Hold Cotton Until Mills Need it.
The greatest good that can. be
done now is for everyone to talk
of the value of cotton,; and to
strain eyery nerve, even to the
point of discomfort,: to hold on
to this valuable product of our
soil and toil until the world calls
for it again. We will find that
when peace is declared - cotton
will be in such demand that all
the surplus we may-be holding
will be in demand at prices" that
will make us sick if we have-let
it get into the hands 4 of the spec
ulators. ' - :
Many have asked me what
good have these meetings done?
My answer is they are Trestoririg
confidence, they are T showing our
people the absolute folly of panic.
And in the meantime before cot
ton comes in much - volume i, the
plan will be matured to retire ail
that the spinners' will not take at
a profit. WecannoEfio our coun
try greater harm than by repeat
ing and dwelling 'on low price
talk; and next tothe. open mar

than to look and speak cheerful

Oats and Crimson : Glover for Hay.
. Do oats and -crimson clover
sowed together make a good hay
crop? , -
"2. Is it better to turn under
green peas and then sow the oats
and crimson clover, or remove
the peas for hay ? .
1. Oats, and crimson clover
make7good hay and the combina
tion is a fairly satisfactory one,
but there' are some objections.
The oats are not as far advanced
as most people think they should
be when the crimson clover is at
its best stage of maturity for ma
king hay. While the turf oat is
probably abetter hay oat than
the Red Rust-proof varieties, be
cause it grows taller and the
straw is not so coarse, yet the
Red v Rust-proof matures about
two weeks earlier than the turf
oat and for that reason should be
used when oats and crimson clo
ver are sowed together for hay.
We would cut the combination
for hay' when the crimson clover
was in proper condition for ma
king, hay, rregardless of the stage
of maturity of the oats, if the
crimson clover makes up any con
siderable part of the mixture.
Crimson - clover does not. do so
well, in such a . combination Las
when sowed: aloner nor as well as
vetch, and for that reason -most
people prefer to sow it alone'
2. The land will be benefitted
more by ! turning the owpeas
under, ; but since f eed' is,liicelyto
be scarce and the cowpea .roots
and stubblp are likely to leave a
considerable amount of t nitrogen
in the soil, we think we . would,
as-a general rule, prefer to; cut
the cowpeas for hay, unless the
land Js quite poor,- - If the land is
very deficient in humus and. ni
trogen: it may pay better to plaw
the peas under. The Progress-
