1912 netting them fully as much sta
pie cotton per acre and far more mon
ey than short staple varieties, and the
crop of 1913, owing to the extremely
short season and lower staple pre-
miums, netting them slightly less
than short staple. The acreage in
this section will again be planted very
largely to staples this year and l
think our farmers are acting wisely.
The many failures that I know of in
other sections have been due prin-
cipally to poor varieties, mixed seed,
bad ginning and lack of marketing IA
cilities, though a part of the trouble
has generally been caused by lack of
knowledge by the farmers themselves
as to how to cultivate and handle
their cotton.
To be conspicuously and permanent
ly successful in any section, the sta
pie cotton industry requires the coop
Grafton of the plant breeder, the in
telligent farmer, the ginner and the

COMPOSITION ON TREES.
BY Maude Plexico, Sixth Grade
Gantts School.

Trees are of great value 20 the
world IN many ways, but the tru,.
value OF trees are scarcely realized
until we consider the suffering Of
people who live in countries that are
almost without trees. Part of India.
Egypt, China and Korea are in this
treeless condition. In winter the
people suffer intensely from cold and
have to work very hard to supply
themselves with even little fuel.
feople are so extravagant with wooo
and cut down many young trees,
shrubbery, ETC., that our country Is
IN danger of becoming country that
VIII lack trees enough to furnish
lumber for our homes and to supplv
factories.
Some of the uses of trees are to
make lumber for building purposes.
to make furniture such as mahogany:
wood of the walnut is very valuable
for furniture; cedar makes excellent
posts and is used for making pencils
and water buckets. Fruit trees are
valuable for their fruit, which thew
produces, such as oranges, appIeS.
peaches and many other kind. Peo,
pie can preserve and jelly the fruit
for their home purposes or to place
on the market.
Rubber is made from a certain
kind of tree. This rubber is used To-,
many different purposes. Turpentine
IS made from the sap of the nine
tree: The beautiful scenery ano
shade which the trees afford gives
pleasure to us all. Even if thev
were not useful for anything but
their scenery and shade it is enough
TO make us all like them. To get ali
the pleasure possible out of life in
the country we should know and like
me trees, know them by their leaves
tneir branches, their bark and their
SEED. Notice the difference in the
form OF these that stand alone goat.
ing with sunshine and those starved
crowded forests even. In the winter
tne trees are interesting. The dif-
ference of trees may be recognize.
IN their habit of branches.
some of the large trees are in
callfornia. They are called the Cali
1ornia trees. These are so great that
roads are sometimes cut throuoh
tnem without injuring the heart Of
the trees very much. There are On
many dinerent kinds Of trees it wouId
~ .. useless Tor US to try to name
them. All trees have ages as waII
as man. 1t may be told by exam;n-
,.ng a log or stump left after it has
Ialien. On the smoothly cut end ~
Ihe log there are a number of Tobt
co,ored rings with large or dark col
;0lored 30 layer is formed each veor
ne number Of light rings tells In
years the age of that ner+ 90
tbe 10y or the tree. | can say that
pnr,d ,rees are useful plants to the
"orio and also to the people.

ID. r. COKER ADVISES
THE COTTON PLANTERS.
Expert on Question Advises Planting
of Big Boiled Varieties Under
Certain Conditions.

The following communication was
written by d. R. Coker to the edito,
of The Progressive Farmer:
In your issue of March 21 l notice
a short article under the heading "Ad-
vises Against Long Staple Cotton
in which some sections of an address
delivered by me before the South
Carolina Plant Breeders association
are quoted. | also notice in today >
issue of The State newspaper an
article entitled Cocker Does Not Ad-
wise Giving Up Long Staple" which
article reprints letter recently
written by me to a friend in an ad-
joining county. In my address before
the Plant Breeders association, l
went very fully into the long staple
situation in this State and set forth
the advantages of some of these va
rietieS as well as the disadvantages
under which some of our farmers have
labored. | have never advised the
indiscriminate planting of staple cot
ton under all conditions and a care
full review of all my utterances or
the subject will show that they are
of the same general tenor. In order
to completely clear up the subject. I
VIII briefly state my exact position ::
I strongly advise the planting of
the four or five big boiled productive
staple cottons bred in recent years
from short stable varieties, by farm
ers who are properly situated ano
who understand the essentials of sue
cess with this industry. The raiser of
staple cotton should either live in
hauling distance of go, = staple mar
ket or should know how to reach
buyers who will give him the value
for his cotton. He should know how
to keep up the purity and uniformity
of his strain of seed. He should have
available a ginner who can and will
gin his cotton properly and without
mixing either lint or seed with short
staple. He should know enough about
staple production not to plant on
poor, worn out land and not to crowd
the plant too closely on any kind OF
soil. He should understand that gin
ming staple cotton while not wet ruins
the staple and makes it almost un-
saleable and that very low grades can
not be sold at much premium over
short cotton.
On the other hand, / strongly ad-
wise all farmers to avoid planting
staple cotton who can not get a pure
pedigreed strain of seed of one of
the varieties which have been making
about as good lin some instances bet
teri yields in North and South Caro-
lima as the short staple varieties.
And strongly advise against the
planting of any kind of staple seed
where proper facilities for ginning
and marketing can not be obtained.
In this immediate section the new
staple cotton industry has put many
thousands Of dollars into the pockets
of the farmers during the past four
years the crops of 1910, 1911 and

Suggestions for Dat Grow rs.

Disease. There are only two dis
eases that seriously affect the oat
crop in the South, namely, rust and
smut. There is no known treatment
for either after the disease has de-
veloped on the plant.
The damp warm weather which pre-
walls in the South is favorable 70 tn
development of rust in oats, and the
best means Of preventing this DIS
ease is TO plant only seed Of the red
rust proof variety. Where possible
secure native grown seed. The so
called rust proof oats from the North
and West when planted in the South
nearly always rust Planting on well
drained soil and fertilizing properly
will also lessen the damage from this
disease.
Dat smut is prevalent in nearly all
sections Of the South and the crop
is frequently damaged from ten TO
twenty per cent by this disease. 1t
can be prevented by treating the seed
before planting with formalin solu-
ton. To one pound OF full-strength
formaline add forty gallons OF water
Place the grain on clean floor and
with a sprinkling pot apply one gal
Ion Of the formalin solution to each
bushel Of grain Turn the oats with
a shovel until all are thoroughly wet.
The seed should then be covered with
a canvas or sacks for two hours az
ter which they should be spread out
to dry. Where the seed are sown by
hand Immediately after treatment
drying is unnecessary.
