RELATION OF GOVERNMENT
TO THE COTTON INDUSTRY
Interesting Facts in Report by an
Expert on Cotton Statistics
-I
Washington, D. C.—An inter
esting bulletin on “Cotton Pro
duction in 1908’’ has just been
issued by the census bureau. It
was prepared by Daniel Ro
per, expert chief of the division
of cotton statistics.
The bulletin- contains many
formidable looking tables of-fig
' tires, but upon examination and
i by the aid of the explanations
I given by Mr. Roper in plain ev
. cry day language, tin- otherwise
I dry statistics become exceeding-
I ly interesting as bearing on the
j various phases of the cotton crop
In the course of a chapter of
the work entitled "The Relation
iof the Government to the Oot
! ton Industry,” the following in
teresting information is given:
“Agriculture has always been
the chief occupation of man, but
the methods employed therein,
prior to 1850 were for the most,
part, crude, and were < ‘uspieii
oiis for an absence of system, due
[»ossibly to frequent, warfare or
the impoverished condition ot
the peasantry. Little or no im
provement took pla<-e in Europaar
agriculture during the period of
one thousand j ears from the age
of Charlemagne until the revo
lionary epoch of 1848. Even af
ter the defeat of Napoleon, in
1815, tillage in many countries,
was little beyond the stage it.
had reached at the time of the
Pharaohs; wooden plows were
us< d ami grain was threshed by
the tramjiing of animals.' Reap
ing hooks may still be seen in
some countries; but in recent'
years, through the general intro
duction of machinery and the
growing use of scientitie meth
ods, the effectiveness of labor
has been wonderfully increased.
“It is not difiieult, therefore,
to understand why the need oi
definite information and statisti
cal data relative to agriculture
was not manifested until about,
the, middle of the nineteenth cen
tury. It is significant that the
advance, indicated by the de
mand for statistics, was tin- fore
runner of a scientific study ot
the industry. This advance ap
pealed first in the United Stales,
with the result that this country
now leads all others in agricul
tural wealth.
“Prior to the census of 1840.
which dealt with the crop of
1839, no data regarding the pro
duction of agricultural crops wer
regularly collected by the govern
ment in this country. That census
showed a production of cotton
equivalent to 1,653,733 bales of
500 pounds Hindi, valued at more
than 170,000,000, or about one
fifth of the total value of all ag
ricultural products at that time.
Again the value of raw cotton ex
ported in 1840 was about 60 per
cent, of our total exports of do
mestic products. Cotton, there
fore, constituted a very impor
tant portion of the country s
wealth, and statistics regarding
it began to attract, considerable
attention. Interest was shown
by congress in 1832, when Hon.
Levi Woodbury, seerttary ot the
treasury, was directed to pre
pare a report on the production
of cotton. This was the first en
deavor of the government to
cidleet cotton statistics, and the
report covering the period from
1790 to 1835, submitted to con
gress in 1836, is still regarded as
the most reliable for the' crops
, shown in it.
“A well-defined demand for
statistical information regarding
agriculture and for more fre
quent data than was afforded by
the census taken deeeniuily, had
arisen, and, therefore, congress
m 1863, authorized the depart
ment of agriculture to eolleet cer
tain statistics and beginning with
that year estimates of eotton acre
age and production have been
prepared annually. Thee manner
in which this department has
established its efficient s-erviee
in eounevtion with thu cultiva
tion of eotton furnishes an inter
esting reference in the economic
duty of agriculture. It has
awakened the entire agricultur
al industry, and brought the prae |
ticai results of setenliiic research]
THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS, THURSDAY, JULY 8, 1909-
to the aid of the farmers.
“A very large percentage of
the cotton growers now realize
the importance of improved meth
cds in tillage, seed, selection,
plant culture and harvesting.
Much of this has resulted direct
ly or indirectly from the plans
and demonstrations of the United
States department of agriculture.
The expenditures made by the
national government and by the
several cotton-growing states
and other local subdivisions in
the interest of cotton, not includ
ing the cost of educational work
in the schools, colleges and in
stitutes, amount to approximate
ly -$1,000,000 annually. Os this
probably one-third is devoted to
cotton at the experiment sta
tions, one-third to statistical in
quiries, and the remaining one
third to special phases of the
plant and its enemies. A num
ber of bureaus in several depart
ments in the national govern
ment are now charged with work,
relative to some phase of the
eotton industry, and the gener
al scope and importance of these
endeavors are indicated by nam
ing the character of the investi
gations ami the publications of
these iihreaus.”
LIQUOR REVENUES
GREATLY GREASED
John Capers, cominissiiim .<
of internal revenues, ascribes the
big slump in liqi or revenues to
three main causes besides prohi
hibition though lie acknowledges
that the latter has played its
part. The other causes in his
opinion are first the influence of
the recent panic; second the un
sottled condition of the liquor
trade, pending the final settle
ment of the conflict over the
making amd branding of liquors
under the pure food and drug
act; third, uncertainty as to the
tariff law and its effect on the
liquor trade; and fourth, prohi
bition.
In Georgia the effect oi pro
hibition on the revenue receipts
is too marked to be slurred over
or denied. The revenue which
Uncle Sam received through the
office of collector of internal rev
lenue at Atlanta amounted in the
last fiscal year ending June 30,
1908, to $414,981.42 The year
I before the receipts had been
$630,456.89, There was thus ap
parent a decrease of s2l a,47.1.47.
The receipts from fermented li
quors fell off $50,000, and from
distilled spirits, the receipts were
less by $155,000.
Whatever may be true of the
rest of the country, this showing
is unquestionably a direct conse
quence of prohibition.—Georgia

Jesse Miller of Barre, Vt., has
been driven out of the state of
Georgia for attempting to organ
ize negroes into labor unions and
to induce them to strike tor high
wages. Miller came to Georgia
about seven weeks ago and-be
gan to work in the rural districts
He told the negroes he represent
ed a northern society which
wanted to better the conditions
of the negroes, and the way to
do it was to form labor unions
and strike on the planters. He
formed several lodges and collect
ed a fee of $lO from each.
Last week Miller reached Spar
ta and began his work among
the negroes. When the planters
learned what he was doing they
handled him roughly and drove
him from town. He went to
Milledgeville and was again
roughly handled by white citi
zens, who put him on a train and t
had him accompanied from the
state.

Roads of Sawdust
A new plan of making roads
in Florida is sawdust mixed with
dirt. Two ridges of earth are
thrown up with a road machine at
the required width from each oth
er and the space between filled
with a six-inch bed of sawdust.
This makes a roadbed on which
the tires of the heaviest loaded
vehicle make no impression. The
contractor has kept an accurate
account of expenses in connec
tion with this section of sawdust
and earth road amd says the cost
aggregates $237 a mile, showing
it to be about the cheapest road
material in use.
The Retort Courteous
An old darkey wanted to join
a fashionable city church, amd the
minister, knowing it was hardly
the thing to do and not wanting
to hurt his feelings, told him to
go home and pray over it. In a
few days the darkey came back.
’ >V. )|, what do you think of it
by this time?” asked the preach
er. “Well, sah,” replied the col
ored man. “Ah prayed an’ pray
ed an’ de good Lawd, he says
to me, ‘Rastus, Ah wouldn’t bod
der mah head about dat no mo.
xlh’ve been trying to git into dat

WESTON, Ocean-to-Ocean Walker,
Said recently: “When you feel
down and out, feel there is no use
living, just take your bad thoughts
with you and walk them off. Be
fore you have walked a mile things
will look rosier. Just try it.” Have
you noticed the increase in walking
of late in every community? Many
attribute it to the comfort which Al

der to be shaken into the shoes,
gives to the millions now using it.
