WASHINGTON LETTER.
Special Correspondence,
Interesting but conflicting re
ports are coming from Oyster Bay
regarding the extraordinary ses
sion of Congress and financial
legislation. From the . “high au
thorities” quoted it is evident
that the President himself is at
sea in his efforts to serve all in
terests. Bound by what he re
gards as a pledge, to urge the
consideration of the Cuban treaty
legislation in advance of the fi
nancial measure now being pre
pared by Senator Aldrich and his
fellow members of the sub-com-
trittee of the Senate Committee
on Finanoe, the President is be
ing subjected to such strong pres
sure from the capitalistic classes
in the east that he has been com
pelled to consider the advisability
of calling Congress in extra ses
sion even earlier than had been
anticipated, November 9. That
the President has seriously con
templated such a move is proven
by an interview Senator Aldrich
gave to the press in which he re
fers to the likelihood that Con
gress will be called to convene in
October.
No sooner was the possibility
of such an early session learned
in Washington than it was met
with the protests of the practical
politicians who say that they will
be fully oooupied wi*;h the vari
ous state elections in October
and that no member of Congress
can be spared to attend to nation
al affairs until the November
elections are disposed of. Atten
tion is called to the precarious
situation in Ohio, where the dem
ocrats give promise of acting as
one man to defeat Senator Hanna
by electing a legislature hostile
to hitn. The Secretary of Agri
culture has even promised to go
to Ohio and take the stump to
save the day for the Ohio leader
and it is appreciated that the
most energetic measures must be
taken to reooup the political for
tunes of ’ the patron of Perry
Heath, August W. Machen,
“Cliff” Loug, and other mem
bers of the “Ohio gang.”
The situation in Rhode Island
is also most alarming to the re
publicans. The democrats in
that state have made unprecedent
ed gains and bid fair to control
the legislature and all other im
portant offices. If they are suc
cessful this fall it will entirely
disrupt the republican machine
and there Will be every chance
that the legislature ejeoted a year
later will defeat Senator Aldrich,
who comes up for re-election then,
and will send a democrat to the
Senate. In the face of this
alarming state of affairs the re
publicans feel that they must
put forth every effort to save the
state and ultimately to save the
leader of the republican party in
the Senate.
There is also an important con
test on in West Virginia where
the republicans are badly divi
ded, many members, of the party
having determined that they will
np longer be represented by Sen
ator Scott, whom they appreciate
is bound hand and foot to the
great coal, iron and railway in
ter&sts of the state. Under these
conditions the regular members
of the party are being urged to
enter the state and exert their
best effort to save Scott from de
feat. These are but a few of the
problems which confront the re
publican leaders and which would
be seriously aggravated if Mr.
Roosevelt - were to call Congress
in session in advance of the elec
tions.
Larger Cotton Crops.
The practical farmer will al
ways find something to learn
from the experience of other far
mers. Thus every cotton planter
should be interested in the care
ful experiment made last year by.
Mr. B. P. Whetstone of Peaberry,
Ark.
The best way to tell what the
ootton crop needs is for the plan
ter to make a fair trial, This is
.what Mr. Whetstone did. He took
a piece of laud and divided.it.into
three email plots of the same size,
one-third of an aore eaoh.
The three plots were numbered
as plots Nos. I, 2 and 3. For the
purpose of comparison, different
kinds of fertilizing materials were
used.
On plot No. 1 no forfcili !<?r of
any kind was used.
On plot No, 2 the combination
per aore was: 600 pounds of acid
phosphate, 480 pouuds of kaiilit,
and .180 pounds of nitrate of soda.
On plot No. 8 no potash was
used, only acid phosphate and ni
trate of soda in the same amounts
as in plot No. 2.
All forms of potash should be
applied as early in the season as
possible, also acid phosphate. But
hitrate of soda is quick acting,
and should be applied as a top
dressing to the growing crops for
the best effects.
And so Mr. Whetstone spread
the kainit and aoid phosphate
over the plots on April 1st." The
cotton was planted on April 25th.
The first application of nitrate of
soda was not made until May
28th. The last application of ni
trate was made on July 10th.
The difference between the cot
ton on the three expermental
plots was noticeable quite early.
By the middle of July thexiotton
on plot 2 was pronounced the
best by the neighbors of Mr,
Whetstone who came to watch
the result of the experiment.
At the end of August tbe sec
ond growth put oii nicely, and
continued in good shape till frost
came, although the top crop did
mot amount to much.
I’he result of the experiment
can be seen in the yield from the
pints.
Th'e yield of cotton from plot 1
(no fertilizer) was 1,089 pounds
per acre.
The yield from plot 2 (which
had pUtash) was 1,575 pounds per
acre.
The yield from plot 8 (which
had aeid phosphate and nitrate of
soda, but no potash) was only 1,-
388 pounds per aore.
Thus, while there was an in
crease in the yield of cotton from
plot 8 over that from plot 1, the
best gain is found in plot 2, which
had potash. '
The experiments of Mr. Whet
stone and of many other cotton
plauters show that the cotton
crop requires potash in the fertil
izer. Cannot ,a full yield of cot-v
ton be obtained without potash?
No; that is out of the question.
No cotton planter, who knows tbe
facts, will try to grow cotton
without using a proper amount of
potash.
It is poor policy to try to save
on a plant food for the cotton
crop, and then to expect a full.
