CLOVER AS A WEED ExTERMrNAToR.

Among its other excellent qualities as
an agricultural plant it is a common ex-
perience among farmers that clover is
one of the best exterminatois of weeds.
Air and sunshine are as necessary for the
life Of weeds as they are for cultivated
plantc, and when growing together, if
one Is thrifty enough to outgrow and
CTc-sha6ow the other, if not disturbed it
cyc-tually takes possession of the ground.
Go when clover is tnickly sown on
ground naturally weedy the two yearly
mowings and the shade will prove too
much for nearly al varieties of weeds,
and when the ground is plowed for a
different crop it will not only be en-
Tiched from the clover, but will be COM
p~aratively free from weeds. But itmust
not be forgotten that land may be so I'M
fertile that clover cannot be grown upon
it without first manurlng it and putting
the soil into a suitable condition for re-
cciving the seed, while a great many
kinds of weeds have the faculty OF
growing on very poor land without any
fertilizer whatever Orleans NeU

r.cco profitable additional use be ex-
rocted in the near future than from the
bcct. The sweet, juicy substance and
agreeable flavor of many of the varieties
have long made it a favorite esculent for
the table and stockmen are now using
the large sorts more and more as cattle
food. When fed with hay or fodder,
the combination is probably as good a
substitute as can be furnished for mich
COWS in lieu of grass. Where hay and
grain have been cheap, raising beets for
stock feeding has not been extensively
practised, but as land and apimals and
their usual food become more valuable,
tie use of roots for feeding must become
more common.
But it is as a sugar producing plant
that we may expect the most profitable
use will be found for the beet. There
ale now in Europe hundreds Of beet
sugar factories yielding satisfactory rev.
cnues to their owners and paying mill

In our w country it has been well as
ccrtained that there are large areas well
adapted 10 its cultivation, and in Cali

THE OCALA DEMANDS.

SULPHUR BLUFF, Aug. IL. 1891.
Editor Gazette.
Will you please publish for the benefit OF
your many readers the Oclla platform. and
also the Chicago platform of the third
partyf SUBSCRIBER.
We are not able to obtain the plat
form, as the Alliance is little chary
of furnishing The GAZETTE with liter
ature.. The Ocala platform we give:
/. We demand the abolition of national
banks; we demand that the government
shall establish sub-treasuries or deposito-
rics in the several states which shall loan
money direct to the people Ill u low rate of
interest, not to exceed 2 per cent per an
mum, on non-periShable products and also
upon real estate, with proper limitations
upon the quantity of land and amount OF
money; we demand that the amount Of the
circulating medium be speedily increased TO
not less than $50 per capita.
.. We demand that congress shall pass
such laws as shall efectually prevent the
dealing in futures on all agricultural and
mechanical productions: preserving a
stringent system of procedure in trial such
as shall secure prompt conviction and i'm
posing such penalties Us shall secure the
most perfect compliance with the law.
3. We condemn the silver bill recently
passed Oy congress, ana demand IN lcu
thereof the free und unlimited coinage of
silver.
/. We demand the passage of laws pro-
hibiung alien ownership OF land, and that
congress take prompt action to devise some
plan 10 obtain all lands now owned by aliens
and foreign syudicateS, and that all lands
now held by railroads and other corpora
tons in excess of such as are actually used
and needed by them be reclaimed by the
government and held for actual settlers
only.
). Believing in the doctrine of ''equal
rights to all and special privileges TO none, :"
shall be 50 framed in the future Us not to
build up one interest 1T the expense OF an
other. We further demand Il removal Of
the existing heavy tariff tax from the nee
essaries Of life that the poor of our land
must have. We further demand just and
equitable system of graduated tax on in
comes. We believe that the money OF the
country should be kept as much rs possible
in the hands of the people, and hence we
demand that all national and state revenues
shall be limited to the necessary expenses
of the government economically and hon
cstly administered.
i. We demand the most rigid, honest and
Just state and national governmental con-
troll and supervision of the methods of pub
lie communication and transportation, and
If this control and Supervision do not re-
move the abuse now existing, we demand
the government ownership of such means
of communication and transportation.

consumption. The remainder, one hun
dred and eighty-tive million bushels,
plus the estimated surplus left over
from last year, of 20, 100000 bushels, or
total of 2O5, 600, 900 bushels, will be ex-
ported, if q market for so much can be
found.
European estimate show an alarming
decrease in the wheat yield in those
countries that usually produce sur
plus. 1t is found that Russia will not
be able to export of this years crop to
exceed 40. 600, 000 bushels. The average
export of wheat from that country for
the past five years was 100000 The
shortage in the rye crop, also, has
moved the Russian government TO for
bid the expectation OF any part of that
cereal. The surplus wheat producing
countries of Europe will have about
ninety million bushels to sell, while the
non-wheaf raising countries OF the con-
tinent will need 81, 100000. This
leaves a deficiency of 2S6, 1000, 900 bush
els to be supplied by other than Euro
pean countries. India is credited with
surplus of SO, 900, 600 bushels, Austria
liza, Egypt, South America and Canada
with about fifty million. This leaves
203, 200, 900 for the United States to sup
ply to the European market. That she
will be able to meet the demand is be-
yond doubt. Her wheat may not
bring high price, owing to the finan-
cial and commercial depression exisa,
ing in Europe, but fair price may 30
expected. The time is not far away
when that fifty or sixty millions offs gold
that went to Europe few months ago
will begin to flow back again, and
bring relief to tight money market.
Thus does it happen that agriculture is
the salvation of the country, the only
agency that is able to counterfeit in part
the effect of wicked and misguided leg
islation.

THE Henderson Times is in favor OF
the alien land law, Gossett amendment
and all. The Henderson Times lives
in section that is favored. Rusk
county pays to the state $4,000 in state
taxes, and $1,000 in school taxes; but to
Rusk county the state kindly apportions
from the school fund over 81 900. In
other words, the taxpayers of Texas
subsidize Rusk county to the extent of
5000 annualiy-Texas pays Rusk
county $4,000 more annually than Rusk
county pays to Texas. And yet there
are few Western Texas newspapers
who have joined hands with the Times
to kill West Texas tthe goose that lays
the egg for Rusk county, with the
alien land law, as amended by Mr.. Cos
sett. Rusk county needs no cheap
money furnished by Englishmen. Rusk
county is subsidized by the state.

HOW THE LAW MAY BE AMENDED.

HOW THE LAW MAY BE AMENDED.
Monopoly in land is Il thing not much
to be feared in this country. Great
estates are built up only by long years
OF accretion and holding. The law of
primogeniture and of entail, by which
estates were kept in the hands of the
eldest son, without the power of aliena-
ton, made the great English landed
properties. The law favored them.
Our laws are opposed to them. Instead
OF descending to one heir alone, half q
dozen or more children inherit and
break up into as many parts the great
farm that the proprietor may have
spent lifetime in getting. And it is
not often the ease that the children Of
a very rich father inherit his faculty Of
accumulation and holding together. 1t
is more often their way to spend what
they take from the old man, and in a
few years his great landed property is
dissipatcd and in the hands OF
strangers. The Astor estate in New
York is the only one in the history Ct
our country that has held together for
two generations. American prosperity
is not likely to suffer from this source.
There can be no occasion TO dread
land monopoly, even in aliens, If they
are given limit for holding land. Say
that six years is allowed an alien who
acquires land in any way-either by
purchase, foreclosure or descent-what
danger is to be unprecedented from this
source? No loan company wants to
take land for its debts; but allowing
that they do. as the champions OF the
Gossett alien law contend-allowing
that they lend money On land with the
Interior purpose OF getting possession
of the land, the law as it now stands
can be so modified as to do away with
that pretended danger. Give the loan
companies six years to get rid of all of
their foreclosed properties. No man
will be foolish enough to claim that
a corporation or individual will try to
build up a great real estate monopoly
when he can hold it for no longer time
than six wears.

THE alien land law as amended at
the last moment, is the most cruel and
heartless law ever enacted for a peo-
pie, Deliberately it is argued that the
wreck OF thousands of Texas people
will result in good, just as ii the pro-
hibition of alien landlordism could not
be effected without ruin to any Texan.
Men owning as much as 200 acres OF
land are absolutely protected from
mortgage companies by the homestead
law, and yet these men, with cruelty
unaccountable, uphold a law that does
not protect them or those who own
less than 200 acres, but that does iu-
evitably eonsign thousands OF Texas
people TO financial disaster.

1t will be noted that the colonel has not
included Senators George and Walthall

marked out for sacrifice some months
ago, but they objected to the pro-
gramme, and the present condition OF
affairs in Mississippi shows the victims
sitting astride of the victimizers. 1t is
within the range of possibility that Col.

other senators will turn out as badly as
it did in Mississippi.

THE Fort Worth GAZETTE has Joined the
money power on the alien land law issue,
while the Houston Post is with the people.
Considering The GAZETTE's history during
and since the legislature, the people are
gainers by the swap.-ITexas Farmer.
As the Post has finally reached the
position assumed by THE GAZETTE at
first, to-wit: that the alien law should
be amended, the force OF the Farmers
observation becomes apparent. Few
men oppose an alien land law-tens Of
thousands of men oppose the Gossett

money at time when the people need
it so badly.

MEN who own 200 acres or less Of ag-
ricultural land cannot become a prey TO
mortgage companies, because of the
homestead law OF the state. How ut
terly selfish and cruel it is in such men,
then, who seek to drive into bank
ruptcy those people who have realty in
excess of the requirements of the home
stead law and who have borrowed
cheap money, or who must borrow
money or become bankrupt. Men who
cannot borrow money seek to prevent
those who can from doing so. Is this
patriotism or communism? 1t is GER
tainly very large sized dog in the

THE howl about British money is I'M
worthy of the intelligence of the peo-
pie. British money is as good as any
other, it is cheaper than Texas

difference between English money
at a low rate OF interest to people who
need the money, and alien landlordism.
