HOW TO INCREASE COTTON PRODUCTION
By F. J. MEBBIAM, Editor Southern Kuralist.
ANOTHER short crop, with the pries
of the fleecy staple constantly ad
vancing, brings the Question home
to every southern farmer. "Mow can I
Increase my crop next year?"
The past season saw very nearly the
limit reached s o far as acreage is con
cerned. Our farmers planted all they
could, and many of them more than they ■
could cultivate properly. ]n spite of Che
Increase in acreage, however, the crop
Is shorter than last year. The boll wee
vil. a late spring, summer drought, and an
early frost have contributed to cut down
the yield. The supply is not equal to
the increasing demand, and we do not
know that it will be next year. Clearly,
a still further Increased acreage will not
do It. Furthermore, we cannot greatly
Increase «he acreage, if we. would, for we
have not the labor with which to do the
work.
The only sure way to increase the size )
of the cotton crop in 1904 Is tn increase I
the yield per acre; and we can do this j
by ortte.r preparation of this land and i
an increased use of fertilizer. You can j
begin this preparation now. Start your '
p ows whenever the lend is dry enough I
to work, and it does not have to be quit*; ■
dry now as .t does in the spring, if
you have a big team and a disc plow,
pat It to work breaking your land broad
■ ast. If you ate limited to one horse,
bed out our land as deeply as possible j
nil then robed It next spring before you |
, .mt Tills winter work will help you to i
.. • vour land Into better shape in the !
pr;t:g. It will also enable you to prepare 1
■ tore land, and plant it earlier. Every |
otton grower knows that if he can get
:. crop started early ho stands a much
; iter chance to make a good crop.
It is a good plan, where land i.- btokca
i ti e tall or winter with a big plow,
ti work It up well on the surface in I
'< spring with a cutaway or disc har
w followed with a smoothing hatrow I
drag. Then lay off your rows the
. d width and plant your cotton In (
furrow, covering it lightly. By
tmg tn thy furrow the alter ctlltiva
* . n . tin be kept more level, and tilfc
.* viil stand drought better.

I‘crsonnlly we believe that largo crops
nr cotton. :is well ns other crops, should
)>e grown by making tho whole land rich
through a systematic rotation in which
leguminous crops find their regular place.
It would be folly to abandon such a ro- [
tation In order to plant more cotton. |
for fertility of the land must, always be ,
of first importance to tho successful ;
’".rmer. In this article, however, we are r
trying to point out how best to increase ■
mxt season’s cotton crop, and must I
take the land as wo find It. While it ;
Is undoubtedly better fanning to first I
build up the land in order to make a big |
crop, still, this takes time, for whi h ■
in the present instance, we cannot emt. ■
An increas** in the amount of fertilizer |
used per acre will Increase the crop, we I
know, for wo have tried It. V. e also -
know that it will yield a handsome mar
gin of profit. In 1000 we made, with 200
pounds of fertilizer per acre, 375 pounds
of lint cotton, while where wc applied
600 pounds of fertilizer per aero we mad
500 pounds of lint Here 300 pounds of
additional fertilizer made an increase ;
of 125 pounds of lint cotton, which I-- ■
worth at present prices about sls. It
will cost no more to cultivate an acre [
whore the larger amount of fertilizer is ■
used. It gives a much larger margin ot
profit and is In our opinion the most
practical way to Increase the crop If ;
you will look around wo think you Will I
admit that the farmers w'lio prepared
their land best and used the most f* r ,
tilizcr made tho most cotton the past
Now, if wo are going to use more far- i
tilizcr w,* want it to bring us tho host '
possible results, and to this end wc must .
use care it, applying It Open a furrow
6 Inches do'p, and put tho fertilizer in
the ground and*-r th*' **'-'d. where there
will be plenty of moisture to dissolve It. .
Be onn'ful that it does not come tn di- j
rei t contact with the s* id, as It will *o
likely to injure them Where a large
quantity of fertilizer Is used t Is best .
to mix it with tlm soil by running
through the furrow with a scooter \\ n
must also be careful that it does not
blow away, and when applying by hand,
should us*' a tin guano horn Thorc ar**
itlso scvern.l excellent horso fertilizer
drills on the market which will apply
tho fertilizer more evenly than can be
dono by hand.
Whi'thcr you plant your cotton in tho
furrow or on tho bed, bo sure vour land
Is broken deeply ami p*it in good ph\.' : ie.tl
condition so it will retain moisture.
Blunts tako up all their food In a liquid
form, and wo must have water to make |
tho fertilizer soluble Much can also bo
done to aid the soli In retaining moisture
by keeping the crust broken, ami a tine
earth mulch on tho surface, thus p:e- |
venting evaporation. This after cultlva- j
tion is Just ns important as tlio pt,-pata- |
tlon Wo must lo.irn tn cultivate our
crops to make them grow and not simply
to kill grass.
W«* will make morn cotton by pl mt:: g
only what w, can fertilize ami eultiv.'ite
properly than by trying to increase the

But the I’nited States are more an I
more consuming Its own cotton :iupp f y
in 1893-4. with between 15,000 000 uni
16.000,000 spindles, nearly 2,500.000 lb:
were consumed in the states. Now. wh'.
20.000.000 spin'll*--- working, th*' eonsr.mp
tlon has risen to over four million hales;
and the report for 1904 which has caused
the present panic in New York estimates
the crop at under ten milli m bah - <* r
remedy is obvious—to promote the cum ,
vation of cotton In our colonies ami *1 -
pendencl<s. Th** information that has
been collected by the British Cott .*
Growing Association is most encouraging
In the report of the first year * work
of the association it is stated that there
is an unllmit <1 area of land in Oar eMo
nies and dependencies suitable for 1‘ c
growth of cotton of various varietb-s. In
the past we have neglected the raw m : !
terin! in tho hurry to produce tho matin- ‘
faetured article. In India the various i
classes of cotton are often mixed and (
the quality has greatl.v d-'torioratcil. The ,
British Cotton Growing Association, in ,
a correspondence with the secretary of .
state for India, laid particular stress upon
tho necessity of a complete survey of tho j
existing cottons of Indi ), although the re- j
port of J W. Molllson, inspector generil
of agriculture, goes some way tow n I i
doinir what the government of India .
should have done thirty years ago. There ■
are millions of acres In the north suit- ■
able tor cotton growing If only sufficient i
labor were obtainable —a somewhat hope- i
less situation in view ot tin? present pol- ;
ley of the labor party.
In British Guiana, until th>> mi.idle of
last century, there weie 400 cotton es
tates, exporting 10.000.000 pounds an- j
nually. in the Leeward Islam s, the
governor. Sir Gerald Strickland, ’h en
deavored to arrange with the colonial I
bank and with the Cotton Growers’ As- I
soclatlon for a system of loans on stri.-t
--ly commercial lines. There is land quite j
suitable for cotton going out of cultiva
tion and it is hoped that much may bo
reclaim* d. The West Indies generally
were once our principal source of supply
until sugar growing took tho place of
cotton. In rjgypt. which, tn American
opinion, is al**ne capable of competing .
with the southern states, the complexion !
of the great barrage will be of th, giant- I
cst value to cotton growers. In Nig - i
ria, where progress has been retarded
by tho recent hostilities, and the want i
of a railway from Niger to Kano, cotton
has been grown fop 1,050 years, and the
people understand its cultivation. The
most encouraging report comes from
Lagos. There is no labor question. Mr.
Hoffman stated in a recent report that
the natives take an intense interest in |
.anything tlist would make their farms ,
more profitable. It is well to recall the
fact that during the cotton famine of
1861-5 Lagos produced large quantities
of cotton. It Is now again becoming a
settled industry. In the welter of man
ufacturing prosperity through which this
country passed in the middle of the nine
teenth century such minor questions as
the unfilled regions of our mighty pos
s- ssions, with all their infinite potential
ities, were naturally forgotten. It is
to be hoped that it is not too late now,
when that prosperity is threatened with
a period of decline.

FUNDS HAVE 'ACCUMULATED
New York. December 26.—The New
York Financier says this week:
“The striking feature of the official !
statement of the Now York associated
ranks last week w.-ts the increase of sl3,- I
522,600 ,n loans. '1 his was notable chiefly I
bi'c.msi- of th" fa"t that loan expaiisioii
ir. the last weeks of the year Is quite !
unusual, the banks generally being in ■
no condition to extend liberal aceomtno- :
dation to borrowers until after the turn i
ot the new year. The < xc*;Uent reserve !
condition of the institutions in the pre- ‘
vious week and the accumulation of funds :
■ a tjie banks in anticipation of the dis- :
bursement of interest and dividends im
mediately al'lei' tlie beginning of th*' year, 1
doubtless encouraged liberal lending,
which will account for the above noted '
increase. Cash reserves increased ftie :
net amount ot $2,957,800, the spec), gain
being $3,264,800, while the legal lender |
less was $307,000. The increase in spee.e
largely reflected payments for imported i
gout during the week. The deposits wetc '
acgmenieu $17,634,/00. or $1,154,300 ir,
excess of tli*' t* tai of the gains In loans t
ami in cash; hence the statement showed
a good balance. The required reserve
was nu-reused through the h.-gh* r deposits
:.y $4,408.6/5. Deducting therefrom the
net gain in cash leaves $1,450,875 as the .
<1,1.1-ea.-e in surplus reserve to 512.574.625.
Calculated upon the basis of deposits,
less those of $36,849,800 public funus; the
surplus is $21,786,950. The statement was
doubtless macle on rising averages tor
cash, there having been paid by the as- ;
say office on Friday $1,250,000,' in addi
tion to tiie amount disbursed for the
week's assay of bullion, this amount rep
resenting balances due on previous as
says, the aoove named sum counted for
"fly one day. or one-fifth of the amount
in the statement. The dally averages
lor tin- clearings for the live days was
3201.000,000, against $197,000,000 .n the;
previous week, indicating increased busi
ness in the commercial markets and some I
ol the changes Incident to the close of
th. year. The clearings on Saturday, i
representing Thursday's transactions, :
were $236,674,721. or much above tlie i
average. One minor feature of the state
rn'nt was a decrease of $731,700 in cir I
eulatdou. The loans were in ex<k-s of
the deposits by $2 .344,100, comparisiong
of loans show that nine of the largest
banks increased tb.s item by $12,200,000
Seven of these institutions gained $2,400.-
000 net in cash.”
The statement of the clearing house
banks of the city for the five days of
this week shows tho following changes-
Loans $892,242,800; Increase $13,522 600
Deposits, $865,918,700; increase $17,-

THE PASSING THRONG,
Walter C. Hartridge, of Savannah, has
! just ret med to America from the Is
land of Yap, where lie went for the pur
’ pose of winding up the estate of the bate
King O’Keefe, who was at one time a
resident of Savannah, and whose ’’idow
; now resides there, but who secured con
; tr<>] of the island of Y ip, and made al
i most a principality of it. Columns have
' been w'ritten about King O'Keefe and his
■ story is well known.
I’pon his return to Savannah Mr. Ilart
' ridge W’as prevailed upon to deliver a
lecture upon “Observations in the Far
East." which ho did last Friday evening.
: He was Introduced to a large audience in
tho Catholic library hall by Bishop Kel
ley, of Savannah, who referred to him as
i “the genieman who has but recently re
turned from the land of romance, inys
i tery and bigamy.”
In describing Yap Mr. Hartridge
' said;
"About 1.700 miles almost due oast "f
: the southern end of Mindanoa, ami of
tho Philippine archipelago, lies a small
island .about twenty miles long and tour
' miles will*-. A coral reef surrounds it
with an entrain'*' large enough to afford
passage to vessels about the size of the
sieamslilp city of Savannah. White
breakers, throwing their crests high In
tlie air, mark the presence of this reef.
"But tlie island itself can lie seen for
miles at so.i. as down its center rims a
range of hills, high enough to be dis
tinguished some distance away. Tnsidn
1 the t'-ef Is a semi-circular bay in which
two or throe little islets nest. Around
: this bay on both sirb s th" mother Island
ex'tonds le r arms. This Is Yap."
Thon followed a brief but comprel:cnsfvo
. d*'s Tlptlon of tho Yap men and their
habits. There c*iC":i is used Inst*-id of
money, all menev ami liquor being pro
hibited tie natives Th*' chiefs order as
many co*'O nuts as they desire brought to
< tlu lr principal houses, and from that
' plaee they are collected by trade
j boats at regular Intervals. Continuing
i the sjieaker said;
1 "The government nf Yap consists of
; a governor, surgeon, chief of police, com
: mandant of the fort, and a. postmaster
' general. These last throe officers are
I combined in the person of on*' gentleman.
The garrison consists of twenty Yap
| men, with a sergeant and corporal. Tholr
uniform consists of a band of red flannel
: about two feet wide hanging from the
I waist.
1 "The natives are similar to the Kan.-i
--; kas found all through the islands of tho
J’.o'lfie. save that they look the stature
1 ainl comeli.i' ss of tho Hamlians Tho na
’ live costume worn in Yap is very much
.o' Kipling ,5 ■■lilies Fuzzy-M uzzy. 'N*>t.h
--i ing much before and little less than ’art
i of that, behind.’
For tlm women It consists of native
grass, hung to a string tied around her
: waist, the grasp r*su‘bing down to b* r
knees. To her changes in fa hlon mein
nothing, as she wears naught but tills
costume. At times she wears also an
I amiable smile.
The man’s costume Is of the same char
: .1* ter. save that it does not hang th" same
i length, because the grass of which it Is
; made Is. cut shorter for tin? men. A chief
: >f hlfth dlguii.v ilispiTis*.? with th" grass
uml substitutes a ]>>.■*■*' of red flannel.
"The hair of both sexes Is coal black
, and busby, nit kink* and yet not *x
i aetly s'ralght. Th' ni"n wear theirs
, looped up somewhat in the fashion that
i prevailed among our women a few years
ago. j li'-ve it was called the I’syciie
knot. Tlie women wear tlielr hair In a
bunch. I cannot be more explicit for
a man is not expected to describe that.
w':ii.‘li none of his s ; -x have ever yet
bcm able to comprehend- the wonderful
intricacies of a wonman's hair when it Is
put up. I should probably have had to ■
deni similarly with women’s dress sive
that there is so little of it that the sub- i
ject can be d* .scribed in a phrase, com
prehended in a glance.”
Fishing, the lecturer said, is the chief <
occupation of the Yaps. c)n the island ’
there are about twelve white people,
an Ameriein, an Englishman, and a
Spaniard. Th*? rest tire German. The
religion of the Yap '-no man knoweth,” i
and tlie only Chi'istian missionaries on :
the island ar*.* four earnest, faithful, de- :
vote*! Franciscan priests. The climate
was characterized as delightful, though ;
rains of abort duration are exceedingly :
common.
In speaking of the dwelling of th** fam- ,
Ous Kink O'Keefe Mr. Hartridge said:
“In the bay of Yap. on one of th*' islets ;
mentioned bj me. is the house ami "home. :
station of King O’Keefe. Th f, re is his i
dwelling, built high from the ground.
Set in a cocoanut grove. th y waters of
the bay come within a short distan of :
its foundations. There dwell ;l portion "f
his Eastern family. From this point
his trading expeditions set forth to ro- '
turn laden with the spoils of tho trees.
There his estate is being administ*?red
1/y the tutor placed in charge by the Ger
man government.”
Sam E. Magill, of the Georgia, road,
tells a good story on a local hunter who
went out for his first attack on the birds
of Georgia’.
This Nimrod was equipped with a four
hundred and fifty dollar shotgun, a cord,
uroy suit, high leather hunting boots,
and everything that he had ever seen il
lustrated in the sporting periodical ad- ■
vertisements, and his appearance was i
such as to produce a feling of awe in .
the man w-ho merely carried an ordl- I
nary gun. and wore bls last year's :
breeches for a uniform.
In company with Magill and another
ra*iroad man. the desperate sport made
a journey to the southern part of the
state not long since and sallied forth
in search of adventure. Before many
miles had been covered the dogs cam*’
to a point, and the hunters gathered
around them with weapons held ready for
business. Suddenly a bird was seen to
desert the covey and run towards a neck '
of woods that was near by. The "sport"
In the bunch instantly trained his gun
on the bird and followed Ills motions as
he ran
"You ain’t going to shoot him while
he’s running, arc you" exclaimed one of
the party indignantly.
"Hell, no.” replied the rancy hunter In
earnest tones: "I’m going to wait til) he
i stops'." And the band played, "Show Me j
the Way to Go Home.''
