THE FUTURE OF THE COTTON
FARMER

AS al inhabitants of the cotton
states understand, the cotton indus
try has been given q very black
eye," to use a sporting phrase, by
the boil weevil during the last few
years. This cotton pest seems to
make choice of soils and we find
in Cherokee, Ca, that the crop of
1921 has been sporadically treated
by this ravaging foe. even on ad-
joining farms.
Some farmes are making short
crops owing to a long-continued
drought, but averaging good
half crop, say six bales to the mule.
Perhaps another cotton farmer
will not average three bales to the
mule, and there are even greater
decreases than the last mentioned.
The weeVil generally attacks the
crop in August and September L
have an opinion on this matter that
may amount to little, but think
North Georgia would have avoided
this devastation If our energetic
farmers had not bouhgt seed from
localities where the weevil got in
it's heavy work.
Be that as it may, it should be
the care of southern planters to buy
planting seed where the Weevil
skipped over, so to speak, to plant
in 1922.
In reading the story of Moses,
the great Hebrew leader, we will
remember that he wrote it down in
plain letters and figures that all
cultivated soil should have a jubilee
year-once in seven years-the
-L,o liz nd hue co
cure a breathing spell, so to speak.
We southern cottontots have al
lowed no rest in continuous cotton
culture, and we have felt obliged
to buy acids and phosphates to make
profitable crop.
1--WE didn't uster' stimulate with
these things, for when L became a
citizen of this county (Bartow, then
Cass) sixty-eight years ago, the
cotton plants grew shoulder high on
well cultivated soil and gave a gen
erous return to the owner in many
bales of cotton.
We have doubtless exhausted the
physical (?) strength of these lands
and like a confirmed invalid, who
can't sleep and vomits plain food
until all the strength and vigor
have been sickened, then any little
ailment will carry off the invalid
to the cemetery.
Moses said the land must have
quiet rest-to recuperate with the
fundamentals-in the atmosphere,
overhead-and have restful, sleepy
time under a green sod. know
what my readers are going to say:
What about taxes in that rest
year,"
Exactly SO. Taxes ought to rest
when the soil takes a rest. Don't
you think so? We are taxed to keep
up a few millions of greedy office
holders who are like some of the
leaders-as soon as they occupy a
federal, state, county, or city office
begins to beat the tomtoms to
increase salaries.
This army of office holders in
railroad circles, are the best paid
wage-earners in the civilized world
right here in America and are never

satisfied unless the wage rate is on
the increase. Isn't that So?s
1 think it would be healthy for
the entire country to tell the office
holders: This is a rest year. once
in seVen," according to our Lord S
wise prophet, Moses.
The grasshoppers in 1898 nearly
ate up all crops in Kansas, and
Kansas concluded to balance &C.
counts with certain politicians who
had no mercy on the people who
thus failed to raise corn, wheat
and cattle, also voting big appro-
priations and huge salaries for office
holders. aKnsas went through wa
tiers deep, and Affections many, and
is now said to have wonderful sue
cess in getting rid of or rest from
the greedy ones of earlier years.
The cry is going over the land:
Decrease cotton acreage" If the
people who plow and hoe should de-
eide to decrease the number of
office holders and decrease their
salries, the cry would be worth
listening to.
There is greater need for cotton
abroad than ever known in the his
tory of the world and the folks who
speculate in cotton are making more
money by keeping the price down,
than ever before. But strange to
tell, there is no decrease of sal
aries, no decrease of taxes, and no
decrease in office holders.
The crisis will come one of these
days, and the burden bearers will
rise up to say: "You must decrease
all along the line"
The Prayer of Faith
The Christian religion rests upon
the prayer of faith. Believe, be-
ieve" and thou shalt be saved"
There is so much of unbelief that
influences the human mind, so much
questioning, so many things in the
Bible that are not explained, that
one is obliged to say, Lord, ] be-
lieve, help thou my unbelief." One
Of the most comforting poems have
ever known is thus expressed by it's
pious author:
Prayer is the souls sincere desire,
Uttered or unexpreSsed;
The emotion of a hidden fire
That trembles in the breast.
Prayer is the burden of sigh
The falling of tear
The upward glancing of the eye
When none but God is near.
Prayer. is the simplest form of
speech
That infant lips can try;
Prayer, the sumblinnest strains that
reach,
That Majesty on high.
prayer: is the contrite sinners
voice
Returning from his ways
While angels in their songs rejoice
And cry: Behold he prays.'
Prayer is the Christians vital
breath
The Christians native air:
His watchword at the gates of DEATH
He enters heaven. with a prayer.
ooh, thou by whom we come to God,
The Life, the Truth, the Way
The path Of prayer myself has trod
Lord teach us how to<pray.

Cultivating an Apple Orchard


An orchard should be cultivated
for the same reason that a field is
cultivated. Trees should not be
forced to waste their time contend
ing with weeds or undesirable
growths. The land should be so
handled as to stimulate the growth
and protectiveness of the trees. Ap-
+: pie trees require food axld plenty of
it. They are peculiar in that they
have a strong liking for certain
kinds of food. If these are abundant
:4y supplied the orchard produces
literally. If they are withheld pro-
.duction falls off. In some instances
it may drop down to nothing at
all. Therefore, the orchard must
be given the best of care and atten-
ton. 1t must be frequently cult
waited and in manner which will con-
serve moisture, insure an abundant
supply of available plant food, and
stimulate a desirable degree and
character of growth in the trees
themselves. To the uninitiated it
may not seem a matter of such I'M
portance, but the initiated know that
the tree is influenced by the manner
in which the land is handled and
fertilized. A summary of the find
ingS which it is suggested should be
followed out in reference to this mat
.ter, in so far as the cultivation OF
an orchard in north Georgia is con-
eerned, follows. 1t is based on the
investigation Of the horticultural
division of the Georgia State Col
lege of Agriculture.
=, How to cultivate the north Geor-
xrie iC Gfj1I a question
for considerable discussion Where
it is possible to do so. the orchard
should be plowed every spring with
a two-horse pillow. Where an old
orchard is to be brought under cul-
tivation, the first blowing should be
only to inches deep and should
thereafter increase in depth an inch
a year until the land is plowed from
to 8 inches. Young orchards should
be ploWed from 6 to s inches every
season. Flowing should be follow
ed by a double discing and there
after the land should be run over
frequently with a spiked tooth or
Acme harrow.
On some of the rough, rocky land
a spring.tooth harrow might be
found more serviceable than those
mentioned. The cultivation should
be sufficiently frequent and thor
ough to maintain about two inches
of loose soil on the surface of the
ground and to keep down all weeds
and grass.
- This loose soil will act as mulch
and will conserve much of the soil
moisture which is so much needed
10y the trees during the summer. In
order to conserve as much moisture
as possible cultivation should follow
each rain as soon as the soil is suf-
ficiently dry to be worked without
injury and every ten days or two
weeks during dry weather.
During late August or early Sep
TENDER, it is advised that a winter
cover should be sown in a bearing
orchard. This may consist of a
bushel of oats or rye mixed with 20
pounds of vetch sown either broad
cast or with a drill. In some Sec
