By PROF. R. J. H. DeLOACH. Editor’s Noto: The State College of Agriculture has lately established n professorship In “Cotton Industry,” with Prof. R. J. H. DeLoach in charqe. The standards for cotton have been made abroad in tho past, and no effort has been mado a to give to the people of Georgia, includin' tho students of the Stato College © Agriculture* an adequate conception of the cotton plant and how it may bo improved through selection. It la be lieved the establishment of this chair marks an epoch in the agricultural edu cation in this state. The following ar ticle i* published in order that those interested in the production, handling and manufacture of cotton may under stand the attempt the college is mak ing to benefit the greatest agricultural interest of the state. ATHENS, Ga., Nov. 15—The most Imposing phase of agriculture In the south la the Question of successfully growing and marketing cotton. No one can fall to see the Importance of diversified fanning and 6t southern manufacture, but other parts of the world raise many crops cheaper than we do, and it does not prove economi cal for us to raise many kinds of pro duce for mnfket. Of the 18,000,000 bales of cotton raised by all tho world, we raise IS,000,000 bales, and no dcuot. wo shall always be the great cotton growers of tho world. But In view of the fact that tho labor problem Is growing more rerlous every year, v/e must concern ourselves with some means of Improvement In our meth ods of growing cotton, by which great er results can be obtained on fewer acres. This demand Is upon U3. and we must work out the plan to meet It. Cotton mills are being built in the south more rapidly than ever before, Indicating tho ec-onomv of manufac turing goods at home. Home manufac ture will not prove economical, how ever, until we shall have made a thor ough study of the cotton plant and fiber, nnd put forth every effort to grow specific varieties for the manu facture of special commodities. Training for Cotton Culture. This department of the State Col lege of Agriculture will emphnslzo the Importance of specific training for suc cessful cotton growing. Tho Idea of more cotton on fewer acres has been talked a great deal, but no very valu able suggestions other than those of fertilisation nnd cultivation have boon made. The farmers need to Unftw Just how this can be done without adding any coat. Boys who register for this course of Instruction will have privi leges and ampin facilities, for Inves tigating: first, the principles of cot ton Improvement both by selection am breeding: second, the exact demnnds of the cotton mills: and third, relaUv- values of different varieties of long staple nnd upland cottons to supply those demands. Course of Study In Cotton Grading, Wo shall offer a courso of study In cotton grading nnd Judging so that' a student who grnduntes In the course can safely and accurately buy cotton for both mills and for merchants. Most men who buy cotton In the south now are men who have been trained only In the markets, and hence get only thoso Idens about Judging and grading that havo long been In vogue. It seems to us thnt this kind of training does not meet tho demnnds of the time, nnd hence every effort has been mnde to get a course of In struction that will enable us to save In the mills and on the farm. The buyer Is responsible for much of tho misunderstanding between the mill and the grower. Practical Helps. It Is our purpose to show the vari ation Jn the strength of fiber of the different varieties of upland nnd long staple cottons by the use of a fiber- testing machine. Nothing if of nun value to the farmer than a knowledge of the reasons why one variety of cotton Is better and Is better suited for certain purposes than nnother. Wo j usually overlook the fact that all cot- I ton products are made of many single fibers, nnd their quality depends on the qunllty of the single fiber. When ! our greatest expectations are realised, ! nnd Ideal conditions preyall, each I former will be growing cotton for a specific purpose, and will know why It fulfills that purpose. One will be growing special cotton to be sold for making sewing thread, another for making lawns, and so on through the whole list of products. Then, the use of the cotton would be determined by the grower, because ho knows Just what •ertaln varieties will make, and he knows how to keep the variety up to a certain standard. It has been found that much of the loss Incurred In the field and^nt the factory Is traceable to disease jp cot ton. nnd hence an effort will be mnde to show the Importance of selecting plants that sro most resistant to dis ease. Farmers of Stats Capable. The farmers of the state are capable of understanding and doing theso things, and now for the first time In Its history has tho State College of Agriculture undertaken to offer courses of study leading to such work. It Is evident that education In Geor gia has led away from, Instead of to the farm, heretofore, and fargefy be cause the boys learn more about other read at the union cohference of tho Congregational churches of Boston and vicinity, the Rev.

"I find.” he said, “flfty-slx churches j p f aC | t t*,ey seem to get the Idea which bqast of a single child each for that everything is a profession or a last year, and sixty-three which re ported twins each.” His figures allowed twenty-three churches which, with a combined mem bership of 7,494. with 7.276 in tho Bum into the kingdom of (lod. "Congregational families,” he said, "have ceased to'perpetuate themtolves. The days when the family came to church and filled one or two pews, as In our youth, are gone, and in their place we look In vain for the children In the church or In the home. “The Catholic church has a great army of children coming up each yoar, native born, and the priest knows Just what he can count upon for confirma tion each year and he knows that next year there will be just as large a crop to harvest "I have no doubt that,- things being equal. If there were as many children born lu Congregational as In Catholic families, we would today witness as great a proportionate native growth and front the future with a calm faco. •’When the Puritan stock commits race suicide the Puritan church must aIko follow the path of Involuntary barlkart” Bllous?

Tn an entertaining article on the Spaniards scorn for the fore’gner and his little Indulgence In International marrfage*. attention h*s been drawn to the curious fact that In the days when the Spaniards warred against their conquerors, the Moors, It wss the custom of the Spanish kings to confer hereditary nobility on the pop- ul.it Ions, en masse, of towns, cities and even provinces, which had made nota bly excellent stands against the con quering Moslems. As a result of th;s rather eccentric course of conduct. It Is surprising that, down td this day, every Spaniard believes - himself de scended from the nobility*. MUNSON TALKS OF PROSPECTS PRESENT RAILROAD CONDITIONS DISCUSSED*BY VICE PRESIDENT OF THE GEORGIA SOUTHERN AND FLORIDA. Vice President and General Manager J. B. Munson of the Georgia South ern and Florida railway Is optimistic over the business outlook for the com ing winter season. "Just now,“ he says, “the trade Is not as heavy as it might be, but It H picking up steadily, and will improve ■till more when the saw mills through, out the state commence operations. There is at present a dearth of lumber shipments. However, one of the most encouraging signs is the large number of inquiries received dally from all classes of trade, and from these vre Judge that there will be a marked In crease In the freight traffic within the next sixty days. “The GeOV-gla Southern and Florida Is handling a great deal of the orange and fruit shipments from Florida, this service necessitating tho recent put ting on of new and Improved sened- ules. We are doing everything pos sible to rush the shipments north. A freight now- leaves Jacksonville every morning at 10:30 o'clock, arriving In Macon at 3:30 o'clock the following morning, tho trip requiring seventeen hours. This Is one of tho fastest freight train schedules now In opera tion anywhere In the »:outh, and Is ono greatly appreciated by the fruit and Vegetable growers of Florida. ‘ "1 am glad to say that business with the Georgia Southern and Florida while not heavy or exceedingly .good, has been sufficient to warrant the re employment of about fifty men, and that the shops have resumed their usual working basin. No new con structive work Is progress, but much repairing, wherever It Is needed. Is be. lng don* all along the line. The roll ing stock—engines, freight cars and passenger coaches—are In tip-top shape anfl arc constantly augmented and im proved." Mr. Munson looks with Interest on tho contemplated extensions of the Georgia anti Florida and of other roads within tho stato.
