According TO our experience and
4 observation, the most satisfactory
tong staple upland type of cotton
| which we have tested up to the pres
| ent time is that known as Meade. Ii
has proven to be superior according
to our experience, to the other strains
| mentioned in your letter. Under
Weeyil conditions, it has matureI
earlier than other Varieties and there
fore is better adapted for growth
in the Sea Island section than the
types formerly used.
No doubt there will be consider
able effort to cultivate Meade cot
ton in many parts of the state next
yea. It has not occurred to US.
llo viewer. that the growth of this
variety is likely to be oyerdone for
while at least. because the weeyil
will tend to keep the yield down
and. of couree. the Sea Island belt
'{2s suffered very severity this year
fra'n it's depredations.
You cannot secure satisfactory
rfiee for Meade cotton unless it is
sinned on a roller gin The plan Of
handling this cotton which you have
suggested would not prove satisfac-
terry and we would strongly advise
against your undertaking the growth
Of this cotton unless you are in
position to have it ginned on a roller
gin.
You should have no difficulty in
securing good pure seed of this
particular variety. as it has been
nultivated under our observations on
various farms in Georgia this year
with considerable success.

Better Ways of

In tlC farm canning Of /. uitS and
vegetables for the purpose of con-
serving surplus crops or those which
cannot be economically marketed be-
cause of distance from market or Of
untoward weather conditions, the
bureau of plant industry, United
States department uf agriculture, has
in its experiments worked out salts
factory methods of canning sweet po-
tatoes. Those now commonly used
both OH the farm and by commercial
Gamers result in a product which
has more or less burnt and other
wise unpleasant flavor. These in
vestigations have revealed the cause,
and the new method results in a
product essentially like fresh sweet
potatoes. Canning tests have been
made of twentyfour varieties, show
ing a wide variation in the value
OF different varieties for canning pur-
poses.

The best soils for pecan cultiva-
lion are those which show a relatives
" high per cent of fertility. The
land should also be well drained
and retentiye of moisture Pecans
have been planted on all sorts of
soil types in the past. Many Of
them have done we'll where they
have received proper attention ana
fertilization. 1t would be a mistake
Eoweyer, to plant this type of trees
on poorly drained land or on land
which is undertake by hardpan
Avoid deep sandy soils because they
will not hold fertility even when sup
Piled with stable manure, legumin
pus crops and commercial fertilizers.
Sandy soils also become very hot
daring the summer months and this
may weaken the trees and make
them more susceptible to disease and
insect attacks.
If soils are naturally very thin or
have been reduced to an infertile
condition by severe cropping they
should have the top soil DR. opened
before being planted to pecans. This
may be accomplished by a rotation
nate. Old soils will be found more
satisfactory for pecans as com,
pared with new soils which have
just been reclaimed from the woods
In planting peeans on any type of
soil it is important to remember thai
the orchard should be carefulli
looked after and literally fortified
if it is to prove highly productive
Considerable nitrogen should be used
in the orchard when the q: aes are
young; not SO much when they are
cider. Fairly liberal applications of
phosphoric acid and potash seem all
sc advisable. From to 20 pounds
Of a mixture containing 1900
pounds of 16 per cent acid phos.
1hate, 400 pounds of cottonseed mea,
100 pounds of nitrate of. soda. and
800 pounds of muriate of potash
will be found satisfactory. This, OF
course, applies to trees which are
in bearing. For young trees one to
tive pounds of the above mixtur
should be used.
AS to the varieties adapted t.
south Georgia, among the best are
Stuart, Curtis, Bradley. President,
rabSt, Alley. Success and Teche.
Of course, there are many other
varieties. but these seem to BIZ
among the best. although the Frot.
scher is highly favored in southwest
Georgia. The Moore. owing TO itj
ppoductiveness. is also competitcT
for chief place.

LABOR AND THE COURTS
AGAIN

Organized labor is justly apprehen-
sive of the courts and of every piece
of legislation that remotely concerns
labor. The mine workers experience
with the Lever act shows how legisla-
tion can be distorted by the courts
into an agency of oppression. Strike
agreements are converted into con
spiracies; movements for protection
are made to take on the color of Sc
dition; the writ of injunction which la
Dor assumed had been laid away by
the Clayton act has come back to life,
under the rulings of Judge Anderson,
Of indianapolis.
1t remained for a Judge of the su-
perior court of Spokane county, Wash
ington, to discover a new means of
Furnishing labor He declared that la
Dor in its activities might become a
general public nuisance; that it
might threaten the happiness of the
community, and destroy the hope of
the country This is judge-made law
with a vengeance. For the court is
sued an order against members of
labor organizations, making the pos
session of card of membership an
evidence of contempt of court, for
which man might be thrown into
jail at the will of the presiding Judge.
If this decision is upheld, it is not
necessary for congress or the legisla-
lures to pass any anti-strike legisla-
tion or to extend any new authority
to the judiciary All that is neces-
sary is for the prosecuting attorney
to come into court and show that or
ganized labor is annoying and disturb
ing the repose of the employers; that
the demand for increased wages and
shorter hours is an inconvenience to
capitalists, and the court may issue its
mandate against the uion or member
ship in it, and then execute his man
date by throwing any violator into
jail for an indeterminate term.

HIGH COST OF LABOR ALWAYS
TO BLAME

During the past few weeks we read
where the Amoskeag Manufacturing
Co, of Manchester, New Hampshire,
had declared a stock dividend of one
hundred per cent This is mighty
good news to the workingmen. About
ninety per cent of the blue working
shirts worn by the toilers today bear
the label of the Amoskeag Manufaet-
uring Company. Five years ago these
shirts sold at the regular price of so
cents each, and many times during
special sales in our big stores could be
bought for 80 cents and as low as 83
cents, Today these same shirts are
selling at $1.25 and $1.5O apiece.
When asked the reason for the high
price one is often told that it is due
to the high cost of labor Think of
it, here is a commodity that has in
creased one hundred and fifty per
cent in price and the manufacturer
declares a hundred per cent dividend,
and not only that, but the report
shows that in addition to the dividend
declared, there remains $4,0l5,8ol of
undivided profits OF course these
huge profits are all caused by the in
sistence of labor for higher wages
The workingman will also be interest
ed to know that the Amoskeag com
pany makes most of the ginghams
worn by the housewife and the price
of which she is afraid 70 ask.

CHARLES DUTCH"
HERMANN FOR
SHERIFF

W.T. the advent of spring usually
comes the announcements of candi-
dates for the different city and county
offices. One of the recent announce
ments is Charles Dutch Hermann as
a candidate for the exalted position of
sheriff of Butler county. Dutch Her
mann, who is familiarly known by
that name, has been a citizen of Ham
ilton and Butler county all his life,
and no one can say that he has not
made a good citizen. In his position
as detective on the Hamilton police
force he has made an excellent of
icer, and has always been on the job
when something particular in his po-
sition had to be done If nominated
and elected Charles Hermann will
make a good sheriff for Butler county.

Detroit on last Tuesday voter
$15,000000 in bonds for the con-
struction and acquisition of street car
lines to compose the Detroit municipal
street railway-a complete system to
be owned and operated by Detroit as
competitor of the Detroit United
Railway Detroit will start immed-
lately the construction of 101 miles of
new trackage and will exercise its
right Of custer of the railway COM
pany on streets where its franchise
has expired-which is on most all
streets-and before that the street car
company will come along with prop
osition which means that the city of
Detroit will own her own street rail
way within a very short time. All
this is the elimination of twenty-five
year battle for better street car SER
vice
And that is the only way that
Hamilton is going to get better car
service-by owning its own railway
system. We have proven by conduct
ing our own electric, gas and water
plants that municipal ownership is a
mighty good thing for the people and
taxpayers. And the same could be
done if we owned our street railway.
It oughtn't cost so much to take over
the local system 1t isn't worth a
dime outside what it would bring for
junk. Perhaps the officials might
want to go into the real estate bust
ness. If so, we might make a trade.
That is, give them our city building
for their street car system. Of course
they wouldn't expect US to trade on an
even basis; we would expect the com
pany to chip in at least three more
old Cincinnati cast-otf cars and the
desk in the local office on the side

The speaker would list unemploy-

HOUSING PROBLEM SERIOUS
ONE

The housing problem is becoming
more and more serious. The tendency
to steady advancements of rents is
maintained by the scarcity of houses
and the indisposition to build. Sooner
or later this problem must become
national one. It is as serious to en-
ployers as to the men who are en-
ployed
Not only the United States is con-
cerned with the scarcity of houses.
Great Britain is having so much trou-
bic with the problem, without having
done anything to remedy conditions,
that the workers have been foremost
in advancing the solution.
Private builders will not put their
money into houses, preferring to wait
until materials and labor become
cheaper Now the building guild com
mittee Of London has offered to erect
two thousand houses as a beginning
to demonstrate their ability to handle
the industry All they ask of the gov
ernment is to see that they are sup
piled with materials at cost, and they
promise to deliver the completed
houses at a reasonable figure, after
having paid the men who build them
good wage
