Perhaps you have never given much con -•iteration to their purchase, but think for a minute of the long days the little ones must spend in using them, and how muh pleasure and -satisfaction it means if everything is just like they want it.

What Is Lost By Burning The Cotton Stalks Hr. B. \V. Kilgore, Stale Chem ist of North Carolina, states that: Ihe roots stems, bolls and leaves corresponding to (or which pro duce) five hundred pounds of lint cotton, are around 8,145 pound--, or more than one and one half tons, containing 17.7 pounds of nitro gen, 26.5 pounds of phosphoric acid, 50.3 pounds of potash, and 59.8 pounds of lime; or the equiv alent of five tons of good manure. ” These figures are the result of actual weighing and analyzing, and not guess-work. North Carolina, or the part of it where these tests were made, is pretty well toward the northern limit of the Cotton Belt and the proportion of roots, stems, and leaves, to lint produced, is smaller than in more southern portions of the Cotton Belt. Hence it would seem quite probable that the fig ures obtained in North Carolina are under, rather than over, in the average Cotton Belt. If this be true, and we have no reason to doubt it, the acre of land which produces a 500-pound bale of cot ton also produces, on an average, approximately one and on&-half tons of humus-forming material which is destroyed when the stalks are burned. This is the greatest need of our southern soils, even the supposedly rich Mississippi Delta soils showing large increase in crops from the addition of hum us-forming materials In addition of this, keeping in mind that the uext greatest need of Southern soils is nitrogen, it must not be forgotten that when the stalks which produce 500 pounds of lint are burned, there is a complete loss of 67.7 pounds of nitrogen, which at 18 cents a pound is worth $12.18. Fire, has ever been the bane of Southern agriculture, and every scientific fact and all intelligent experience dictates that it must cease, We must use the impli ments and team force necessary to plow under all the vegetable mat ter that can not be used for feed ing live stock ; for without humus, Southern 3'uls are poor,while with it, they will produce most abund antly.— Progressive Farmer.
