DOES FARMING PAY ?
The Answer Depends Largely Upon NJ
and Methods

The Answer Depends Largely Upon Men
and Methods.
In the face of all that has been said
and written in the last year or two
about agricultural depression, high
taxation, debts, mortgages, class legis-
lation, trusts, monopolies, ''it onmes.

tempting criticism even to ask such a
question as this. Still do ask it and

farming pay? say, with equal truth,
it does not. Then there must be more
than one kind of farming. Yes. and
more than one kind of farmers. It is
said there are fewer failures among
farmers. than in any other class of bust
ness men in proportion to the number.
Now, if this is true, does it not follow
as sort of corallary that the average
profit in farming must be at least
equal to the average profit of other

less than ten per cent. of the merchants

these classes must be very small. And

."Potlatch,'

In the original settlements in British
Columbia a peculiar institution occa-
stoned gala times for the red men now
and then. This was the "potlatch. "
a thing to us SO foreign. even in the inn
pulse of which it is begotten, that we
have no word or phrase to give its
meaning. 1t is feast and roerrymak-
ing at the expense of some man who
has earned or saved what he deems con-
siderable. wealth, and who desires to
distribute every iota of it at once in
edibles and drinkables among the peo-
pie OF his tribe or village, He does this
because he aspires to .chieftainship. or
merely for the credit of ''potlatch"-

known to throw away such a sum of
money that their ''potlatch" has been
given in huge shed built for the feast.

FARMER AND PLANTER.
ALL COTTON FARMING.

Fhs silent influence of Empty Pocket
Books that Will Prompt More Diversified
Farming In the south.
The low price of the feecy staple nat
irally brings up the subject of diversi-
fed farming in the cotton states. This
is not new. 1t is agitated whenever the
price gets down to or below the cost of
production, and is forgotten as soon as
it rises few points above. This is his
tory. The fact is that every cotton
planter is not in like position. The
true home of the plant seems to be the
rich, alluvial lands along the river
and sea coast But it will thrive also
on the uplands bordering such lands,
and even extends into some of
the limestone lands in Tennessee.
The lowland planter will answer
when you advise him to Diversity his
crops, that his land is adapted to cotton
and not to any other crop. He thinks the
upland planter should first stop raising
cotton and devote his land to other
crops to which they are as well adapted
This seems quite reasohable'and is no
doubt acted upon along the line where
cotton at or eight cents proves to be
Improbable. Production is a pendu-
lum that swings to and fro over the line
of profitable culture of cotton. just
now it swings too far toward extend
ed cultivation and the regulator,
price, will cause it's return. 1t is sell
dom that agitation of the question
accomplishes its purpose. We call
to mind the efforts of the organized
hurley tobacco growers to limit plant
ing a few years ago. A few conscien-
tiously signed an agreement to limit
their acreage. More took part in the
agitation, but made preparations for
enlarging their area of planting. But
the majority, perhaps, looked on, de-
termined, if there was really going
to be much of that "foolishness," to
double their crops, If possible. This
would no doubt be about the
result should cotton-planters or
ganize for the purpose of reduc-
ing acreage. There is silent in
fuence in empty pocket-books that
will cut off more acres than all the
noise of organized effort. Let farmers
once know that present rates are un-
remunerative and they will quit-be-
ginning where the lands are the least
adapted to its growth and best suited
to other crops and to live stock raising.
1t would be unreasonable to ask the
lowland planter to give up or even cur
tail his crop when his land and labor
could not be turned to other
crops. His neighbor. on the up
lands. could profitably grow grain,
grass and raise live stock, all
of which would be readily purchased by
the cotton planter. In this way enough
of the staple for commercial wants
would be grown, and the border farm
ers, if the term is admissible, would be
the richer from the better prices OBJ
tanned for their grain, hay and meat, all
of which would find home market.
This will be the result, no doubt, of
present low range of prices, and it will
come from the silent influence rather
than from agitation of the subject

THE KELLY HOMICIDE CASE.
Justice McComss Refuse. to Admit the Ac
cused to Bail.

Justice McComas Refuses to Admit the Ac-
cused to Bail.
In the Criminal Court. Justice McComas. this
morning the case Of John A. Kelly, charged
with causing the death Of his wife. Honora
Kelly, by negligence on the 18th inst. was called
up by Mr.. c. Maurice Smith, who asked that
bail be fixed. Mrs. Kelly's death was caused by
burning at her home on It'll street above L
street when the accused was drunk. Mr.. Smith
claimed that the offense at most was man
slaughter and tesd the coroner's notes. Mr.
Smith said that the truth was both parties were
drunk.
Mr.. Clagett said the theory of the govern
ment was that she was struck on the head by a
lighted lamp.
MIR. Smith denied that such was the case and
read from DR.. Schaffer's testimony that be
found no wounds on the person Of the deceased.
He proceeded to argue that there was no proof
of malice. that the defendant and wife had both
been drinking and the basis OF the whole charge
was the result of drink and the failure of the
defendant to go to her assistance when she wac
burning.
Mr.. Clagett said he expected that the grand
jury would find a presentment for murder, and
Justice McComas said that there were circum-
stances in the care which rendered il proper
that a careful investigation be made. and as be
is assured the grand jury will take up the case
in ten days he would not at this time grant the
motion.

Son Sent To Jail.
Judge Miller's announcement last week that
he had imposed the last fne in . policy case
and that hereafter the violators Of that Law
would have to so to Jail did not affect the bust

policy shop at No. Ills LIST street southwest
Dave, according to the information gained BY
the police, was writing two eco books every day,
the commissions on which amounted 10 IS
There was no other employment that he could
get that would bring him in that much
money and so the fear Of home in Jail for the
winter did not brighten him. He bad Q shop IN
bis mothers house and many colored persons
in that neighborhood called twice a dsy and
made their PLAYS. Saturday afternoon the shop
was open and Dave was rakiug in the pennies,
nickels and dimes, when q squad OF poiicemen
led by officer Williams. appeared. and then
there was a surprise party. There q

unable to get any further than the doors OF

Dave and his mother. Martha johnson. were
arrested as principals, the former FOR writing
and the latter for permitting the violation OF
law to be carried on IN her house.
This morning the mother and son were taken
to the Police Court, but the mother was re-
leased, because there no charge entered
against her by the attorney.
Lawyer Hewlett appeared for Dave and said
he would plead guilty.
In entering plea Of guilty" said the law

the judge asked the prisoner.

For whom were you writing?"
For myself"
The prisoner then explained that he col
lected the money and then wen; across to Nir-
glnia and made the plays on the policy firm.
He said that he had not been employed by the
policy people, but he also said that he was paid
commission by the policy firm.
Judge Miller said be had been waiting &c
