Memphis, Tenn.—ln its weekly re view of the cotton crop, the Com mercial-Appeal says: ' Cotton opened very rapidly during the weei throughout the south and as soon &3 temperatures become more moderate pleking will be pushed in all secticns, Except in the Atlantic ‘statcs, where there are some good crops, the yield from the fields that have been picked over is not satisfac tory aund the indicated total outturn is small, Except on the lowlands the plant is not growing now and rains could add but litule to the pro .duction, 'Theire is much less com plaint of shedd.nz this week, but it is notable that the complaints have ceased where the loss has been sever ¢st and some correspondents note that the plant has lost everything but matured or half matured Dbolls. In Texas it is estimated that with favoring weather the crop will be nearly all gathered by October 15. East of the Missisgippi river numer ous showers fell during the week, and Arkansas also got some rain. These showers helped to stop shedding and retarded slightly the rate at which the boils were opening.

C.—Rat clubs and other societies for systematic warfare on destructive rocdents may leap into popular favor among houseckeepers, now that the government has official ly sanctioned this method of extermi nation of the worst mammal pest in the United States. The rat has been recognized by the government as a problem. Its activ ity in disseminating infectus dis eases has long loomed up as a danger signal to the health authorities, and losses from its depredations run into many millions dollars a year, accord ing to an official statement just is sued by the department of agricul tare, E . Dr. David E. Lantz of the bureau ‘of biological survay, has taken vigor ous hold of the question and says: “However valuable-cats may be as mousers, few of them learn to catch rats. The ordinary house cat is too well fed and ggnsequently too lazy to undertake the’ capture of an animal as formidable 4s the brown rat.” The department in a bulletin em phasizes the importance of rat*tlubs and suggests that interest in organ ized rat hunts may be stimulated by offering prizes or rewards in various communities to the individual hauling forth the grcatest number of dead rats after one of the crusades.

Goterament Report Shows That Soils Are Not Wearing Out. Washington, D, C.—Soils of the United States are not weering out and the crop ylelds are rather In creasing than decreasing, These facts are demonstrated in a bulletin lssued by the bureau of soils of the agricut tural department, prepared by Profes sor Mliton Whitney, chief of the bu reau. The bulletin deals exhaustively with the ylelds of crops from 1867 to 1906, inclusive, “A careful study of the date which has been presented appears to justify two conclusions,” says Professor Whitney, “First, that the productiv ity of the newer agricultural soils oif the United States and of the older agricultural solils of Europe, taken as a whole, and for the nation, are not declining, as is popularly supposed. Individual farming deteriorates and goils wear out, as they have always done, but as a whole, it seems prob able that we are producing more crops per acre than formerly, “Second, that so far as our informa ticn goes, there is apparently no sig nificant difference at the present time between the composition of the old ag:icultural soils of Kurope and the newer agricultural soils ot the United States, with respect to potash, phos phoric acid, lime and magnesia.” The bulletin gives averages by states for the production of wheat per acre froin 1668 to 1907. The first three are: Vermont 18:5 bushels; Maine, 16.5; New York, 13.7. Southern states mentioned have the following averages; . Maryland, 13.3; Missouri, 12.2; Tex as, 11.5; Virginia, 9.1; Arkansas, 8.9, Tennessce, 8.2; Mississippi, 8.1; Ala bama, 7.6; Georgia, 7.1; North Caro lina, 6.9; South Carolina, 6.6, GENERAL GRANT A TEETOTALER. Would Give His Life to Free Country of Whisky Curse. Chicago, Illl.—Major General Fred erick D. Grant, wno is to lead the temperance parade here September 25, was quoted by the Rev. T. F. Dorn blazer, pastor of Grace English Lu theran Church, in addressing a union rally of temperance people at Willard Hall as saying: “Tell young men that General Grant does not drink a drop of liquor and has not for eighteen years, because he is afraid to drink. I tried to drink with extreme moderation, because 1 knew that alcohol is the worst poison that a man can take into his system, but I found that it was an absolute impossibility to drink moderately. Be cause moderate drinking is -an impos sibility, 1 became an absolute teeto taler—a crznk, if you please. I will not allow it in my house. Drink is the greatest curse of mankind, because practically all the crime and disaster are the result of it. Ninety-five per cent of desertions and acts of lawless ness in the army are due to drink. If I could, by offering my body as a sac rifice, free this country from the fell cancer—the demon drink—l'd thank the Almighty for the privilege of ‘do ing it. 1f 1 had the greatest appoiun. ive power in the country, no man would get even the smallest appoint ment from me unless he showed proof of his absolute teetotalism. - “As it is, of the member of my staff, not one of them touches a drink. They know better.” : ENGLISH-GERMAN WAR PREDICTED. il Conflict May Come in 1912, Says Lord Northcliffe. Winnipeg, Manitoba.—Lord ; North: cliffe, owner of the London Times, in an interview here, predicted war be tween Germany and Great Britain, He said~ in the Krupp works alone one hundred thousand men are work ing night and day and on Sundays, preparing for war. Lord Nortliclifte said: , “I will make the suggestion, with a respect to the Canadians who are investing their money and labor in constructing railroads and building grain elevators, that they keep an eye cn KEuropean affairs, ‘and begin to figure out why it is all the ship building yards in Germany’ are busy constructing rapid cruisers and first class battleships, and why. it is that Krupp's works have increased their hands to over 100,000 men, nearly the populatiocn of Winnipeg?” : His conviction is that war can only be averted by most complete and thorough preparation on the side of Great Britain. He said; that some Canadians have Utopigiy.views, and think such war a crime. ' “The Germans don’t think so,” he continued. “They have .a magnifi cent army and the second navy in the world, and they ask what these things are for, 2 “They are a thrifty people. They made an immense sum of money out of their last great war, “They will fight or threaten again when they think that it will pay.” He said that some observers be lieved such a war might begin by 1912.
