new Machine PICKS COTTON
Harvester Recently Demonstrated
Which Sucks Lint Out Of BoIIs
by Use Of Compressed Air.

While the South has been concen-
trating its entire attention at present
on the question of the marketing Of
this years cotton crop, a cotton manu-
facurer Of Westbrook, Me-. has been
perfecting machine which, IL what Is
claimed for 1t is true, is of more vital
concern to the production Of this great
staple than all the subsidies and bond
issues that the federal government
could be induced to grant, says Bos-
~ Transcript. This is a cotton har-
vester, recently demonstrated at Fair
void. S. c., where it picked cotton sue
cessfully by sucking the lint out Of the
bolls by compressed air, somewhat on
the order, apparently, OF the vacuum
cleaner. Its economical value has not
been proved. and 1t Is also said to
have the defect of picking dried leaves
along with the cotton, but the inven-
tor claims that this objection will be
overcome by the employment of ex.
pert operators.

Shrapnel in Warfare.

Shrapnel is most effective against
prone skirmishers at ranges from
1000 to 5000 meters. when burst
twenty-eight to twenty-five meters
short of the target. and against stand
ing skirmishes at the same ranges
when burst fifty-six to forty-five me-
tiers short of the target. Black also
points out that a single shrapnel from
light field howitzer produces a
greater number of hits when the point
of burst is favorably situated than one
nred from a field gun.
Shrapnel is also playing most i'm
portant part in aerial warfare. and of
these antiaircraft shrapnel. all OF
which embody the same general es-
sentials, there is perhaps none more
effective than that known as "Ehrhardt
antiaircraft shrapnel."

FARMERS ARE NOW UNITING
Spread Of Cooperation Seen In Middle
West-WorId's Greatest Business
to- Be Organized.

Cooperation is growing very rapid
ly in the middle West Just now. This
is because the farmers are learning 20
work together. They are showing that
they had overcome the greatest drag
the business has had-the inability
of the producers to unite. The worlds
greatest business is at last to be or
ganized, says Farmers Mail and
Breeze.
The main reason for this rapid de-
velopment in the last two years Is
that farmers are getting to the point
with their organizations where they
can offer rewards for leadership. Take
in Kansas, for example, which is the
center for this development Of CO.
operation in the middle West, there
are 10000 members Of the Farmers
union, 200 chapters in the Farmers
grange and a large number of COOP
erative organizations that are not
directly connected with these organ
izations. The business of organized
farming is getting to the point where
rewards are IN sight for leadership.

FARMER SHOULD KEEP BOOKS
Not Necessary to Keep Careful and
Exhaustive Record, but Some Kind
Of Accounting 10 Urgent.

Did you ever know a business man
who ran a business without keeping
books? You probably never did, but
II Is certain that you know several,
yes, scores OF farmers who keep abb
solutely no kind of records. writes
Grady Thompson Of Oklahoma in Farm
Progress. Farming Is business In the
truest sense. and farmers should by
all means keep records Of their crops
and expenses.
Much has been written on the keep
ing of farm accounts and how to keep
farm accounts, but after reading the
articles the average farmer will not
take the time and trouble to follow
the instructions. The methods advo-
Gated by many writer's are entirely too
complex and require too much time.
The method which any man living on
the farm will use is one that requires
but little time and one that is simple.
No person after a day of work cares
to spend an hour or so In book work.
and unless the method used Is such
that only few minutes day Is need
ed to keep accounts the person will
put 1t of, and consequently part Of
the record is forgotten or never done.
1t is not necessary to keep such a
Is necessary that some form Of &C
counting be used; the simpler the bet
ter. Every farmer should make an
inventory of his farm. including live
stock, farm implements, and every
thing Of value on his farm. In short.
the inventory is a statement Of the
value of the farm In dollars and cents.
Unless an inventory Is kept no person
engaged in the farming business could
tell whether the farm has made money.
Many people object to farm accounts
on the basis that there are too many
estimates taken. Estimates must be
made In any line Of business. and
farming on the whole Is not different
from any other business.
After making an inventory, an ex-
pense account should be kept showing
only the money expended and re-
ceived. This simple record will show
at the end Of the year how money has
been expended and what things have
brought in money. II farmer wishes
to keep any record Of certain crops
they should be- simple. Probably 1t
would not be advisable to keep a rec
ord of each crop. but 1t might be a
good plan to keep a record of one OF
two crops each year. in ADDITION to
keeping an expense account and in.
ventory.
Some people might ask: What
good is all this work to bring me
Won't my bank book show me wheth.
er or not am making money!" One
of the greatest gains to be obtained
from these records is in studying
them, finding out what crops have
paid, where mistakes have been made
and last. but not least. to profit by mis-.
takes and failures. Ask the success.
full farmers of today and every one OF
them will say that records must be
kept and studied.

KEEP OUT PINK BOLLWORM
Measures Adopted to Prevent impor>
tation Of Cotton Pest-Fumlga-
ton Probably Required.

The rules and regulations in regard
to the importation of foreign cotton
lint, which were discussed at a con-
ference in Washington. have now been
promulgated by the secretary OF agri-
culture. The regulations are substan-
TALLY those which we're submitted for
the consideration of representative
cotton merchants and manufacturers
at the conference The date when
they become effective, however. has
been changed from June 1. 1915, to July
l, 1915, and the regulation requiring
fumigation at the port Of entry has
been omitted for the present.
The purpose of these regulations is
to prevent the entry into the United
States of the pink bollworm, which.
in those countries where 1t has gained
a foothold. has proved to be one of
the most destructive of cotton pests.
1t is frequently found in the cotton
seed, and as some seed Is almost in
considered safe to permit unrestricted
importations of the latter. The new
regulations provide for the entry OF
foreign cotton under permit. limit the
sale and delivery of such imported
cotton to mills which have obtained a
license for its use, and require these
mills to adopt certain measures In or
der to obtain their licenses.
Fumigation of cotton at the port OF
entry will probably be required. The
regulations on this subject, however.
have been omitted until the results Of
the extensive experiments now under
way to ascertain the effect Of fumiga-
ton are known.
In order to determine both the eff
cheney of the treatment as a means Of
killing the pink bollworm larvae as
well as the effect of the treatment up
on the lint itself, committee Of cot
ton merchants and cotton manfactur-
ers have agreed to supply the depart
ment of agriculture with some sixty
bales of Egyptian and other foreign
cottons. These will be fumigated in
Washington. and after fumigation the
bales will be submitted to various
mills for spinning and milling tests. in
comparison with cotton of a similar
grade which has not been fumigated
The bureau of plant industry, the bu-
reau of chemistry. and the bureau Of
standards will also make a careful ex-
animation of the fumigated cotton.
The fumigation is to be accomplished
by means of hydrocyanic-acid gas in a
practically complete vacuum. Appara-
tus is now available for fumigating go
or more bales of cotton at one time
by this method. 1t is also practicable
to construct an apparatus which can
fumigate a carload of cotton.

cultivated before picking begins. Even
when there is a mulch 1t is good plan
to remove this material and cultivate;
it can be replaced.
Rotate With legumes.
A systematic rotation of crops is
just as important in growing straw
berries as it is in growing other crops.
but very few growers practice it to any
great extent. Soil on which straw
berries are raised year after year does
not produce as large crops Of fruit as
1t would were a good system of rota-
ton followed. In any system of rota-
ton some leguminous crops should be
grown and turned under one year In
every three or four years. and cult
waited crop grown on the soil the sea-
son before the strawberry plants are
set.
For the South the following system
can be employed to good advantage:
Strawberries for one or two years. fol-
lowed by cowpeas after the strawber-
ries are harvested. Turn under the
cowpeas in the fall or winter or har-
vest them for hay. The next spring
plant the land to some vegetable crop.
such as early cabbage. AID follow with
a fall crop of vegetables or cowpeas
for turning under. Plant the land to
corn the following spring and plant
cowpeas between the rows. After the
corn is harvested. turn under the
stalks and 'the pea vines.
When strawberries are planted In
the fall, they can be set out after the
cowpeas and cornstalks are turned
under. A second system that can be
followed is strawberries one or two
years, followed by a fall crop Of vege-
tables after the berries are harvested.
The next spring plant to vegetables.
and FOLLOW with cowpeas. and then
either plant strawberries again or
grow corn and cowpeas followed with
strawberries. In sections where vege-
tables are not grown commercially.
oats can follow the cowpeas that are
turned under the season the straw
berry field is plowed. and either cow
peas or peanuts can follow the oats.
Tn following year plant the land to
corn, with cowpeas between the rows;
then return to strawberries. BY fol-
lowing a good rotation system. such
as has been suggested, the yield OF
strawberries will be greatly increased
and the cost of cultivation lowered.
Harvesting of the strawberry crop
and the kind of packages used In mar
keting are also dealt with in Farmers
Bulletin No. 664, which may be had
by application to the United States
