by three feet and makes n bale
1,500 pounds of seed cotton, each
plant would have TO mature 81 bolls.
That is allowing an average of 100
hollis to the pound of seed cotton,
which is not far from correct, taking
the hollis from the earliest to the lat
est. If he made five bales to the acre
each stalk would have to produce 1855
bolls. Any farmer may understand
that such a yield a not be made. If
he gave his cotton more distance and
planted four by four feet, each plant
would have to make Sc bolls to make
one bale to the acre. If he could
make five bales on the acre then each
plant would bear $50 mature bolls.
Farmers will understand the impos-
sibility of making such a crop.

ELECTION COMMISSIONERS

The following from the Yorkville
Enquirer is both true and / mely:
in behalf of the gentlemen who dis
charged the dlty Of preparing for the
general election, appointing managers
providing boxes, tickets, etc., giving
official notice, and afterward tabulat-
ing the returns it is proper to say that
the duties of the election commission
er does not constitute an easy task.
There is considerable responsibility, a
lot of hard work and practically no
pay-only a dollar a day and mileage
for the time actually employed. But
still all this work has to be done and
the men who do it are deserving OF
due credit"

came about by getting the figures
mixed. One of Mr.. Caldwells neigh
bors said that he had a good lot Of
cotton and had gathered five bales
from four or five acres with another
bale in the field. The reporter just
made a mistake by substituting one
acre for four or five. That was a nat
ural mistake for a young reporter
who did not know that it was impos-
sible to raise five or six bales of cot
ton on an acre.

The largest crop eyer made in this
county was by Garvin McMackin near
Wexford. He was, about three years
ago., improving a lot of land by deep
blowing and hauling out many tons OF
lot n on it. He planted it IN
cotton. The year was favorable and
made over two bales, but not as much
as three ,on his choice acre. The tig-
ures are not before US but that is the
report as to his crop.

WINTER FEED

Stimulating Effects

CBy R G. WEATHERsToNE.)


There is a general unanimity OF
opinion among experienced poultry
men that poultry dc best upon some
form of green or succuleat food dur
Ing tho winter months. The function
of such succulent food Is probably
largely in. the nature Of digestive
stimulant rather than as an addition
to the actual food constituents OF the
ration.
A green winter feed that is greatly
relished by fowls is sprouted oats.
Experience has shown that in order
to make satisfactory green food'
however, the oats must be grown
very quickly. In order to get quick
growth it is necessary to have three
things: First, warmth; second, plenty
of moisture; and, third, sunlight
BY sowing oats in shallow, fiat
boxes about two inches deep, and by
sprinkling and keeping the box in
warm, sunny place, the oats will
sprout very rapidly, making growth
of from to 6 inches in week or
ten days.
The fats in which the oats are
sprouted must be thoroughly scrub
bed with half water and half for
malyn every time before they are
used, or the oats will mold in the
sprouting.
The best way to sprout oats is to
build small closet into which the
Aats can be slipped on cleats and sup
