NOTABLE IMPROVEMENT IN T
LUMBER MARKET Conditions

Jackson, Miss, April 15.-Notable
Improvement in prices and demand
has characterized the lumber market
in this territory during the past week,
inquiry for dimension from the flood
districts of Indiana and Ohio being
especially heavy. An enormous
amount of rebuilding will be necessary
with the receding of the overflow, and
material men are anxious to replen-
ish their yard stocks to meet the ex-
pected heavy calls for lumber.
The impending high stage of the
Mississippi and it's tributaries will, as
last year, prompt the lumbermen and
saw mill owners of the delta section
of Mississippi to generally close down
their mills, get out what sawed ma
terial they have to railroads, and look
after the floating out of logs in all
sections, as they have been engaged
in cutting timber. The fact that the
Vicksburg territory is on the eve of
having three high water stages with
in a twelve months period is any
think but encouraging to the lumber
men, for their expenses in getting in
and out of the field of operations is
great thing to look at, and incident
ally their business, except for logging
and floating out timber, will necessari-
ly have to suspend, pending the high
water stage.
1t is learned here that quite a num-
Der of small mills in the delta low
lands have already suspended opera
tons, ond others contemplate doing

have just been reopened for service,

but presumably will have to close
down again as soon as the water
comes up higher, This company,
however, owns another big mill at
Walters, which will probably be able
to operate right along, and Houston
Bros. plant at Walters will have
chance to stave off the coming stage
of water. The Wilson Lumber Com
pany has large supply of timber in
the delta near Valley Park, and this
is being moved out. Several hundred
thousand slaves in that vicinity are
also being moved out, and will be
marketed in New Orleans.
One of the most important timber
projects now under way is the large
tract of timber being cut out in North
Louisiana in the section of Tallulah.
which is to be handled by the Singer

York. This firm in recent months

happy New Year at the home of our
friend, Mr.. E. N. saPadgett, who re-
sides on the old Plank Road below
Trenton. Wedding bells rang more
loudly and more merrily than usual,
the occasion beng the marriage of
his two daughters. Miss Corinne
Padgett was married to Mr.. G. G.

came the bride of Mr.. E. E. Wal

rare and are regarded s.s peculiarly
happy occasions, but this was par
ticularly unique in that twin-broth-
ers married sisters. The home was
tastefully decorated for this happy
event, and a bountiful wedding
feast was served. The Advertiser
extends hearty congratulations to
these happy young people.

Should Sandy Land be Plowed
This Winter?

There are two questions involved,
which when answered will give the
answer to the main question asked.
First, will the land be injured or
improved by the winter plowing,
and second, can the plowing be
done in the winter at less expense
or more economically than next
spring when the crops are to be
planted? ,,/
Ordinarily, we suppose, it would
be answered that sandy land is not
benefited by winter plowing, but If
there is large amount of vegeta-
BILE matter on the land, like grass
and cornstalks, or if it is desired to
plow the land little deeper than
usual, it may be wise to plow 1t du-
ring the winter, or at least, a month
or more before planting the crop.
OF course, it would have been better
to have plowed this land last fall and
sowed a cover crop, but that is not
the question, and we do not wish to
dodge the question now up for So
luton, behind any such advice.
IF the land does not wash and
has a fair amount of vegetable mat
ter on it, we believe it will pro-
duce a better crop next summer if
plowed during the winter. If the
land is to be plowed deeper than
usual at any time before the next
crop, we feel quite sure that under
the conditions named it will pay to
plow this winter.
But assuming that this is doubt
full, or even that the land would
produce better crop if not plowed
until spring, then there is still to be
considered the advantage of doing
the plowing before the rush OF
work, which always occurs at seed
ing time. If there is no other work
to be done during the winter the
blowing can be done at much less
cost, and if the team is sufficient
for the rush of spring work, the
crop can be put in earlier and bet
ter if some winter plowing is done.
In view of all these facts, we re-
peat, if the land does not wash and
there is any considerable amount
of vegetation on the land we be-
lieve it will be profitable to plow it
this winter or at least a month or
two before planting the crop.-Pro-
gressive Farmer.

Death of MIR. John F. Atkins

Sunday afternoon a large number
Of relatives and friends gathered at
Horns Greek church to pay their
last tribute to Mr.. John F. Atkins
who died at mis- home near Roper's
Saturday night in his Goth year. The
funeral was conducted by DR., NJ.
d. Jeffries.
Until about year ago, Mr. At
kins was strong and robust, an
ideal specimen of physical man.
hood. Silently and stealthily a
dread disease began to undermine
his constitution, sapping his
strength and vitality. However,
not until few months ago did his
friends and loved ones become
alarmed over his condition. Not
withstanding his great strength and
endurance, Mr.. Atkins finally had
to succumb. For some time prior
to the end he was confined to his
bed and suffered intensely, but he
bore it all patiently. The acute
ness of his suffering would have
been unbearable but for the affec-
tionate ministrations of friends and
loved ones. The unceasing and un-
selfish devotion of his wife during
his long illness was exceedingly
beautiful. While everything that
science and human love and uevo-
ton could do to relieve and stay
the disease was done, yet practical
ly from the time Mr.. Atkins was
taken it was steady decline to the
end.
His death removes one Of Ro-
,,ers most valuable citizens. A de-
voted husband, loyal friend,
thoughtful neighbor and sterling
citizen has been called hence. The
estimation in which he was held
generally by his fel'ow-cltizens was
shown last year when from num-
Der Of good men Mr.. Atkins was
recommended to the governor for
appointment to the position of ru
raj officer for Edgeield county.
Mr.. Atkins is survived by his
wife, who before her marriage was

Good and Bad Crop Rotations.

A reader wants to know what is
the real meaning of the phrase OF

vating it the next is not crop rota-
tion?"
Yes, this is one kind of crop rota-
ton. Another kind is to cultivate
the land in cotton for 25 or so
years until it becomes too poor to
make a profitable crop and then
turn it out and allow it to grow up
in pines or any natural growth
which may come on it. These are
crop rotations, all right, but they
are not the best kind of rotation.
To allow weeds and grass to
grow on the land for one or more
years, or as it is generally called to
let it LAY out" or rest" is rota-
ton which may improve the fertili-
ty of the soil, but it is too slow
and wasteful a rotation. The land
may be made to grow a crop that
will pay profit and at the same
time improve the land more rap

But the word rotation carries with
it the idea of repeating or follow

portant idea which the Southern
farmer has missed. His attempts
at soil improvement by crop rota-
ton have been spasmodic, irregular
and short-lived.
To puta crop of cowpeas or some
other legume in the rotation once
in every three or four years is about
like feeding a horse or a cow once

Cottonseed Meal for Mare With
Foal.

A Virginia reader asks: rs the
feeding of cottonseed meal to a
mare in foal injurious, and will it
harm a colt nursing a mare fed this
feed? Is it safe feed for COW
with calf, and for a calf drinking
the milk of COW fed on it?:''
We believe cottonseed meal a
good and safe feed for both mares
in foal and COWS in calf. We know
that many would answer the ques-
ton otherwise, but we believe they
do'so on prejudice rather than on
definite facts or knowledge We. al
SO believe cottonseeo meal good
feed for mares and COWS sucking
their young.
There is no evidence, worthy of
consideration, that cottonseed meal
fed reasonably or intelligently ever
injured such animals, and there is
abundance of evidence to show that
when properly used, it is most ex-
cellent feed for such animals.
For feeding mares we would not
use more than one pound of cotton
seed meal to FIVE pounds of corn, or
to five pounds of corn and oats. We
know of no better ration for a
brood mare or one sucking colt
than equal parts of legume and
grass hays and ten pounds of corn
and two pounds of cottonseed meal
a day, per 1000 pounds of the ami
mails weight. Less grain m"y be
fed for two weeks before an6 after
foaling, but the corn and cotton
seed meal may be fed in the same
proportions. Of course, if legume
hays and oats are used, there
will be no need of cottonseed
meal, but cottonseed meal fur
nishes protein much cheaper than
oats.
For feeding cows in calf, or those
nursing or furnishing milk for
calves, the same statements apply,
except that a larger proportion of
cottonseed meal may be used, es-
pecially if the COWS have silage or
pasture or other green feed. For a
month before and after calving we
would not use more. than three
pounds of cottonseed meal a day,
but at other times, especially If
green feed or silage is used, the
quantity may be increased to four
or five pounds day, according to
the quantity Of milk the COW is Civ
ing. If, however, only cotton
seed meal and hulls are used, they
are not suitable ration for COWS in
calf or as constant ration for any
other cow. When a ration con-
tains sufficient variety and no more
cottonseed meal is used than is nec-
essary to balance the ration, 1t is a
most excellent feed for horses and
cattle, but when fed in excess of
the quantities indicated its high nu-
tritive value makes digestive and
other disturbances likely to result.
Such results, however, are not the
fault of the feed, but of the feeder.
