she saw him grinning at her from a
front row in company with a compatriot

curiously how he liked the performance.
He said he liked il very much.

manded.

Plack,a Proposition Accented.

Mai Black was satisfied, of course. that
his proposition to hold another election in
the Tenth district on or after March 4
would be accepted by Mr.. Watson. Mr..
Watson has nothing 20 lose Maj. Black

not be a very great risk. sun, he cannot

every ore OF their voters 10 the polls A
ere1t many Of the democrats may take
the ground that they elected Mai Black
once and that he can hardly expect them
TO give him another day Of their time.
However. Mai. Blacks course shows that
he does not want the Office If there IS any
doubt as TO whether or not he was fairly
elected. and his willingness to again sub
INIT the matter to the people will increase
the esteem in which he is held by all fair
minded men.
While it is true that MT Watson would
have contested his right to the seat, there
is no good reason for supposing that the
contest would have been successful. 1t is
asserted that in the counties which gave
Mr.. Watson majorities there was 8 great
deal Of Illegal voting The Illegal votes
said to have been east for Maj. Black
would have been offset. in all probability,
by those cast for Mr.. Watson
In some quarters there is an impression
that the next House. being republican
would have favored Mr.. Watson. Is there
good reason for this impression? We
think not. When Mr., Watson was in con-
gress he was not popular with either re-
pubiicans or democrats, and the chances
are the republicans would rather have
Maj. Black than Mr.. Watson as an asso-

The NutErass Pest,

Sometime ago, when there appeared to
be likelihood that congress would make
an appropriation for The determination
of the Russian thistle in the west.
the attention of the agricultural depart
ment was called by southern farmers
to the fact that the south was annoyed
by a vegetable pest that needed to be
given attention, If the government was
going into the business Of wedding out
peoples farms. The nutgrass, or coca,
was referred to. The government con-
cluded that it would not engage in weed
killing just at present; nevertheless the
agricultural department gave each mat
ter attention, for the purpose of aiding
the farmers all it could in clearing their
farms Of the pests. A few days ago
a bulletin on the Russian thistle was
issued, and this is to be followed by a
bulletin on the nutgrass, describing its
characteristics and telling how ii may
he got rid of.
Nutgrass, according to the department. 8
experts, is not a grass at all, but a sedge.
1t has many local names, and is common
III LllG NIolG Spuln. II GALenQS from
Texas to Illinois, and from Florida to
New Jersey. The plan of campaign to
destroy it is simply to prevent it from ma
turing seed above ground. The nuisance
reproduces itself from both the nut and
the seed, but thousand times more from
the seed. Destroy the seed and the nuts
lose their fecundity. Hence, to destroy
nutgrass on any land infested with it
the soil should be frequently stirred
during the growing period of summer
so as to stimulate each nut tuber to
sprout and seed. Between midsummer and
frost time the work OF destruction should
be done. No seed stem win develope until
late in the season. When the deveIopine
of the seed stems begin, then the worl;
of chopping them OF should begin also
and every stem should be included in the
destruction
one cause that has enabled the nut
grass to hold it's sway SO long and de-
family in the south is that we have SO
/ few crops that are hoed or plowed in the
fall of the year. This, with the popular
error that the plant propagates from the
nut alone. is said by the department to
/ explain the whole story Of its triumph
/ over the patience. denunciations and blows
/ Of the millions who have made war upon

ReducinR the Cotton orop.

Quite number of people are proposing
plans for reducing the next cotton crop
It is question whether any one Of them
has merit. And it is doubtful if any plan
will be proposed that win command gem
eral approval.
The plan suggested in the memorial to
the legislature. by Mr.. jenkins of Putnam
county. has the approval of many Of the
cotton planters of that county. The plan,
in brief, is that though the commissioner
of agriculture of Georgia the cotton plant
ers of the state shall bind themselves to
plant the coming year only one-third of
their cultivatable land in cotton
1t is quite evident that a vast
number of the cotton planters
would not enter into with any
such agreement. Even if they should
all sign it, and live up to it, what partic-
ular influence would their action have
upon the price of cotton? Not much
more than one-ninth of the cotton crop is
grown in Georgia, and a reduction of two
or three hundred thousand bales in Geor-
gia's crop would reduce the total crop so
little that the price OF cotton would not
be affected materially; and II Georgia
should reduce her crop it wouldn't neces-
sarily follow that there would be a reduc-
/ tion in the total production. Cotton plant
ers in other states, overestimating the ef-
/ feet Of the action of the Georgia planters
would likely increase their acreage
Cotton production must be regulated
wholly by its cost. AS long as cotton car
/ be grown to better advantage than any
other crop the southern planters will give
up the greater part of their plantations tC
it. In some parts of some of the state.
cotton can be grown at a profit at five
cents a pound. In other localities it can
not. Where it cannot be grown at
profit it win soon be abandoned.
Natural laws regulate cotton production
far better than laws made by legislatures
or agreements entered into among tn,
cotton planters themselves.
The cotton growing territory is so i'm
mense that it is practically impossible {,
get any considerable percentage Of III,
cotton planters to agree TO limit the are;
devoted to the culture of cotton. There Il
no use therefore, for the Legislature t,
bother itself about limiting the produc
tion Of cotton.
