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.

This fer tilizer will analyze about 7 per cent phos phoric acid. 2 per cent ammonia and 3 per rent potash. This formula wi'l be found well adapted to loam and sandy loam soils where there Is a goo I * lay , subsoil vnd is especially recommended where cotton is affected by rust, which the kainit seems in a great measure Io pre vent.

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 acroag*-. .advances on "futures,” which Is prefer- ; able to locking up his caplt.il, wlpeh Im wants for extension of cultivation area, ’ Irrigation, etc. Similarly the splnm r bujs "futures,” and sells tin m week by wc* k ; ns he buys spot cotton, rath* : than ; ■ k up capital in stocks of actual cotton. 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. The Bucket Shop.

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,- 635,700. Circulation $45,300,400; decrease $731,- 700. Legal tenders $67,902,500; decreasft $307,000. Specie $161,151,900; Increase $3,204,800 Reserve $229,054,300; increase $2,957 800.

Free Booklet On Urinary Diseases, written by the lending specialist of this country. Ad dress Dr. J. Newton Hathaway, 4‘i Inman building, Atlanta, Ga. 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.''
