COTTON CENSUS BILL
FAV0RABLY REPORTED
Measure introduced by Con-
gresham Bell Is Now Ger
tain of Passage
BY RALPH sMrTH.


WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 3.-The
house committee on census. today IA
vorably reported a bill of vast I'm
portance to the cotton farmers of the
south. It proposes to require the
monthly publication, by the census bu-
reau of statistics, showing not only the
amount OF cotton gihned, but also the
amount Of raw cotton, consumed in man
ufacturing establishments, of every
character, the quantity of raw cotton
held by warehouses, mills, etc., the guam
tity of raw cotton imported, and export
ed; and the number of consuming cotton
mill spindles actually in operation.
There is also provision for the gather
ing and publication of data being on the
consumption, and stock of cotton held
by foreign mills.
The bill was drafted and introduced
in the house by Representative Bell, of
the Ninth Georgia district. The speed
with which its consideration has been
expedited to date indicates the strength
of it's following 1t was introduced only
yesterday, and referred Immediately to
the census committee. Ordinarily 1t
would have been pigeonholed for sever
al weeks or a month. awaiting action,
but Mr. Bell succeeded in getting a
meeting of the committee yesterday af
ternoon, and at this meeting a favorable
report was agreed upon.
The favorable report was submitted
to the house today, and the bill is now
on the calendar, awaiting passage, which
is assured.
The congressman from the cotton belt
will unite in the support Of the measure.
Representative Bell has enlisted the
support of Senator Hoke Smith and will
cooperate with him, in pressing the bill
in the senate following it's passage
through the house.
The purposes of the proposed legisla-
ton are obvious. Mr.. Bell is confident
that it will have a tendency to bolster
the price of cotton, at all seasons of the
year. particularly during the marketing
season.
1t is contended that the ginners' re-
port, which are now issued by the CEN
sus bureau, are usually misleading, and
nearly always 'bearish' in their tenden-
cies, because they deceive the public,
as to the actual amount of cotton In
sight BY requiring the census bureau
to give the actual figures on the amount
of cotton in sight, togAthA~ with the
monthly consumption OF the staple, he
believes the evil effects of this decep-
ton will be reduced to a minimum.

RELATION OF FERTILIZERS
TO PRODUCTION OF CROPS

Many farmers are evidently afraid Of
over-cotton-productio again in 1912, and
there is a distinct tendency towards cur
tailment in all farm operations. Many
are advocating a reduction in fertilizers.
In this connection IT is well to consider
that phenomenal yields rarely follow
two years In succession 1t is also i'm
portant to bear in mind that the over
production OF cotton and the low price
now obtaining are matters which the
farmer may remedy in a very large
measure. First OF all. by skiIlful cul-
tivation., preparation and fertilization
il IS possible to grow cotton fiber at
moderate cost Second. IL crop diver
sffication commensurate with the needs
OF the state had been followed in 1911
the condition now witnessed would not
exist. IL will be q serious mistake in
my Judgment TO curtan the application
OF fertilizers in 1919 on our farm crops.
There is room and need for the april
cation OF larger amounts than ever. This
statement is justified and well Illus
trated by the results obtained in the
Boys Corn club work. IL is also wei
known that more fertilizer OF higher
grade was used on corn in Georgia In
1911 than ever before. II was undoubt-
edly one of the factors in increasing the
yield over that OF previous years even
under most adverse conditions. Our
farmers should think seriously, there-
fore, about the whole problem OF crop
production before determining on the re-
duction OF the amount Of plant food sup
piled to their soils in 1912. The wise
policy viii be TO devote a reasonable
area to cotton. and to increase the vari-
ETY. OF crops raised for home supplies.
When this IS done a higher premium
viii be earned on the use OF commercial
plant food than has ever been obtained
The farmer will safeguard the over-prO-
ductfOn OF any crop from which he has
sometimes suffered, and by this means
alone can he hope to make cotton the
surplus money crop which IL should re.
The need Of crop diversification has
been emphasized so often that IL seems
almost useless to again mention IL, but
II constitutes the key to the present sit
uaion and where practiced viii justify
the farmer in using fertilizers literally
in 1912.

1t is probable that your chickens are
affected with what is known as roup

trouble. As a preventive of roup one

thing to use. Where birds become bad

use antiseptics about the head. Creolin

best treatment is to apply turpentime to

On land intended for field corn IL
would be we'll for you to use a 9-3-5
fertilizer applied at the rate of 500
pounds per acre under the drill row.
If you can secure any vegetable mat

the better. One of the best varieties
of corn for you to select for your sec
ton is Whatley's Prolific. Another
good variety is Marlboro. You should
not have difficulty in securing good
seed of either one of these varieties, as
they are quite extensively grown in
Georgia Personally, we would prefer
to plant the corn in four or four ana
a half foot rows, depending on the
natural fertility of the land, and de.
vote another area to peanuts. In some
sections. however, corn is planted in
five to six-foot rows, with the peanuts
in the middle. Where you plant the
peanuts and the corn together, wider
spacing of the rows is necessary, ana
we can see no reason why it is not bet.
ter policy to plant each crop on dis
tinctive areas. You understand, OIL
course. that prolific corn does not
make as big ears as some of the va
rieties better adapted for growth on
bottom lands, but there are now dis
tinct classes at most fairs for prolific
sorts which should not be judged in
competition with large cared varieties.
On old ground it is best to plant
Bliss Triumph potatoes as soon as the
ground can be worked advantageously.
In your section of the state we would
think this date from January 18th to
March LIST. Sometimes, of course. the
potatoes will come up prematurely ana

is frequently the cause of this trouble.
1t has been shown also that where pot
ash is absent from the soil in an avail
able form rust often follows, and that
liberal applications of muriate will over
come this difficulty Cotton draws rather
heavily on the potash of the soil, and
particularly for the production of the
leaf and stem of the plant, and therefore
in view of the relatively unavailable con-
dition of the potash supplies of many
of our north and middle Georgia soils, it
is well to. increase the application Of pot
ash. If lime were used on some of
these soils potash would not be so essen
tial. Drainage is an important factor
in preventing rust and securing favorable
conditions for the development of any
crop. Rust in cotton is thought to be
due to an improper physical condition
Of the plant on account of the absence of
certain essential elements from the soil,
as has been indicated already in this
letter. BY supplying these the trouble is
generally overcome.

There are no breeders of Polled Angus
cattle in Georgia in so far as 1 am able
to gather, and there are very few of these
animals in the south. Mr.. A. L. French
has a herd In North Carolina, where he
has been breeding these cattle for a num-
Der of years with considerable success.
You can reach him through the Pro-
gressive Farmer, Raleigh, N. G. can
not say whether these cattle have been
maintained on tick-free land or whether
they have been exposed to ticks, and
have therefore become in a measure i'm
mune to tick fever. BY this 1 do not
mean that the calves will not probably
have fever, but that the parents have
been subjected to it for so long a period
of time that they are not likely to have
it in as violent a form as animals brought
from north of the quarantine line which
have not previously been exposed to
ticks.
While we have great admiration and
appreciation of the Angus cattle we are
disposed to think that the HerefOrdS or
Shorthorns will prove better adapted to
Georgia. The Angus are regarded more
as a stall feeding breed than rustIing,
grazing breed. Our experience with the
Herefords has led us to believe that they
are probably one of the best of the beef
breeds adapted for maintenance on the
farms and ranges of Georgia. and there
are several breeders of these animals
who have a surplus of males on hand
which you could probably secure at a
reasonable cost.
