JBE IMPORTANCE OF GETTING IN FALL
CROPS EARLY.
During the early part of August the
•Weather, as a rule, was most favorable,
and the bountiful crops reported from
almost every section of the south are
now rapidly advancing towards ma
lurity.
These favorable seasons also put the
lands iu line condition for the prepara
lory work of plowing, harrowing, etc.,
In order to be ready for the sowing of

Wo cannot believe that farmers will

their corn crop, as haH been the uuiver

they are convinced that the alleged

COTTON PICKING.
It is the earliest pickings that are ua
«*aUy the cleanest and which bring the
i best prioe. It is a mistake to wait until
1 the fields are white to begin. An unex¬
pected storm or an extended period of
wet weather may work incalculable in¬
jury. The point to be aimed at is to
get our cotton to the markets in the
best possible condition. The classifica¬
tion is becoming more strict each year,
. and our careless methods of handling
and haling this, our main dependence
as a money crop, have giveu rise to a
heavy tare, which must come out of the
pockets of tho farmers.
PEA SEED.
At every favorable opportunity gather
peas for seed. The high price this year,
owing to last year’s short crop,
shows the importance of sowiug
enough at least for your own use. Every
farmer, who has tried this crop, knows
its value to his land and to his stock,
and while the gathering of the seed
comes at an inconvenient time, as it
often conflicts with other important
work, no effort should be spared to
house plenty of saed and to do this
work as soon after they are ripe as pos¬
sible.
