Rapid Rotations—How to Make One
tore Stand in Place of Two.
Convenient to an eager market as manv
gardeners are near our large towns or
jUic.s the aggregate product from one acre
n [ho course of twelve or fifteen months
lf something to amaze the farmer way
off in the interior, who relies upon such
products as wheat or corn or cotton or
grain.
Henderson mentions a lettuce grower
n ar New York city who cleared annual
> $2,150 from two acres of land in grow
ing that one vegetable. Similar protits
aave been made by celery, asparagus, caul
iilower strawberry and other fruit grow
ers.
The southern market gardener has no
market comparatively. Some of our
truckers occasionelly "strike it rich,” but
he rarely realizes more than $390 per
I acre.
Here, in Middle Georgia, the gardening
y, ,r begins in the fall —Oct. 1, say. Dur
ing this month and November onion sets
are put out. These sets are put in rows
two or two and one-half feet apart. If
the onion sets are assorted and the larg
e.-.t set in every other row these may be
taken out in February and bunched and
sold in the green state. By Feb. 1, es
pecially if the winter is mild, as several
n' em winters have been, these large
jts produce considerable growth, and so
i iger are people for something green at
that season a bunch of a dozen of these
pin-fourth grown onions command t.s
pood a price as they will when nearly
matured later on in May.
Growing plants of some early variety
! of cabbage in frames in January are hav
ing good strong plants in readiness in
February set them out In rows vacated
by the onions, leaving the alternate rows
of onions to grow on until April a little
later, if preferred. Then from February
to April or May it will be cabbage and
onions ate taken out, set tomato plants in
their place. Then it will be cabbage and
i tomato for awhile. After the latter are
cut out in May or June the land will
he given up entirely to the tomatoes un
til October. Three fall crops is thus tak
en in the course of twelve months.
Another rotation begins as atjove with
onions and Irish potatoes. Some early
variety like the Ohio or Rose takes the
place of the onions taken out about Feb.
15. These potatoes mature in May. When
the last row of onions is taken out in
April or early May corn for rousting ears
is planted in their place, and in May or
early June when the potatoes are all out
of the way Held peas are drilled in the
daio rows. The vines of this pea crop
will be given to the land in the fall. Here
is four crops .in the course of thirteen
months say, and they will Justly be regard
ed as three full crops, three and one-half,
in fact.
In that section of the south below the
2,11 degree of latitude, when cabbage are
usually a success when planted out in
November, if two varieties of cabbage
are used a very early sort and a late or
medium sort and every alternate row is
set with plants of the early sort, these
will mature 4 to 8 weeks before the later
forts in the other rows. These can lie
cut out and tomatoes started in their
place in April and later on when the late
cabbage are matured and disposed of
speckled peas or bunch beans can take
their place. These will occupy the land
with the tomatoes, until fall. The peas
or beans can be picked and the vines
given to the soil to furnish humus. This
gives three full crops In twelve months.
* • *
llus mixing and "lapping" of crops
provides Ihe very best plan for utilizing
a piece of land to the fullest extent. Over
the larger portion of the south some crops
can occupy the land every month in the
fear. Some winters the January freezes
are severe enough to destroy those hardy
ercp s (h a t are usually planted in the fall,
but the farmer or gardener accepts the
chances and takes the risk.
ihi rich soil rows can be laid off at a
distance of two feet and in November
o'ery alternate row can be planted with
cabbage and the others with dwarf Eng
h~h peas. The latter should be sown thick
ly in the drills. Usually the peas will ma
ture and be out of the way two months
1 1 fore the cabbages mature and toma
toes can be started in their place in April.
It depends upon the variety of cabbage
"lat the difference will be between the
maturity of the peas and cabbage.
I>mible cropping with Irish and sweet
potatoes can be done to advantage. Using
an early and a late variety of the first
Plant there in alternate rows, the early
land, say Ohio or Kose can be taken out
tn May, then two furrows can l>e thrown
together and the sweet potato plants set
out the late potatoes will or may be al
-1 '"'ed to continue their growth a month
or six weeks longer, and taken out about
the time the sweet begins to run. Ak

stated above Irish potatoes, corn and
Held peas are very appropriately mixed
or "lapped.” By "lapping” is meant start
ing one crop while another is occupying
the soil.
Tills constant occupation of the soil with
some crop or other implies heavy manur
ing at intervals. One humus crop should
be provided every twelve or fifteen months
and then with a Judicious application of
mineral manure, the land can be kept
equal to the demands made upon it. As
far as possible summer growing crops
should feed upon the residue left from the
manures applied to the winter growing
ones. This will obviate the danger of
"firing" that they would be subject to in
dry spells, July to September.
llrief Matters of Interest.
The three states that lead all the rest
in the estimated value of their farm pro
ducts are Illinois, New York and lowa.
The value of the productions of the first
mentioned, in even numbers, is $185,000,000,
of the second, $162,000,000 and of the last
$162,000,000.
The United States exported wheat to
the amount of 141,000,000 of bushels for the
year ending June 30, 1895.. The year pre
vious the amount was 191,000,000.
It Is estimated that with the surplus
from the last crop the United States will
have abot 450,000,000 bushels of wheat at
the close of the present harvest. Taking
out the 375,000,000 bushels needed for home
consumption and seed, there will be 75,-
000,000 bushels for export.
The state of Idaho pays a bounty of 3
cents a head for every rabbit killed in that
state. In one of her counties, Ada, during
the last three months something over
$2,500 was paid out on this account, the
total number of rabbits killed being nearly
85,000. Some sections have to contend with
one thing, and some another.
The apple crop in Indiana is said to be
the most promising of any year in the
past fifteen years. 1895 will pass into
history as a great fruit year.
The year 1895 stands preeminent as the
great corn year. The 82,000,000 of acres
planted to this cereal It is estimated will
produce 2,500,000,000 bushels. This gives
nearly forty bushels to every man wo
man and child in the country. Certainly
there ought to be no starving this year or
next.
I.e Conte Pears Not Hearing.
Editor of the Morning News: What can
I do to make my pear trees bear? They
are the large sand variety. They are six
years old, and have never borne any, while
neighboring orchards of the same variety
and age have been bearing for two years.
They grow in light sandy soil, and have
never been fertilized, with any thing ex
cept rutting weeds. K. C. Middleton.
Hortense, Ga.
Our correspondent does not say whether
or not his pear trees have made a normal
growth of wood. If they have attained as
targe a growth as others that are bearing
and have the appearance of being in good
health we fear the trouble is owing to some
mistake of the nurseryman. It may be
that it is some other variety that has been
grafted or budded. If this is not so it may
be that the soil is nearly, if not abso
lutely, destitute of the essential mineral
elements. The decaying weeds should,
and doubtless have supplied the necessary
humus and nitrogen.
You say nothing as to the condition of
the foliage. Is it apparently healthy
and unaffected by blight of any kind? If
there has been any trouble of this kind
it will be necessary to resort to spraying
in the early spring. K. C. M. must be
more explicit.
If a lack of mineral matter Is the trou
ble an application of boned ust and ashes
should be made. Cotton seed hull ashes,
if procurable; otherwise ashes of hard
wood oak or hickory. If the weeds have
supplied humus and nitrogen sufficiently
then use acid phosphate instead of the
bone, six or eight pounds of acid phos
phate and the like quantity of hull ashes
(or twelve or fifteen pounds of wood
ashes). Broadcast this about the trees,
and as far out as twelve or fifteen feet
from the trees. Hake or harrow In the
fertilizer thoroughly. Your soil doubtless
is very poor and needs to be improved,
but without fuller description we cannot
advise you satisfactorily.
Crops In Mississippi.
Editor of the Morning News: We have
had one of the most dismal spells of
weather I ever saw. For some two weeks
past showers have occurred almost daily,
rendering fodder-pulling almost impos
sible. Some few farmers have been for
tunate to get their fodder saved, while
the great majority have suffered heavy
losses. If was hoped, however, that the
showery days would pass away, but on
Friday, the lGth instant, the downpour
of rain came in great torrents. This was
followed by a still heavier rain on Sun
day morning, washing away fences and
damaging crops in general. At present
indications we. are likely to have a few
days of pleasant weather.
Watermelons are about gone now. There
were not as many made as are commonly
grown in this county, yet there have t>een
a very good supply on hand for some
months, while a great many have been
carried to markets. Tile corn crop is
not so very good in this and adjoining
counties—large stalks and little ears. Cot
ton has suffered greatly from the con
tinued rainfalls. It is beginning to open
to some extent. As yet none has been
sold, and little has been gathered. While
the crop outlook is not as good as It might
be, yet if no other calamity befalls us
crops as a whole will be a very good aver
age. Cicero Floyd Watts.

THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY. SEPTEMBER 2,1895,
Guinea Fowl*.
Will you please inform a subscriber if
there is any profit in raising guinea
fowls, either for meat or eggs? Is there
a good market anywhere for the fowls.
If so, where Is it? 1 have heard that
their eggs keep longer In warm weather
than any other kind. J. G. W.
Beaufort, S. C.
Guinea fowls are not valued for their
meat anything like they should be. Their
eggs, though small, are considered to be
much richer than hen eggs. Under fav
orable circumstances their produot of
eggs is much greater, usually, than oth
er fowls, but owing to their peculiar hab
its, many eggs are liable to be lost from
one cause or another.
A Nexv Departure Seeded.
The onward march of weeds is frightful,
says the American Agriculturist. A series
of maps illustrating how the principal
weeds have spread from year to
year would be an eye-opener. It would
doubtless show that the ox-eye daisy,
starting in a small way, had spread each
year over great tracts of land hitherto
uninfested with it, until its complete erad
ication was well nigh impossible. So
of the Canada thistle and its cousin, the
Russian thistle, wild mustard and wild
carrot, the various burr and dock weeds,
and a host of others.
The same is true of the spread of black
knot, peach yellows, fungus pests, blights,
etc. It is true, however, that certain fungi
are of such a nature that under peculiarly
favorable climatic conditions they may
sweep in waves across vast areas, as is
the case with black rot of the grape, potato
blight, etc.; yet even in such cases, science
has provided methods of insurance by
spraying in advance with appropriate
mixtures. Insect pests also spread, like
weeds and fungi beause the few who com
bat their ravages are as naught to those
who let them ply their work and mul
tiply their species. The San Jose scale is
one of the latest instances in point, for
the indications now are that this most
serious pest lias obtained a foothold in
spots over large atstis.
The trouble is that no concerted action
is made to stamp out these pests when
they first appear. Individuals spend in
the aggregate millions of dollars yearly
trying to hold in suhjectloh weeds, insects
and fungi, yet their efforts are of com
paratively little avail because others in
both town and country permit the pests
to mature and spread their seeds and
eggs or spores, which are also distributed
in nursery stock, seeds, etc., until there
seems to be a natural conspiracy to ex
tend the pest.
Is this to last forever? Is this terrible
waste and loss to continue year after year
simply because the American idea of per
sonal independence stands In the way of
enforcing the duties of the individuals to
the community? There is certainly a big
chance here for co-operative effort—both
private and under the administration of
township, county or state. California hor
ticulture would have been ruined but
for her laws for the Inspection of vine
yards and orchards and the destruction of
all pests, in the rigorous enforcement of
which the olllclals have had the earnest
co-operation of individuals. But for
Massachusetts’ plucky efforts to keep the
gypsy moth within bounds, that most se
rious of all insect pests might to-day be
denuding the entire foliage in whole
states. Other states have made more or
less spasmodic efforts to control these
pests. New York's black knot law has
Just been made more stringent. Michi
gan’s new law for compulsory spruying we
have recently referred to. Several states
have peach yellows laws that have done
good.
What is needed is a grafcid crusade all
along the line—a concerted movement on
the part of the Individual, school district,
township, borough, city, county and na
tion against weeds, insects and fungi. How
to combat these plagues is now quite well
understood, Jhanks to the efforts of our
scientists, experiment stations and the de
partment of agriculture. All indications
point to further progress and simpler and
still more effective methods of dealing
with these nuisances. What is needed is
to impart this information to the people,
and meatis of enforcing the widespread
application of tried remedies and safe
guards, not excepting the protection of
birds and other animals so useful in de
stroying insects.
A system must be devised that, while
offering every inducement to the individ
ual to keep his premises clear of these
pests, shall provide for Its being done if
he fails to attend to it, the cost to be
added to the taxes on such premises and
collected In like manner. The Ingenuity
of the American people and their capaci
ty for self-government ought to enable
them to perfect such a system without In
fringing unnecessarily on individual rights
and without erecting a cumbrous official
ism that would be more bother than it is
worth. A practicable scheme for a concen
trated crusade against these pests, with
the farmers’ co-operation, would be worth
far more to them than nine-tenths of the
much-agitated political "reforms.” And
such a scheme can be worked out without
interfering with these other reforms. With
the proper plan we venture to declare that
the millions of dollars and untold work
and energy now spent yearly In trying to
hold in subjection the pests named, would
accomplish the job. Certainly the in
creased expense would be slight.
OCALA’S ENTERPRISE.
Efforts living Made to Get Capital for
u Fertilizer Factory.
Ocala, Fla., Sept. I.—Another well at
tended meeting was held Friday night
in the Ocala house to promote the subscrip
tions to the stock of a fertilizer factory.
Mayor Reardon presided. Capt. Wells said
the cash value of subscriptions footed up
150,000, $20,000 of which was in phosphate
rock, $15,000 in money, and the remainder
in merchandise and realty. The meeting
was full of enthusiasm, and the good
work is bound to go on under Capt. Wells'
magnetic influence.
Mr. M. Clements, who Is mining phos
phate on Dr. Weston’s place. Blue Spring
run, was In town yesterday, and in the
evening received a dispatch, saying a
falling tree at the mine had seriously
injured his brother.
The injured man had no bones broken,
but sustained painful internal bruises.

George Y. Adams Dili Try to Lower
R. V. Connerat’s Record for the
One Mile Southern Record at the
Same Time.
Jacksonville, Fla., Is still in the throes
of the bicycle fever. The last meet was
so successful that the people there feci
like having another very soon.
A special match race of one mile, nn
paced, between F. B. Maxwell of Colum
bia, S. C„ and W. I. Huffstetler, of Orlan
do, Fla., has been arranged to come off
Monday week. Sept. 9. At the same time
George N. Adams will endeavor to beat
the mile record of R. V. Conncrat of this
city, made at the last meet there,of 2:10 3-5.
At that time Adams gained the 5-mile
southern record, 12:51 2-5. At this meet
next week. It is stated that several other
match races may be arranged, as two or
three of the Jacksonville sidprs are In
good trim, and they feel like making a
little speeding among themselves.
Messrs. Gross and Williams, Savannah's
fast tandem team, has been invited to go
down and aid in the pacing.
The "Diamond Tournament," at Char
lotte, N. C., will be the next place of at
traction for the Savannah racing men.
There will be six events, but tha'most im
portant ones for the outside riders are
the one-mile open, the half-mile handicap,
and the one-mile handicap. In each of
these races the first prize is a ssu diamond,
and tlie next a sls one. J. E. Carson Is
the secretary of the club. Entries close
Sept. 16. If Savannah could get up a meet
soon after this one and before the next
meet of the Jacksonville club, the south
ern circuit would be well started. There
is enough sporting spirit here if the boys
will only take hold of the matter rightly,
say those who are posted. With the ma
terial for racing men here, there should
be no trouble in getting up a good meet.
The Jacksonville track idea is progress
ing finely. The committee will dispose
of $20,000 in bonds and make the improve
ments contemplated. They have secured
135 acres of ground on the St. Johns, tn a
beautiful location. Boating, fishing, bowl
ing, a road house, a cycle track, one-third
mile in extent, and other features, are
comprised in the general plan. B. F. Dil
lon, Esq., formerly of this city, is at the
head of the move, and it is due to his in
defatigable work In the matter that the
scheme went through. A grand gala week
of military sports and bicycle events Is
now being talked of for this fall, possibly
some time in December.
Washington, D. C., will shortly mount
its roundsmen and special emergency
men on bicycles. In his annual report
Major Moore, the chief of the district
police, has warmly endorsed the wheel
as an aid to that branch of the service.
It is now almost certain that Clarence
Saunders and Lawrence Menager will
again enter the bicycle raring ranks.
With the return of these two men to the
path Jacksonville will then have three
of the fastest bicyclists in the south.—

At tho Tri-State fair, Toledo, Aug. 27,
Tyler defeated Johnson tn a mile race,
and Sanger rode a paced half-mile In 58V/
seconds.
Tyler and Sanger will compete In a
three-cornered race with Johnny Johnson
on Labor day at the Driving park, Buf
falo, for a SI,OOO purse.
At the Halifax, N. 8.. meet, Aug. 26,
Nat Butler, who Is a nativp of the place,
and Harley Davidson, rode a special mile
race, the latter winning In 2:27. The men
were treated to a perfect storm of hisses.
To clear the atmosphere, Butler then
rode an exhibition mile In 2:OSV&-
John S. Johnson’s enforced rest has evi
dently done him no harm. He reappeared
at the Rochester, N. Y.. trotting meeting
on Thursday and rode a tandem-paced
half in 52Vi seconds, within one second of
his record made at Chilltcothe behind a
quad. The feat Is the more remarkable
because Johnson had but four day’s
training.
Johnson will endeavor to break his
track record of 1:48 2-5 at Lynn, Mass.,
Sept. 7. Ho will also ride from scratch in
the mile handicap.
Johnson, paced by O’Connor, Steensen,
Weinlg and Seavey, endeavored to ride a
mile tn less than two minutes at the grand
circuit races, Rochester, N. Y. t Aug. 22.
His time was 2:02',4. He was to have re
ceived a bonus had he gone under 1:56.
The Southern wheelmen's quarter-mile
track at New Orleans Is being resurfaced
wdth cement by the contractors who built
the Fountain ferry track at Louisville.
The class B racing men’s status changes
every week slightly. Up to Friday Bald
stood at the top with 79 points, Cooper
next, with 59, and then followed Gardener
and Murphy, with 58 each; Cabanne and
Titus. 48 each; E. C. Johnson. 35; Bliss, 27;
Jenny 24; while Zelgler, the “California
Demon,” who had such a promising debut
at the beginning of the season, stood at the
bottom with only 23. The other racing men
ranged downward from that point.
In a recent Florida meet a prize was
offered for the fastest mile In competi
tion. One rider made three records for
this, one being In a mile unpaced, another
In the fourth mile of a 5-mile matched
race and the third in the odd quarters,
the fifteenth, sixteenth, seventeenth and
eighteenth laps of the match race. There
was some dispute as to which was the
fastest mile upder the conditions, In
the unpaced mile, while there were sever
al entries only one man appeared and
rode, the matter was referred to (he L. A.
W. racing board. Chairman Gideon de
cided that the unpaeed mile, as it had
several entries, even though only one man
ran, was a competitive event, and that
the mile made on the even quarters of the
match race should also be counted. He
thought that the uneven quarters could
not be counted as It would create a bad
precedent. Any event on the programme
for which a prize was offered was a com
petitive event, said the chairman.
Three world’s records went glimmering
at the meeting of the Colorado L. A. W.
meet at Denver recently. K. A. Dalzell
carried off the novice’s mile race in
2:00 2-5, slicing off nearly six seconds from
the best previous record. C. C.' Collins
brought the half-mile, class A, down to
1:00 4-5, and In the unpaeed mile, class A.,
A. B. Hughes claimed another world's
record with time of 2:10 flat.
D. A. Phillips, an Erie, Pa., wheelman,
has lowered the world's road record for
fifteen miles, held by Decurdy. Phillips,
paced by a tandem, rode the distance,
seven and one-half miles and return In
37 mlnuttte fiat, beating Deeardy’s time
38 seconds. A number of watches were
held on the race, and all agreed as to the
time. The route was from Ripley Cross
ing, N. Y., to the state line.
The national circuit meet at Peterboro.
Canada, Friday, was another frost on the
Canadian circuit. The men were chilled
by the manner of the people. They were
required to pay into the treasurer’s hand
all entry fees for the races they ran, and
to ride under time limits that wore well
nigh restrictive. In every way possible
the management tried to keep the prizes
at home and failed, for the men put up a
Kood day’s sport before the smallest
crowd of the trip. Coulter rode an exhi
bition mile in 1:57 I*s, the record for Can
ada. Cooper added another first, taking
the two mile open In Im. 315., the Cana
dian competition record.

Close
Inspection
Is never feared by a store which has right
goods at right prices. At any rate we have
served the people here for twenty years and
we still invite the closest inspection of our
goods and prices.
We Will Sell on
Libera/ Credit
and guarantee fair and honorable treatment
under all circumstances, which hundreds of
our patrons can testify to. We do not jump
on you and take your goods away because
you miss a payment.
Our Prices
are 25 per cent, lower than the regular in
stallment houses.
Special Prices
can always be had for cash. We cannot
afford to sell on time as cheap as for the
cash. No one else can either, although they
may tell you so—but don’t you believe it.
When You Want
Something Good
you can always rely on getting it from us.
We are not job lot buyers, but prefer to pay
a little more and get the choice of the stock.
Advertised Prices.
We do not believe in advertising prices. No
one does it except it is for some special item
which is used as a catch. Take, for in
stance, our 99c Rugs. The regular price of
them is only one dollar, and because we took
off and made them 99c every one thought
that they were big bargains, and we sold
about a thousand of them. But to show you
that we are selling them at a bargain we
have marked the price down to 69c, The
same can be said of
59c Carpets.
Do you suppose they are worth any more?
We have always sold them at 60c a yard,
and have plenty of them at that price, and
we think the grade is just a little better
than other folks sell at 59c. They are not
the cheapest in the end. Cheap things are
always dear. Don’t you find it so? We do.
It's Different
when you buy a good thing. You are not
ashamed to show it to your friends and tell
them that you bought it at
