DRAIN YOUR LAND THIS FALL
An Absolute Essential If You Want
Bigger Crops Next Ycnr.

The ever increasing demand for
greater crop production, and the rap
idly increasing farm values, make It
imperative that every acre be culti-
waited, and that old, abandoned land
be reclaimed and the low places be
drained and made productive.
Before the war The farmer had diff
f1culty In selling what crops he did
produce OH even his best land, but
since then conditions have changed.
he now finds a ready market for all
| he can raise, and cannot begin to
supply the demand. Hence the neces-
sity OF putting the whole farm on a
| producing basis.
Good Drainage Increases Crop Yield
and Land Values.
| 1t Is only recently that the farm
ers are beginning to wake up to the
real advantages to be derived sroh
good drainage. Drainage increases
the temperature Of the soil, makes
1t warmer, drier and porous, thus
permitting the light and air to pen
citrate to plant roots. Seed will GER
inmate quicker, growth is more rap
ia, crops mature earlier, and the
yield is much heavier.
IN many sections Of the country
! land that was formerly producing
nothing more than bullfrops and
| lnarSh grass, since being drained Is
now growing full crops and has in.
creased IN value irom $50 10 $I25
| per acre.
The present high cost Of tiIing. the
scarcity and high price Of farm labor
prohibits many farmer from thing
his land. But with a modern farm
d1tcher hooked up to his tractor or
teams, ne can quickly cut open drains
to get rid Of the excess water.
The open ditch has the advantage
or quickly removing the surface wa
ter that often does so much damage
1t VIII remove by seepage the water
from the surface Of I'll land contin-
gent to the ditch. 1t acts as a re-
ceiving drain for the water which
percolates through the porous sub
stratum. thus aiding under drainage
as well as surface.
The fall Of the year Is the best
time to cut bitches. Land drained
then can be cultivated two to three
weeks earlier in the spring. Often
this spells the difference between
crop success and crop failure.
Get ready to ditch and drain your
land Just as soon as the present crop
IS harvested. Prepare now to get the
most out of your farm next year. Bet
ter take advantage OF your opportu-
nifty to make money while there Is a.
demand for farm products and while
the prices are up.

CoLORED COTTON A REALITY.
MIR. Brabham Has Produced -Four
Shades This Year.
After experimenting for several

After experimenting for several
years IN producing cottons Of color,
A. w. Brabham, of The Hermitage,
OAR, 5. c., believes that the end
sought-which is the production Of
black cotton--is in sight. The fol-
lowing account Of Mr.. Bra bham' s
work IS taken from the Savannah
Morning News:
Mr.. Brabham has sent the Morn
ing News four samples Of cottons Of
color, which sustain his claim thai
he mas successfully produced these
cottons of extremely fine fibre. The
four samples shade from light brown
to dark brown and from light green
to dark green. He says that there
has never been softer or finer fibre
than the dark brown sample, and
that cloth woven from such cotton
would make fabric that would sur
pass in softness any textile material
yet developed.
-Four years ago Mr.. Brabham sent
his hrst specimens of cottons in col
ors to the Morning News and to the
savannah cotton exchange. He says
now that he has never abandoned
the idea Of producing cottons Of thai
class, but for two years he made no
progress, the crop each year having
been destroyed before reaching ma
turity. This year great care has been
exercised in the few plants Of the
cotton he grew. When the plants
open up In full, Mr.. Brabham thinks
thu other colors besides the four he
has now may appear.
Luther Burbank wrote Mr.. Brab-
ham that he would undertake the Job
of producing black cotton for mil
lion dollars. Mr.. Brabham says that
a glance at one Of his samples will
show that he is in a fair way to pro-
duce 1T at a much lower cost than a
million. He says further that he Ia
sure ne would have produced black
cotton this year had not a package of
blue tinted or Tinted cotton imported
from India miscarried. Mr.. Brabham
has Hindu botanist of Delhi gath
ering specimens Of cotton Of color in
lnd1a, and this botanist has located
blue, gray and light pink. He hopes
TO nave another consignment OF seed
from India In the near future, and is
also hoping to get the colors grow
ing IN Peru. 1t is, however, heN says,
very difhcult to get foreign seed be-
cause SO many careless or dishonest
persons handle the packages in their
long journey.
Mr.. Brabham has also sent three
specimens OF corn in three colors, Il
glance at which, he says, should
prove that black corn will be his
next year. BY crossing, red and blue
corn VIII In two years, he claims,
develop black corn. This being true,
MIR. Brabham argues that by cross
Ing the blue Indian cotton with the
darker shades which he has devel-
oped from white cotton, he is bound
to obtain the long sought black cot
ton. $Si
NotSonly cotton and corn, but al
most any other crop, Mr.. Brabham
feels coh'rinred, can be produced in
colors.E y, though he does not expect
.hinse9fFtp reap the commercial pro-
hts Of hisRdiscovory, he is content in
the satisfaction OF believing that he
