Interesting Thoughts On
The History OF Cotton.
Continued from issue of July s.

Continued from issue OF July 3.
Here is where the negro comes
in. Until cotton can be picked by
machinery he is indispensable.
The South cannot do without him
as a cotton picker. The white man
understands the negro, and the
negro understands the white man,
and no where does greater harmony
exist than on the plantation. The
negro is king of cotton pickerS. and
it is exceedingly doubtful whether
science will ever supplant him.
The nature of the contract be-
tween the planter and the darkey.
varies according to circumstances
No two planters perhaps make ex-
actly the same kind of contract.
The price of cotton at the time the
contract is made largely fixes the
wage the negro is to receive during
the current year. Some planters
put their hands on shares, and on
this kind of contract they are
called choppers, the negro doing
the work and the planter furnish
ing the lands, mules and nipple
ments needed in the gathering of
the crop, and the proceeds of the
crop are divided into half, share
and share alike. Some lease their
lands at stipulated prices where
the tenant is able to furnish all
the farm implements and supplies
to make the crop. The most com
mon system, however, is where the
planter pays stipulated price per
day. A planter may have several
hundred acres in cotton, even
thousands. He begins to prepare
his lands in January and plants
them about the first of April. He
begins gathering about the first of
September and finishes about the
middle of December. Thus it will
be seen that the preparing, cultiva-
ton and gathering of the cotton
crop takes from January to Janu-
airy.
The present day planter uses
every effort to build up his lands.
He fertilizes very heavily with
commercial fertilizers. He is re-
deeming the waste places by fill
ing in, ditching and terracing
Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1911-07-13

Only in the last few years has this
been undertaken. In ante-bellum
days economical methods of farm
ing were not generally in vogue,
and the aristocratic planter cared
nothing for preserving the soil.
There were millions of acres that
could be had for almost nothing.
The planter cleared the lands with
his slaves, ran the rows up hill
and down and the result was the
soil of the hillside washed down in
the valleys. He cultivated the
fields for a few years and then left
them to grow up in pine forests.
The people Of this generation are
undertaking the task of redeeming
the lands wasted in the days of
slavery, but the damages in many
instances are irreparable and many
tracts will never be wholly reclaim
ed.
A cotton field presents a beauti-
tiful sight when it is ready for
picking. At the beginning of the
season the fields look green; later
the leaves begin to look brown
and fall off Then the fruit be-
comes visible as it gently clusters
about the stalk. Viewed from a
distance the ripe fields look as if
gentle snow had fallen upon them.
Later in the season if picking has
been neglected the fields look al
most as white as snow.
Cotton pickin' time" is a season
of great rejoicing among the negroes
of the South. Whether it is a
time of rejoicing among the plant
ers, merchants and bankers de-
ponds altogether upon the price of
the staple in the markets of the
world. When quotations for spots
range about Is cents there is great
rejoicing and general prosperity.
Picking cotton is hard work, and
only the negro stand up under it
and feel happy from day to day.
Before day break each day the
plantation overseer, who is an alb
solute monarch in his sphere, rings
farm bell to awaken the dusky
sleepers. THIS means dress and
get ready for work" 1t is the
signal for the women, who also
work in the cotton fields, to get
the family's breakfast of bacon
bread and coffee. Presently a
negro walks out of his cabin and
gives a typical African yell. The
call is taken up by negro after
negro until the whole quarter is
alive with a quaint melody of
voices and yeodling in different keys.

Secretary Wilson Of the department OF

of the board of food and drug inspec-
ton listened carefully today to the
answer of the brewers to the question,
What Is beer?"
The United States Brewers associa-
tion, represented by Louis B. Schremm,
of New York, offered long statement
in reply to the set questions PROFOUND
ed by the department as to what re-
quirements are contained in beer.
The processes and ingredients used
in making beer were said to be sub
stantially the same as before the pure
food law was passed.
John r. Mauff, Of Crawford, N. J.,
representing the consumers league,
read statement charging that since
nursing mothers and invalids use beer
for tonic properties, the labels should
designate the ingredients, so that the
users may know whether they are get
ting grain extracts or chemical pre-
servatives.
That any chemical preservatives"
were used in the making Of beer was
quickly denied by the brewers. The
hearing was adjourned until this aft
ernoon when farmers and consumers
were to be given an opportunity to
state why beer should be labelled as 20
its contents.

Against the Pennsylvania railroad a
