covered this with Dixie-Boy. Then
I finished breaking the middles with
turn plow.
-On June 9th I thinned and suck
cred the corn. From then on I gave
it only surface culture. June 10th
I plowed out with spring-tooth har-
row. AT this time the corn was
about 4 feet:high. On June 22nd |
plowed very shallow with Victor
sweep. On,June Soth planted second
crop in middle, though this was not
profitable. Seasons did not suit it
iannd am sure my original crop was
cut short by trying to cultivate mid
die row.
The total cost of fertilizers on
original crop.was 5000, counting
cotton seed at market price and
stable manure at sl.50 per load.
This gives me profit of $50 per
acre aside from the 10 won in your
contest, which gave me $50 net
profit per acre at feed price for
corn, though. l am selling this corn
at $3.50 per bushel for planting. So
you may figure returns from the
acre IS bushels.
I gathered my corn about 10th Of
November and Immediately put this
land to oats, wheat and hairy vetch
which bids fair to make three tons
of forage which will be worth Sl.75,
as it is a we'll rounded feed for
stock.
After this crop is cut l will put
| it to cotton and am expecting two.
bales per acre. If we can have a
good rain would like for you to see
the forage in about two weeks. |
believe agriculture is now in its in
fancy. We do not know what can
be made from lands of our God
favored section and we should at
least be up and doing and striving
for the gold.
You are doing a good work by
arousing enthusiasm for corn rails
ing. I think this is enough for me
to say at the moment. Tell the boys
| have a good stand for my contest
patch for this year and just meet
me at Edgefeld County Fair in the
fall and I will tell them something.
