The large banking and bushes sin
terests Of the country have done much
to depress conditions. They have been
calamity howlers ever since the be-
ginning of the war. While there
should be no effort to minimize actual
conditions, at the same time, there is
absolutely no reason for the financial
panic which has been brought abous,
in our humble opinion, largely by
those whose duty II is to reassure the
masses Of the people. 1t is poor gen.
eral indeed, who runs at the first APP
pearance Of the enemy. The banks
of the country are too valuable and
convenient for their existence to be
jeopardized by their refusal'to help
when help Is most needed. Ifthey are
to stand simply as savings institutions,
they will be worth but little to, the peo-
pie. While money in London, in
nation at war, brings IL per cent,
in New York, in peaceful country,
money is Quilted at per cent. For
want Of better reason, we must con-
tent ourselves with the belief that this
is due to the high cost Of living, for
which, we are told, the farmer Is re-
sponsible.-Port Gibson Reveille.

title of a very attractive, illustrat-
ed booklet which has just been is
sued by the Mobile & Ohio Railroad
and Southern Railway in Mississippi
for the purpose Of placing the adj
vantages of the rich country served
by these lines before prospective
homeseekers and investors. This
booklet will be handed visitors to the
exhibits which the M. & o. and the
Southern Railway in Mississippi will
make at fairs and expositions in the
north and west this fall in connection
with Southern Railway and affiliated
lines and will also be given a general
distribution over the entire country.
illustrated with views showirg
what the thrifty people in this sec
ton are accomplishing in agriculture,
stock raising and manufactures, the
booklet treats in detail of the terri
tory, its physical divisions, soils, eli
mate and products, its resources, &C
Invites, and industries and its vast
opportunity for the homeseeker and
the manufacturer. The section IS
described as being especially inviting
for new people and new capital at
this time on account Of present low
priced lands, cheap labor and good,
nearby markets.

the oats with weeder or light har-
row to work the nitrate of soda into
the soil.
The above formula is suitable for
all sandy or sandy loan soils of the
coastal plains requiring a complete
fertilizer.
For Clay Soils.
There is enough potash for all
crops found in most of the soils Of
the South. This is especially true Of
the red clays and sandy loans with
red clay subsoil that are we'll sup
piled with vegetable matter. On soils
rich in potash but deficient in phos-
phorous and nitrogen, apply, at time
of seeding, $50 pounds of 16 per cent
acid phosphate per acre and work
well into the soil. About the first OF
March or just before the oats begin
to joint, broadcast 100 pounds of nj
trate of soda per acre and go over
the oats with a section or spike-tooth
harrow, with the teeth slanted back
ward. This will serve the double
purpose of working the nitrate of
soda into the soil and giving the
oats a good cultivation
For the Lime Prairie Soils.
The lime prairie soils of Mississi-
pippi and Alabama are, as rule,
we'll supplied with both PHOSPHORUS
and potash, but most Of these soils
have been cropped in cotton continu-
ously for a number of years and are
very deficient in nitrogen. On such
soils broadcast, before planting, eth
err 800 pounds of cottonseed meal or
600 pounds of cotton seed per acre
and work wei Into the soil. If the
cotton seed or meal are not available,
then top dress with 100 pounds of nj
trate of soda in the spring just be-
fore the oats begin to joint.
1t will not be necessary to top
dress in the spring with nitrate Of
soda, or to use any other nitrogen
eous fertilizers, where oats are plant
ed after a heavy crop of COW peas,
soy beans, velvet beans, melilotus or
alfalfa.
Barnyard manure is an excellent
fertilizer for oats, but so little barn
yard manure is saved on the average
cotton farm that it can be used more
profitably on other crops.
Varieties.
The red rust-proof or related va
rieties such as the Appler, Culber-
son or Bancroft, constitute the best
general purpose oats for the cotton
belt. The Virginia Gray or Winter
Turf oats is perhaps better suited to
the extreme northern part of the
cotton belt.
Many farmers in the south have

1t has been fully demonstrated
that most of the land in the South
is well adapted to oats. 1t has also
been clearly demonstrated that oats

and fortified judiciously can be
made profitable crop in any part
of the South. The high value Of oats
fer feeding to horses and mules ii
generally we'll understood.
They are especially valuable for
feeding to colts and other growing
stock. A grain ration of half oats
and half corn makes an excellent feed
for work stock and is much better
than a grain ration of corn alone. Dat
hay is equal in feeding value to the
best timothy hay.

BUY A BALE OF COTTON.
Let's quit "hollering for help"
Let's help ourselves!
Let's show to the world the real
soundness and stability of the South.
Well-meaning big men have made
"a million suggestions as. to the prop
er solution of the cotton problem, -
which is now confronting US, but in
its last analysis the little man Che
one to perform the operation, so let's
all get busy and buy bale Of cot
ton.
II we wait to theorize on the ques-
ton, or sit helplessly by, we will soon
be in the midstt Of the cotton shipping
season, the farmer will be without a
market, business will go slack, and
the depression will be great.
"The Lord helps those who help
themselves
Let's help ourselves the best way
in the world is to bet the Lord on
our side.
All Of which is suggested in no
flippant, irreverent spirit, but with a
due appreciation of what the words
mean.
"BUY A BALE OF COTTONp
There's the solution of the problem
in a nutshell.
Let every man buy at least one
bale, be he merchant, manufacturer,
banker, clerk or laborer.
Every man who does this is simply
helping himself, he is preserving the
stability Of his own business, or that
of his employer, and protecting his
own job.
When you buy bale Of cotton, you
are simply loaning yourself money
for immediate business necessities. It
will come back to you with a hand
some interest. "A bale Of cotton il
as good as gold" The poor market
will at least be only temporary. A
few months hence and you will wish
you had bought fifty bales.
It's like putting money in the
bank--with better rate Of interest
than the bank will pay.
After you have bought your bale,
store it. If you haven't any other
place for it, put it in the parlor Of
your home. Let it stand there as a
monument to your public spirit, pat
riotism and good business sense.

South. The farmer MUST find a
market for his cotton. A few FARM

proved them through years of selec-
ton. These oats arc usually known
by the name of the grower and con
stitute the most reliable source of
seed oats that can be found.
/ Homo grown seed are much more
reliable than seed brought in from
distant sections. Many failures with
the oat crop in the south are due to
the planting of northern or western
grown oats.
Time of Seeding.
The best time for seeding varies
with the latitude and the variety Of
oats to be planted In the northern
third of the cotton belt the best time
for planting is between September Is
and October 20; in the central third
of the cotton belt, from October 1 to
November 10, and in the southern
third Of the cotton belt, from October
10 to November Is. Throughout the
greater part of the cotton belt, oats
sown in October will yield on an aver
age of at least so per cent. more than
oats sown after Christmas.
Methods of Seeding.
The best results have been obtained
by planting with grain drill. If
grain drill is not available the seed
may be sown broadcast and covered
shallow with a pillow or disc harrow.
For the northern third of the cotton
belt the open furrow system Of plant
ing is the safest. This is done by
opening the drills with a shovel pillow
IL to ID inches apart, sowing the
seed in this furrow and covering
lightly. There are especially COIL
structed grain drills on the market
for planting oats in the open fur
row.
Amount of Seed Per Acre.
The quality of seed should be about
the same for any of the above meth
DDS. From 2 to IL bushels Of seed
per acre have given the best returns.
Rust in Oats.
The damp, warm weather which
prevails in the south is favorable to
the development Of rust in oats, and
the best means of preventing this
disease is by planting only seed of
the red rust-proof variety. Where
possible. secure home grown seed.
The so-called rust-proof oats from
the north and west when planted in
the south nearly always rust. Plant
ing on we'll drained soil and fertiliz-
ing properly will lessen the damage
from this disease.
Smut in Oats.
Dat smut is prevalent in nearly all
sections of the South and the crop is
frequently damaged from 10 to 20
rer cent bv this disease. 1t can be
prevented by treating the seed, be-
fore planting. with a formalin solu-
ton. To one pound Of full strength
formalin add 40 gallons of water.
Place the grain on clean floor and
with sprinklinp not apply one gal
Ion of the formalin solution to each
bushel Of grain. Turn the oats with
. shovel until al are thoroughly wet.
The seed should then be covered with
? canvas or sack for two hours after

Some Essentials for Successful Dat
Growing in the South.

1. Plant oats in October. 2. Plant
on well drained soil. 8. Prepare a
sgood seed bed before planting. A.
v'ertilize judiHiously. 5. Plant home
grown seed of a rust-I:oof variety. 6.
Treat oat seed for smut before plant
ing. 7. In the northern third of the
cotton belt plant in open burrows to
prevent winter killing. s. Clear the
land of stumps before planting to
oats.
Preparation.
The land should be we'll broken
'sveral weeks before planting, if
ctical, in order to allow settling
foS SOIL The surface should be
~ can6hly prepared with disc or
dem harrow before planting. On
larSailRhere cowpeas or velvet beans
haxe-leen grown and made into hay,
pillow under the stubble to depth of 8
or 10 inches, and before seeding run
over the land first with the disc har-
row and then with the section har-
row to prepare a good seed bed. Oats
do best when planted on firm, but
we'll pulverized seed bed. Deep break
ing is preferable if done sufficiently
early to allow the soil to become,
firmed before planting If blowing
cannot be done long enough before
seeding to allow the soil to become
firmed and settled by the rains, it
should be thoroughly packed with
heavy drag or roller after discing
and narrowing. On freshly moved
pea stubble, where the land was well
prepared for the peas, fairly salts
factory seed bed may be made with
the disc harrow by thoroughly disc
ing to depth of three to four inches.
Fertilizers.
On soils that normally produce rs
bushels of corn per acre, oats can be
profitably grown without the aid Of
commercial fertilizers.
For Deep, Light Sandy Soils.
The deep, light sandy soils along
the costal plains are, as rule, de-
ficient in both PHOSPHORUS and pot
ash, and, unless cowpeas, soy beans,
velvet beans, begger weeds, or some
other leguminous crop has been
grown on these soils and turned I'M
der, they will generally be found de-
ficicrt in nitrogen. For sandy soils
requiring complete fertilizer,
broadcast 300 pounds Of IS per cent
acid phosphate, 100 pounds of cot
tonseed meal, AMI either 200 pounds
OF KANT or so pounds of muriste Of
potash per acre, at planting time and
work we'll into the soil. In the spring,
just before the oats begin to boot"
or joint, broadcast 100 pounds of nj
trate of soda per acre and run over

Pineapple Fritters.-Sift together a
cupful of flour half teaspoonful of
baking powder, a quarter of tea
spoonful of SALT add can Of pine
apple from it's juice, sprinkle with
sugar and let stand one hour. Dip
each piece in the fritter batter, which
should be thick enough to hold it's
shape when dropped into hot fat. If
too thin add more flour. Fry in deep,
hot fat, drain on paper and dust with
powdered sugar. A sauce of the juice
of pineapple with sugar and butter
makes them still more delicious if
served with them.
