If this is the law why does onr ordinary and district ovprseers insist on minors paying rokd tax? 1 have always advocated jlhe al ternative road law and think the present system |of working the roads much better than the old, but I think it a barbarous custom to work sixteen-year-old children on the public roads or make them pay tax. Of course I am no lawyer, bat I think I have a fair understand ing of the English language, and I am aure the law says from “21 to 60 years.” This may not be the true interpretation, but one thing, it is “Simon” pare * 1 Eng lish. Again, the law plainly says that “each person shall be sub ject to road duty four days in each year.” And I heard a dis trict overseer say the other day that all who wished to work out their time might do so at 60 cents per day. Wonder where lie got his authority? Four days or $3 for those that are not exempt from road duty, and that between the ages of 21 and 60 and no more, saith the law. Radkr Colic. Helps to Corn and Cotton Planters [U. S. Dept, of Agriculture.] The past winter has been so wet that there has been less than usual opportunity to prepare the land for this year’s crop. The rains have continued so late tnat many fields are still very wet. These'conditions make it all the more neccessary that the soil be well prepared before planting. In the impatience to commence planting the temptation to plow before the land is dry enough is very great. Land plowed wet at this time is injured for the whole season. A thorough preparation ia more than half the cultivation. Do not plant either cotton or corn before the land is worked into a fine seed bed even if planting is a little late. To be good the seed must not only be from a good variety but must have been carefully select ed and so cared for that they have strong vitality. Prepare the land thoroughly and sufficient in advanoe of planting so that there is a firm seed bed. With well prepared land good cotton seed, will germinate even in a dry spring when covered to no greater depth than one-fourth inch.

The first good rain washes this dirt into the trench and buries the seed too deep. A light roller should follow the planting. There are more stands lost in planting cotton by using too much than too little seed. When a bushel of seed is nsed it is very often a detriment, because the seeds are so dose that when they germinate they lift the soil in the whole top of the, row. If dry or a little cool weather fol lows the soil immediately aronnd the young plant dries out or is chilled by cool nights, and the plants die. Perfect stands have been ob tained with four pounds of seed. Prepare the land thoroughly before planting. Use selected seed of known parentage and good quality. Plant shallow—not over j inch depth on a film bed. Follow planting with a roller and use care that the seed drill is not in a trench. Be sore the seed bed is well drained. On good uplands ordinarily pro ducing one-half to three-fourths af a bale of cotton per acre, plant iu rows four feet anart and give not less than sixteen inches space between plants in the row. On rich bottom lands where excessive stalks are produced, plant in rows not less than fivefeet apart and give two feet space be tween plants in the row. D. N.
