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 W. T. C. U. 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.
