100000 SAVED IN
TINY TARIFF ITEM
Removal of Duty on Press Cloth
Likely to Prove Valuable to the
Cotton Seed Men.

Buried deep in the long list of arti-
cles which the new Democratic tariff
bill proposes to put on the free list is
a single item which will save the
South more than 100000 per year,
and which will save Georgia alone
one-fifth that amount. This is the
removal of duty on press cloths.
Press cloths are a peculiarly tough
fabric, made from camel hair, in
which cotton seed is held when sub
mitted to the enormous pressure nee
essary to extract the valuable oil
which is one of the South's great
sources of wealth.
Camel hair press cloths the past
season have cost about sc cents a
pound. 1t is estimated that the cost
OF press cloths averages 80 cents for
each ton of cotton seed pressed. The
Census Bulletin, recently issued, gives
the tonnage of cotton seed crushed
the past season as 4,54O. 600 tons. The
South thus spent S1,362, 600 for press
cloths for the seasons crush.
The duty is approximately two
thirds of the cost Of camel hair cloth.
\ saving of this amount would aggre-
gate $90S,000. Georgia has 159 of the
$50 cotton seed oil mills in operation
the past season, something more than
One-hfth of the total.
Il understand the worlds output OF
camel hair is in the hands of a very
few persons" says Mckee, president
of the Georgia Crushers Association.
These men may take advantage of
the absence of duty to hoist the price.
If they do not, the saving will be
enormous in the aggregate. Even If
the price is raised somewhat, the saw
ing promises to be large. Because Of
the high cost of camel hair, crushers
have been using substitutes the last
few years. Substitute cloths, of cot
ton or horse hair. do not last as long.
and the saving from their use is small
since they have to be replaced so
often

DRAINAGE MEET
I5EXPECTED To
BRING RESULTS
Concerted Action Is Planned to
Make Next Legislature Push
Swamp Reclamation,
BY JAMES 3. NEVIN.

The recent Drainage Congress in
savannah likely will bring about some
important results in the next Legis-
Iature.
South Georgia, where there is much
swamp land, is particularly interested
in the matter of proper drainage, and.
from a standpoint of sanitation and
rublic health. if no other, will stand
s9lidly for legislative aid thereto in
The future.
In Southwest Georgia there are sec
lions where stagnant water stands
nearly the entire summer breeding
malariaI fever and other forms of dis
ease that might be done away with by
proper drainage of the lands.
IN addition to that moreover, much
valuable farming territory might cas-
Hv be reclaimed by the application Of
intelligent drainage methods.
The Legislature of 1894 passed a
drainage measure, carrying an APP
preparation of $4,000. with which
much effective work was done in
South Georgia. That law still is on
the statute books, and under it the
present Geological Department Of the
state is conducted.
A concerted effort viii be made in
the next Legislature greatly to extend
the present law and amplify its pro-
visions.

Congressman Gordon Lee. who IS
the South's member Of the great
Congressional Forest Reservation
commission, and who. by reason Of

Mr.. Lee says the present Congress

EXPERIMENTS WITH MANURE
Large Increase In Yields Of. Corn and
Wheat Found In Tests at North !
. Dakota College.

(By w. c. PALMER, Agricultural Editor,
North Dakota Agricultural College.) :
Experiments have been carried on
at the North Dakota experiment sta
ton In the 8 Of MANURE. 1t was
found that when it was applied to land
that was to be planted to corn and
plowed under that the manure (slx
loads to the acre. increased the corn
crop by SIX bushels. and the following
three wheat crops eight bushels. With
corn at 50 cents and wheat 80 cents a
bushel the return for the manure will
be $40, or $1.57h a load. The ma
nure can be hauled in the winter or
at times when the horses and the
labor couldn't be doing anything else,
20 that the returns for the manure will
be practically clear gain.
The meadow is a good place to nut
manure, but when that Is not avail
able the corn crop is the next best
place to put the manure.
The increase In the crop is not the
only value of the manure. The or.
ganic matter that it adds to the soil
binds the soil grains SO that the soil
will not drift as easy.
The application Of manure does a
great deal to keep the soil in good
condition and especially Is this true
when the land has been in continuous
grain. or grain and cultivated crop.

SIZE OF SIL0 IS IMPORTANT
In North Dakota Average Length Of
Time sl'age May Be Fed Is Two
Hundred and Forty DAYS.

tBy G. L. MARTIN. Professor of Da,rv-
ing, North Dakota Agricultural Col
lege.)
In planning the silo it is important
to have the capacity which is gov
erned largely by the diameter of the
silo, in proportion to the size of the
herd, for when silage is fed from the
surface at the rate of two or more
inches per day very little loss will oc-
u by fermentation even in hot
weather. 1t is advantageous, frequent.
~, to build two silos, one for winter
and another for summer. The deem
narrow silo gives the best grade of
silage, since more inches will be fed
daily with less exposure. F.
In North Dakota the average length
Of time that silage may be fed profit
ably to cattle, ordinarily is from Sep
TENDER until May or 240 days. It is
an excellent plan to supplement the
pastures during the summer with corn
Silage, especially in dry seasons. For
this purpose, 1t is well either to build
the silo large enough to furnish silaee!
during the entire year or to have a;
large one for winter and a smaller for
summer. qla

ABOUT SWEET CLOVER
Plant 10 Too New to Allow One to.
Express Any Definite conelu-
sions-isv Very Hardy.

'(By L. r. wALDRON, superintendent
Satisfaction. Dickinson. n. D.)
From the standpoint Of the cult
vator. this plant is too new to allow
n to express any definite conclu-
sions. We know that the plant is ex-
pressly hardy. quite drouth resistant,
more so than red clover. and high in
nutritive value. The plant is adapted
to North Dakota soils. While not liked
by stock at first. they soon become &C.
customed to 1t, and then go after it
with eagerness, as testified by many
farmers.
This first dislike Of the plant would
not be a barrier to its extended use,
II other conditions are in it's favor.
AS 1t is, a two-year-old plant, dying
after the second year, it would seem
that a successful catch ought to be
made with a grain crop. 1t is open
to serious doubt If the crop will be OF
enough value to warrant the waste of
the first year preparatory to the final
and only crop Of the second year.
Even il it should not be able to IN
ter definitely into the rotations of the
farm, the crop will no doubt be OF
much value in the state, as attested
by the experience of many farmers.

The snowblrd Ounce hyenalis) and
tree sparrow (Spizella monucola) are
perhaps the most of all the
sparrows.
Examinations of many stomachs
shows that in winter the tree spar
row feeds entirely upon seeds of
weeds. Probably each bird consumes
about o%ne-fourth of an ounce q day. In
an article contributed In 1881 to the
New York Tribune the writer estimat-
ed the amount of weed seed annually
destroyed by these birds in Iowa.
Upon the basis of one-iourth Of an
ounce Of seed eaten daily by each
bird, and supposing that the birds av-
erage ten to each square mile, and
that they remain in their winter range
two hundred days we shall have a
total Of 1880 0 pounds, or 876 tons,
OF weed seed consumed in a single
season by this M species. Large as
these figures may seem, they unques.
tionably fall far short Of the reality.
The estimate Of ten birds to a square
mile ls much within the truth, for
the tree sparrow is more abundant
than this in winter in Massachusetts,,
where the food supply is less than in
the western states. The writer has
known places in Iowa where several
thousand tree sparrows could be seen
within the space Of a few acres. This
estimate, moreover is for a single
species, while, as a matter of fact.
there are least half a dozen birds (not
all sparrows) that habitually feed dur
ing winter on these seeds. Farther
south the tree sparrow is replaced
in winter by the white-throated spar
row. the white-crowned sparrow. the
fox sparrow, the song sparrow, the

MANY PLANTS TERMED WEEDS
Number That Are Serious Menace to.
Farming In One Locality Do Not
Number More Than Dozen.

tBy l.. r. wALDRON, North Dakota
Agricultural college-)
What is a weed? Plainly it is q
plant out Of place and one which per
sists In remaining SO. Thus, some Of
our most valuable forage plants may
be considered weeds II they persist in
growing where they are not desired.
There are a certain number Of plants,
however. that because Of their non
economical value, their aggressiveness,
their great seed-bearng power and
their hardness become known as
weeds" The number OF kinds of
weeds is manifestly large, but the
number that are a serious menace to
farming in n locality do not number
m0r than ten or a do1en. The hab-
its of these vary among themselves,
but certain ones present certain SINH
larities of habits. The habits Of one
mustard may be enough like the hab:
its of another mustard so that the two
may be treated as one plant when the
farmer desires to learn methods Of
determination. "

classes: (a) one-year weeds or an
nuals, (b) two-year weeds or bi-enni-
ais, and (c) many-year weeds or per-
ennials. (The bi-ennials are Of com
paratively little importance.) The
weeds belonging to class (a), known
as ANIMALS, include the most of our
common weeds, such as wild buck
wheat, yellow mustard, pigeon grass,
etc. These plants start from the seed
each spring, grow very rapidly and
ooa put forth flowers and fruit. Most
of the annual weeds produce seeds un-
til the fall frost. The whole plant
then dies. The next spring new plants
start only from the seed.
Our bad perennial or many-year
seeds are not SO numerous as our an
nual weeds. The worst perennial
weeds in North Dakota are the Canada
thistle and the quack grass. Like the
annual weeds these weeds start first.
from the seed. but they do mot make.
much growth the first year. When the
fall frosts come these weeds are killed
to the ground. but a portion OF the
plant under ground is not killed, but
lives over winter. In the spring, they
start to grow from the underground
portion Of the plant. and it takes only
q few warm days in spring to cover
the ground with the green leaves of
Quack grass or Canada thistle. 1t is
well known that cutting the plant
during its growing season seems only;
to- stimulate 1t to increased growth.
The most important things for the
farmer to know about weeds are
these: First, learn that weeds are
doing the farming industry an i'm
men amount of damage; second,
learn to know the weeds themselves.
their habits, their names and the ap-
rearaEce Of their seed; third, learn
the most approved methods OF getting
rid OF them
