MONEY IN THE BOLLS.
Cotton CI rowers arc Excited Over
Thrashing Cotton Bolls-Experiment
has Proven a Success.
The thrashing of oottou is n
question that is temporarily ab-
sorbing tlio attention of tho farm-
ing ('lenient throughout tho stato
especially in tho cotton growing
bolt. Thore are thousands of
bales of cotton in tho stato in
cracked and unopened bolls and
tho owners are just learning at
this lato hour that it will pay
them to gather theso bolls. It is
snid they can hire thorn gathered
for 85 conts per hundred pound.
Tho next thing to do is to linvo
thorn thrashed. This work is ac-
complished through the ueo of a
regular small grain thrashing ma-
chinos by removing overy othor
tooth
Quito a number of bnles of
theso bolls havo already been suc-
cessfully ginned after being thus
treated and tho farmors nro jubi-
lant ovor tho prospects of realiz-
ing several hundred dollars from
thoir cotton patches in tho future
that thoy havo heretofore lost for
lack of a method by which thoy
could gather tho cotton in tho
half open bolls.
Tho question aroso as to tho
quality of cottton that comes
from these bolls and a sample of
tho staple was submitted to a cot-
ton export and ho pronounced it
"good." Tho average woight of
bolls required to produce a llvo
hundred pound bale of lint is
about 1800 pounds.
Preparing For Cotton
Tho most favorable weather that
could oxiBt now provails through
out the cotton growing districts
of tho Southwest and it should bo
used gladly to prepare the land
thoroughly for tho coming cotton
croj). Wo cannot afford to lose
tinio. Break the laud deop at once
if a middlo burstor is used take
euro to run a subsoil plow or a
bull-tonguo deep in tho wator fur-
row before rovorsing tho old beds.
Leave tho drills one-half widor
apart than you have dono in tho
past. This does not call for crowd-
ing tho cotton in tho drill. Noith-
or boll weevil nor boll worm can
destroy a crop so easily if tho
plants havo distance. Havo good
Btrong bods four loot wido on up-
lands and six feet for bottoms.
Lot tho beds take all of tho winter
rains and freezes. Just before
planting drag theso beds on" to tho
firm moist soil and in doing this
a good seed drill is prepared while
tho rough clods help to fill the
middles and lovol the ground.
Do not robreak cotton land that
is bodded in January. Whon tho
young cotton first starts from tho
Beod it appreciates a firm foot
hold. Freshly plowed ground does
not givo this. A compact Boed bed
gives water to tho littlo roots
whon thoy nro very tender. If the
young cotton is started oil' vigor-
ously it is not subject to attack
of soro shin or lico. It throws
those things off. It does not stand
still losing threo or four weeks
bofore starting to grow. Young
cotton should not got "shanky."
If tho land is well propnred tho
young cotton stalk is stocky woll
limbed puts on its squares early
and holds them and will mature
tho crop ton days to two weeks be-
fore the samo kind of seed can do
if planted in tho wrong way.
Tho fertilizers that aro used for
cotton should not amount to more
than 250 to 800 pounds per acre
Theso can bo appliod in tho drill
at planting or just before if woll
mixed with the soil before tho
seods aro dropped. Somo planters
do thiB at one oporatson.
Early maturity is dopendont
upon : first tho seod ; second the
preparation of tho land; third
tho fertilizers usod on tho land.
Short Thinks.
Happy Now Year but'don't for-
got that it is bettor to quit with-
out swnaring about it.

The Knees of South Africa.
Andrew Carncgio with tho wiso
air ho has cultivated since ho
ceiiBod to mako steel and began
to make speeches has beon com-
menting on tho race and labor
nrobleniB of British South Africa.
He predicts that tho timo will
again como whon tho Dutch will
be the masters. Tho Dutch ho
tollB us aro increasing. Tho
English aro not. Tho Kafirs
won't work A few million of
our Americanized negroes would
he thinks help tho English out
finoly. "What would Britain
givo" ho asks "for 0000000
men as capable as lovable as 1
contend the negro ir-V"
The British masters of South
Africa might as Mr. Carnogio be-
lieves bo very glad to have tho
services of some of our negrooB.
Hut it is perfectly Hafo to say
that if thov could get them thoy
would make contracts for a
limited time and seo to it in ad-
vance that all their industrious
visitors wero provided in advance
with return trip tickets. That is
tho method that the British are
about to adopt for securing a sup-
ply of labor excopt that Chinese
coolies instead of negroes aro to
bo employed.
Leaving the labor question out
of account the future of the two
white races in the Orango Rivor
and Transvaal colonies iscortain-
ly questionable. Bel'oro the Boor
war the Orango Rivor Republic
had a population of about 78000
of whom 78000 were born in ono
or tlio other of the two Dutch re-
publics. Tho Transvaal had
about 250000 inhabitants but on
account of tho mining discovorios
a much largor proportion of them
wero of English blood. Sinco tho
war British emigration to South
Africa has not boon noarly so
rapid as tho conquorors had
hopod. High prices of living
have actod as a deterrent and it
has not boon posBiblo to induce'
Tommy Atkins to Bottlo down
whon his term was ovor evon
though very eaBy tonus havo boon
offored him for acquiring land.
Meanwhile tho big Boor families
aro growing biggor.
