Selling Cotton Seed.

Mr.. Editor Did you ever notice
how some farmers will sacrifice and
rob themselves to save little troub.
le and work. Great many. of tho
farmers around and near Edgefeld
have acquired tbs; habit Of selling
the,ia e,iaasseed at ai III " isea stheyyi
yin ,tos save the Il abis of handling
'and;hauling these Seed to market:
So much 80 is this the case that the
ginner now each year contracts
with some mill to buy and haul in
these seed at two and half and
three cents per bushel over and
above The market price. Now these
mills make such contracts and al
low the ginner to pay the market
price out in the country and go to
work and hold market down two
and half and three cents under
what it should be in order to bal
ance up even alter paying the gin
ner.
The Edgefeld market now should
be forty cents per bushel and all
buyers are paying thirty-seven and
a half. Forty cents is being paid AT
some other points and should and
would he in Edgetield were it not
for the facts stated. If farmers were
to bring their seed on to market in
stead of selling to gins there is not
the least doubt Edge6eld would be
a better seed market both now and
always. 1t would seem that they
are getting the market at gins when
really they are not.

An Appeal to School Trustees.

Mr.. Editor: With your consent
I would like to call the attention of
the entire white school trustees of
Edgefeld county, to the report of
the state superintendent of educa-
tion. In Tuesdays state, October
ss. He says in his report that each
white child enrolled gets $l2.57.
Each negro child gets 96 cents. Now
gentlemen l want to anpeal TO you
and ask you if you can't do better
for these helpless children? a.
The negro is required to help
support all branches of the govern
ment, without any representation
whatever and it does look like that
you would be willing to share a
part of your school fund with him.
I see gentlemen that there is only
one county in the state that gives
less for negro education and that is
Lee county. I see they give only 90
cents. Now gentlemen please con-
slider this matter and see if you
can't do better. am satisfied it will
be highly appreciated by the pa.
rents of these poor unfortunate
children. .y
Respectfully,
A. W.Simkins.

How / Plant Oats In Cotton
Land.

Editor Southern CuItivator:
You say when you find a good
way to do ANYTHING, pass it on, 80 I
write you a cheap way. l put in my
oats last year in cotton, and think
it the hest I ever tried. / took the
Planet Jr. cultivator, took off two
feet and adjusted the feet so the
outside plows would make fur
row by the side Of the cotton stalks
and the center plow would make
furrow in center of cotton, row.
Sowed the oats broadcast and run a
V-shaped harrow lightly over the
burrows 80 teeth would strike ridges
and fill furrow abou, half full. This
put oats in the furrow as perfectly
as if you had used a drill, had the
advantage of being in open furrow,
two trips to row completed the job;
had three rows of oats to the cot
toh row perfectly drilled. / fol
lowed behind the pickers in No
venber and in open furrow, which
protects them from being killed by
the freezes, and they stand dry
weather better.
Another thing l found out about
oats last year. l sowed some that
were recleaned or graded" and
some just as they come from the
thresher. Those that had been re
cleaned cost more, but they made
10 10 IL bushels more per acre than
the uncleaned, on same land and
same preparation. Made 40 bush
els per acre without fertilizer where
oats were graded.
