\ dispatch from Bad Axe. Mich, says:
"Thc farmers of Il portion of Huron

their crops were totally destroyed by tho
terrific storm which swept the Eastern
part of the county at harvest time.
The appeal has been made by 200 of
them in the face of absolute want and
possible starvation. The storm was a
phenomenal one, the hail falling in
clouds and covering the ground from
ionr To- eight inches, completely burying
ali their crops. The track of the storm
was through Sicgcl and Bloomfield and
par! "i Paris townships, and covered an
area eighteen miles long and a milo

THE COTTON BAGGlNG BOYCOTT.
what Georgia Journal Says About tho
Fight of the Farmers Alliance.

ATLANTA, Ga, August 22.-Spcal-
ing OF DoycottS, it may be remarked
that the boycott Of the Jutc Trust by
the Farmers Alliance has been a com
plctc success. From ID cents, the price
demanded by the trust, which was
equal to direct tax OF Sl,UOOOOO u
year on the Southern farmers, jutc has
fallen to 81.
But even at this price there is no de-
mand Tor Jutc bagging on the part Of
the cotton growers. AS Il matter Of
TACT the boycott has just fairly got in
TO working order, and it is not likely
lhaC the farmers will again place thrn-
selves IN the power of so vicious a COM
bination as that formed by the iItc
manufacturers. TO resort again TO
llltc as covering for cotton would
not only be against the best interests
OF lhe farmers, but would be unjust to
Ihc interests which have been built uO
rs 4 result Of the boycott.
The greed of the lutte men over
reached itself in this instance, and all
the indications go to Show that the
proIitahlc market into which they en-
tered rs highway robbers will never
again be opened to them.
The Manufacturers Record makes q
! illlle estimate that is 0f special interest
| III I'LL" connection. II the entire new
crop, which is estimated at 7,OUOUR
, ba!cS, should be wrapped in cotton bag
glng, 3o,noVD yards Of it would lie
required, which is equivalent to 27UDD,.
'0 pounds of the staple, making new
market for $1,000 bales Of 800 pounds
each.
At very low estimate, it is believed
That thlSincrcaScd consumption will add
TO the market price Of the Staple at
least nall Il cent Il pound. giving IN
additional value of - 30 TO each bale
while the saving by the use Of iutc
would he but 23 cents Il bale. 1t is not
expected that TINS result will be
brought about at once, but it is certain
to follow the persistent refusal OF the
| farmers to HSC ute.
We may say here that an Atlanta
gentleman, whose process for rNtrart-
ing librcS las attracted attention even
IN foreign counties, is now experiment.
ing with the fibre OF the cotton plant.
| lie thinks that for cOmparativCly in
| significant sum he can place on each
! farm machine for stripping the bark
| from the cotton stalk directly the pick
! ing is over, and before the plant has
| become dry and hard. From the bark
the fibre can be extracted at cost
almost nominal, and it can then be
worked up in the same manner as iutc
and woven on the same machinery.
