FARMER AM) PLANTER
ORIGIN OF COTTON SUPPLY.
The United States in No I>an|ter of
IjOaIiik Its Commanding
Position.
An elaborate discussion of the world’s
cotton production in 1905, contained in
the final report just issued by the cen
sus bureau, goes to show that the Unit
ed States is in no danger of losing its
commanding place as the origin of sup
ply.
It is made very clear that the possi
bilities for increasing the production
are as great in the United States as in
India, in Central and South America,
and greater than in Egypt. This start
ling statement is made concerning the
available cotton acreage in our cotton
growing region:
“The total area of the present cotton
producing region of the I'nited States is
estimated at 700,000 square miles, or
448,000,000 acres. Of this, only about
one acre in every 17 was given to cot
ton in 1905. Were this proportion
raised to five acres in every 17, it would
mean a crop of more than 50,000,000
bales at the present rate of production.
The increase in the amount of cotton
grown in this country does not depend
so much on an increase in the acreage
planted as on seed selection, fertiliza
tion and the manner in which the crop
is cultivated.
“The cotton grower has discovered
that he can most easily and profitably
secure increased production by improved
methods of farming—that is, by crop
rotation and better culture—than by an
increase in the acreage. What the re
sult would be were the maximum acre
age devoted to cotton, and the best
cultured methods employed, must re
main a matter of conjecture. An av
erage of one bale to the acre is not an
impossible achievement, and at that
rate the cotton-growing states to the
south are capable of producing many
times the present yield.”
The evil of American cotton produc
ers, says the report, is bad baling. The
Egyptian and Indian hales are pointed
out as much better. It is explained,
however, that reform of this lack here
will be exceedingly difficult because the
United States cotton is cultivated on
about 1,500,000 farms distributed over
a very wide area, and ginned in more
than 29,000 establishments.
The varying local conditions and wide
expanse of country render it difficult,
if not impossible, to introduce any uni
form system of baling, and especially
one requiring heavy presses.
The idea of a cylindrical bale, which
has found some favor, is discouraged
by the census bureau. Scores of in
ventions for baling cotton in cylindrical
form have been made during the past
decade, but only two have been put
into practical operation. One of these
is the Bessonette, or roundlap system,
and the other, the Lowry. The hales
turned out by these presses are about
22 inches in diameter and 35 in length,
and average about 250 pounds in
weight.
These packages are kept in shape by
the cohesion of fibers and layers, and
require no iron bands. The cylindrical
bale has not proved entirely satisfac
tory, and the tendency at this time is
toward an improvement in the square
bale, many believing that the density
of that package may be so increased
as to avoid the present necessity of re
compression. Experiments are now be
ing carried on with inventions promis
ing this result.—Census Bulletin.
DOUBLING THE COTTON CROP.
KOt By InereanisiK the Aerense But
By Improving* the l'lnut
ami Staple.
So'rne very startling results have
been achieved by the department of
agriculture in improving American cot
ton. With the cotton crop of the Unit
ed States reaching an annual value of
nearly 8G()0,00O,0u0, it is easy to see
that the man who can make it worth
four or five cents a pound more to the
grower will put a few dollars of spend
ing money into the pockets of the
southern planters.
This improvement of the crop has
been realized, and there appears no
reason why in ten years from now the
whole of the cotton belt should not be
growing a longer staple cotton worth
on the average of four and one-half
cents a pound more than the present
crop. Of course, this millenial condi
tion of things will not be altogether
realized. That there will be a decided
and general advance in the value of
the crop as the result of work already
done by the agricultural department is
certain. But there are always the fac
tors of ignorance, indifference and prej
udice to be reckoned with, and that
will hold down the grand total of the
advance.
This is human nature. Otherwise
every one would be raising thorough
bred stock, cats, and chickens, which
cost no more to feed and rear them than
scrubs, but everyone does not breed
thoroughbreds, whether they be dogs
or cows, and so it is a certainty that
when the average of the cotton crop
is vastly improved by the use of bet
ter seed there will be a large number
of planters who are sticking to the old
methods and complaining because they
find it hard to make a living
The department of agriculture has
however, by several years of perlstent
work, bred from the old varieties of
cotton raised in the south several new
strains of cotton that, while having all
the desirable qualities of the old types,
produce a staple that is almost a half
longer. It is just one branch of the
general industry of plant breeding, and
the result, aa shown by the cotton itself
combed out in fleecy whiteness on a
black card is a striking object lesson
in the possibilities of plant breeding.
The department, in the course of its
experiments, has handled thousands of
samples and hundreds of thousands of
individual plants in making the seleo
lions that are now considered good
enough to be sent out as new fixed
types.
Outsiders do not realize that an
eighth of an inch on the length of the
fiber in a cotton boll means a cent a
pound additional on the value of the
crop. Now by careful breeding and se
lection the department of agriculture
has produced cotton that runs from
three-quarters of an inch to an inch and
a quarter longer than the parent plants
from which it was produced.
The farmers at large can help great
ly In keeping up the work that has
been given a practical start by the de
partment in all of Its plant-breeding
work. There are simple methods of
seed selection that will insure a steady
improvement in each successive crop,
and that will prevent the crops from
deteriorating. The selection of seed
takes a little care and intelligence, but
it is not deeply abtruse work, and the
department has reduced it to simple
directions that ate easy for any planter
to follow.—Agricultural Department
Bulletin.
IMMIGRATION.
Sonic of tlio lteasons Why flip Tide
of Immigration Should Be
Turned Southward.
We are heartily in favor of turning
tile tide of immigration southward, and
while “we may be thought to be
wrong,” we give the foilowinv “reasons
for the faith that is within us:”
1. We want more labor in the south,
and immigration furnishes the quickest
way of securing an adequate supply to
develop our varied resources.
2. The more people we have—the
better roads—more churches and
schools—the better all our social advan
tages in the country.
3. The more people—the better mar
ket we have for all our production. One
hundred people will give you 100
chances to make a sale; 1,000 people
swiftly increases your chances up to
1,000.
4. The southern states can amply
support 1,500 population to the square
mile, and we do not average 30. Hence
it will take one thousand years to reach
our capacity.
5. Increased population means in
creased land values, and a farmer is no
poorer with only 100 acres of land
worth $10,000 than he would he -with
1,000 acres of land worth only $10,000.
C. These immigrants will help to di
versify our farming and increase our
resources.
7. We have both the power and the
laws to control as many as can come
within our gates, and we can assimilate
several hundred thousand a year, with
out any great shock to our social sys
tem.
8. We have nothing against the ne
gro—we wish him well—hut we want
to see the white race in the south 100
to 1. This will be the best solution
of the much-discussed race problem.
9. Our country has been settled by
immigration, and we can see no valid
reason for denying to othersr those priv
ileges that our forefathers enjoyed, and
which now mean so much to us.
10. These foreigners can not get our
lands without paying us for them. So
we will not be robbed. It is true they
can make more out of the land than
we are making: but they will be a stim
ulus to us in this respect.
We could give hundreds of instances
showing the value of immigration; but
will content ourselves with one that
comes under our observation to-day. A
Greek came by our little farm, and see
ing our vineyard he stopped to talk
with us. We learned that he was a
merchant in Atlanta, and was interest
ed in a store with his brother in Al
bany, Ga.; but he had just purchased 50
acres of land near us for $4,250, and
was going to put it in grapes. He
said he would bring another brother
from Greece to stay on the farm. We
asked him how he would plant his
grapes. He replied; “In six-foot rows,
three feet apart; would prune them so
as to have a large vine about two feet
high, with four branches cut back to
three feet. Would not have any stakes
or trellis,” and he added that he would
raise many more grapes to the acre
than we would, which no doubt is true;
so we say, let the Greeks come, and
any other nationality who will intel
ligently till our soil, develop our mines
or run our factories.—Southern Culti
vator.
HERE AND THERE.
—The evergreen variety of broom
corn is the most popular in the broom
corn district. It will thrive where com
or sorghum will. It will resist drought,
better than corn. A rich, loamy soil
is its delight.
—The North Carolina experiment
station has been experimenting on the
yield of corn. Row's three and a halt
feet apart, corn stalks four feet apart
in rows produced 24.7 bushels per
acre. Rows four by four feet produced
22.8 bushels per acre.
—If the reader is extending his farm
fencing, if he will turn the top of tree
downward when he sets his posts in
the ground, such posts will last twice
as long as posts set like they grew.
The posts thus reversed have not the
poWier of absorbing the water.
—In planting grasses for pasture the
quantity of roots to the natural plant
is a question for consideration. The
roots that endure the tramping of stock
will make the most durable pasture.
The greater the number of seed or va
riety the better the pastuage.
—The sale of many thousands of
acres of school lands in west Texas in
duced farmers to try their luck in the
cattle country. Favorable seasons for
the past three years showed to the ad
vantage of the w'estern section, and
owners of large areas of land in use
as pastures were induced to part with
holdings to be cut into farms and
colonized.

A WOMAN’S ORDEAL
DREADS DOCTOR’S QUESTIONS
Thousands Write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn,
Mass., and Receive Valuable Advice
Absolutely Confidential and Free
There can be no more terrible ordeal
to a delicate, sensitive, refined woman
than to be obliged to answer certain
questions in regard to her private ills,
even when those questions are asked
by her family physician, and many
continue to suffer rather than submit
to examinations which so many physi
cians propose in order to intelligently
treat the disease; and this is the rea
son why so many physicians fail to
cure female disease.
This is also the reason why thousands
upon thousands of women are corre
sponding with Mrs Pinkham. daughter
in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass. To her they can confide every
detail of their illness, and from her
great knowledge, obtained from years
of experience in treating female ills,
Mrs. Pinkham can advise sick women
more wisely than the local physician.
Read how Mrs. Pinkham helped Mrs.T.
C.Willadsen of Manning,la. She writes;
Dear Mrs. Pinkham;
“ I can truly say that you have saved my
life, and I cannot express my gratitude in
words. Before I wrote to you telling you
how I felt, I had doctored for over two years
steady, and spent lots of money in medicines
besides, but it all failed to do me any good. I
had female trouble and would daily have faint
ing spells, backache, bearing-flown pains, and
my monthly periods were very irregular and
finally ceased. I wrote to you for your ad
vice and received a letter full of instructions
1'ust what to do. and also commenced to take
jydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound,
and I have been restored to perfect health.
Had it not been for you I would have been
in my grave to-day.”

that no medicine in the world equals

NO KOWTOWING FOR HIM.
Hotel Man Who Was Not to Be Over
awed by Dignitaries of
State.
They tell this one on former Gov.
George Hoadly of Ohio:
Once upon a time, in the midst of a
campaign, Mr. Hoadly was to deliver
a speech at a little town in the great
and glorious Buckeye State. When he
reached the one hotel the town boast
ed he walked up to the register and
wrote his name. The proprietor-head
porter-steward-headwaiter-depot - run
ner was behind the desk in his shirt
sleeves, his hat on the back of his
head, and a cigar stump held between
his teeth. When the visitor had put
down his John Hancock, the factotum
turned the register around, read with
out the flicker of an eyelid the name
there written, wrote “10” beside it
with a lead pencil, and said:
“You kin jest take yer grip right up
that stairway there an' back down the
hall clean to th' end. Yer room’s right
on th’ left hand side of th' hall, in th'
corner—number 10.”
With considerable astonishment and
not a little injured dignity Ohio’s chief
executive pointed to his name, smiled
faintly, and said:
“I am George Hoadly.”
"Yep: I notice,” said the rustic
without turning a hair. “An' yer
room’s right there at th’ end of th’
hall—number 10. Can't miss it.”
With more hauteur, and almost
quivering with outraged importance,
the guest said impressively:
“i am George Hoadly, governor of
the state of Ohio!”
Turning, then, with a look of ex
asperated impatience on his face, the
hotel man exclaimed:
"Well, what d’ye expect me t’ do—
kiss ye?”—Judge.
SCIENTIFIC SPECIALS.
Prof. Classen, of Aix-la-Chapelle, ha3
brought out a process of making alco
hol from sawdust. The cellulose is
treated with gaseous sulphuric acid,
and glucose formed, and is converted
into alcohol by fermentation. A ton
of sawdust yields about 50 gallons of
crude alcohol or 25 gallons of absolute
alcohol. It is expected, however, that
in time ,10 gallons or more will be ob
tained.
Prof. Behring, who claims to have
discovered an effective treatment
against tuberculosis, is the discoverer
of the serum treatment of diphtheria
Four years ago he shared the Nobel
price of $40,000 with Dr. Roux, of the
Pasteur institute, of Paris. He is
also a professor of the Berlin univer
sity and has for years pursued his ex
periments on an estate of his own of
about 1,000 acres near Marburg. The
number of animals of all sizes that
have passed through his hands on this
property is simply enormous.
The new alchemy assumes that ele
ments of great atomic weight break up
into substances of lighter atoms, but
thus far the only transmutations ob
served have been the changes of radium
and actinium into an emanation, of
which about seven per cent, seems to
form helium. What becomes of the re
maining 93 per cent, of the emanation
is not yet proven, although there are
reasons for believing that lead is a
part of the product. In the atomic dis
integration the energy given out far
surpasses all previous experience, and
it is estimated that if a fragment of
radium could be made to complete its
change instantaneously, the result
would be an explosion millions of
times more terrific than of gun cotton.
