FERTILIZERS FOR COTTON.


To the Editor:
expect to plant about four or five
acres in cotton; it is old land which has
been SUBSIDIZED and is very stiG and heavy.
1t has been in corn for four consecutive
years, is black pine land with clay foun-
dation. Now, | want TO know, what
kind aud quantity of fertilizers are best
Tor II. 1 would propose this: Equal
parts of supherphospate and cotton seed
meal put in each furrow (say two hun.
dred pounds to each acre. and bed on
that and plant; then second working
put, say, one hundred pounds more 10
the acre. expect to plant what we call
here the "Coen or Big Ball" cotton,

The effect of spraying apple trees with

cooling moth or apple worm is we'll H.
lustrsted by the experience of Lupton, of
Virginia, as stated in recent issue of
Insect Lifo. Tho work of spraying was
undertaken in Mr.. Lupton's orchard, but
was discontinued when less than one
third of the trees had been SPRAYED.
From these trees 1 900 barrels of apples
nearly free from worms were gathered.
while from the remaining two thirds of
the orchard only 833 barrels of sound
fruit were obtained, quite one fifth of the
apples from the unsprayed trees being
wormy and unfit for use Mr.. Lupton
estimates that his returns from the or.
chard would have been increa led $2,5O0
had all the trees been sprayed.

THE ANTEOPTfON BILL.

The passage of the Anti-Option bill by the
House does indeed justify the strong and con-
centrated opposition which the officers of vari-
Gus commercial boards call upon the public TO
make. But it should he distinctly understood
At the outset that this opposition is justified
by the peculiar and indeiensibc provisions of
this particular BILL and not by the mere effort
To check purely gambling operations in prod

encouraged by the commercial boards. 1t is
the fayorite theory of the managers and the
more influential members of these boards that

Of the legitimate trading which they provide
for must depend upon the continuance of gam
bling operations in products But this is not

The provisions Of the measure that haS
nassed the House, "a has repeatedly Deeh
shown. are highly Objectionable. The KIND OF
surveillance over business transactions lo'
which the bill provides would be a serious en-

mate business even more than purely specu-
lative operations, and would therefore 90 ser,-

whether the same provisions would he erica
cous for the suppression OF purely gampiins
oparations so that the measure would he lihei!
70 fail in the one object which justities its con-
sidcration. Its great difficulty is that the meas
uro fails TO distinguish cffcctually between
legitimate sales of products by their actual
owners for future delivery, and the purely
gambling sales of the same products by per-
sons who are not owners Of them. This dis
tinction is not SO defined in the bill that the
measure could be enforced at all without
o,eat disturbance of business. In consequence
il would happen that at many points the meas
IRE would not be enforced at all, in order 10
avoid tbe disturbance of legitimate trade. AT
the same time, it would be sufficiently en-
forced Mt other times to cause serious us
tuubance of business. 1t may be granted that
il is extremely hard to define this distinction
in the law so effectuay as to govern the efforts
made for its enforcement. Yet it is the. dut!
of the lawmaking body to so define the chaf-
actcr of sales which it is intended to prevent
and to make the definition practicable IN en-
foroemcnt if legislation of this character is to
he attempted at all.
Legitimate sales for future delivery have be-
come n necessity of modern commerce. by
this it is meant that sales OF products by those
who do actually own them cannot be safely
restricted Any attempt to conhne such sales
to the original producers of the products IN
question would operate most fatally to the
producers themselves because it would pre-
vent capitalists from taking any risks what
ever toward the close of a crop years IN carry
ing over that portion of the crop which may
appcar TO be in excess OF the years cOnsump-
ton. In consequence the actual producers
would be obliged to carry over the stuff them
selves. or to throw it upon the market at a
great loss. Moreover, the dependence Of great
industries upon the supply of such products
renders it essential that manufacturers should
be- able 70 contract in advance for delivery of
the materials they require. Any measure de-
signed 10 check merely speculative sales which
does not efficiently distinguish between these
and the sales Of products by actual owners
must be condemned as harmful TO the public
interest.

TIE HILL WITHDRI VAL.

Ii does not make much difference 50 far As
results are concerned whether Senator Hill
has as "The New-l ork Times says on the
strength of a dispatch from Troy, written a
letter of withdrawal or not. Our contcmpo-
,ary undoubtedly believes its information 10 be
correct, though il neglectS to give its authority.
Judging from Senator Hills antocodentS and
his habits, we should say it was somewhat
doubtful. Mr.. Hill is "A good deal of tacti-
clan, but it never has been any part of his
tactics to eliminate himself from political
contest No man has had more opportunities

have been sorely tempted, but ne has nobly

Several prominent persons might be named
who, having heretofore waited with some
anxiety for a letter of withdrawal from him
which never came, will read the report that he
has done it in this instance with considerable
incredulity. There's man in the interior by

The nomination of Mr. Whiielaw Reid for
Vicc-presdent completed the work Of the
convention. On this subject it becomes TIE
TRIBUNE to speak briefly and simply. The
distinction was not sought, and cannot insure
a more Jealous and loyal support OF the Ecpub-
ican ticket by TIE TRIBUNE than it would
have given to any candidates whom this con-
vention could have chosen. The nomination
of Mr. Reid does, however, impose upon this
journal special obligations of courtesy and fair
ness and patriotism which it will cndeavor so
to discharge as to deserve the approval of
friends and the respect of opponents.

In view of the number and variety OF con-
LESSONS made by Michael Sliney, who is on
trial for the murder of Robert Lyons. the jury
will no doubt agree with Superintendent Byrnes
in the opinion which he expressed on the wit
ness-stand that no statement made by the
prisoner can now be believed. There is little
doubt that Slincy killed Lyons, though his
motive in doing so is not obvious. His own
assertion that he acted in self dcfence must be
ACCEPTED with several grains of allowance.
