PREPARATION FOR COTTON
Plowing and Fertilization Will Be
Found Advantageous Just Now.
The average cotton planter has but
5itUe conception of the necessity of
thoroughly preparing cotton land.
Most of them regard plowing as sim
ply a necessity only when the land
is overrun with grass or weeds. How
ever, many are getting out of the idea,
and realize that, plowing at other,
times is a prime object in securing
good crops, and in this connection
they are particularly realizing that
fertilization or feeding to the plant
certain plant food at the time of plow
ing, is also a very important item nec
essary to the successful out-turn of
a crop: especially at this season of
the year, when there is little else to
do, plowing can oe carried on to great
advantage, and it will lessen the
amount of work necessary later in
the season, when there is a rush on
the farm.
There are certain rules which must
be observed on the farm in plowing
at this season. There is a possibility
that the new soil will be too wet and
should not. he turned up and allowed
to sun-dry. This permits the plant
food to escape, and more than this,
it practically deadens the soil so ex
posed in its wet staff*
Harrowing the soil is practically un
heard of in cotton farming, and yet
there are tens of thousands of acres
of corn and other grain land in the
great grain belt that is always thor
oughly harrowed before the crop is
planted. Farmers who will harrow
a small piece of cotton land will find
the experiment very profitable. The
idea to be carried out under the pres
ent conditions is to accomplish as
much as possible with the least ex
penditure of labor. To do this it is
necessary to have a half dozen things,
but early plowing is one of the most
essential—thorough cultivation, a good
season, and above all, high fertiliza
tion and proper handling of the crop
will work wonders. Try the plan of
special preparation on a few acres.
Look out for the difference in prof
its and see if it will not justify fewer
acres.—J. C. McAuliffe, in "Farm and
Home.”
BETTER HASTEN SLOWLY.
N'nw is the time to think about the
price of cotton next fall. Ry diversi
fying and properly restricting cotton
acreage, the total yield can be kept
within limits where the price will be
i satisfactory. That is really the only
sure way of playing the game. The
speculators have all along tried to
frighten the fanners with two bug
bears: first, that the mills had sup
plies to last for two years; second, the
mills would close down. Well, an
idle mill is a dead loss to the owner,
it can not be turned to anything else;
whereas the farmer can change his
cotton factory to a corn, oats, wheat,
cabbage and potato factory, and still
manage to get returns for his invest
ment and and his labor. Hence, if the
farmer will but intelligently regulate
his prices by the law of supply and
demand, there can be no reason, out
side of his own lack of cohesiveness,
why he should not win the day. Nat
urally, the spinners try to get cotton
as cheap as possible and no one
blames them for that. Why then cen
sure the farmers when they try to
get the best price for their products?
—Belton (Tex ) Journal Reporter.
The happiest people on ear'h, the
most contented and prosperous, are
those who own their homes, who have
a place to live in when the winds of
adversity blow.
Every warehouse bntlt Is another

away from industrial slavery.
When a dozen farmers get their
heads together half a dozen politicians

rangement.
OPPORTUNITIES IN ONIONS.
5reat Profits Are Possible to Careful,
Intelligent Planters.
Probably no vegetable shows a
greater increase In consumption than
i.e onion. Not only is domestic stock
argely increased, but the importation
Jf Spanish and Bermuda onion is of
;reat volume annually.
I he onion is not only nutritions,
but possesses great medicinal proper
ies for clearing the complexion and
•enovating the system.
Market gardeners are now giving
is much attention to cultivating on*
ons as in raising cabbage, and al
though the volume of production
shows reasonable growth, the market
las not been glutted with the stock.
Tlie onion is a voracious feeder,
I ind thrives best on rich soil; much
lands composed largely of humus are
Admirably adapted to the crop. The
and needs to be well underdrained
And protected from overflow, as w;a
.er standing on the crop for any length
Df time will destroy the bulbs.
Commercial fertilizers are used, and
these fertilizers should be rich in pot
ash to insure a good bottoming of the
?rop. Not all muck lands are natural
ly adapted to onion culture, but can
easily be made adaptable to the crop.
Success in onion culture demands
Industry and viedlanr',.
The white and yellow onion require
five pounds of seed sown to the acre.
In rows fourteen inches apart, to in
sure a good stand.
The large white globe variety re
quire six pounds of seed per acre.
The weeds must be kept down be
tween the rows with a hand cultiva
tor and out of the rows by hand weed
ing. Onion raising is an industry ad
; rnirably adapted to the farmer on a
urge scale, or to truck gardeners who
sell their truck around cities. It is
.an easy cultivated crop. Like picking
berries, children .ten or twelve years
I of age can do much of the weeding.
In raising onions the fashion of the
market should be considered. In the
j East the small white and yellow on
! if>ns are the most popular. In the
j West the large white, end in the
i South, the red onion. The fiat bulbs
| are the most popular, and the color
] can be improved by the proper meth
| od of harvesting the crop, which
| should be stored in a dry shed after
having been cured two to four days
i in the sun. The crop, like the apple,
jeon be made most attractive by prop
er grading and marketing in crates.
Save all the Manure Possible.
I
Keep the stable lot well littered
with leaves and straw for the stock's
sake and for the land's sake, is the
advice given by the Southern Farm
Gazette. A load of manure in the sta
ble is worth more to the farmer than
a sack of fertilizer at the factory.
There is a great deal more in stable
manure than mere plant food. It con
tains myriads of bacteria that in some
way unknown to the average farmer
break down and liberate plant food in
the soil, which make it of far more
value than commercial fertilizer con
taining an equal amount of plant food.
Save all the manure possible. If it
does not lessen the fertilizer hill it
will increase the crop production.
On days when neither plowing no>*
other work can be done, if thev are
convenient to the field, it will pay to
haul rotted leaves and throw directly
on the land. The fertilizing value will
Justify the hauling, and the organic
matter added to the soil will also be
helpful.
Don’t pay any attention to the man
who is offering a panacea for all that
troubles that annoy you along the
pathway of life. We are not going to
have any heaven here. This is a place
to "work out your own salvation with
| fear and trembling,” but it is easy to
I do this if you confine your own ef
! forts to your own welfare and to
! those in your own class. Let farmers
i interest themselves in farms; the oth
I er fellows are already organized—
i against us, too.

Poison

Everybody knows that malaria, chills and fever, ague and such disorders, are caused by poison.
Do you know how to prevent the poison from getting into your blood; how to drive it away, when there ?
Take Thedford’s Black-Draught, the great vegetable liver regulator, so successful for over 70 years, through
out the Southern States.
No other like it, except its imitations, and those only in outward appearance.
Appearances, and imitations, are deceitful.
So be sure you insist on the genuine—
Thedlord’s
BLACK-DRAUGHT
Edna Rutherford, of Atlanta, Tex., writes: “Thedford’s Black-Draught has done me so much good that I
wish to publicly acknowledge it. I suffered for five years with dumb chills and fever, more than I can tell. I tried
all the medicines I could think of, but they did me no good. At last I took Thedford’s Black-Draught and am won
derfully improved. I am better now than I have been for many months, thanks to your wonderful medicine.”
