FiVE-CENT COTTON.
The farmers' hopes have been disappoint
ed—dashed to the ground. Many a hopeful
eno planted his crop last spring In the full
expectation of selling It for not less than
7 cents per pound in the fall. Keeble and
unavailing eitorts v.uv made by the Cot
ton Growers' Protective Association to in
duce the farmers to adopt a general reduc
tion of area.
The writer hereof, although In entire
sympathy with the ultimate object in view,
expressed his utter want of faith In the
! effectiveness of any scheme to reduce the
. area at large by resolutions. Such efforts
I have ever been utterly futile. It is useless
to go over the arguments to show that
in the very nature of the case such efforts
must fail of success. It is only necessary
to point to past experience ot failure in
such plans. They have never reduced worth
a cent and never will, liven if a general
and mat< rial reduction of the cotton acre
age should be effected by such means,
with tile result of a material advance in
| the market price, it would require the
power of the United States to prevent, a tre
mendous Increase in the area the next fol
lowing year. It it utt< rly Impr; ctlca-ble to
control live hundred thousand farmers of
the cotton states by conventions and reso
lutions looking to what may be called “Hat”
reduction.
Were the area to bo reduced by force of .
law, or by some w!<i . pr< a.d disaster, such i
| us a destructive frost in May, ami the prod- j
uct be cut down to six mill.(.ms of bales (or |
less) and the price should advance to 10 |
cents a jxiund and be maintained until
another planting season, no argunn lit, rea
son or persuasion would avail to prevent
the planting of by far tlie largest aria over
before planted; and wo would probably
harvest a 12.00v.U00 or 11,Uu0,000-bale crop,
that will have cost an av< rage of not less
th.in I cents a pound, and be forced to sell
11 at s(' its, or less. I'ut cotton at 10 cents
a pound for one twelvemonth, and let. the
price of cotton goods go up corresponding-
■ ly. and tho maikets of the world would
not require ten m llions of bales.
: <'.>HV< ntioius. state end inlet kite, district I
' associations and county clubs ot farnie-is j
■ may do much toward suit lug the problem, I
but it must la' doitu along d.i ■ r. nt lin s. It ■
i must be along lit:' ;. it- must ,
■ ■ ' or to
' united <molt to accomplish an unattainable ,
.. but to th i .■ i nmon eiisc ,
! and self-interest of each individual farmer. I
Jiavo made the argunu ... on this Imo |
betui. ; WO 1. IXO been pr.sslng it with all .
' the ability n.t command for vi-ral years.
The argument is in a nutshell, and the ,
tih.cH m.iv bo fusiiy cr*i<’ktAl tHJtAxvdi tlio I
teeth oi common .sense. 1£ a firmer cannot
make eelto.,l ala cost per pound less than
the mat'itet price or the last preceding
season, he should not plant cotton, lx ho
n plant i few selectacri ... - i rat will
! each produce a bale of cotton, at a cost of
' 4 cents a pound or le.ss. let him plant them
and not another acre. He nerd not—ought
I f . ot t o worry about what his Neighbor is
going to do—what all the other farmers
'are going to do. Let such an individual
i farmer stand up like Joshua of old, who
] Choose you tills daj ■' lom yo will
serve; . . . but as for me and my house
wo will servo the Cord. 1 ixet him resolve
to cut down tho cost of malting his cotton
I and no longer serve King Cotton as an ab
. Je -t slave- for ids victuals ami eiothcs, and
I scant at that!
We arc moved to recur to this line of
i thought I We. have followed it before) at
: this time by reading of more than uno ini

’ sort of action for the benefit ot cotton pr-

Questions of Interest to Farmer, Answered

Ginseng Culture.
J. R. Harrison. Hat t.evllle, S. C., Is In
formed that ginseng is a plant that does
not submit readily to domestication. Prac
tically all the ginseng gathered In this
country is dug from thin woods. There is
no book on th<- subject of ginseng culture—,
so tar as we know. We have answered
similar questions to this many times.
To Remove Cow Ticks.

of how to get ticks oil of cows, I will give

the c iw with kerosene, once or twice lightly
with rag dipped In same.
Any kind of grease will destroy tho ticks.
Kerosene oil is excellent as you state. Tho
trouble Is that many will not persist in
I any remedy long enough to get rid of all
tho ticks in a paster,.'. It must bo kept
up until, after cold weather has set In.

1. Filthy, eonlined quarters, bud water,

I diseases of fowls, especially ot dlstemp i
I and roup, which seems to be tho disease
i affeet lug your fowls.
I 2. As a (.:■ iil rule, it doe, not pay to
i treat a fowl after it. has contracted a viru
' J'.nt disease. Cl. an out tho roosting places
In the most tborough manner, burning all
i little and burying all scrapings, droppings
! and dead chickens. Whitt wash thoroughly
i with wash made up with a 5 per cent solu
i ti"ii of arl 0 . aeid ami lime. Ket'c-,. a
is the most promising remedy for Individ
ual treatment.
2. Hold t!ic fowl eo it cannot swallow
and till the mouth and throat with kero
sene and let it remain for a minute; then
pour it out. Also Inject, a little of the oil
into the nostrils. Burn or deeply bury till
badly affected fowls.
3. Tho ''best ch'ap manure” for corn on

3.000 pounds of acid phosphate, 700 pounds

4. Cotton s ed meal is best, as above.
5. Yes. Mix one-tit.rd each of aeid phos

do not know the market prices, either of
last year or this, usually about twice as
much as uplands. The demand for long
staple is probably si a t’onary, bat the. im

price. Sea island cotton is mostly used for
line sowing thread, line muslins, la.ee.-;, de.
Sawdust, Leaves, Rotten Wood, Etc.
as Manure.
S. S. Savage, Hedalek. Fla.—l am a care
ful reader of your valuable, paper, but I
am compelled to differ with you as to the
value of rotten sawdust, woods r (kings,
etc., as a fertilizer. ,\ti soils are formed
primarily by n< disintegration of rocks
and secondarily by the growth and d( cay
o'' vegetable life upon frame. Nature relies
upon the growth and d . iy of vegetable
matter to repair tho ravages of rnait niton
mother earth. Os course vegetable sub
stances differ in value :ts a fertilizer. Thus
in I.tKX) pounds of cotton S"> d there .'ire
thirty pounds of nitrogen. <>:ik sawdust
has ten pounds of tho same. Oak leaves
ton pounds, pine sawdust live pounds, cot
ton hulls seven and a. half pounds, P' .t
--vines, green, two and titre quarter pounds,
p< tvlnes, 'lr; . nineteen and t I tlf pounds.
I c'over. dr", twenty ami thu ('-quarter
! pounds, it will thus he seen that in the
valmib!" • rnent of nttrto.’.eu oak e.awndst
has one-half as much as cotton fed be
sides the potash and phosphoric aeid tl. it
It carries. This is tho theoretlc.il .-de.
Now for the 'iraetie.il I can remember

1. I'lant t.;.- U of the boll some dis-
tance from other cotton. Cotton does not
mix very readily, but It Is bent to take
such precaution when seeking to develop
something new. Bolls with six lobes or
eompartments are not common, except on
some varieties In which tho tendency to
produce, many compartments has been en
couraged by careful selection, as you pro
pose to do. We have seen bolls with as
many as ten compartments. We do not
think i here is any advantage in having
more than five.

some dandruff in mane. Please tell me
what to do.

you will use ;l sum 11 magnifying glass you
may distinguish the aearus or mange in

theroots ot' bis mane and tail. The fol
lowing Is tt good remedy; First wash tho
affected parts with soft soap and water,
using a stiff brush to remove or break
down as many of tlie scabs ami scurf
a.s possible. Boil stnvesacre seeds, one
pound to two and om -half gallons of
water for one hour. Dot it simmer for an
other hour, th- n add water to make up
the oii.'.md quantity. Apply a little of this
to th. affected parts Hep at in a week if

rub it in thoroughly. Another Is a pint

“Stringy'' milk may be caused by fungi

be safely Inferred fr tn the fact that in
