COTTON CULTIVATION
Monthly Talk of Commission*
or 0. B. Stevens.
THE QUESTION OF LABOR.
Hu needs of bis land and feed It as
be would bis stock.
On account of the scarcity of labor
let him fertilise bis land until be esn
make ten acres produce what twenty
now supply.
Selection of Seed.
Commissioner Olves Some Timely and
Valuable Suggestions to Farmers
of Georgia.
The Question of labor Is setting to
to such a serious one to our farmers
that it Is eery essential to tbelr suc
cess to find some plan which will en
able them, with less labor aod less
acreage, to raise as much cotton if
heretofore.
Ol course it will require very scien
tific farming to raise as much cotton
on ten acres u used to be ralsod on
twenty. To do this will require Intel-
llgence and diligence. Boms In Oeor-
gts bare done It; why not others?
There are farmers of our acquaint
ance wbo have taken land that was
considered exhausted and almost
worthless, and by ctrerul, persistent,
diligent farming on the Intensive
plan, bare brought It up to tbe point
where It produces on the average one
bale of cotton to the acre. This has
been done by careful study of the
needs of the land, by a judicious ro
tation of crops and skillful use of both
gomestlc and commercial fertilizers.
Success demands not only the ex
penditure of time and labor, but also
of money. Put as much time on ten
acres as you did on twenty and spread
upon the ten as much fertilizer as
upon the twenty and you can double
the average production to the Acre.
But no farmer can hope to obtain this
result who uses oldfashloned tools
and the oldtime methods.
Uas the Best Tools,
tn order to properly pulverise tbs
soil and get the right kind of a seed
bed, which Is tbe first essential of suc
cess with every crop, and then to prop
erly plant and cultivate, the farmer
must use Improved plows, rollers, bar-
rows, planters, weeders and cultiva
tors. With Improved implements the
farmer will be able not only to plow
the land to the necessary depth, but
also with rollers to crush the clods on
a strip three to eight feet wldt
across tbe field, with no clods left un
broken, to require tbe extra labor ol
going over the field and breaking them
one at a time. In order to use this
Improved machinery the field must,
of course, be cleared of stumps and
rocks.
Preparation and Cultivation.
When the farmer has thoroughly
turned up his land with the plow, sub-
tolling If necessary, and every clod
baa been thoroughly broken with har
row and roller, be should then put on
the necessary kind and amount of fen
tlllser by either broadcaktlng ol
by opening the furrows and
bedding on It, If It Is put between the
rows. When ready to plant, he will
do well to distribute a small part ol
fertiliser with the seed.
In the well prepared soil he should
put the seed In rows from three to six
feet apart, and when the plants have
grown to sulllclent height thin them
■out to a distance of twelve or twenty-
four inches apart, determining the die
tanco by the fertility of the soli.
The great thing to be desired li
that the stalks, when grown, should
barely meet in the row, so that they
may thus secure the strength of the
* land for the fruit.
Fertilizers.
EXPLODING BOILER
DEALS OUT DEATH
Even the best preparation and cul
tivation with the most judicious use
of fertilizers, will tail te produce the
best results, unless attention Is given
to tbe selection of seed.
The farmer should carefully select
tor his plsntlng seed from some well
approved variety, and then watch the
growth of his cotton and carefully
lect tor his next year's planting seed
from those stalks which have yielded
the largest number of bolls of the
best quality, and which lave proven
most capable of resisting any disease
that may have appeared in hts crop.
It Is a good plan to send some com
petent hand over the cotton fields and
select the beet developed bolls from
each plant. A better plan is to go
with tbe man who makes the selec
tion, and see that It Is well done. The
.seed thus selected should not be mined
with other seed and great care
should be taken that they should not
become heated during the process of
drying.
Personsl Supervision.
Nothing makes everything upon the
farm succeed and prosper as It ought
like personal supervision of the mas
ter. He should see that his land Is
properly prepared, planted and culti
vated, and that the farm Implements
are properly cared for. It will not
do to leave such matters to the most
trusted hand, unless he bo a thorough
ly competent white farmer, employed
to attend to all the business of the
farm.

Fatal Aooident In Stave Mill
at CroBsville, Tenn.
TWO KILLED; MANY INJURED.
•omethlng Got Wrong With Machinery
and While Fireman Was Trying to
Remedy the Trouble, Belter Burst
With Disastrous Results.
A judicious use of fertilizers In
creases greatly the productiveness ol
the fields.
On every farm there are mannrtal
teaourcea—from the horse lot. the
cow pen and tbe barnyard. Thees
should all be gathered together and
saved under shelter for use at the
proper time.
A compost of these animal manures
8weet Potatoes.
Sweet potatoes should be gathered
before tbe cold Is severe enough to
Injure them. They should always be
dug when the soil Is dry and the day
clear. It Is better to dig them In the
forenoon, so that they may have tbe
warm sun In which to dray out. The
vines should be cut or dragged off with
a plow and taken out of the way, so
as not to Interfere with the digging.
A good potato-digger Is the best
Implement to use, where large quanti
ties are to be harvested, since by its
use labor Is greatly facilitated, qnd It
Is not so apt to Injurs the crop as is
the plow. Where the crop 1s a small
ope, If great care Is employed, a six-
lined fork nmy be used for lifting
them out of the toll after they have
been barred oil with the plow.
After being removed from the soil
they should be left on the ground fully
exposed to the sun and air to dry for
at least two or'three hours. If they
aro cut or bruised In handling they
will decay very rapidly
Do not dig them till- they have fully
matured.
Professor J. B. Hunnlcutt, odttor ol
The Southern Cultivator, and author
of an excellent work entitled "Agri
culture for the Common Schools,"
says:
"There Is no good In leaving them
In the field after maturity. It Is a
common mistake to be governed en
tirely by tbe frosts In the matter.
By cutting a potato and letting It dry
and noting the color of the dried milk
wo can know when they are ripe. II
the milk dries white they are ripe,
otherwise they are not. They should
be dug regardless of irost."
8torlng Sweet Potatoes.
One thing must be remembered.
8weet potatoes are full of water.
They must not be covered closely un
til this has dried out
When It Is desired to store them
away for winter use, they are usually
spread In a warm, dry sheltered place
and kept there for a week or two,

IRON TRADE CONDITIONS. .
Report of the Review For the Pact
Week.
Cleveland, Oct. 8.<—The Iron Trade
Review this week sayi:
Another week has passed la which
the Iron trade has been bualer watch
ing development! than In buying and
selling. The meeting of the southern
furnacemon and their decision on
prices, the action of pig Iron producers
In three sections Indefinitely planning
to cut down production and finally the
cutting In two of the dividend on the
common stock of the United States
Steel corporation, combined to make
the week eventful. In the meantime
business has waited. We estimate the
probable curtailment of pig Iron pro
duction the last quarter of the year
through concerted action at close to
925,000 tons. This counts on 750 tons
from the restrictive program of central
western furnaces and 175,000 tons from
the southern and eastern furnaces pro
vided the eastern furnaces continue
through November and December the
20 per cent reduction planned for Oc
tober.
Tbe situation as to southern Iron
has been complicated by some moves
made In advance of the action of the
association meeting at Birmingham, i
Chattanooga, Tenn., Oct 5.—The
monument erected to the memory of

morning to attend the dedication.
Governor Smith was unable to at
tend and was officially represented by

on a stand erected at tbe base of the
monument.

R. King, of Baltimore; Rev. J. W.
Bachman, Captain J. P. Smart, and
