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

There was one thing the tempo
rary closing of the cotton market
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 some 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 oottonseed
brought only six to eight dollars a 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, and
to the people Of every section. than
ever before, and has advertised cot
tonseed oil and other by-products far
more extensively than could have been
accomplished In any other way in
years."

HARROW THE WINTER GRAIN
Work 10 Best Done In Spring When
Wheat First Begins to Grow
Safest to Take Precaution.

Narrowing wheat is advisable IL the
work can be done at the right time,
anf IL there Is a crust on the surface
of the soil. and the soil is dry. It is
not advisable to harrow wheat when
1t is wet, or if 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 it
is reasonable to suppose that there
will be a dry period before the crop
is matured.-Departme of Agronomy.

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 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-
tons 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. DIR. l.. ID.
H. Weld of the Minnesota expert
ment station has recent, issued
bulletin in which he reports over
1000 cooperative farmers organiza-
lions 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 its list the va
riety of cooperative stores and CO.
operative potato warehouses.
These two states at present stand
out most prominently in the business
of cooperation among farmers. with
New York state as a close competitor
In the latter state they are already
holding annual conventions of CO.
operative societies for the purpose of
exchanging ideas.

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 a rather senseless
way as IL he went round in a circle.
Another bird that sings his name is
Bob White, the quail. Only he often
says Poor Bob White!" His notes
go up 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 their
names! But people listening to them
have fancied that these names are
what the notes sound like. and so
they have given the bird the name.

MAINTAIN Fertility OF SOIL
Judieious Rotation of Crops, Coupled
With Careful Saving of Ferti-
lizers Is Recommended.

IL you have money in the bank you
can check 1t 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 it will fail to thrive.
Each plant takes from the soil nee.
essary amounts of nitrogen, phosphor.
US, etc.. different plants taking differ.
ent amounts of these elements. It is
evident, then, that If 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. or
applying commercial fertilizers. saws

MULCH FOR THE STRAWBERRY
straw, Hefused Hay or Any Material
OF This Kind Will Be Found
Most Satisfactory.

1t is not always practicable to mulch
large areas of strawberries, though n
may be done on small areas very con.
veniently. The mulch keeps the Der.
ries on the ground and makes them
much less gritty and more desirable
for table use. If practicable, the mulch
should be put on before the young Der.
ries appear.
Pine straw. oat straw. refused hay
or almost any material of this kind
may be used. Do not depend upon a
fork. The mulch may be thrown be.
tween the rows with a fork. hut II

by hand. The mulch should be some
four or five inches thick so as to keen
