Sow Oats By 0psn-FunoW Method.

In those sections where oats are
apt to winter-kill, and especially
if the seeding is done after Octo,
Der first, We believe the opsn-fur-
row method is the proper way to
SOW fall oats.
We are often asked, what is the
"open.furrow" method of sowing
oats3 Formerly . drill was made
and used that opened one furrow
and put out one row of oats, but
now drills are made that open the
furrows and put out two or more
rows of oats, IA to 18 inches apart.
A moderate-sized furrow is opened
and TIE oats deposited at the bot
tom of the furrow, only being GOV.
cred by . small amount of soil
that rolls down from the sides of
the furrow. Al the rains and
freezes come, the soil continues to
fall down around the oats and
heaving by frost 10 overcome.
Moreover, the young oat plants
being protected by the sides of the
furrows, do not freeze 20 severely
are rarely winter killed. 1t is rare
that oats sowed in the ordinary
way, either broadcast or with
the ordinary grain drill, are not
injured more or less, and more Sc
verely than when sowed in the
open furrow. Experiments indi-
cate clearly that the open-furrow
method is the best way to put in
fall oats.-The Progressive Farm.

HORRIBLE DEATH OF INFANT.

A horrible accident took place
in Plato Carpenters store, in
Mooresville, last Friday, which
resulted in the death of the infant
of Mr.. and Mrs. James Foutz,
of Western Rowan. Mrs. Foutz
had gone to Mooresville to do
some shopping and, after going
up in the second story of Mr.. Car
penter's store carrying her two
year.old-child, she sat it on the
banlster surrounding a large hole
in the fooor used to display car.
pets, rugs, etc. She turned away
for only moment, but too late,
the child turned backward and
plunged to the floor below. We did
not get a definite statement as to
its injuries, but surmise it suffered
concussion of the brain and nu.
merous broken bones. The child
was given immediate attention BY
the local physician, and though
its condition was pronounced
hopeless the grief.strcken parents
brought the child to the Salisbury
ssnatorium where it soon died.
The funeral was held at Con.

PROSPECTS FOR FIFTEEN.cEN1 COTTON.
Some Figures and Remarks That May bs
Of Profit TO Rowan Farmers.


The Progressive Farmer is not
the sort of paper to rush in and
tell the farmers to hold their
crops for big prices just for the
sake of getting popularity while
the holding campaign is going on.
1t is nearly always a good rule, of
course, to avoid selling while the
"dlstressed cotton" is going on
the market, but we do not believe
in stimulating a wholesale hold
ing campaign by exciting hopes of
higher prices than market condi.
tions furnish a reasonable basis
for expecting.
For the purpose of enabling
farmers to got specific information
as to present market conditions,
we asked W. T. Williams, editor
of the Savannah, Ca, Cotton
Record, one of the best informed
cotton men in the South, to write
for our last issue q plain, un-
biased statement as to the present
outlook. In part, Mr.. Williams
said:
"6tatistics of the worlds con-
sumption demonstrate that the
requirements this year will be
about 100000 bales. There is
practically no surplus carried over
from the last season, the existing
tables of supplies including d
considerable.amount of poor un-
spinable trash, but which
figures as cotton just the same.
The mathematical deduction from
the last Bureau report is a crop
of not over 1S,5O0,OoO bales, but
it would bs unsafe to trust to
such elusive alculations. The
trade at large, however, is dispos-
ed to regard with favor an ex-
pectatlon of somewhere around
ID 200, 900, which, in view of the
increased acreage in the West and
the large condition gain in the
Atlantic States. does not look at
all unreasonable. But this in-
wolves a deficit for the year of
1000, 900 bales.
1.-THE main point is, the world
wants 15, 600, 900 bales, while we
can see only prospect of 14,00O-
900. The farmer need not be in
any hurry to sell his cotton. He
should sell a little as he needs
the proceeds, but he need not bs
worried over the fear that unless
he makes all haste to catch the
good prices now obtainable, he
will have lost his chance. The
consuming world has not yet had
time to become fully appreclative
of the shortage in the coming
supply. There is no occasion for
the apprehension that the best
has been passed every time the
market eases off a trifle. The
Progressive Farmer.
