Cotton has been cultivated for a long time tn the south, particularly in Geor gia. Certainly, its cultivation had been commenced in the earliest days of the colony, the possibilities of its culture having been reported to the council in London. England, as early as 1710. or 170 years ago. From the very earliest date ft seems to have been regarded as one of the greatest crops which could be cultivated, and history proves this con clusion to have been correct. The two big principal types of cotton cultivated are the Sea Island or long staple, and upland, or short staple. The Sea Island cotton is supposed to have originated in the Barbados islands, and for a long time it was thought its cul tivation could only be practiced suc cessfully on the islands off the Atlan tic coast. This has been shown to be erroneous and the greater pert of the crop is now grown in Georgia, though Florida has in late years increased her acreage of Sea Island cotton to a con siderable extent. It la quite probable that its cultivation can be extended much beyond its present borders when better methods of breeding and selection to perpetuate those characteristics which make it so valuable are more generally appreciated than at the present time. Th* origin of upland cotton Is not clear, but It was certainly cultivated from very sndaat times by the Indians of Mexico, and particularly by the Moqui tribe. The cotton grown by them as compared with the upland cotton of to day was very inferior indeed, and the cotton produced in Mexico, as a rtrtg, does not compare at all with that grown in the gulf states. Os the other grade or standard sorts of cotton cultivated in the world the Chinese is among the most peculiar. This cotton grows on a very tall slen der stalk: the bolls are small, compara tively scarce on the plant, and the fiber is very short. The average American farmer would be utterly disgusted with the cultivation of cotton if he had to contend with a type of plant such as Is produced in China. Thia cotton has one advantage, however, in that the staple, though short, is exceedingly tough, prob ably being stronger than that of any other type of cotton. A great rival of Sea Island cotton is that produced tn Egypt known as Egyp tion cotton. The cotton of India as now grown will never rival the fiber produced in America, and this is true of the types now cultivated in Turke stan and other parts of Asa. Some African cotton as now cultivated in Myanaaland has been grown in the demonstration field on the college farm the past year, and if this is a fair sam ple. the quality of the cotton is very deatrable and the fiber exceptionally fine. This cotton is produced near the equator, and therefore, the problem of labor and cultivation is exceedingly dlt ficutt. and even though it may be pos sible to produce a superior fiber, it will be many years before cotton can be cultivated with any degree of success In that country because a new civilisa tion must first be developed. Various freaks in the line of cotton types are met with occasionally, ano sometimes they attract attention. Among these may be mentioned the lintless cot ton. Th‘s is virtually a naked seeded type, producing an abundance of seed but virtually no lint. It might be pos- Higher Cost of Living Does not Include Fence Ten years ago it took 2 bushels of corn to buy 1 rod of fence. To day 1 bushel of corn will buy 2 rods of better fence.

Furnsshedtree affination. stble to grow a ton of seed per acre, but at present prices for lint and seed, no one could afford to cultivate the lintless cotton, and it must be regarded for the present as a freak type. Occasionally, green cotton is met with. Some of this is frequently found in Russell’s big boll from which it is supposed to have been derived as a sport. This green lint is practically worthless, being very short, very soft and devoid of tensile strength. It is nothing more or less than a freak and should not be given serious consid eration on that account. ■ From this brief description of some of the leading sorts of cotton which have all been cultivated and observed in the demonstration field during the past year, it would appear that America pro duces in both the long and short staple type a quality of fiber infinitely supe ror, taken as a whole, to anything which has yet been produced on a commer cial scale elsewhere in the world. The combination of conditions which favor the production of this superior type of cotton are so familiar to all as to need no enumeration or comment at this time. It is well to remember, however, that in enjoying, as we do, a virtual monopoly In cotton production, we cannot afford to Ignore what is being done in other sections of the world, nor to sit idly by and feel content with what has been achieved up to the present time, as it is clearly possible to improve the char acter and quality of the American staple to the immense advantage of the citizens not only of the south, but of the entire world as well. Comparatively little attention has been given to the systematic improvement of cotton, a matter which is greatly to be deplored, for it is one of the most inter esting of all plants to work .with, and should be made the basis of a part of the instruction offered in every agricul-' tural college and secondary school in the south. It is a clean plant to work with and is interesting in every stage of growth from the seed to the production of the boll and the ripening of the sta ple. A clear understanding of the varia tions which occur in cotton and some of the fundamental hereditary principles involved in developing newer and better types would bring joy and gladness in to the hearts of millions of boys and girls who live in the southland, though this would be the least of the benefits such knowledge would confer, as it would add millions upon millions to the revenue of the south and give greater perma nence and dominance than is even now enjoyed in the production of the fiber most essential to the welfare of human ity. At the present time there are innumer able so-called varieties of upland cotton, but comparatively few of these have any fixity of type. They have been evolved by a haphazard system of selec tion. and probably some of the best fixed of these may be regarded as mu tants or sports evolved in the great lab oratory of nature of which process man knows comparatively little as yet. Os the numerous varieties now cultivated only a few are worthy of the attention of the American cotton planter. The greater part should be discarded as worthless, and the attempt now being constantly made to put new varieties on the market by those who think they have found an exceptionally good plant in their fields is to be deplored. It should THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA. GEORGIA. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2. 191A not be concluded from this for one* moment that the farmer should not give the greatest care and attention to the selection of his seed and to every legiti mate endeavor to Improve the character and quality of the fiber he grows, but there Is a great difference between do ing this for his individual benefit And constantly attempting to put on the mar ket some so-called variety which does not possess stable qualities and the cul tivation of which cannot be pursued With success over any considerable area of the country. The fact that thousands upon thousands of farmers have bought a so-called new variety’ and found it turn to ashes in their hands has done more to discourage the use of good seed and the legitimate breeding of typ s of cotton the qualities of which will be fairly well fixed than anything else. AN APPRECIATIVE READER. H. D. W., Andalusia, Ala., writes: I feel grateful for the information I get from the agricultural page of The Jour nal. It is a great help In many ways. I wish to know what will take lice off of cows without injuring the cow. Down in this wiregrass country lice on cows seems to be a common pest. When treating animals that are af fected with lice and confined it is nec essary to cleanse and disinfect the quar ters. This can be accomplished very ; often by a good coat of paint or white- ' wash that fills all the cracks. It is, of course, impossible to free animals from ‘ lice until the quarters have been thor-; oughly disinfected. It Is important to j bear in mind that a second applica- i tlon should be made in five to eight days I after the first treatment. Any acid solu- ■ tion, such as vinegar at the rate of one pint to one quart of water is excellent i for destroying nits. Animals infested with lice should be well fed and cared ‘ fqr, and a mixture of one part of sul- • phur to five parts of common salt may be fed with advantage. All loose mate rial and rubbish should be removed and burned. One of the very best methods lof destroying lice is to apply any of: I the alkaline coal tar products which 1 are found on the market under the trade name of Creolin, Zenoleum, Chloro-Nap tholeum, etc. They should be used In the proportion of one part to 50 parts of I water, but if the case is a very bad one, use only 30 parts of water. This , is probably the simplest, cheapest and , most effective method of freeing cattle j !of lice, though, of course, tobacco, kero- , sene and various soaps may be used. j • They are more difficult to make and ap- ( ply, however, and not more efficient. IY’ou should be certain before giving this treatment that your cattle are affected with lice, since there is some probablll ! ty that they may have ticks, and if so, the treatment suggested will not be es- I fective. | A SMALL. FARMERS PROBLEMS I J. F. T., Moultrie, Ga., writes: I wish I some information as to how to prepare 'and fertilize my place the coming sea son. It is a light pebbly soil with clay j foundation from 10 to 18 inches deep, I and made a very poor crop this year. 'lt had not had any fertilizer on it for two years previous to this, and only , about 200 pounds of a 9-2-3 this year. I have only two pony mules to prepare it ! with and no barnyard manure. Does Jjong staple cotton injure the land? If not, where can I get some of the seed? | Any land that has a good clay founda tion should not be difficult to improve, j though it will take time and patience to accomplish the feat. We sometimes for get that nature was thousands of years in preparing the land for man, and that he in a period of 50 years has so greatly reduced its fertility that it is now some- j . times cultivated at a loss. We cannot i expect to build land up immediately, | therefore. The first thing for you to do is to divide your farm up and let a part ' of your effort go into the improvement of your soil. This may not be but four . or five acres, but begin by all means. The land should be seeded in your section to ‘ velvet beans. Let them grow as vigo’r -1 ously as they will and plow them under !in the fall. This will supply that section of your land with a good lot of vegeta ble matter. Then, the land you have to crop this year break it as completely as you can with the implements and animals you have at hand. Subsoil it with a bull tongue if you can do no better. Then gather up as much litter and vegetable mold as you can from the forest, and ap ply not less than two tons per acre in the drill row. This may not be rich in plant food but it will help some and will tend to make the soil resistant to drouth next summer. The next thing is to use a good high grade fertilizer in liberal amount. This should be applied at the rate of not less than 500 pounds per acre. We would say to use on your land not less than a 3-9-3 or a 3-10-4. If it Is necessary for you to restrict your operations to a compara tively small area, you will find it much ] better to do so than to try to cultivate a large acreage and only half do the work. Thoroughness of soil preparation, intelligent fertilization, and careful and efficient cultivation are some of the things essential to securing a good yield of cotton or any other farm crop. We prefer to put the fertilizer and compost or yard manure under the drill row, say two weeks before planting. We plant our cotton in four-foot rows, making a wide deep furrow to receive the manure and fertilizer and mixing it with the sub soil by means of a bull-tongue. We then make a comparatively low flat bed and plant the seed in hills or drills. There is no reason why long staple cot ton should injure land any more than any other kind, except that it may make a larger stalk, and require on that ac count more liberal feeding in order to se cure a satisfactory yield. I think you can secure good seed of long staple cot ton from Mr. I. F. Arnow, St. Mary’s, Ga. *• • • FALL PREPARATION OF LAND FOR COTTON. E; W., Frolona, Ga., writes: I have 13 acres of gray, gravelly land and I do not know just how to prepare it and fertilize it to get the best results from cotton. My idea is to lay off the ground thig fall and apply 200 pounds of high grade acid to the acre In the spring, and before I get ready to plant use a turning plow, and then burst out the middles and then plant and put in 250 pounds of guano, and about the last of June use about 75 pounds of nitrate of soda to the acre. What do you think of this plan? If you know of a better one I would be glad to have it. The £olor of your land may be simply due to the fact that the iron, which makes some of our soils appear to be red, is leached out of it; or in other words, it has undergone a more com plete decomposition than some of ths red lands. The gray may also be due i to the presence of a considerable amount lof sand. In that case your soil is more I likely to be leachy, and will resist | drouth less satisfactorily than if it con tains a larger per cent of clay. Gravel ly soil, as a rule, is benefited by the use i of as much vegetable matter as you can l secure, and if you have not a lot of . yard manure on hand to put under the drill rows of your cotton, gather up all the leaves, trash and material suitable for compost and use it as a substitute. The manure, of course, is superior to anything else, but good compost will prove very beneficial, and this is par , ticularly true in a dry season. It will also furnish some plant food which Is an Important matter to most of our crops. For myself, I would prefer to work the land as completely end thoroughly as possible; that is, not prepare simply 11he drill rows, but break and etir it all. turning it over as deeply as possible and leaving Lu as LUUgh cojldlitoa as I WINCHESTER El in quality than it is cheap in price—Winchester Factory Loaded Repeater Shells will surely please you.

M'Kee, Ky.—The most wonderful mother in the United States and prob ably in the world, is “Aunt Jane" Mor : rls. At the age of 86 she has 518 descend ants, nearly .all pf whom are living. But there's quality as well as quan tity in her motherhood. Not one of these children has ever been accused of a crime, and they live in the mountain district of Kentucky! You would think that the mayor of a village of 518 peo ple, where the laws were never broken, was quite a worthy person. Mrs. Morris is head of such a modern community —her big family. And that isn’t all. These many de scendants proceed from one marriage. She remained true to her husband un til his death 30 years ago (six years after their golden wedding) and did not remarry.

It is all right in the spring then to break out the drill rows, saj four feet apart. You may use a plow for this purpose and make the furrow good and deep. Then take your bull tongue and run underneath the furrow so as to deepen and open up the soil as complete ly as possible. Next put in your com post and mix it with the soil. A fer tilizer can also be applied at this time provided it is not more than two weeks before planting. Then, after mixing the compost and fertilizer well with the soil, make a low bed, and plant either in hills or in drills.

You ' will not get as large single stalk by ' this practice as where you only leave one stalk, but you will secure a larger I yield of cotton. • ; Most of our lands need liberal ap ! plications of potash, but personally, we 1 would prefer to apply 500 pounds cf a mixture containing not less than 3 per cent of nitrogen, 10 per cent of phos phoric acid and 3 to 4 per cent of potash rather than the formula you suggest. Cff course, this is not a large enough amount of plant food to insure an ex 'ceptional yield of cotton unless you have put into the soli In the form of com post materials containing plant food in as quickly available form as that contained in three to five tons of manure. What is needed is enough veg etable matter in the soil to enable the J fertilizer to do its work properly and stimulate a quick and vigorous growth in the early part of the season, and provide enough plant food to feed the crop throughout the growing season. The vegetable matter will enable the soil to hold moisture, and if you can secure an abundant supply of that very neces sary article, there will be no shedding of your cotton and it will continue to set on squares and develop bolls until late in the season. The question of applying i itrate of soda as a top dressing depends alto gether on the vigor of the growth se cured. If your plants are In healthy condition and develop plenty of staik, there is no need of using nitrate, but nitrate will be found helpful on many soils where there is a deficiency of vege table matter. • • • FERTILIZING FALL SOWN OATS. R. 8. A.. Milledgeville, Ga., writes: Please advise me what mixture of fer tilizer I must use and when same should be applied for fall oats? I have about five acres of stiff red land which I have had in cotton for the past two years with BCO pounds of fertiliser per acre each year, also a fairly good coating of yard sweepings, and I want to change now and sow oats. I am turning the land with a disk plow. Shall I sow or drill the oats? > It is Important that winter oats be sown as soon as possible. In fact, for large and certainty of a good crop, we would always prefer to sow several weeks earlier. It is very essential that the land be deeply broken, and the d:sk plow is a good implement to use for this purpose. The land should be leveled and dis- cd and harrowed until a fine seed bed is secured. We would prefer to sow In open furrows, and certainly think this would be the only safe plan to follow so late in the season. You may use a sin gle stalk drill for seeding constructed on the plan of those ordinarily used for putting down cotton seed and fertilizer. We would apply at least SCO pounds of ! fertilizer per acre at the time of seed ing. This mixture should contain at least 2 per cent of nitrogen. 8 per cent of phosphoric acid and 4 per cent of pot ash. The nitrogen may very properly * be secured from cotton seed meal as it is 33 Farms at fertile Browndale in Pulaski County, Georgia Out of the 6,000-acre plantation subdivided into 100 farms offered severaT weeks ago there are only 33 left for sale. 33 elegantly situated improved farms that offer a competence to the first 33 men who know when to take advantage of the accepted time. t Every farm situated on public road and contains dwelling, barn, wood, . water and from 25 to 200 acres.

The advantage of the open furrow system lies in the fact that it puts the seed down well into the ground and the freezes of winter cause a part of the soil to be worked dow-n around the roots of the plants as they grow. The destruction of oats generally results from one or more hard freezes which tend to spew them out of the ground and the open furrow method has been found almost a specific for this trouble. In the spring you should use nitrate of soda on your oats at the rate of 100 to 150 pounds per acre, depending on the character of stand se cured and the vigor of growth. One or two applications may be advisable. NEWSPAPER MEN HOLD MEETING IN SAVANNAH SAVANNAH, Ga..
