FALL PASTURING or WHEAT
ovazing Stock on Fields in Autumn 10
Beneficial to Crop In Some
Instances.
(By r. @. wEATHERsTONE.)

- 49, So -
Wheat is a crop that needs much
consideration If We wish to obtain the
best results possible. There are GER
tain times in the year when it would
be a great mistake to pasture wheat
and there are certain fields that ought
not to be pastured; but there are also
some instances when wheat can be
pastured to great advantage. OF
course the conditions must justify the
proceeding.
Early wheat as a rule can be pas
tured quite hard in the fall, providing
all conditions are favorable. OF course
it would be poor policy to pasture 1t
when the season was wet and the
ground muddy, as the tramping of
stock on such land would puddle the
soil so badly that the entire CROP
might be ruined, and perhaps the soil
also.
Should the soil be very dry, on the
other hand, the stock Is very apt to
dig up much Of the wheat, as the roots
will not have a firm hold in the loose
soil.
Land that has been very trashy and
plowed late in the season Is actually
benefited by iudicious pasturing, pro-
viding everything else Is favorable;
for the stock will pack the ground
down firm, thus closing the large air
spaces underneath, and at the same
time keep a dust mulch on the sur.
face, which is very desirable. If such
ground were left unpastured the wheat
would very likely freeze out If the
winter should prove severe, owing to
the fact that the trash lying between
the furrow slice and the subsoil
causes large air spaces, which are
very detrimental to the root system.
As O as the winter breaks up in
the spring the stock should be kept
off the wheat, for 1t Is at this time
that the wheat must make a good
start In order to cover the ground be-
fore the weeds get a start. Spring
pasturing wheat usually decreases the
grain yield greatly and should there
fore be avoided.
Horses are much harder on wheat
than are cattle, for they push the
loose soil away from the plants and
nip them off close to the roots, while
cattle pull off only that which they
can easily get hold of.

COTTON FEATURES IN SoUiA
PRODUCING States Spin More Bales
Than All Others Combined.
According to Statistics.

Inc report of the census bureau
showing that during the year ending
august 81 the totton-growing states
spun In their mills mors bales of cot
Ton than all ether states combined,
MARKS an important epoch in the in
austrlai revolution that has been 60
ing On ever since the close Of the
war 1t Is further noted that during
'tne year the number OF active spindles
IN the south increased by almost half
q million. The exact figures are 2,
1l2r622 bales used in the south, as
against 2,665,049 used in the rest Of
the country; II, 5S5,83 spindles active
IN the south this year, against 1864
623 in 1911.
The southwark shifting Of the cot
ton industry is due in a measure to
the enterprise of the people of that
section, but mainly to the economic
law that of later years has almost
everywhere been carrying the mill to
the field Of raw material instead OF
taxing the material TO the mill. The
iron and steel industry long ago shift
ed to states where coal and iron
abound. Wheat and lumber are being
worked up nearer the fields and for
ests where they grow. There remains,
however, a long distance to be
traVersed before the revolution ts
complete and all raw material is put
into finished fabrics at home. Thus
the entire amount Of cotton worked
up in the United States as a whole
during the year under review was but
5,637,6u bales, while the total crop
was l7,673,294. There is evidently
large room for southern manufactur.
ing expansian before it reaches the
measure Of the raw material in this
respect alone.

SEWING MACHINE TAXES.

Adams states that he has been enabled

written to officials in various counties
asking for the levies of 1901 to 1912 in

amount of taxes due the counties by the
Singer Sewing Machine Company.
Several years ago the state undertook
to assess sewing machines as taxable
property, and litigation with the Singer
company was the s~esult, which alleged
that a tax on capitalization was paid in
