opinion prevailed. Voted that the
following resolution be put Oil record:
Resolved, That Browns Valley AL
llance is opposed to the project of try
ing to remove our Agricultural Col
lege from its present correlation with
the State University; believing as we
do that such iftermedGling is not only
impolitic but damaging to the inter-

that it is every way worthy of our
undivided support where it is now To-

Not Enough 10 Go Around.
MINNEAPOLIS Tribune.

At the rate al which wheat and
-four have been going abroad from
this country during the past crop year,
our exports cannot be expected 10 fall
much below the equivalent Of 10000.
900 bushels of wheat. The total crop,
upon the last government report, Is
figured at 400,000,000 measured BUSH
els. The known inferiority of quality
il equivalent to reduction of 0,0OO,-
600 bushels, leaving only 3S0,00O.00O
Add to this the quantity in the, official
visible supply ut the beginning of tue
crop year about 1S,000,0O0 bushels and
supposing the invisible supply in far
nier's hands and country elevators,
from the old crop, to have been 25,00O,-
600 bushels, we have total resources
equivalent to 423,000,000 bushels.
The Cincinnati Price Current estimates
the home consumption at 362,0OO0OO
bushels which with the T0,OO0,0OO
bushels for export makes 49,, 100000
bushels or 100000 more than the
available supply supposing that every
kernel Of wheat is drawn out of the
country elevators aud the farmers
bins.
II these figures are anywhere near
correct, either prices must go up so as
TO cut Of exports entirely during the
latter half OF the crop year, or some
of the American people will have TO
GO without wheaton bread.
1t Ia possible that the Invisible sup
plies in the country are considerably
larger than the 25,000,000 bushels al
lowed in the estimates. In times OF
high prices it is generally found
that there are farmers who have sew
cral years crops in their granaries
which they have been holding for
prices more satisfactory than those
current. There is no doubt that ex'
tremely high prices will often bring
out unsupported supplies Of wheat and
corn but the fact must be ackn0wl-
edged that it takes really high prices
to bring them out. Hence If the 1889
crop is no larger than the government
reports would indicate and prices con-
tinue for some months longer OIL q
plane that admits of continued exports
this country is likely to reach a con-
dition of wheat shortage by next
spring where extreme prices will be
necessary to bring out the invisible
supplies. We may even see wheat al
- per bushel. The only way TO pre-
vent it is to put up prices now high

GATHERING COTTON.
A Dificult Problem Said TO he Overcome
BY Recent Invention.

A Dificult Problem Said TO BE Overcome
BY Recent Invention.
The problem ofgathering cotton balls
from the plant in more expeditions
manner than is done at present has
racked the brains of multitude OF in
ventors, and no less than $50 devices
have been patented which were designed
TO accomplish this purpose. The diff
Guilty encountered by this host OF in
ventors has been so great that up to the
present time the only way cotton is
gathered is by hand. One OF the
picturesque sights Of the South is q
cotton field with a swarm OF darkeys,
men. women and children, crawling
oftentimes on their hands and knees,
and dragging bags after them between
the rows Of plants, picking cotton. One
hundred pounds is q big days work
picking cotton. There is machine re-
sembling the frame OF wagon on four
wheels now at bridgeport, Conn, how
ever, that It's inventor and number OF
rich men who are interested in 1t think
has solved the cotton-gathering prob
lem.
It is the invention Of ]. Alfred House,
of Bridgeport and is called a cotton
harvester" Two horses are required to
pull it. 1t is not complicated. The
machine straddles the cotton plants, so
to speak. A drive wheel, set revolving
BY the motion of the machine as the
horses draw 1t along, turns several
wheels placed horizontally on the top OF
the machine. These wheels turn per-
pendicular rods that reach down on each
side Of the cotton row. To these. rods
are attached at right angles pieces OF
wires which describe rapid half-circles,
beating the cotton plant in their
sweep, or 'agitating" it. as the inventor
says. This agitation" knocks on the
cotton balls, which fall on q movable
floor, which carries the cotton back to
huge bag fastened to the rear OF the
machine.
Only slight blow causes the cotton
to fall of, but IL any thing remains fans
in the top OF the machine create a wind
that blows the plant clean. 1t is as
serted that this machine has been tested
in North Carolina in the presence OF the
Governor of that State, and can do the
work Of eighty cotton-plckers. The orig
inal scheme OF Harvesting" the cotton
by agitation" was the idea Of planter
named Graves in Alabama but its prac-
teal application is the work OF Mr..
House.-N. Y. Tribune.
