IMPORTANT CHANGES IN RULES
RECOMMENDED.
tile Leaders and Urge Revision of
Regulations.

Augusta, Ga, May 6.-The Nation
al Cotton conference, which has been
in session here since Monday morn
ing, concluded. it's business and ad-
journed at ii o'clock this morning,
after recommending revision of the
Carolina mill rules and the New
England terms of buying and selling
cotton"
To meet with the heads of Organi-
zations represented in the New Eng
land agreement, composed of the
Arkwright club, the New England
Cotton Buyers association and the
Fall River association to present the
revisiOns as adopted and urge their
acceptance by those organizations, a
committee was appointed composed
of ]. S. Hall of Augusta, John S.
Hale Of Meridian, Mississippi Cotton
association; H. II. Gould Of the New
Orleans cotton exchange; j. A.
Leathers Of Spartanburg, and w. c.
Lawson, representing the Waco cotton
exchange and the Texas Cotton asso-
citation.
In the Carolina mill rules" the
principal revision is that which makes
drafts payable when due instead of
three days thereafter. and provisions
that mills bear the expense of freight
OF cotton in all instances where SELL
ers' weights are found correct upon
reweight at the mills.
The revision in the New England
mill rules permits delivery differences
to be the average differences between
grades as existing in New York, New
Orleans. Memphis and Augusta ex-
changes. In cases of arbitration the
buyer and seller are to select an ar
bitratOr each and they a third if the
two can not agree, the agreement to
be made within 30 days or finally
determined by the president Of the
manufacturers association in the
State wherein the mill is located. All
expense involved is to be set against
the party losing the arbitration. but
matters of length of staple and spe-
cific grade are to be arbitrated only
in New Orleans or Vickshuri;.
The most important New England
change is the following regulation on
the delivery Of cotton, which is added
to the existing rules, replacing those
in conflict:
Cotton must be weighed as
promptly as possible. but within As
hours, at the point Of discharge from
the time it is unloaded at Fall Riv-
err, New Bedford, Mass, and all 9th.
er practicable points. The receiving
weight shall be tagged on each bale
There shall be One-quarter pound al
lOwanco per bale allowance, after As
hours. for every days delay in
weighing"
Claims for excess tare, which have
heretofore been permissible within
ninc months. are changed to come
within a limit Of 80 days. and any
gain in weight at the mill is made tC
apply against any claim for excess
tare as made by the mill.
Upon conclusion Of these rcvisions
the conference adjourned.

Tomato Club Notes.

Setting the plants--Bcforc taking
up the plants, the soil in which they
are growing should be thorousilly
soaked in order TO make il adhere to
the roots. If the plants are not
grown in individual receptacles, as
large ball of soil as possible should
be taken up with each plant. A good
method to use in setting the plants is
to open a furrow With a turn blow
and set the plants in tIc furrow. If
the soil is dry, pour in ;.bout a pint
of water around each Plant. AS soon
as the water has soaked in, pull some
dry soil around the plant. If your
plants have developed a good LEAKAGE,
they should be "sheared" before trans
planting to 1-1O acre plats. This
shearing is q good thing to remember
in connection with all transplanting
1t takes some little time for the
newly set roots to adjust themselves
and get water from the soil. If there
is much leaf surface, the evaporation
will send away far more water than
the plants get from the roots and
they will die. When the leaves are
cut away, evaporation is checked un-
til the roots can begin to do their
work. Care must be taken, however,
not to cut out the bud from which the
plant grows.
The distance of planting depends on
the methods of culture. Where the
plants are to be pruned to one or two
stems and tied to stakes make the
| rows to 4 feet apart and set the
plants 2 to 2 1-2 feet apart in the
row.
| If the plants are not to be trained
to stakes, set them to feet apart
in the row with the rows feet
apart
FertiiZer-Even whore manure is
used, commercial fertilizer should be
applied. as the manure will not sup
ply all the elements Of plant food
needed. For soil that is manurcd at
the rate Of to 3 loads on the 1-1O
acre plats, it is advisable to apply 10
to 20 pounds of nitrate of soda, SO to
100 pounds Of 10 per cent acid phos-
phate and Is to 80 pounds of muriate
or sulphate of potash, to the plat.
Where the soil is well supplied with
potash the amount nf nuriate or sui
phate Of potash cCuld lie reduced. On
fairly rich soils use the smaller
amounts suggested and on poorer
soils use the larger amounts The
fertilizer can be applied broadcast or
sown in the row. When distributed
in the furrow, the fertilizer should be
we'll mixed with the soil by running
a cultivator along the row. After the
fertilizer is we'll mixed with the soil
in furrow, the ridges should be thrown
up over the row and leveled off with
a light drag. 1t should be noted that
cotton seed meal is not used, and that
| u,
the more so, for pruned plants. Air
Stacked lime applied to the soil at the
rate Of 20 to 200 pounds to the tenth
acre willie benefit tomato crop, if it
is thoroughly plowcd under or har-
rOwcd in during the winter. A sur
face sprinkling Of lime should be
made around plants now. Lime i'm
proves soil conditions by correcting
acidity, assisting in dccompOsng hu-
mus or vegetable matter, making a
stiff clay soil porous and a light soil
heavier.
