ing practical has so far been accom-
plished. The nearest approach to do
ing anything of benefit to any of the
countries represented or commen-
urate with the objects and purposes
for which the congress originally as
sembled has been the majority report
of the committee on tariff. The sub
stance of this was the recommends
ton of reciprocity treaties between
the different nations of the two con-
tinents, each nation agreeing to adj
NIT certain products of the other free
in exchange for equivalent conces-
sions. For instance the United
States could admit Argentine wool
free provided the Argentine Republic
lifted her import duty off American
iron goods. Again Brazilian coffee
might be put on the free list in ex-
change for certain classes of United
States manufactured cotton goods
admitted free of duty in that country.
The free list might be extended far
in the direction of the limit of rev.
enue for governmental expenses. The
effect would be the immediate enlarge
ment of commerce between the coun-
tries, the opinion of the San Francisco
Call and other protection papers that
our trade with South America must
be increased without regard to tariff
to the contrary notwithstanding.
1t is significant that the minority
report of the same committee opposes
all reciprocity treaties until the
United States shall admit wool free.
All Of which shows that changes in
the tariff systems of American coun-
tries and an approach towards free
trade-as far as their governmental
revenue needs will:allow-is the real,
substantial and only logical basis on
which the commerce between the
United States and Central and South
America can be built up and the trade
of those countries wrested from Great
Britain and European manufacturing
centers.

FARM NOTES.
HOW TRYING TO CULTIVATE TOO
MANY ACRES RESULTS
DIsASTEROUsLY.
Rotation of Crops Recommended fol
he Prevention of Cotton
Root Rot.

TThe column Is edited by Mr.. John c.
Edgar of Duval, to whom all communities
| tons should be addressed.
This department of The STATESMAN
is conducted for the benefit OF farm
ing subscribers. 1t is not intended as
substitute for any other strictly az
ricultural paper, but aims only to
treat of matters OF interest to the ag-
riculturists and horticulturists of Cen
trail Texas. The soil, climate and
other conditions OF this section differ
widely from those in distant parts of
the State, not to speak of other States,
80 that the experience and conclu-
sions of farmers published in many
farmers papers are often valueless
and misleading when applied here.
That the land does not produce
anything like possible maximum
crop will be conceded. Every farmer
wishes to make a full crop, but the
large majority fail to do so,
from many causes. The regular
reader of this column will find these
causes enumerated and denounced and
he will find information on all mat
ters pertaining to the welfare of agri-
culture in its widest sense. 1t is to
be hoped that farmers will take ad-
vantage OF this department and COM
municate their knowledge for the ben
eft of others. All communications of
interest to the farming community of
this section will be gladly received
and published. Every farmer knows
something not generally known that
would be OF advantage TO others. No
one is all-wise. Should any state
ments be made or advice given in this
column that is not considered sound
doctrine, write an expose OF the fraud.
So far only complimentary letters
have beenl received, of which the fol-
lowing is sample, but should other
opinions prevail; don't be afraid to ex-
press them and "turn on the light"
SIR: Having kept up with you for
several years through the columns
of the Farm and Ranch, l am graft
fed to find you editing "Farm Notes"
on the STATESMAN. AS an old farmer
I endorse your system of Checking

lection OF Johnson grass. 1 congrat
ulate the farmers OF Travis that you
have been induced to preside over this
important department of the paper.

THE DIsoUIErED EXPRESS.

The soul OF the Express is troubled
within it, it is exceeding vexed, and
all because The STATESMAN drew a
legitimate, businesslike conclusion
from a certain statement in one of
its editorials. The Express declared
1T had sent to Austin certain checks
which were Gin the possession OF the
managers or the Confederate Austin
Homo" (which by the way is gross
misnomer-the home is not an Aus
tin, but State institution, and is
styled the Confederate Home). Now,
these checks, the two of them amount
ing to little less than the muniicent
sum of thirty dollars, were sent here
during last summer. II is pretty
well established business rule that
checks unnecess arily retained in ones
possession are held there at his risk,
and it was to have been supposed
these two checks would have been
cashed seven or eight months ago.
But the Express said they were still
Gin the possession of the managers of
the Confederate Austin Home" If
so, then surely they must be unpaid.
The Express made the blunder in its
awkward expression, and not THE
STATESMAN in its legitimate conclu-
sion. We rejoice with the Express
that the Home has gotten the benefit
of that thirty dollars. But that insti-
tuition needs much more money, and
as we have succeeded in getting the
Express heartily interested in the sub
ject we shall hope to see it level its
telling guns upon San Antonio, to the
end that the Alamo city may give
good account of itself in this grand
charitable work.

THE TRUTH PLAINLY PUT.

An Austin correspondent in very
long letter yesterday enumerating
what were Austin's needs, mentioned
among other things a bigger daily
paper. The STATESMAN agrees with
him exactly. In fact has been preach
ing this to the Austin people for sew
eral years, but it seems with the effect
of making only the one convert
mentioned. Yet even this does not
8 em to be genuine bona fde case OF
conversion. For "by their fruits ye
shall know them" is the best of
authority. A digger" newspaper in
wolves an increased outlay OF money.
Now, the correspondents letter, at
even the reduced rate given such pub
lie matters, was worth to us fully $40
in composition and space, yet we
ound no check accompanying the
letter. Nor do we find his name any
where among our list OF advertisers at
present or for some time past. Is the
gentleman really in earnest about
wanting larger paper? The present
size costs $1,000 week, does he pro-
pose to help increase the bank ac-
count necessary for such a proposed
change, by doing himself and getting
his friends to do the one thing needed,
give The STATESMAN better patron
ageY This done, THE STATESMAN will
furnish the paper he thinks Austin
should have-is the gentleman an
swered?

THE Post gives this back-handed
compliment: "Hon. John M. Moore
present secretary of state, is an
nounced as a candidate for attorney
general. Mr.. Moore is young man
of ability and doubtless would
fill: the position equally as acceptable
as did some others who have occu-
pied it in the past. He is the son OF
the late Chief Justice Moore, and is
said to have inheritep great deal of
his lamented fathers natural legal
ability" Now, "the past" is dread
fully long and uncertain length of
time and may cover multitude OF
weaknesses. The truth is, the Post
does not seem to be wildly enthusiasts
tic over Mr.. Moore.
