ST. LOUIS, Mo., Nov. 6.—Col. J. B.
Killebrew of Nashville was one of the
moat conspicuous, men here In attend
ance upon the meeting of the Commis
sioners of Agriculture of the South.
The colonel was formerly commis
sioner of agriculture for Tennessee,
and he still takes a deep interest In all
matters pertaining to agricultural de
velopment He was on the programme
for an address on “Agricultural Possi
bilities of the South," and the paper he
read was highly instructive and will
prove a valuable contribution to the
commissioners' agricultural literature.
Following is the is a portion of Col.
Killebrew’* paper:
“Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of tho
Convention—Taking the 14. Southern
state—vis: Alabama, Arkansas, Flori
da, Georgia. Kentucky, Louisiana.
Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina.
South Carolina, Tennessee. Texas, Vir
ginia and West Vlrglan—they com
prise 806,985 square miles of land sur
face or 516.470,400 acreB. Deducting
the sixteen odd mUliion acres for rlv
er», town site*, roads, lakes, rough
mountainous district*, etc., it would
leave 500,000,000 acres of land surface
subject to improvement or cultivation.
The population in 1900 of these four
teen Southern states was 28,269,683, or
an average of 28 peresons to the square
mile. Of the landed surface, only
16,773,562 acres are Improved, or about
22H per cent, of the whole, or less than
one-fourth of the whole. Now on this
area Is grown almost every vegetable
product of the earth except coffee and
some of the spices. The foundation of
the matchless agricultural resources
of the South is found in it* great va
riety of soils, its happy climate and
abundant markets.
“The climate of the South is as vari
ed ns its soils. Passing from the sea
shore of Florida northwesterly, or
from the Mississippi river In Tennes
see eastward, the traveler will, so far
climatic conditions affecting veget
able life are concerned, traverse eight
een or twenty degrees of latitude. He
will go from a sub-troplcni to an Al
pine region, an the flora will indicate.
He will And plants and trees that have
their habitat in the tropics, and others
that we 'find only in the hyperborean
regions of the South. The agricultural
products of the South, whether taken
discretely or concretely, are scarcely
equalled In number or In their high
qualities by those grown in any other
country. The cotton fibre Is the most
useful grown: the tobacco has excel
lencies belonging to the tobacco grown
in no other country: the ornnges and
the peaches are the sweetest and Jucl
est: the corn is the largest In the ear
and best suited for the making of
bread; the rice Is of the highest qual
ity. and so it may be said of many
other products.
Higher Standard.
“The agriculture of the South Is
reaching a higher standard every year.
This Is shown In the greater consump
tion of fertilizers and the consequent
enrichment of the soil; In the growing
many new Held crops, fruits and
vegetables; in the more general use
improved Implements, and In the
increased Intelligence that is brought
bear on the management of the
plantations and farms. Every season
able yenr shows an increase, not only
the amount and number of farm
products, but In their yield, nnd this
has been brought about by the more
liberal use of fertilizers. The last
trustworthy data shows that 28,882,854
annually are expended for commercial
fertilisers. The poor sandy regions of
Walker, Winston and other counties In
Northwestern Alabama are now made,
to produce more cotton per acre by the
ppllcatlon of fertilizers than is pro
duced In the Black Belt of tho same
state or In the rich region around
Huntsville. Nor is cotton the only
crop which has been bencfltted. Tnko
the total production -of wheat as re
ported In the tenth census for the
Southern states, which was 51,221,992
bushels grown on 6.491.859 acres, and
it shows a yield of only eight bushels
to tho acre. During the year 1900, ac
cording to the United States depart
ment of agriculture, there was a total
production of 93,369,999 bushels In the
South grown on 7.201 570 acres, which
shows an overage yield of nearly thir
teen bushels per acre.
While the Increase in the area sown
In wheat between 1990 nnd 1900 was
only 910,211 acres, or about 12 per cent,
the Increase in quantity was 42,139.942
bushels, or 92 per cent Increase, which
may be attributed to the liberal use of
fertilizer*. Rut if we take those states
only in the South that produce surplus
namely. Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia,
West Virginia, Maryland nnd Texas,
we shall find the increase stfll more
gratifying. These states In 1979 pro
duced 41,097.942 bushels, which were
grown on 4.593,782 seres, the yield then
being R.O bushels per acre. For the
year 1900 the production of these six
Staten was 76.597.522 bushels, grown on
5,435.083 acres, showing a yield of 14
bushels per acre, which Is nearly two
bushel per acre greater than the aver
age yield for the United Rtates dur
ing that year. It will be a matter of
surprise to many to know that during
this same year Texas produced nearly
five bushels per ocre more than Penn
sylvania and nearly a bushel more per
acre than New York: eight bushel per
acre more than Minnesota; nearly three
bushels per acre more than Iowa;
nearly a bushel more per acre than
Kansas; over five bushels per acre more
than Nebraska; three times ns much
per acre as South Dakota; four times
as much as North Dakota, nnd three
bushels per acre more than Wisconsin.
It Is a great error to suppose thst the
Southern Btatel may not be made n»
productive In wheat-growing as any
other part of the United Rtatea. Only
during the present year as much as
sixty-three bushels per acre have been
made In Kentucky, and twenty-bushels
per acre are very common on the beat
lands in Tennessee. Kentnucky and
Maryland.

IxiK thin period. Between there two
periods the South increased tn popula
tion 60 per cent, and in the value of
farm products, 144 per cent Between
1£S0 and 1902 the assessed valuation
of property in the South Inoreased
from 23,051.175.098 to 15.916.060.712,
showing a gain of 94 per cent, in twen
ty-two years. The true value of all
property in the South ns estimated for
1903. is about 115.000,000.000. ,
“The quantity "of corn grown Jn the
Southern states in 1880 was 370.862,-
131 bushels produced on 23.565,843
acres, giving a yield of fifteen bushels
per aero; in 1903. there was a produc
tion of 640,095,135 bushels grown on
32,946.232 acres, givtng an average
yield of 19.4 bushels per acre. It is not
generally known that the largest yield
of corn ever made in the United States
was made In South Carolina, where
237 bushels to the acre was produced,
winning a prize offered by the Ameri
can Agriculturist.
“Another encouraging feature in
Southern agriculture is the rapid In
crease In the production of hay and
forage crops. Up to 1860 nearly all
the hay consumed in the cotton grow
ing states was raised in the Northern
states. This led to the belief that
Southern soil or the Southern climate
both were unfitted for the growing
of hay grasses. Even up to 1880. the
tonnage of hay produced In the South
ern states was small. The census of
1880 shows 1,412.964 ton*, grown on
1,716,805 acres, which was only .82 of
a ton to the acre. The crop was in
creased three fold In the Southern
states In 1890 nnd the yield had in
creased 35 per cent. In 1903, the pro
ductions wns 4,542.174 tons raised on
3.043.6S6 acres, or a yield of 1.60 tons
per acre.
“Notwithstanding the introduction
of forage crops, the oat crop has been
largely increased.
“The Southern atate* enjoy a vir
tual monopoly in the production of cot
ton one of the greatest staples known
to mankind, employing millions of op
eratives and hundreds of millions of
capital. The crop of 1903-4. amount
lug to 10,011,374 commercial bales, was
worth to the South 3617,000.000, which
Is twice as much as the entire gold
product of the world and greater than
any other one Interest In the United
States. This is the largest amount
ever received by the cotton planters
for any crop previously grown, and
the largest amount ever received for
a money crop In any country.
“It has become a serious question
among the Industrial nations of Eu
rope what will be the possibilities of
supplying n sufficient quantity of this
great staple for the world's necessi
ties. Cotton culture has been en
couraged In India. Russia. East Afri
ca, Egypt and in Houth America, but
the results have not been satisfactory.
The only place where this staple is
grown to perfection and with certainty
Is in the Southern states. What can
the Southern states do In the future
In the way of supplying the Increasing
demand for the product by all nations?
The production of cotton is limited in
the United State*, by cllmntic condi
tions. to that portion lying south of
Kentucky. The ootton belt covers
about twenty-four degrees of longitude
and ten of latitude. Tho cotton-grow
ing region constitutes about 85 per
cent, of the South’s area or 692,355
square miles. The entire nrea amounts
to 443,107,200 acres. Of this only 83,-
661,965 acres are Improved, or 18.8 per
■ “There are three ways In which the
cotton crop may be Increased:
“1. By Increased fertilization and
more intensive farming.
"2. By bringing into cultivation an
increased acreage.
*3. By employing more Intelligent
labor.
"The material for fertilisation Is
abundant nnd practically inexhaustible
in the Southern states. There are
hundred* of square mile* In Florida.
South Carolina and Tennessee In which
phosphate deposits occur. Theso phos-
phatlc rocks, form tho foundation for
the best fertilizers that are used In
the production of cotton. The free use
of acid phosphate or superphosphate
of lime, to which mny be ndded am
monia nnd potash, will double or treble
the yield of cotton; so that with tho
cotton acreage, ft* at present, of 27.-
600.000 ncres, there should lie a pro
duction, by the abundant use of fer
tilizers, of at least twenty million
bales. In the second place, of the un
improved land there could be brought
Into cultivation for cotton not les* than
80,000,000 ncres, which properly culti
vated with pnrtlal fertilization, ought
to ndd 20.000.000 bales to the present
production.
Cotton Is destined, as the world be
ccmes more nnd more civilised to fur-
nlih the greater pnrt of the clothing
for the human race, not only in Eu
rope, hut in Africa and the Orient. Mr.
Eduard Atkinson, a well-known pub
licist of Boston, and a student of the
Industrial situation of the world, thinks
that I*, would require o crop of 50,000,-
000 boles of 400 pounds each to raffle
the w*rtd’s standard of conKumptlon
to the present standard of civilized na
tions. One shirt, h« says, will do for
an Afrlcin, hut an American mechan
ic wants six, beside* bin other gar
ments. As men become more civilised,
their warts Increase and they want not
only mom. but better clothing. The
world now uses about 14,000,000 bales
of cotton per annum nnd this Is con
sumed, fer the most part, for cloth
ing the people' of civilized nations.
When the Isthmian renal shall have
been finished and when American cot
ton shall seek its best market* In Chi
na, .Japan and other Oriental coun
tries. It will be found that the present
production will not furnish one-third
of the ligltimate demand thst will be
created. In this prospect the South
has a grand future.

It seems a singular coincidence, that
the two most famous queens of the
sixteenth century, Elizabeth of Eng
land. and Mary Queen of Scots, should
each present nn enigma to the his*
torinn us to what manner of woman
each was. Because ot the tragedy of
her life, Mary of Scotland has nhvays
provoked the more romtantle interest,
while the acknowledged position of
Elizabeth ns one of the greatest sov
ereigns of modern times renders es
pecially interesting the study of her
life and character. On one hand Is
the problem ns to how good or how
bad wns Mary of Scotland; on the
other, why did Elizabeth of England
never marry7 Was nhe reaily the
chaste being which she assumed to be.
dalliance with Leicester nnd the other
lovers who followed her train? It has
been somewhat the fashion In recent
years with a certain school of histori
ans to assume that Elizabeth was
better than she should he, and that
her clnm to he the Dlnna of England
had really very little foundation in
fact.
Eight years ago, Martin Hume, well
known ns tho editor of the state papers
pertaining to the relations of Eng
land with Bpnln. published a book en
titled “The Courtships of Queen Eliza
beth." In which he took up the study
of the queen, going hack to the days
of her Infancy, when It was proposed
to betroth her to the third *on of
Francis I, of France. This proposi
tion was made by Henry VIII, just
after the birth . of the princess, but
nothing came of it. In the course of
his researches into the state papers,
both In England nnfi Spain. Mr. Hume
came upon a wealth of new material,
which threw a great deni of light upon
Queen Elizabeth's matrimonial
Jects. Thla book attrActed wide atten

tlon8, which were for political effect),
were but the solace of a great gov
erning genius woh was supremely
vain." He decides for a verdict of
not proven, on the often believed main
charge of actual Immorality,
It should be remembered that by
the time Elizabeth had become a mid
dle aged woman and was verging on
old age she was Immensely guarded
with the English people and was re-
guarded with great affection. This
sentiment would hardly have prevail
ed had she been a woman given to
loose living. (McClure, Phillips & Co.;

of the most Interesting chapters
in modem history, nnd helped to eluci
date the tortuous policy followed by
the queen and her great minister Cecil.
For It was not so much Ackleys ns
policy which made the queen Indulge
tn so many different marriage por-
It was tjit playing on one power
ngainst another, the cnjnllng of this
government with some ostensible
scheme for a marital alliance,
tempting of another power with
hope that a marriage contracted with
one of its princes would give It
strong leverage’. In It* ambitious
schemes as directed against some rival
state. All the tlmo the central pur
pose ever present In the queen's mind
was the conservation nnd protection of
England, the establishing more firm
ty of her own power, Seldom did she
lose sight of this main object, and no
matter how frlyolous or how capricious
she appeared to. be, the main object
the aggrandizement of England hi*
tory. and it way due to tho boldness,
Astuteness end activity of Elizabeth at
this time that a strong, modern Eng
land was rendered possible.
In the book referred to Mr. Hume
gave the history of these different ne
gotlatlonn and proposals of marriage,
viewing them entirely from the pollti
cal side, and considering them nnd the
methods which Ellzaboth followed In
relntlon thereto, solely from tho stand
point of her policy. He called It “the
greatest diplomatic game over played
on the world’s chess hoard," nnd be
yond question his estimate wns entire
ly Justified.
The publication of the book called
forth many letters, in which requests
were made for further Information,
especially ns to the actual relations
which existed between tne queen nnd
her successive favorites, from Leices
ter onward. Mr. Hume acknowledges
that however curious this question
may be, he did not regard It ** of Im
portance The national results of the
queen's courtships depended rather up
on the Intrigue that prompted them
than upon nny rail or feigned passion
that accompanied them. Furthermore,
ho was not engaged In a study of ths
non-political philandering* which en
gaged the attention of the queen. They
might be Interesting as elucidating
her personal chnract*r, but had Very
little to do with the political schemas
nnd projects for national aggrandise
ment Involved In the various proposals
of marriage which she received. In
other words, viewed historically. Ell
zabeth's policy, n» nffeotsd by her mar.
rlnge projects, real or assumed, are of
more consequence than any question
as to her personal morality.
The publication of o npw eqltlun of
“The Courtships of Queen Elisabeth.'
however, nnd the Interest which has
been manifested In thl* question of
Elizabeth’s persons! morality, has led
Mr. Hume to include In the new edi
tion two additional chapters which
consider this subject. In one of them
he presents the discoveries made since
the first edition was published. In the
Bpanlsh state papers, and which have
never before been brought to light
Thin material relates to an alleged son
of Elizabeth and Leicester, known as
Albert Dudley.
In these days the morality or Im
morality of Queen Elizabeth is purely
a historical question; in her own time,
as a matter around which thero
raged a fierce controversy. Her ene
mies accused her of the most wanton'
conduct, nnd tn nil the courts of
tern Europo scandals relating to her
were rift*. Those who assailed her,
carried their accusations to such n
length that they proved the Queen's
defenders, nnd raised up for her
countless friends. Mr. Hume Is con
vinced that Queen Elisabeth was as
much in love with Leicester nn It was
her nature to bo with uny man: and
consequently, if he was not her fa
vored lover no other of her suitors wns
likely to he. The relations between
them were very Intimate, and today
would be regarded ah decidedly
promising. It is not remarkable,
therefore, that rumors were set afloat
that children had been born to the
pair. “As early ns 1581, soon after
Amy Robnant’s death, when Lelces
ter'a friends were really hopeful of
carrying the catch, it wns asserted
that the Queen had been secretly mar
rlcd. nnd had tmd children previous
ly by Leicester. This statement was
repeated, particularly abroad, with
many variation*, until it became nn
article of faith with Elisabeth's oppo
nents."
With regard to this alleged son of
the Queen nnd Tjelcester. Albert Dud
ley: In 1687 Mr. Hume related,
young Englishman calling himself Al
bert Dudley, was arrested In the north
of Hpnln, In tho garb of a pilgrim, nnd
charged with being a spy. It was then
that he told his tale of being the son
of tho Queen nnd Leicester, and backed
up his allegations with a mass of cir
cumstantial evidence which seemed to
establish his claim. Whnt became of
him doen not appear. Mr. Hume re
counts the evldenco which the young
man advanced, and notes that It ac
cord* wonderfully well with certain
known facts, but nfter examining the
whole matter, he decides that the In-
ternnl evidence Is ngninst the claim,
nnd that the young man was nn Impos
tor, playing a port, for which he had
been carefully ennehed by older per
sons who knew the condition of af
fairs aqd tho Identity of certain per
sons about the English court.
"Looking, then, at the whole of the
circumstances,'' says Mr. ^lutne. "I nm
most strongly of opinion that Albert
Dudley's tale was false. If this be
so, as I contend it Is, with the most
(leaded and circumstantial nllcgntlons
of Elizabeth's having borne a child,
then the vague nnd uttely unsupport
ed rumors of a son in Venice nnd a
dozen other hazy hint* of a similar
character may be relegated to the
limbo thnt await slanderous lies with
out a shred of resl evldenco."
It must be remembered that Eliza
beth’s enemies on the continent, es
pecially among tho Catholic power*
and their allies, were bent upon her
destruction, nnd that nothing tvas too
gross to allege against the woman
whose genius maintained England *•
a protestant power nnd the bulwark
of that faith. Csthocllsm nnd Protes
tantism were political fnr more than
redgtru* question* in those day* nnd
Elizabeth was th* hulwnrk of the Int
ter. Aside from the political questions
involved. It is doubtful is she really
cored much more for the one than for
the other. It wao an attitude which
nt this day It is difficult to regard
from the viewpoint of that time.
From this story Mr. Hume preceeds
to the examination of the general ovl
denre ns to the queen's character. The
argument which ho presents la tes
long to be quoted here, but his sum
mtng up l* that there Is no truth In
the stories with reference to Elisabeth's
Immorality. The evidence is not suf
ficient. Bacon, who knew the truth,
In all probability does not believe It,
and It Is with a quotation from him
to that efTect that these additional
chapters close.
Mr. Hume points out that Queen Eliz
abeth wan not by temperament one
who would engage in Irregular rela
tionships.
“oN one can look at the best por
traits of Elizabeth without recognis
ing tn n glance thnt she was not a
sensual woman. The lean, austere face
the tight, thin Hpa, the pointed, deli
cato chin, the cold, dull eyes, tell of a
character the very rovers* of Insetvt
ous; but every feature of her count*
