PICK YOUR COTTON

1t looks as if our cotton farmers
are making a grave mistake in not
picking their cotton whenever a
picking is in sight. The weather
conditions are so changeable this fall
that it would seem nothing else is
necessary to bring the farmers of
the valley to a realization that they
should not wait too long before
starting to pick their cotton. An
early frost would do a great deal of
harm and our advice is for the cotton
farmer to get busy.
In Salt River valley the cotton is
picked as soon as a picking appears
on the cotton trees. They do not
wait until every boil is open, and
the cotton farmers of the Salt River
valley do not make the mistake of
waiting too long.
We understand that quite an
acreage has been grown in short
staple cotton and this in spite of the
advice of government experts, who
have studied the climatic conditions
as well as the soil and have repeated
ly declared that the farmers of this
valley should grow the long staple.
| maybe that the short staple is
such an easy crop 10 raise and not
much labor, aud therefore hnds
favor in the eyes of those who DO
not care to work too hard. The con-
sequences. the invasion of the boil
weevil and cotton bights, and in
the end the small market price will
be the inevitable result.
The long staple cotton carries the
money every time, is free from the
boil weevil, is better cotton and a
market for it is easier found. We
cannot understand why a farmer
will work farm for bare existence
when he has the opportunity to make
some real money and better his own
conditions.

those from the two-eye pieces, half
or whole tubers. These more delicate
plants required greater care in the
first cultivation, but the difference
was not SO apparent later on as the
plants gained in size and vigor and
by the height of the growing season
the individual stalks from the one
eye pieces were as large and strong
as the stalks from the larger pieces.
AS the rate of seeding per acre was
increased, depending on the size of
seed pieces used. in like proportion
was the average number of plants or
stalks per hill increased. Increasing
the size of potato seed pieces, there.
fore, is equivalent to increasing the
number Of grains per hill in seeding
corn; and from extended observation
in the past as well as from expert
ments conducted, the results in either
case may reasonably be expected to
prove similar BY increasing the num-
Der of stalks per hill Cup to certain
limit the total yield may be somewhat
enlarged, but this gain in yield is often
at the expense of the size, develop
ment and quality of the product.

GOOD VENTILATION
IN POULTRY HOUSE
Simplest and Cheapest Way to
Furnish Fresh Air to Fowls
Is to Have Muslin Front.
By WALTER b. LEUTZD

Fresh air keeps the house pure and
dry. Nothing will cause disease more
readily than a damp house or one
which has a foul odor.
There are several ways to supply
ventilation, but the simplest and least
expensive is to have an open or mus
lin covered front These open fronts
on the houses should be protected in
some way to prevent the rains and
SHOWS from being blown into the in
terror. 1t is a good plan to attach
an awning made of wood or some
other light material, arranged in such
a manner that it can be lowered or
raised,
Muslin will keep out the cold and
rain to a certain extent, but when 1t
gets wet the cloth loses some of its
merit as a ventilator as damp muslin
will not permit "A free passage of air.
BY protecting the muslin with an
awning ii will not be affected in that
way The muslin should be put on
a frame so that ii can be removed on a
pleasant day, allowing fresh air to
circulate through the house on such
days.

Reforming a Chief.

In Among the Primitive Bakongo"
Mr.. John H. Weeks tells the story of
a chief, Mampuya of Kinkuzu, who
called on him at Wathen station to
request that a teacher be sent to his
town. He seemed a very quiet gentle
manly sort of a man, says Mr.. Weeks,
and | was very much surprised to
hear that he had not always been SO
deferential and modest
Mampuya at one time treated the
people of his town in very contemtu-
Gus fashion, and was always extorting,
on one plea or another, fowls, goats,
and other goods from them. At last
they could bear his eXtortions no long
er, and so they bound him securely,
put him on shelf in his own house,
built a fire under him, and sprinkled
quantity of red pepper on it. Then
they went out, and shut the door close
ly behind them. The pungent smoke
filed the hut, and Mampuya sneezed
tremendously. He would have died
if there had been a little more pepper
on the fire. At last they took him
out of the smoke, and tied a stick
across his chest to his extended arms
with the intention of Furnishing him
still further; but they let him off on
payment Of fine and many promises
of better behavior-which promises
he has scrupulously kept.

LITTLE TASKS FOR

Odd Jobs That He Can ProfitabIy

AS far as possible the farmer should

supply what the city purchasers call
for, and he should know that as much
is paid for attractiveness as for quail

In response to numerous inquiries
regarding the planting of different
quantities of seed potatoes per acre, a
series Of important tests were made in
Ohio to determine what the difference
was, if any. The experiments were
conducted with the utmost care and
interest.
In the first year were used 10, 10
25 and 40 bushels per acre. The seed
pieces were very carefully cut and
accurately weighed in each and every
rate of planting. In the 10 bushels
per acre rows one-eye seed pieces
were used in the 10 bushels per acre,
two eyes; in the 25 bushels per acre.
half tubers; and in the 40 bushels per
acre, whole tubers.
1t was interesting to note the differ
ence between the young plants of the
different sections, as they pushed up
through the soil in due time after
planting. The difference in vigor of
plants, for the first week or two, was
decidedly in favor of the whole tubers.
The plants from the one-eye pieces
were at first much more slender than
