The Little Cabinet Factory.
Mr. Taft could not spend as much
time as the richest man In the world
chasing the little white hall. He had
to attend all the possum banquets
and taste all those cakes, and he
had to make his cabinet, which was
a task of such a sort as no presi

The Solid South.
Lovers of the original In politics
as well as in plays and literature,
who thought that Mr. Taft was go
ing to have no policies of his own
because of the legacy of great poli
cies that Mr. Roosevelt had left to
him to carry through, must revise
their estimates. It Is not a new
policy which he is developing—at
least, (he idea is not new. For forty
years the South has been, politically,
subject to the North. There have
been only one party and one issue.
We have witnessed the anomaly of
one section of the country, politically,
out of the union voting always
against negro rule, regardless of na
tional Issues.
Can Mr. Taft break the solid South?
Practical politicians put this question
at once, it Is doubtful if he has ask
ed it himself at all. He wants to
be president of the whole country,
nnd he recognizes that political con
ditions in the South should make him
look beyond the partisan results of
the electoral vote.
Temperamentally, as well as a mat
ter of duty, he hears the call of the
South. He likes warm weather and
to have the sun shining when he

THE AUGUSTA HERALD
BRIQUETTED COAL
GREAT FUEL SAVER
Have Greater Heat-Giving
Properties and Can Be
More Conveniently Car
ried.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Millions of
tons of coal may be saved to the
country through the Investigations
of the Technologic Branch of the
United States Geological Survey into
the briquetting of coal. For several
years this branch of the government
has been conducting a series of ex
periments In the hope of stopping the
tremendous waste in the use of fuels
and one of these was the making of
briquets out of slack or waste coal.
This fine coal, which has not nearly
the value of the lump coal, because of
the difficulty in burning it, is mixed
5 or 6 per cent of water gas pitch
and pressed into cakes or bricks by
powerful machinery.
Several hundred tons of these bri
quets were made at a fuel-testing
plant at St. l>ouis, Mo,, and later at
Norfolk, Va. This prepared fuel was
used in a number of tests by the Penn
sylvania, the Missouri Pacific, the
Lake Shore, the Michigan Central, the
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific, the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, the
Chicago and Eastern Illinois, the
Chespeake and Ohio, and the Atlan
tic Coast Line railroads, and in ev
ery instance thfe briquets furnished
more power with less weight of fuel
than the run-of-mine coal from the
same mines. They further showed
less smoke than the coal and indi
cated that their proper use at termi
nals might do away with a large part
of the smoke nuisance front the rail
roads in the big cities of the coun
try.
In co-operation with the navy de
partment, a series of tests were made
on Ihe torpedo boat Biddle, off Hamp
ton Roads and the briquets weight for
weight with the coal, succeeded in
generating much more power , but
there was very little difference in the
amount of smoke.
To the navy these tests are of the
greatest importance. The fact that
the briquets give more power than
the coal means that a vessel carrying
2,000 tons of briquets will be capabs<
of steaming a farther distance than
one with 2,000 tons of raw coal. In
time of war this would be very desir
able, especially if the fleet were in
foreign waters, far from coaling sta
tions.
To the railroads, the briquets it is
said will undoubtedly prove a valu
able fuel became of the hotter fire
they make and the lessening of the
smoke, in a number of the road tests
the engines using briquettes carried
‘heavy trains much faster than with
[the coal. They showed their ability
in a nutnber of instances in making
up lost tlmfe, which would have been
[lmpossible with the raw coal, accord
ing to the statements of the men who
operated the engines.
A report on the results of these
tests has just been made to the Geo
logical Survey by Prof. W. F. M.
Goss, consulting engineer in charge
of locomotive tests. He sees many
advantages to the railroads in the use
iof briquets. “In locomotive service,”
says Mr. Goss, “the substitution of
brlqutts for coal has resulted in
[marked increase in efficiency, in an
increase in boiler capacity and in a
decrease in the production of smoke.
It has been especially noted that care
ful firing of briquets at terminals is
effective In diminishing the amount c
smoke produced.”
The tests as a whole indicate that
many low grade coals, now consid
ered useless may make an admirable
; fuel and thus add to the supply of the
i country which is being used at a
rapid rate.

sue In the whole country.
Mr. John Hays Hammond.
If enthusiasm in Augusta is any cri
terion, Mr. Taft has already won the
South. But the South as host and
the South at the ballot-box are dif
ferent things. Mr. Hammond Is or
ganising Southern Taft clubs, whosp
teaching will be that a map who
believes in the Taft policies should
so vote in national elections, regaid
less of local issues. This if itself
means discussion and development
toward the two-party idea so long
dead. Mr. Hammond builds on a per
sonality. The Southern people like
Mr. Taft, whether they break bread
with him or shake hands with him
or hear him speak. Hls word to all
is that, republican or democrat, the
latchstrlng at the White House Is
out He wants advice other than
that of the office-seeking, delegate
delivering republican machine. His
visits to the South —and there will be
many—will give him a large acquaint
ance, and through them an Influence
which must be valuable to them, to
him. and to the country.

DIVERSIFIED FARMING IS MAKING
SOUTHERN PLANTERS INDEPENDENT
WASHINGTON.—In no section of
the country probably has there been
a more wonderful advancement in
agriculture within the past ten or
twelve years than in the South. Fa
vored, as it is, with a soil as fer
tile in many places as is the Valley
of the Nile and with the introduc
tion of practical scientific methods,
the belief is expressed by officials of
the department of agriculture that
the Southland is bound to take that
place in agricultural development she
merits.
Farmers Awakening.
A spirit of reawakening Is coming
over the Southern farmer. The agri
cultural progress in the South has
been marked by a material prosper
ity such as perhaps has never be
fore been enjoyed by the farming ele
ment of that part of the country. The
financial condition c S the Southern
planter began to take an upward
tendency about 1897, since which time
the situation has steadily improved.
The production of cotton —that gVeat
staple crop of the South—ir-veased
53 per cent from 1896 to 1908, and
the value of the crop 133 per cent.
The Southern farmer, long debt-rid
den, has to a marked degree been
again placed on his feet as it were by
the increased prices he has received
for his cotton crop of late years. As
a natural consequence, he is devoting
more time and attention to building
himself a better home, to the educa
tion of his children and, he is in fac<£
deriving more of the comforts of life
than ever before.
Progress Recent.
The agricultural progress of the
South really dates back to a few
years ago when the agricultural de
partment inaugurated an educational
campaign for a diversification m the
crops. The application of practical
scientific methods to Southern agri
culture ih the opinion of Secretary
Wilson has done more to uplift that
land than any other factor. King
Cotton un..l recent years practically
was the one great crop of the South
—the farmer devoted little or no at
tention to other crops. But the ad
vent of the cotton boll weevil—that
little insect pest from Mexico—be
cause of the devastation It left in its
lightning-like spread over the South,
has brought the farmer to a realiza
tion that he must raise other crops.
Now, through the educational propa
ganda conducted by the department
of agriculture in the diversification
of crops, the Southern farmer is ac
complishing notable results.
801 l Weevil a Blessing.
Officials of the department of ag
riculture believe that the advent of
the boll weevil was in reality a sort
of blessing to the South. While it
was disastrous in its effect upon that
great staple crop, it at the same time
made the farmer realize that he must
not devote all of his land to cotton,
but must depend to a considerable
extent upon other crops. The South
was quick to absorb the scientific
knowledge so freely given it by the
Federal government and is rapidly
recovering from past mistakes. Sec
retary Wilson is a great believer in
the doctrine that the foundation of
this nation’s prosperity is an enlight
ened agriculture.
Department Interested.
“I am happy to have an opportuni
ty to express through the Associated
Press,” said Secretary Wilson today,
"the agricultural department’s good
will toward the South and Us desire
to foster in every way the agricul
tural prosperity of that and fa
vored region. I have always taken
a great Interest In the agriculture of
the South, not only because of its ex
tremely interesting possibilities, but
because I haves felt a keen sympathy
with a people struggling bravely to
overcome the results of a devastating
war. I felt that they needed such
help as the department could give
them, and 1 have lent a willing ear
to their appeals. It is very gratifying
to me to see the cordial spirit of ap
predation manifested by the people
of the South for the work the de
partment is trying to do.”
Better Management.

the bureau of plant industry, who

has charge of the farm management
investigations in the South, much has
been done to encourage better sys
tems of farm management, looking to
the restoration of fertility, the bring
ing back of humus into the soil, and
the suggestions of improved rota
tions.
Fighting Weevil.
“One of the most important meth
ods adopted in fighting the cotton
boll weevil,” said Professor Spill
man today, “is the diversification of
crops and the introduction of new
crops. Since the farmers have begun
to realize that the weevil will in a
few years spread oyer the entire cot
| ton belt, they have become interested
in other crops as they never were
before. In many sedions truck grow
ing has developed amazingly. This
is especially the case along the sea
board, and along the principal lines
of railway connecting the south with
the large Industrial centers of the
[ north. In o’ther sections farmers
have turned their attention to the
production of hay. Formerly much
of the hay used, even on farms in the
south, has been shipped in from other
sections. The price of hay has there
fore been high. While not enough
hay is grown in the south to supply
the demand, the quantity of the home
grown product has increased to a
remarkable degree since the depart
ment of agriculture began its pro
paganda for diversified agriculture in
the south as a means of fighting the
boll weevil. In some sections, es
pecially in Alamaba and Mississippi,
alfalfa has become an important crop.
Last spring one small town in Mis
sissippi sold over $3,000 worth of at
salsa seed. Five years ago there
was hardly an acre of this crop :
that vicinity.
Diversified Crops.
“Many other crops formerly grown
in small acreages only have been
sown on an increasingly large scale
for the past few years. This is es
pecially true of corn, cowpeas, and
soy beans. The cowpea crop es
pecially has. become vastly more im
portant than formerly. This crop
is used both for hay and as a see
crop, for which there has been a
steady demand at good prices.
Stock Raising.
“Southern farmers also are turn
ing their attention to stock raising,
uattle have not been much raised in
the south, both because forage crops
were not extensively grown and be
cause of the presence of the tick
which spreads the dreaded southern
cattle fever. The government, both
state and national, is now making
an effort to eradicate this tick, with
every promise of success. This wiW
permit of the development of an im
jortant new industry in the sourh
which is not affected by the boll wee
vil.
Prosperity Coming.
“Apparently it will only be a short
time before the south will adjust its
agricultural industries to the changed
cohditions brought about by the ad
vent of the boll weevil, and will be
even more prosperous than it was
when cotton was king. At the same
time, owing to improved methods of
culture, and increased acreage, the
cotton crop will probably be even
greater than it is now.’’
