And the Rain Falls


Here it is almost the last day of
April and the tickle month has given
us the rains, wind and cold weather
Of November. Gardeners are look
ing sick over their small green lines,
and cotton planters are thinking
that the only difference in Jack
Frost and Bill Bollweevil is that
Bill keeps them working longer than
Jack does.
Last week 1 went where the land
is drier than in this community, and
saw cotton like lines of narrow
green ribbon adjoining clean fields.
1t was pretty cool then, but frost
has come since then, so I suspect
the feelings of the jubilant planter
are a different sort now. Corn is
up all around us. The farmer on
this place has some up, and much
planted. His cotton is in the ground,
but it beat the rain only about two
hours. There are all sorts of beans,
peas, sorghum and millet seed wait
ing a warmer season, for COWS,
horses, hogs and poultry are not
profitable if one must buy feed for
them. 1t takes green pastures and
legumes to keep down expense items.
1 wonder if I have told you how
we keep winter Irish potatoes? We
are still eating potatoes as fresh as
last October's were. The patch"
is planted in our big garden, and
there is never chance for hogs to
get them, nor do they keep a big
field shut up from the stock. We
dig them as they are needed; they
freeze in the ground, but thaw out
with the soil and never rot. Last
week they were all plowed up, and
seed potatoes put away, Lookout
Mountain is the variety, and 1 say
they have been raised in our garden
till they are Tennessee Valley.
Triumph or Cobbler is the sort we

NEW YORK, May 2.-Orders from

are increasing in both size and num-
Der, but in the manufacturing field
improvement, while apparent, is de,

doubt, however, as to the extent or
permanence of the improvement in
building construction. Building ma
terials are scarce and advancing in
price. Brick manufacturers in Con.
nectlcutt and up the Hudson are
about sold out for immediate deliv-
cry. and are preparing to increase
production beyond any point it has
reached for years. Long Island,
New Jersey and Connecticut shore
resorts are preparing for a big sum-
MGR season, and many men in the
building trades are commanding
bonuses.
Mapufacturers report an increased
demand for wooden goods and sat

Copyright, 1929
PITTSBURG, May 2.-The strike
of coal miners is retarding industrial
expansion in this district, but pro-
duction in steel and other lines is
being maintained. There has been
but slight change in the mine situa-
ton in the last few days. West Vir-
ginia is contributing sufficient fuel
TO offset losses in production in the
Fayette and other fields. Coal prices
gradually are seeking higher levels,
although there is no suggestion of
furry in the market and consumers
are receiving adequate supplies.
There is no unanimity of opinion as
to when the strike will terminate.
The feature of the steel market
has been the withdrawal Of some of
the larger interests as sellers of
blooms, billets and bars but this
does not seem to have embarrassed
consumers. The American Sheet and
Tin Plate company is practically out
of the market except for the sale of
heavy blue annealed sheets. This
company is booked for three months
ahead and others are in a similar
position.
Retail trade in spring goods is as.
Stunning large proportions. Any loss
ir volume of business suffered
through closing of the coal mines
has been more than offset by re-
sumptions in other industries. De-

IN growing cotton a great deal de-
Penos on the kind of seed you Sc
cure. There is r'ouch seed on the
market now of doubtful quality, and
! would purchase seed only on a
Mrltten guarantee from a reputable
urn. The North Carolina College
on Agriculture or Experiment Sta
llon should be able to advise you
promptly and definitely as to
whether the seed in question is of
iirst class quality. We have not
! recommended the King variety of
cotton for growth in Georgia for
many years. We do not consider
1t as satisfactory for use in this
4 state as other Varieties. I am
speaking now of meeting the condi-
LIONS pertaining under the boil Wee
VII lntestation. In your locality
would prefer to use either College
mo. or a high grade strain of
S-eveland Big Boil. I think these
varieties will prove to be practical
~ as early as the King and will out
yleio the latter, while producing a
very desirable staple from relatively
large bolls. These strains mature
Ute early and have been grown
successfully by many farmers in
areas Where boil weevil has done
great damage for several years past.

tonseed meal if you wish. The cost
of available nitrogen in cottonseed
meal is relatively higher than in nj
trate of soda and sulphate of am
monia, so we would be disposed to
combine those elements together as
carriers of nitrogen this year. You
might use one-half Of each. There
is an idea that nitrogen in nitrate
of soda will leach out the soil imme-
diately. This may be true on very
sandy lands, but it is not likely to
be the case on our heavy clay soils.
In fertilizing cotton under boil wee
vii conditions the idea is to put the
plant food Immediately under the
drill row either few days before
the seed is planted or at the time
the seed is put down. We prefer
to get the fertilizer in earlier when
ever this is practicable. We do not
believe that side applications are de-
sirable under boil Weevil conditions.
What we must strive to do now is
to grow and develop portion of the
bolls set on as quickly as possible.
We will seldom if ever get any top
crop under boil weevil conditions. To
put on side applications of fertilizer
means to prolong the season of
growth, which would be disadvan-
tage under boil weevil conditions.

Lespedeza would be only fairly
well adapted for use in your section
of north Georgia for the purpose you
have in mind. 1t is an excellent
plant for summer grazing, but is Of
no service at other seasons of the
year. It will thrive on the land you
describe and will hold it's own with
other grasses and clovers. It will
make a very good sod during the
summer season. 1t should be COM
bined with Bermuda grass or some
other dense sod-forming plant.
Next to Bermuda grass you would
probably find Red Top or Orchard
grass the most serviceable to use in
your section. White Glover will do
fairly well on all lands in north
Georgia, especially in those sections
where there is an abundant rainfall.
1t gives its best results, of course,
on rich, moist bottom lands. If you
have extensive areas of this char
acter you might also use some alsilIe
clover thereon. Lespedeza should be
sown later in tbs season when the
ground is warmed up, as it is sum-
mer growing plant. The other
grasses and clovers mentioned can
be sown in the spring. If this is
done the seeding should be under
taken Immediately. Our best re-
suits have come from seeding these
plants in the fall, however. It is
desirable to cover the seed into the
soil with a brush harrow or weed
err. 1t is better, of course, If the
land can be worked up to some ex-
tent SO as to provide reasonably
satisfactory seed bed. We have haG
fairly satisfactory results from u.s.
ing combinations of the character
mentioned in serni-shaded pastures
here on the college farm. The eli
mate conditions in the section where
you are located should cradle you
to produce much better pastures
from the seeding of the mixtures iii
dictated than we cAn hope to develop
at this point on account Of the in
tensity Of the summer sun.

Growing Cowpeas in an Orchard


Growing Cowpeas in an Orchard
J. T. W., Jonesboro, Ca,
writes: Is there any variety Of
field pea that will prove injurious
to young peach trees when soWn
broadcast in the orchard?
There is no kind of field pea with
which we are acquainted that is like
ly to prove injurious to young peach
trees when sown broadcast. Natu-
rally, where young peach trees have
been planted out, the danger of over
cropping the land should be avoided.
The young trees, as you doubtless
know, require an unusual amout of
nitrogen to insure their rapid growth
and development, and of course they
have to compete with any crop which
may be growing on the land for other
essential supplies Of food such as
phosphoric acid, potash and lime
Where young peach trees have
been planted on land that is
unusually fertile or which has been
built up to a high degree then it is
possible to grow some crop between
the rows without damage.
If situated like you are we would
prefer to sow the peas in drills, say
sixteen inches apart, and we would
not place any of the drills say within
three or four feet on either side Of
the young trees. 1t would not be
desirable for the peas to make such
a growth as to cause them to spread
out around the trees to any appre.
cable extent. A good variety to
plant, on account of it's tendency to
bunch up would be the Whippoor.

TROOPS CALLED OUT
AS NEGROES STRIKE
More Than Fifteen Hundred Quit
Work at New York Brick
Plants.

Haverstraw, N. Y, May ia
handful of state troopers from White
Plains tonight were patrolling the
streets of this Hudson river town,
ready to quell any disorder which
might result from a sudden strike of
1900 to 1900 negro workers who
have succeeded in shutting down 16
brick plants scattered along about
two miles of water front.
It was reported during the day that
more troops would be brought from
Albany and Troy but it was decided
that enough men now were on hand
unless any trouble occurs tomorrow
which ordinarily is pay day.
Most of the strikers arrived within
the last few weeks from the South.
Employers described them as "foat-
ing labor" explaining that they were
accustomed to hire extra hands in
spring and fall, as brick making was
a seasonal industry.
The only disturbance of the day
was a fight between trooper and a
negro, in which the latter had an
arm broken.

LOWNDESVILLE AND
LEVEL LAND INFESTED
WITH BAD MEN

Mrs. w. L. Bowman of Lowndes-
vile was an interested spectator and.
an unusually bright witness in the
case before Judge Gary Saturday in
volving the custody of an infant
child of that community. Mrs. Bow
man has been residing around Lown-
desville a good many years but has
not yet succeeded in reforming the
bad men in that section it would seem
from her testimony, because when
asked if she thought man who had
recently been convicted of manu-
featuring and selling liquors was a
proper custodian for girl child then
in the custody of another, she replied
that she did not think him any worse
than a good many other men whom
she knew who were running around
drinking liquor and gambling. That
is somewhat Of a strong indictment
of the men about Lowndesville.
Not stopping there she even ac-
cused some of them of going as far
over as Level Land to engage in IL
quor-drinking and card-playing. She
did not say so, but we judge she
would regret to hear her Cousin Da-
Wis and Uncle Jim had visited in the
vicinity of Level Land, and prehaps
enticed some Of their unsuspecting
friends into that alleged ill-behaved
liquor-drinking and card-playing
neighborhood.
Mayor Walter Wilson should clean
out the bad men in his town at once.
If he does not it may be. necessary
for the Press and Banner to run its
boll-weevil machine through the vii
lage and give it dusting. If we can
not clean up Level Land and Lown-
desville that way perhaps somebody
will nominate Mrs. Bowman for the
State Senate, where she could be of
great assistance in relieving the situ-
alton of which she complains, that is
if the present Senator cannot fix
things. AS matters now stand it
seems to US that Mrs. Bowman be-
lieves the men about Lowndesville
and Level Land about as bad as
a man who takes a bath in his night
clothes for no other reason than
because he has 'em on when he falls
in the bathtub.
Mrs. Bowman will be remembered
in Abbeville as one of the attractive !
daughters of DR.. D. S. Benson, who
resided on his plantation near Abbe- !,
Vile, the plantation being made up
of three tracts known as Zigzag,
Sheep-walk and Muttonham.
