Even in revalutionary times there were “trusts”—in miniature, of coarse, compared with the gigantic trusts of today—which “cornered” supplies and fattened upon the famine of the peo ple and of the patriotic Continental army. Writing of them, Washington said: “It gives me sincere pleasure to find that the assembly of Pennsylvania is so well disposed to second your endeavors in bringing the murderers of cur cause, the monopolizers, forestalled and en grossers, to condign punishment. It is much to be lamented that each state, long ere this, has not hunted them down as pests to society and the great est enemies we have to the happiness of America. I would to God that some one of the most atrocious in each state was hang in gibblets upon a gallows five times as high as the one proposed by Hamau. No punishment, in my opin ion, is too great for the man who builds his greatness upon his country’s ruin.” —Southern Mercury. DOES IT PAY TO BUY CHEAP?

IT PAYS BETTER THAN COTTON Unnecessary to Specially Prepare th< Land Before Sowing end Sta ble Mauure Favored. To the Editor of the Macon Telegraph: Having won the first prize for the largest yield of wheat on 1 acre, also on 4 acres of land in Middle Georgia, I have received many requests for infor mation in regard to my method of prep aration, culture, etc., I ask space in your columns to give the result of sev eral years successful wheat growing, hoping thereby to present to your many readers some ideas that will be of bene fit to them. I will write of this sub ject by answering the practical ques tions that are usually asked me. Question —When is the best time to sow wheat? Answer—Just after the first freeze or killing frost in November. By waiting until then many insects that are so destructive to wheat are de stroyed. To sow in October wheat would be more liable to get killed in early spring. As to the kind of laud I suggest that you sow your best upland. Nearly all wheat growers are partial to red land, but I must say that two of the poorest yields I ever had were on red land. Tell me what season will be next April and M*y and I can tell you the kind of soil that will give the best result My wheat land is not specially pre pared for sowing. I sow wheat after ootton that has been well cultivated. If the stalks are large I usually drag some thing over them, after which I plow them up with a scooter plow and let them remain where they are. Q.—What is the beat manure, and how do you nse it ? A.—l use all manures broadcast Nothing better than stable manure. Oow manure, when obtained from cot tonseed meal and hulls, equals anything you oan use. Cottonseed are fine for a rainy season, and will not leach like other manures. As to commercial fer tilizers, I know nothing of them. But you can always rely on acid phosphate and cottonseed meal, mixed two of aeid to one of meal. Though dryer the sea son the better the result Too much meal will kill the seed wheat at the time of germination. Q.—What variety of wheat do yon sow? A.—lt is purple straw. Q.—How do yon treat your seed wheat? A.—l shake all of the small grains possible out of the wheat by passing through a fan over a 8 16 inch sieve at about 80 degrees incline. If you cannot secure your seed in that way go to some place in your field where you have only ordinary wheat and there cat off enough for your seed. It ie perfectly natural for wheat to have two grains to the mesh, and when you grow more than two yon will find a great many email grains. Q— Why select the best gralne for seed? A—Because it is the mother to the little plant. The larger the grain the more vitality it has, the more uniform is its growth and all the plants are more able to withstand injuries. To get the growth aud ripening more uniform in crease the yield, and to increase the yield improves the seed. Q.—How do you keep down smut? A—l have never seen any smut iif my wheat Neither will you if you will annually put one-quarter of a pound of well pulverized buestone into 1 gal lon of boiling water. When dissolved pour it over 1 bushel of wheat while hot and stir until every grain is wet After you have done this you should apply slack lime just as much as will adhere to each grain. You will find this to be very profitable. The wheat will grow a little taller and will stand a much harder winter than without this application. I sow my wheat broadcast in the manure so as to give the little plant all the strength and vigor possible during the winter months. Q How rnnch wheat must we aow per aore in order to get the best results? A.—lf you select your seed wheat as you do your corn, I say sow nothing less than one bushel per acre. An acre of land that will require two bushels to be well seeded can be sown with one bushel, and the yield will be nearly at good, but not near so satisfactory. Why? Because when it is thinly sown the plant will spread, it shoots up irreg ularly, is not uniform in growth, does not ripen evenly, has a coarse strew, and the only good thing that can be aaid about it is that it has a good head. Q —How do yon plow in your grain, and how deep? A—l turn under with a common turn plow, and I suppose the seed could be found on an average of from 8 to 4 inches under the top of the soiL I level the ground with a harrow, brush or anything that will put the ground in good shape for the harvesting maohine We have now six months to rest from seed time till harvest Q. —At what time do yon cut your wheat? A—When yon see the heads begin to turn down you can get your maohine ready for harvest. Q.— Why not cut on the green order so as to have better straw? A.—By so doing yon open up a chan nel for mold and rust iu your next crop. Give the little wheat germ all that na ture calls for, and it will be more able to ward off the much dreaded diseases. Now, if we can trust our wheat in the hands of nature let’s do our fields likewise. Nature says to man, ditch your land. Man says to nature, I will terrace. And we evidently see that man will follow man, whether he be right or wrong. But I will add fpr safety—good seed, good soil and proper drainage Is a successful road for all wheat growers to traveL I have seen wheat under water on terraced land for nearly a weak at a time. Wheat ie not rice. Neither U an excesa of water hemmed up on a hillside in keeping with the law of nature. I have been asked if the height of wheat had anything to do with the yield. That depends on the seasons and the amount of manure yon used. Where I raised tiO bushels of wheat to the acre last year it grew to be 5 feet tall. I had another piece equally as tall that grew only 86 bushels to the acre. The former was broadcast with barnyard man are, about 16 loads per acre. Also acid phos phate, two to one of cottonseed meal, about 300 pounds per acre. The latter piece had never been manured with any barnyard manure, bat was broadcast with cottonseed, about 15 to 20 bushels per aore, and acid phosphate two to one of cottonseed meal, 3(k' pounds per aore. This pieoe of land, an ordinary year, will yield about 1,000 pounds of seed cotton per acre. You caa safely use 400 pounds of acid phosphate and cottonseed meal as above mentioned. Q. —Will it pay to raise wheat? A—Yes. I raised last year 350 bush els of wheat, at f 1.00 per bushel, $360; 13 tons of straw at 30 cents per 100, $72; 14 tons of hay, $140; total, $682. Leav ing the land benefited 20 per oent. The expense of these seven acres: Seed wheat, sl4; preparing land, $7; fertil izers—cottonseed meal and acid, $17.50; barnyard manure, $62.60; harvesting, $10; threshing, $8o; total expense. $136; leaving $426 profit aud 11 months to play aud one to work. If I had only raised one-seventh of what I did I would have had more profit than if I had raised one bale of cotton per acre at 6 cents per pound. Yours truly, W. P. Walk**. NO RIGHT TO UGLINESS.
