Treat all unoccupied ground the same way. j We fully realize that all farm- ers have not the force to carry out all of these suggestions; but they should come as near doing it as possible. Those who do will be the gainers in proportion to their ability .to meet these requirements. Fine Crop Prospects Never do we remember of the fertil soils of this part of the State being more thoroughly sat- urated with moisture at this season of the year than at the present time. The precipitation since Friday evening has averag- ed about four inches; and to make a good thing still better it remained cloudy for five days and nights giving the water an opportunity to all soak into the ground of well cultivated fields as well as to prevent rust of wheat and oats. Although we had nearly three weeks of very dry atmosphere hard winds and scorching sun shine to pump vast quantities of the water out of the ground especially where not kept clean of weeds and sufficiently stirred to keep a soil-mulch of some three inches on the surface the season so far has been almost an ideal one inasmuch as it has given the industrious farmers an opportunity to prepare a good Beed-bed get the seed in the ground and keep it thoroughly cultivated and clean. Therefore with the exception of the wheat and oats harvest the late rains found crops generally in fine condition for it and the great benefit largely exceeds what lit- tie damage may have been done to the small grain. Now aB an expert in these matters having delved deep into their fundamentals and de- tails we desire to offer a few suggestions to the farmers gen- erally viz: Do everything in your power to save this moisture you will need it before the season is over. Start your cultivators just as soon as the surface of the ground is dry enough to pulverize nicely. Get over it as soon as you can without injury to yourselves and eams and then do your resting afterwards if possible. If rain does not come again within ten days go over it again immediately. If rain does come repeat the ' operation and as often as it comes. Keep up this method of culti- vation until your crops are ma- 15 Cent Cotton The Southern States Cotton Cor- poration is contracting Cotton at 15 cents. See their representa- tive. H. P.
