COTTON CROP.
ACREAGE AND PLANTING j
Mode of Preparing the Soil—Fori»er«
Warned to Pause and Carefully
Consider Their Plana.
Awt^KTA, April 9, 1900.
lk« cotton acreage for Georgia will
be virtually determined during this
month and the pretent prioe of this
staple makes the temptation very etrong
to Jiant too mnoh cotton to the neglect
of other ore pc. Ws warn the farmers
to pft us** and consider oare^pllv whether
the plans formed and which they are
aow abont to execute, provide fully for
all the snppliee needed on the farm for
both man and beast. When this pro¬
vision is mads, let the farmer plant as
ranch cotton »s be oan properly culti¬
vate and gather end he is bound to
poospet, the degree of prosperity de
pending only upoa the price of the sts
pie. Let us get baok to the good old
days when the form was a little world
vrithm itself, making almost everything
Beaded by the family. Our older read¬
ers oau »emember the farmers were the
lords of the land and the money len 1
er» of the country. Of recent years the
soene has shifted aad now the merchant
reigns supreme in the towns, while
the farmer borrows and the laud mourns
weighed down with mortgage. The
“all oottoa plan'’ may not be responsi¬
ble for the depressed condition of the
cotton growing states, but muoh
chargeable to this cause. The
i» not so much that we have too much
cotton but too few supplies.
Our farmeri got into the habit of pt G«
duciag all cotton to tho detriment of
food orops immediately after the “war
between the state-',,” when thoro was i
exorbitant demand for the fleecy star o
on account of said war, tutl oonsa
queutly prices reached a “boom” vaino.
Food crops, suoh as wheat, corn, oa ! s,
etc., were comparatively low. As soon
as the demand was lessened tho prices
began to drop. It win lifflcalt to go

liko magic all over Georgia. Tho
lumber and turpentine industries are,
a* wella* the iron and gold ore, all do
ingwell. There is and will be a great
domaud for grains and grasses, cattle,
hogs, poultry, butter and eggs. This
will bring into circulation more money
to buy more cotton goods than for
years, hence wo believe that oottou will
be a good price next fall
Concerning the plauting of cotton we
advise that just as soon as the grouud
has been prepared and all danger of frost
is over, plant your cottonseed. Tho early
plauts, as a gederal thing, produce tbs
best fruit. Don’t wait until tho ground
becomes too dry to produce germination
of the seed. Run a harrow over the
beds, when they are not fresh, so as to
freshen the surface. You oau do this
with but little loss of time if you will
arrrngo a small plow immediately ba
hind tho teeth of the harrow so as to
open a furrow for tho planter, or use
the planter with nu opener. The har
row will not ouly froshon the bed. but
rttnovo clods aud other obstacles and
kill ths germinating grass.
Whvn thj oottou is ready to come up
run your harrow over the bed agaiu
and this will aid you iu getting a good
stand and besides kill another crop of
grass. We prefer tho planter that cov
ere tho seed with the donble-foot bull
tongue to the board, used with some
the cotton planters. We have geuor

MADE MONEY ON ROUND BALEB.
Patrons of Roundlap Gin Plants Tell of
The r Big Profits.
The past ginning season again demon¬
strated the incomparable superiority of
The American Cotton Company’s Round
lap bale. Not only were, farmers bene
fitted who had their cotton put up in
Roundlap bales, bnt even the patrons of
old-style gins profited by the presence of
Roundlap competition.
Fanners all over the cotton states have
written letters to the owners of Round
lap plants telling of the profit that has
come to them from having their cotton
put up in Roundlap bales. Mr. W' F.
Hartley, Hr., " ho patronized the Green¬
ville, Ala., plant, wrote Feb. 3, 1900:
“The most important point in the Round
lap bale’s favor to the farmer is the ad¬
vance in price above that of the square
bale. It has averaged the entiret pas
season $2.00 per bale more than the square
bale. More than $5,000 has been placed
in circulation by the advanced price
caused by this one price.
Mr. F. M. Rogers also wrote from
Greenville, Ala.: “I have received from
% to % cent per pound more than the
market price here for square bales. The
Roundlap bale is a Godsend to the far¬
mers, mid has saved them thousands of
dollars in a few months.”
Mr. J. 1). Ileilv, Centreville, Miss.,
wrote Dec. 4, 1899: “Another advant¬
age to the farmers is that Roundlap cot¬
ton brings such a good price that the buy¬
ers of square cotton have been forced to
put their prices up. Thus all the farmers
are 1 m nefiited in a town where there is no
Ronndlap press.”
Mr. F. B. Simon ton, Temple, Tex. Nov
J■ : ;i!>: “I hove received from $1.50to
$-j.5C per halo more for my cotton than if
I had ginned and sold in the square bale.
Besides I know that the prices The Amer¬
ican Cotton Company has paid for seed
cotton litve been the cause of those buy¬
ing the square bale paying from 10 to 50
points more for it.”
M. J. L. Wood, of Venus, Tex., Dec.
2.1899, wrote. “I sold to The American
Gotten Company at its East Waco plant gin-1
th« first bale „f cotton that waa ever
nod by tho Roundlap bale .system at Wa ¬
co, ami have been selling my cotton in
the hfcc .1 to you since that time. For the
last three years, including 1899, l have
sold my cotton to your Venus plant. I
can safely say that f havo made $2.00 per
bale more by soiling (o you in the seed
dian I would made if J had ginned it in
-<> squaro bales, besides saving a groat
leal of annoyance with tlie street buyers,
i’i view of the fact that the custom gin
iers and those opposed to the Roundlap
system say that you do not let the farmer
Have .-gotten cotton seed seed I when will say I asked that 1 font, have |d
way
Mr. P. B. Hall, a merchaht and planter
of Wanesboro, Ga.., wrote Nov. 10, 1899,
to Messrs. Wilkins & Joueg, owners of
the Roundlap plant at that place; “I had
one lot of twenty bales turned out by you,
and without saying anything to anybody
t put tho samples on the market, all of
the buyers in town bill upon same, think-
ing it square bale cotton. One of the buy
ers bid coats, another 5.87*4 cents,
and another 5.95 cents, and latter remark -
ing at tho time that he was really bidding
a full sixteenth more than the lot of cot
ton was worth, Without knowing what
bids I had received—in fact I did not tell
you that anybody had bid upon it—you
offered and paid mo 6.50 for the lotof cot
ton, which was a clear difference of 55
p 0 i tl t, s m favor of the Roundlap hale. I
i>oliovo that the Roundlap bale is the bale
of future, as it effects a huge saving
n f w(u ,te, and enables the planter to gtt
a higher price for liis cotton.”
^ r Abram williams, Nov. 10, 1899,
wro t e Messrs. Wilkins & Jones: “To¬
day I had two Roundlap bales of cotton
packed ou your Roundlap Dale press, for
which you paid uie 7^ v cents per pound,
when the same grade of cotton in the
square hale here to-day is ouly bringing
7 to cents per pound.”
Mr. ,F. S. Collins, Pike Road, Ala. Nov
11, 1899, wrote: “I have gotten for my
cotton $2,50 per bale more than I could
have gotten for it in square balsa. I be¬
lieve that the Roundlap press is the sal¬
vation of the farmers of our country.
believe that it has saved in our neighbor¬
hood of eight or ten miles square
ip the price of cotton, and 20,000
of lint cotton that would have been lost
in samples, theft aud weight, and #1
in warehouse charges, besides drayage
and railroad expenses.

ABOUT THE VELVET BEAN.
Information In Regard to a Vnluabla
Forage Plant.
Question. —Please give me some in¬
formation about the velvet bean.
Answer. —We have had no personal
c . X p erlen ce with what is known as the
velvet bean, and what we shall write
will necessarily be taken from others
who have had such experience.
Mr. A. P. Newheart of Oconee, Fla.,
writes that the pea or velvet beau has
been planted there for twenty years as
ooveringi for trellises and unsightly
plaoes. The abundance of vine and
foliage so completely oovering the
ground after the frost, suggested the
idea of planting the bean in bis orchard
grove as a manure instead of buying
oommercial guanos. The result was so
satisfactory that he was induoed to ex¬
tend his experiment to other groves.
He was delighted with the showing.
His groves showed up well with those
ou which he used fertilizers.
The bean should be planted in April
or May, in middle Georgia, or about the
■ame time yon plant field peas Plant
as you plant the field peas; say from
three to five beans in a place, from 12 to
14 inches apart in three feet rows.
When the bean begins to run, use the
plow or cultivator; one or two piowinga
will be sufficient. The average yield
per acre is from 15 to 26 bushels of the
beans. The vines, which are abundant,
can be used as a forage for cattle or
horses, or they can be left on the land
to be turned under in the fall, which is
said to be a very flue renovator of poor
exhausted lands, even better than the
pea vine.
Prof. A. A. Persons, Director of the
Florida Experimental Station, gives the
following comparative analysis of the
velvet bean and cow pea:

relish where it has been grown. How
ever, any forage stall' which runs so
high in nitrogen as the velvet bean,
should be fed with some coarse food,
such as corn, fodder or corn stalk
shreds. If Mr. Newheart’s plan of
planting this bean in orchards for
shade, mulch and fertilization, is a
success in Florida, why would not this
bean be a success planted between the
rows of trees in the fruit orohards
in Middle and South Georgia?
The velvet beans oau bo bought from
