HIGH VALUE OF COTTONSEED
Temporary Closing Of Cotton Mar
kets Brought Out Interesting
Facts Concerning By-Products.

There was one thing the tempo
brought about that has proved inter
esting and valuable-that is directing
attention to the value of the cotton
seed industry" said Herman A. Gott-
man of Atlanta, while in Washington
recently. Few persons realize what
tremendous growth the cottonseed
business has made in 20 years. not
even ~ome of our cotton producers,
who were so anxious to get rid of
their staple that they took little &C.
count of the seed. In the infant
stages of the industry cottonseed
brought only six to eight dollars ton
the oil was In little demand, and the
bulls had no market. Today the
business of crushing the cottonseed
has grown into an immense industry
More than 100000 bales of cotton fiber
are marketed every years. Cottonseed
is bringing at this time the high price
Of $50 a ton, while the cotton is com
handing only two-thirds its average
The value of the by-products of the
cotton, therefore, has been brought
home more forcibly to our people. ant
| to the people of every section, thar
ever before, and has advertised cot
tonseed oil and other by-products fal
more extensively than could have beer
accomplished in any other way il

Bird Calls and Their Names.

Most of us know the chickadee vhsn
We hear him calling, over and over,
"Chick-a-dee, dee dee, Chick-a-dee, dee
dee," But when he sings his clear
whistling note, Phoebe, Phoebe" we
are likely to mistake him for the
phoebe bird. The chickadee stays in
the North in winter, and the phoebe
does not come North till the early
spring. The phoebe bird sings its
name over and over, a very sweet but
penetrating sound. The peabody bird
says, Peabody, peabody. peabody,
over and over, in rather senseless
way as If he went round in circle
Another bird that sings his name. is
Bob White, the quail. Only he often
says Poor Bob White!" His notes
20 I'D and down, and are stronger than
the notes of the smaller birds and may
be heard at a long distance. or course
these birds do not really sing theiI
names! But people listening to them
have fancied that these names arc
what the notes sound like, and 81
they have given the bird the name.

HARROW THE WINTER GRAIN
Work Is Best Done In Spring When
Wheat First Begins to Grow
Safest to Take Precaution.

Narrowing wheat is advisable II the
work can be done at the right time,
anf II there is a crust on the surface
of the soil, and the soil is dry. 1t is
not advisable to harrow wheat when
1t is wet, or II the work cannot be
done at the right time. The best way
to do the work is to use a peg-toothed
harrow and run lengthwise of the
drilled rows of the wheat. The work
is best done when the wheat first be-
gins to grow in the spring or before
it is much more than six inches high.
II the grain is too thick. narrowing
will frequently give a good increase
in yield, particularly in dry seasons.
In favorable seasons when there is
plenty of rainfall, narrowing will have
little effect. 1t is safest to take this
precaution, for no one can tell what
the weather conditions will be, and 1t
is reasonable to suppose that there
will be a dry period before the crop
is matured.-Department Of Agronomy

my HEALTH
IS PERFECT
So Says A North Carolina Lady In
Telling What She Owes To Cardui,
The Woman's Tonic.

Mt. Airy, N. C.-Mrs. Ada Hull, Of
this place, says: About six years ago
/ got in very bad health. ! suffered
terrible pains in my abdomen and
back. I dreaded to see the sun rise
and / dreaded to see 1t set, for / suf-
feredsu agony. No one except my
self will ever know how badly l suf-
fered. The doctor said was suffering
as a result Of the menopause.
AS nothing gave me any relief, I
asked the doctor If l hadn't better try
Cardui. He said, 1t might help you,
and told my husband to get me bot
tie. At this time ! was so weak
could not lift my head, and my voice
was so weak, people had to lean to-
wards the bed to hear what / said. I
looked so bad and had such q dark
color that looked like dead woman,
and my relatives thought l would
never get up again.
I took one bottle Of Cardui and II
relieved the pain and suffering SO
much that my husband got another
bottle, and that improved me still
more. began to strengthen and
gradually got well. I have now had
better health for six years, than
ever had in all my life. I have taker
no medicine since, and my health 1!
perfect.
Cardui is the finest medicine {
woman could USE"

HEADWAY OF COOPERATION
Becoming Popular and Permanent
Means Of Doing Business Among
Farmers in Many States.

In many states of the Union, Co
operation has become a permanent
means of doing business among
farmers. Massachusetts, New York,
South Carolina, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas, Idaho,
Oregon, Washington and California
are among the states that have CO.
operation firmly established. says
Farmer. With them, it is a real part
of the farmers business organiza-
ton.
More states are gradually coming
into line, some much. slower than
others. They have all recognized Co
operation as a permanent thing. TO
this end, they have passed special In
corporation laws so that societies may
organize readily, and may legally In
clude cooperative ideas.
Utah is fast coming into line.
There are already cooperative fire
insurance companies, cooperative
buying and selling associations, and
cooperative fruit marketing associa-
lions in the state. Our state IN
common with many others, still needs
to add certain laws to her statute
books that will enable these organiza-
tions to include many of the more
important cooperative ideas which,
at present, cannot be legally en-
ployed.
Wisconsin is one Of the fore
most states in cooperation. She can
now boast of over $500 cooperative
companies. About one-third OF these
are creameries and cheese factories.
Then, there are livestock companies,
fruit exchanges, telephone companies,
mutual insurance companies. and
grain elevators.
Nor is Minnesota to be outdone by
her neighbor on the south. DR.. L. D.
H. Weld of the Minnesota expert
ment station has recently issued a
bulletin in which he reports over
1900 cooperative farmers organiza
tions in his state, doing an an
nual business of some sixty million
dollars. AS in Wisconsin, about one
third of the companies in Minnesota
are devoted to creameries and cheese
factories. The remainder are dis
tributed among grain elevators, stock
shipping associations, insurance com
panies, and telephone companies.
. Minnesota adds to it's list the va
riety of cooperative stores and CO
operative potato warehouses.
These two states at present stan'
out most prominently in the bushes
of cooperation among farmers, witt
u New York state as close competition
e In the latter state they are alread
r holding annual conventions of &C
a operative societies for the purpose O
n exchanging ideas.

MAINTAIN FERTILITY OF SOIL
Judicious Rotation of Crops, Coupled
With Careful Saving Of Ferti-
lizers Is Recommended.

II you have money in the bank you
can check it out. When you have
exhausted your deposits the banker
calls a halt on you. The soil is a
bank Of deposit. When you have drawn
out all of the necessary elements to
plant growth you can get no crop.
Fertile soils contain humus, nitro
gen, phosphorus, potash, water, ETC.
These must be in such form that the
plan roots can make use of them. II
is a well-established fact that an ami
NAL does better when given a variety
of foods. This holds true of plants.
You may withhold a necessary ele-
ment and the plant not die for a time,
but 1t will fail to thrive.
Each plant takes from the soil nec-
essary amounts of nitrogen, phosphor.
US, ETC., different plants taking differ
ent amounts of these elements. 1t is
evident, then, that II you continue sell.
ing crops from the land and putting
nothing back, that some day the neces
sary elements will be lacking and
crops will not grow profitably. Your
bank account will be exhausted and
checks refused.
We have called attention many times
to the necessity of either raising STOCK
and returning manure to the soil, OIL
applying commercial fertilizers, says
Western Farmer. While theoretically
it Is impossible to return all to thu
soil that is taken out, a judicious 70
tation of crops, coupled with a careful
saving Of farm manures and such ref
use as straw. cornstalks, etc., will
maintain fertility SO that years O
farming will not demand a great out
lay of money for fertilizers.
There are certain times you canno
get your money out of the bank. Like
wise there are certain ways in which
soil fertility may be locked I'D so
plant can't get at it. A soil may b.
ever so rich in necessary element
and yet not produce crop. 1t ma,
need drainage so the roots are no
drowned. 1t may be plowed in such
way or time that great clods ar
formed instead Of fine, pulverize
condition Of the soil. Fertility is locke
in a clod.
Just as your funds may be take
from the bank by robbers. 30 may fel
tility be taken from the soil by weed,
The man who doesn't understand th
soil Is like a man who has lost tn
key to his money box.

1t is not always practicable to mulch

Thinking

Few men really think, although
each would deny the accusation.
Although man is supposed to be a
rational thinking animal, thinking
is actually the hardest work and
the rarest he does. We hear a
thing, ordinarily, and Immediately
form an opinion about it. Usual
| ly seif-interest is at the bottom of
our conclusions. We are told, for
instance, that woman suffrage is
la good thing and we ought to have
la law allowing women to vote.
Do we look into the matter? Do
we study the arguments for and a
gainst woman's suffrage? 1t is
the same with the tariff, prohibit
ton, the unions, the Mexican stu
alton, the European war, in fact
everything we have anything to
do with. How much more ration
al it would be to hold up our
judgement on a question until we
have had an opportunity to study
it from every angle. Then form
an opinion and stand or fall by
that opinion, until we learn some
thing cf which we have been in
Ignorance that might change our
minds on the subject. Not to be
open to conviction is pig-headed.
Narrowness is the bane of our
whole system of civilization.
