Massachusetts, Far Ahead

OF the total number of cotton spindes,
Massachusetts exceeds every other state,
having II 1,066S46, or 35 per cent of the
fetal for the United States in 1872; South
Carolina ranks second with 4,327,lB or 1871
per cent, and North Carolina third, with
3,403 s96 spindles, or 1913 per cent Geor-
gia comes fifth, with about 100000 more
spindles than Alabama and about double
the cotton sumption.
These statistics of consumption and ac-
tive spindles measure the growth of cot
ton manufacturing. Since 1890 the num-
ber of spindles in the United States has
more than doubled. while the cotton con-
sumed in 1912, was the largest returned
for single year and more than twice as
large as that of 1890.
The most significant fact brought out
is the rapid growth of the industry in
the cotton growing states. In 1880 there
were only 56l 1850 active cotton spindles in
these states, and the quantity of cotton
consumed was 1Ss.7iS bales. In 1912, II, l,5S2,-
S69 spindles were operated, and the guam
tity of cotton consumed was 2,il2233 bales.
Between 1900 and 1912 the consumption
of cotton in these states increased ISL per
cent. while in the New England states 1t
Increased only 10.4 per cent, and in all
other states 2f.2 per cent.

OF living like individuals, "but un-
like all others have not been permit

Hogs Are Money Makers

The raising OF hogs affords a means
for turning a crop Of the farm into
good money and especially so wnen
the price scores such high level as
at present
Successful farmers all over the state
are getting wise to the value of this
domestic animal as a money maker
and when handled properly and allow
ed to make their growth by cheap
feeds, one can scarcely' realize what
profit may be derived from one source
of farm activity.
J. H. Patterson, of Prague, Okla
homa, says the Oklahoma Farmer, is
an example of what may be done
along this line. Last year he bought
a few hogs and fed them alfalfa and
peanuts. From sows he raised 175
hogs of which 100 are now ready for
market. The cost to get these hogs
ready for the market has not exceed
ed SIS per head and the animals weigh
from IT'S to $50 pounds each.
The profits are easily figured. TAX
ing the lowest weight, 175 pounds as
an average in order to make it safe,
and putting the price at SC at Prague.
This combination would figure pro-
TT of SO per head The wonder is
that more farmers don't raise hogs
on the plan followed BY MI ratter-
son.

FARM NOTES

Hogs, to make the most out OF their
ration, need water not merely once
or twice or three times a day, but
continually, where they can get it
when they want 1t. A hog is enough
like man to want water when he
wants 1t, and when he wants II II
should be where he can get 1t.
This is the right season for get
ting a well that will furnish per-
manent supply. If, after the dry
weather of the last season, man
puts down well that gives a good
flow of water, he need have no fear
of an adequate supply during any
season that may come.
Now is the time for farmers seri-
ously to consider the matter Of
changing to a system of winter
dairying. Cows that are bred within
the next two months will be ready
for service in winter dairy year
from now.
t. e. Reeder, of Tulsa County, who
this year made record of 65 bushels
of corn to the acre, has established
a REGARD in raising watermelons. MIR.
Reeder planted five and one half
acres Of melons last spring and win
receive $4,000 from the crop he pro-
duced.
He planted Tom Watson and Hal
bert Honey varieties Of melons.
The cotton crop suffered an annual
loss of about million dollars as n re-
suit Of a disease known as cotton an
thracnose, or boil rot The depart
ment of agriculture says that since
the fungus can live on dead cotton
bolls in the field for at least a year
and in the seed for two or three years
there should be rotation of crops.
The wise farmer will use the fall
and winter months to put in practice
methods of control of insect pests of
farm crops. All trash and weed
patches should be burned off, so that
no harboring places will be left for
chinch bugs.
Now is the proper time to handle
the grasshopper pest. The only way
to treat the grasshopper during the
winter is to plow the ground where
the pods and eggs are deposited to
the depth OF three or four inches.
Generally the eggs are more alb
undant in some localities than others
This is very apt to be true regarding
sod places along fences and ditch
banks. II the eggs are exposed to
the weather during the fall and also
winter the cold weather will kill
them.
