" r. FOR FARMERS ONLY. SOME TIMELY SUGGESTIONS FROM RECOGNIZED AU IHORIT Y. 110w Fariu WVork Many bo Ihuni+ I'r1 (((ably at thi Season -Vol iin Infurnr)tion on Sundry Points. Southern Culttvat,or. With thtis muonthl the cultivattionl of the main crops of the farn conluu'en ces in earnest. On niany farmus corn has already reaeved its first working and should now bo in 1a thrifty, growv iug condition. The old rule of plow ing over the crop every three weeks should not be observed, further tlai to be certain that the interval is 11eV or so long. Three weeks, as a rule,is too long an interval. If only threo Cllnpleto plOwlings are0 to ho given, it woro better to defer the lirst plOW - ing until the plants have live )1 sx leaves (if the ground has not beeun before neglected, or has not been rut together by heavy rains), and then give the remaining two plowings at intervals of two weoks. But we have found a still )etter plon to give only a partial plowing at each going over, say two furrows with a sweep, or other wide, surface cultivator, and go over the crop every week or ten days in this way. Wo have before remarkedthat when two furrows with an ordinary sweop or" sma11tller plow, are run side by sido,thto second furrow doeshbutlittlo ovorhalf work.

Tillnan:--In 4le new - paper relorts of your sheech at AiMb derson on M1Iay 10th, you are reiiorted as charging, substantially, that the department of agriculture hits lr. 1 Iuitted the farmers of South Carolina, to be defraudod in the purclase of commercial fertilizers by failure to punish manufacturers whose goods fall below their guarantees. You are further reporttd to have said that you could prove all that you charged, and quoted from the annual report of the departnm'it for the your 1886 us authority upon wich to sustain your statement. The legal ponalty in regard to de iicient fertilizers is seizure, conlem nation and sale, and because tli's penalty hats not been inflicted you deny that any other penalty hasbeeni imposed. This provision of the law cannot be enforced, for the sufliciuit reason that when the analyses are made the fertilizers have been put in the ground and are. out of reach of an action of the kind prescrilel. This defect in the law has been reported to the Legislature, and could have been amended if that body had thought it necessary or desirable. That this has not been (lone, forces mIe to thme conclusion that the rep)re mtsentative. of the people honestly be lieve that the existing laws were sulli cintIi, or that the action of the de l)a'tinuInt itsel f l1atlI ilade anendment s utillecessarv. ihile, thnrefore, we have not ci7ced andU soldl dleticient f'ertilizr.

'Ti'l k directed atten t.i_n ime'dtetltcly to tll deficie'nt brauds. It siouilt be imeiidcrstoodl, however, that the deputmuent hus never untidertakenm to 'Xe'cisci the judicial authority to declare which, if any, of suci braids were fraudultnt. 'Tiis peiat.y, vohtarily imposed by the departmnent, was, after detection, put 111)011 every brand, no matter how slight the dieficicncy. In one case this detic'iency amtoulted to only otne hiunlredti of on0 pter cent. of potasi, the chiaptest iagredient used in coiu mnerciatl fert,ilizors. The deliartmeont could not say that this was a fraud Iny Imtore tian it could oflici:tlly po nomuico other IIranids ' frnodulent where the difference was greater. Just what constitutes frau,d is aL ques tion to) ) h oeterminedl bay the courts alone. There may be a1 differenmce of opiniion as to whether mlerely explosinig the , deliciency was suflicient p)unishmllent, but thme Legislatulro ha1s so re(galrded it, because it has for teni years' failed to provide other pimlfisilunent, eveni after thme dlotfects in1 thme lw lm-t' been'i oflicially reiported. But the best evi donce of the effect of this melthod of ptmnishmnent is found in the subbse (fuent reports of the departmen&'lt. This plan (of italicising deficient brands) was first adopted in 1884. Anl examiniiation of our reports since that timei will show that there has been a steady improvemene]t in thme valume of fertilizers. It was not ex peeted Iita it would in one season1 r'esult in binfginlg every bIranId up to the guaranmteo, becauise n0w branids ale being introduced every year, anid the nium ufacturers of sticli1 brands, not hainlg real1izied the (eil'et of t his penalt.y, imighit take'risks t hat those who hmad bteen on1ce exp)oed woulId afterwar inds avoid if plossible.
