PLANT ON THE LEVEL;
AND KEEP OUT OK THE GRASS !
Learn to Use the Hoe and Plow
Less They Are Too Slow and
Expensive.
We have advised our readers
to plant their crops as nearly
on the level practicable. Early
planted crops on damp soils,
especially cotton, may start otf
better and a better stand may
be obtained when planted or, a;
slight ridge, or low bed; but i
there is no need for planting;
late crops on a bed. There was
never any good sense in planting
crops on high beds to keep them
out of the water. If there is so
much water on the land or the
land is so poorly drained that
water stands in the furrows be
tween the rows for any consider
able length of time, no crop will
be made, even if it is planted on
high bed. Except to aid in get
ting a better stand and start-olf
in early-planted crops when the
weather is cool, there is nothing
pained by planting on beds. The
crops planted level do as well in
a wet year and much better in a
dry year.
Fir similar reasons and be
cause the wet season of the last 1
few months is likely to be fol
lowed by more or loss dry
weather, we advise our readers
to cultivate so aa to. as far as
possible, hold the moisture in
the land for the use of the crops.
They are likely to need this
moisture before the season is
over. Level plantinur and level
cultivation should be the rule
with all crops planted after
the weather and so:l become
warm.
It may become necessary to
run the turning plow in order to
clean it of grass, whenever this
is done or whenever it becomes
necessary, it is proof positive
that tho crop has not received
pr« per cultivation previously.
Mary a man set ks to justify the
turning plow in cultivating the
crop* bv the argument that such
is nece>sary or best in order to
kill t!;e grass, but tl.nt is no
argument at al : . except in sup-
the Reporter has been able to
secure. Slate leads in the tight
for the office of Sherilf, while
Mi tvtield is ahead in the contest
*.i,r the office of Register of
! leeds. Appended herewith is a
table showing how the vote was
cast by precincts. At several of
the precincts there were no in
structions given. There are 7:'.
delegates from the various pre
cincts entitled to vote in tile
convention, a majority of which
will nominate. After the first
I ballot all delegates will be re
leased from their instructions,
and free to vote for whom they
! please.
J port of the charge that he has
.neglected properly to prepare
his land or cultivate his crop
! after planting it. When this is
| stated, then up bobs the fellow
with the ever-ready argument
that some seasons it is impossible
to keep out the grass. It is true
that some seasons many people
get in the grass, but nine out of
ten of these are the fellows who
do not break and harrow their
land properly before planting
and depend on the hoe and the
turning-plow after planting
Ito keep down the weeds and
grass. When a man follows
' such methods he is sure to get in
the grass if the weather is at all
unfavorable.
We must learn to USL- the hoe
and plow less in cultivating our
crops. They are too slow and
expensive. The man who depends
on them gets in the grass often,
whereas, the man who prepares
his land well and uses the har
row and cultivator in the early
part of the season seldom gets
"in the grass." The Prog

Farm Manures Compared With
Commercial Fertilizers.
In comparing farm manures
with commercial fertilizers, we
realize that the nitrogen, phos
phoric acid and potash in the
former may nut be so valuable
pound for pound, but when we
take into account the vegetable
matter present and its mechan
ical effect on the soil and also
that it is applicable t> all
varieties of soil and crops, its
superiorly cannot be questioned, j
If the fertilizer and value of soils
depended mainly on the amount
of mineral matter in them, their |
fertility might remain unimpared i
for centuries to come The
mineral matter can only be ex
hausted from a soil by cropping, i
if we except small quantities of
soluble matters, which are
sometimes leached out of certain
soils. All cultivated soils lose
more or less mineral matter
through crops removed, but this
less is very slight when "com
pared to the loss of nitrogen and
organic matter, which are lost
rapidlv both by leaching and
oxidation. The lack of organic
matter is. in my judgment, the
primary cause of the low pro
ductive power of our Southern
soils. Organic matter is much
easier retained in Northern than
in Southern soils. This is main
ly owing to heat and moisture of
the South, which carries on the
decomposition more rapidly in a
warm than in a cold climate.
And since cotton culture is such
a humus- destroying process, it
renders the husbanding of this
valuable principle as perhaps the
most important process in South
ern agriculture.
A well kept manure heap may
be safely taken as one of the
surest indications of thrift and
success in farming. Neglect of
this resource causes losses which,
though vast in extent, are little
appreciated. —Prof. F. Ti. Llyod,

How Mr Farmer Can Maki* His
Wife and Himself Happy.
I would like to make a few
suggestions to the farmer as to
how he can help in big and little
ways to make his wife, as she
ought t" be. the happiest and
best contented woman »n earth.
If there is a telephone line in
reach of you, have a phone out
in your house. If there is none,
>2et together with your neighbors
and build one. It will pay you
as well as give pleasure to \ our
family.
Get to work en good roads in
your community, if you haven't
them a'ready. Then get a gentle
horse that your wife can drive
and set that it is at her disposal
at least once a week. Get a
buggy for tier to ride in instead
of having to use the old heavy
farm wagon.
Subscribe for one or two good
magazines for her.
Make hei your busnit ss part
ner and consult with her about
i verything. The chances are
she has JIM as much sense and
business judgment as you have
and she may have more.
And remember that anything
you can do t" increase your
wil'i "> health and happiness will
increase your own and that of
the whole family. Mrs. Lillian
