Facts About Cotton Raising.

Some Southern cotton growers are

gAging in the culture of other crops.
This necessity is still further emphasized
by the extension of cotton culture into

cotton growing is making such progress
in Ru sia Trans Caspia that the Russian
spinncrs in Moscow, Lodz and the other
centres will very soon be in position to
discard the American product altogether;
as it is only 8 years since experiments
were inaugurated In this quarter, the
strides made are nothing short of marvel
ous. At the last meeting Of the Mau-
chester Chamber of Commerce, samples
Of cotton were shown which lad been

CAN'T FIND THE RIGHT MAN.
For Assistant Secretary Of Agriculture
"A Good Southern Man Wanted.
New yn:ii;c

WASHINGTON, ID. C.-The President
and S cretary Morton are having diff
iculty in selecting successor to Assis
tant Secretary Willetts, of the Agricul
tural Department, whose resignation has
been accepted to take effect June 3Oth.
There are twenty or more applicants, but
the President, when the matter was
brought to his attention last week, did
not seriously consider more than three
names. Some of the applicants from the
West and North are regarded as being
qualified for the place, but the President,
departing from the custom of his prcde-
ccssors in appointing II Western man,
feels that the South, which has recently
developed 50 much in agriculture, is en-
titled to the place. There arc not so many
"eligibles" from the Southern States, and
consequently it seems probable thst AS
sistant Secretary Willets may be r, ,qucs..
ed to retain his position until suitable
! successor can be determined upon.
