That Wonderful '.IdmbIess" Cotton

Ihat WOndeFtul 'I1mbleSs' OottOh'
From time to time for about year there
have appeared in certain public prints
most sensational and hattering articles
descriptive of an alleged new kind of cot
ton plant, called 'limbless" in the articles
and credited with most wonderful achve-
ments. 1t was claimed that the stalks
grew to be from 10 TO "A feet high, with
out limbs, but from the stalks sprang great
numbers of bolls which bore the finest cot
ton staple in the world, long, silky and
strong, perfectly white and having a satin
like touch. 1t was further alleged that the
new variety was the most prolific in the
world, producing four to six bales of lint
to the acre with no more than the ordin
airy fertilization and the average cultiva
ton. Last spring it was announced in
some of these articles that the Georgia
experiment station had secured seed for
an experimental patch of four acres, and
that the director expected to harvest TWEEN
ty bales from the four acres.
Coupled with all this fulsome laudation
of the wonderful limbless cotton was
statement of the prices at which seed
in the cocoanut be accounted for. Nat
urally the cotton planters would greatly
desire seed that would give such wonder
full results, so the price was run up until
it reached the sum of $l,sOO per bushel!
Later. however, the price dropped to 500
per bushel,
1t is fact that the Georgia experiment
4 of no Of
unquestioned purity, and planted four
acres with them. The harvest has now
progressed far enough for the director to
Judge of the merits of the ''limbess" cot
ton. In a bulletin just issued from the
station the director makes it plain that
those farmers who have been paying fancy
prices for the seed under the suppositlon
that they were getting something extra
ordinary, have simply been buncoed. The
'limbless" cotton was put into competi-
ton at the experimental station with
twenty other varieties, all under sim
liar conditions and all highly fortified
and carefully cultivated, and in the mat
ter of yield, the 'limbless" wonder stands
tenth There are at least nine other old
prolific and produce staple in every par
tcular as good as that of the alleged mag
zeal variety The director Furthermore,
recognized the so-called new variety as an
old variety known in Georgia ten years
or more ago as "Welborn's Pet" which
never amounted to much. So far from
this wonderland cotton producing four to
six bales to the acre, as was claimed for
it, the director of the experiment station
says the person who plants IL will be lucky
If he gets more than one bale from it,
after ferulizing 1t very highly and giving
it the most careful cultivation Further
more, il Is not even limbless, but ordinar-
lily grows five to six long branches, begin
ming at the ground. So far from the seed
being worth even 500 per bushel, Direc-
tor Redding says that seed which will
grow identIcally the same variety can be
had for probably less than 81 per bushel.
II is to be hoped that very few Georgia
farmers have bitten at the glittering bait

1t Is announced that the city of Pitts
burg proposes to erect in the center of the
Ohio river channel, a short distance below
the junction of the Monongahela and Allie
gheny rivers, a prodigeous monument to.
Tubal Cain, the first cunning artlficer in
brass and iron. The monument is to typify
the ascendency of the Pittsburg district
in metal working. In general scope it is
to be somewhat after the order of the
statue of Liberty in New York harbor, ex-
cept that it is to be ever so much larger
and more imposing. 1t Is to be lighted with
electricity, and will serve as a gigantic
beacon at night to craft on the river as
well as an astonisher by both day and
night, to all people who journey within
visionary range of the smoky city.
1t seems that the Pittsburgers might do
better to idealize the iron business by set
ting up a statue of Vulcan or some other
NEUROLOGICAL character, which would an
swer the purpose. Or still better, the eff
forts Of some modern inventor-the man
who made the steam hammer or the man
who made the blast furnace, or the one
who built the locomotive, might be recog-
nized and commemorated in the proposed
combination light house and statue. AS
a matter of fact, Tubal Cain is al
most too far removed from the Allegheny
valley and the Bessemer and Siemens pro-
cesses to make the erection of monument
to him in Pittsburg strictly in keeping
with the fitness of things. Liberty, in New
York harbor, is an ideal figure represent
date; Tubal Cain in Pittsburg would rep
resent an individuality several thousand
years behind the times, and not even po-
etc license could bring him down to
nickel-steel armor plate and hundred-ton
steam hammers.
This Pittsburg idea is rather radical
departure in the way of commemorative
art. Biblical subjects are very infre-
quently selected for heroic statues Even
the great ancestor of the human race is
without a monument, or so much as a
grave stone. Indeed, it transpired some
years ago that one of his true-hearted and
admirng descendants, Familiarity known
as Mark Twain, had some difficulty in To-
eating his grave; but he did locate 1t, and
wept salt tears for the fate of Adam, the
earthly father of us all. If Pittsburg sets
the pace by selecting a Biblical subject
and erecting a monument to Tubal Cain,
will 1t fall to the lot of Chicago to follow
the lead and erect on the lake front a no
BILE monument to Adam, the first annexer,
the first census aker and the primogeni-
tor of populations?
And then there is another matter which
the projectors of the monument should
take under consideration. Setting Tubal
Cain upon a pedestal to overlook the great
iron city might arouse resentment, reopen
the A. p. A. controversy and otherwise
cause trouble. Tubal Cain was one of the
founders of Free Masonry, and holds a
place of high esteem in the modern craft
