COTTON, ETC.

AS this part of the country is so
admirably adapted to the growth
of cotton, we give the following
Summary" of cotton seed and
it's productes Farmers Bulletin
No. 36,-published at Washington
ID. G., and trust it may be worthy
. a perusal by our readers.
Cotton stands preeminent among
farm crops in the case and cheap
ness of it's production as compare
ed with the variety and value Of it's
products.
The amount of soil fertility
actually removed in crop Of cot
ton, even when both seed and lint
are sold, is smaller than that re-
moved by either corn or oats, AID
when care is taken to return the
seed or an equivalent in meal to
the soil these losses are almost in
significant.
Cotton roots furnish a useful
drug; the stems and leaves togeth-
er have certain value as fodder,
and the stems alone have been
utilized with some success for
fiber and for fuel; but next in i'm
portance to the lint stands the seed,
which furnishes great variety of
valuable products whose applica-
tions are being rapidly extended.
Tie 100000 tons of seed work
ed at the oil mills during the sea-
son of l893-94 could have been
mace to produce under favorable
conditions in round numbers
100000 gallons of crude
oil, worth, at % cents
per gallon, $l6,750,000; 100000
tons OF meal, worth, at $40 per
ton, Sl2,000000; 100000 tons of
hulls, worth, at SIS per ton, 81, $780,
600; besides Iinters to the value of
a million or more dollars.
The oil is the main product of
the seed. The larger portion of
the oil manufactured in this country
is used in the preparation of food
products, principally refined lard
and salad and cooking oils. 1t is
also used in the manufacture of
soaps of various kinds, washing
powder, cosmetics, to some extent
for illuminating purposes, as

Conference did not begin until
Saturday, the 27th of June, SO l
spent the remaining two days in
visiting the Saints and assisting in

Friday night the elders began to

over with zeal for the work of God.

Besides the four regular meetings to
which the public were invited five
or six priesthood meetings were
held, at which each elder reported
his labors and much excellent in
struction was given by Pres. Elias
S. Kimball. He did most of the
preaching on Sunday, at which time
the Spirit of God rested upon him

the effect that within three years we
would have church established on
Cane Creek, in Lewis Co., Tenn. !
where Elders Gibbs and Berry were
martyred some eleven or twelve
years ago, but since which time our
elders have not dared to venture
there.
AS has been said, the public meet

priesthood meetings. On Tuesday

Give More Attention to Manufactures.
A Coalville gentleman visiting
this city writes to his local paper,
the Times, concerning the large
business blocks and buildings in
Salt Lake, and the noticeable alb
sence of manufactures. Then he
advises Coalville, if the town would
succeed and not be burdt ned with
persons who cannot get employ
ment, that its people expend their
money in factories instead of fine
buildings for other purposes, and
wait for the latter until the success
Of the former is assured.
There is no question as to the
soundness of the advice, notwith-
standing the severe comment it
makes upon the policy pursued in
the State capital. Whether or not
the good people of Coalville have
the wisdom to heed it, remains to
be seen. The people of Salt Lake
who could have done so did not,
although it was dinged into their
cars year after year by President
Brigham Young and those asso-
ciated with him and following his
policy of making Utah a manu-
featuring center; and we now see
the result with o sort of despair
ing regret for the past, and
supineness of active interest for
the future in the same line
that is astonishing.
1t is gratifying to note, however,
that there are a few people who
are keeping alive the sacred fame
OF home industry, and though they
may not be wealthy or powerful
now, their acts may be saver of
life to the people in the industrial
crisis that is coming. These
people are scattered throughout
the State, some of them in favored
localities, and others in districts
where work is hampered by lack
OF railway facilities or special
natural advantages. Such people
are to be commended; and among
them we are pleased to note the
silk workers Of st. George, as re-
ferred to in the last issue Of the
Union, as follows:
'The ladies of the silk associa-
ton are getting along nicely in
their endeavor to acquire land on
which to plant mulberry forest.
They meet with discouragements
occasionally, but so far are over
coming all obstacles fairly we'll,
and If they receive the financial
and moral support they need from
the community success will crown
their efforts, and silk works in
st. George will be an accomplish
ed fact"
There is no more favorable
country on the globe, so say ex-
perts, than Utah for silk culture;
aud may the st. George home
industry worke:s obi; in the en-
enlargement that will bring the
success at which they aim

ders it unfit for use in paints. The

Knowledge of the nature and value
of the products Of cotton seed
will extend their use until it will
be found profitable to work up the
available crop Of seed into COM
mercial products instead of utiliz-
ing in this way only about one
third Of the crop, as is now the
case.
Why cannot some of our moneyed
men in southern Utah go to work
and establish factories for manu-
featuring oil from the cotton seed,
and supply our home market?
Then the money would be kept at
home.
There are many other home in
dustries that could be mentioned
which would be benefit to the
community.
But there is one thing sure, if
the people would patronize our III
situations more, it would be an en-
enlargement to capitalists to in
vest and establish new industries
that would be benefit to the peo-
pie.
If the industries already estab-
lished are not property encouraged,
capitalists can see it and dare not
launch out, but when those enter
prises already established are we'll
patronized, we will see new ones
springing up.
For the last few wears there has
not been enough cotton grown in
this vicinity to keep the Rio Vir-
gen Mills, which are located at
Washington, Utah, in constant
operation, and some seasons they
have had to import cotton 80 as to
have enough to work up with their
wool.
We would recommend the far
mers to grow more cotton and
sheepmen to dispose of their wool
at home instead of exporting it,
and IN turn we would like to see
the farmers and sheepmen receive
a fair valuation for their products,
commensurate with other classes
of labor. We do not believe in
mechanics receiving four to eight
dollars per day while farmers re-
ceive from one to two dollars per
day! 1t is. an inequality that
should be adjusted, and that speed
lily. Live and let live is a good
maxim.

An Old Lady Who Claimed to Have a
Large Income.

An old lady giving the name OF Mrs.
Lizzie Hoffman got off of the Omaha
train at the Union depot yesterday
forenoon. She was eighty-tive years
of age, and was able to give no
account Of where she had been or
where she was going. She had no
money, and the depot men supplied
her with a lunch and notified the
police, who turned her over to County
Commissioner Roberts. The latter
ascertained that she was from Sum-
meryille, Wyoming, and was ticketed
to Mankato on her way to sister,
Mary Loop, who lives seven miles
from Faribault. Mr.. Roberts had her
taken to the City Hotel, where she
was we'll cared for and frightened up
considerably.
Mrs. Hoffman said that she had been
widow for thirty-five years, and
had left Crawford county, Penn,
three years ago to go to Wyoming.
She claimed to be an old acquaintance
of the Shaubut family and also OF
Gov. Ramsey. She claimed to have
an income of $3.50 a month, and want
ed to know the amount of her bill.
She was helped on to Faribault this
morning. While she is intelligent,
it is thought that she is trifle of
mentally.

eff )rt was made last fall to incor-

Those who are back of the present
move are confident of success.
A petition for another special cleo
tion to vote on the question of in
corporation was forwarded to the
chairman of the board of county COM
missioners at ST. Peter today. The
county board is required by law to is
sue within ten days after the petition
is received, call for the election, to
be held IN thirty days. Fifteen copies
of the petition have been prepared by
Attorney Geddes for posting.
The present petition bears sixty
signatures. 1t takes in 97S acres, or
400 more than the previous petition.
The line follows the road up the big
hill md takes in everything on the
right OF the St. Peter road, and as far
north as the canal between Mud lake
and the river. The territory has 64S
population, according to special CEN
sus taken the latter part of February.
and it is thought that there are few
more people than this. The popula-
tion Of the territory included in the
old petition was $50 less. The people
living on the hill are opposed to be-
ing included in the corporation, and
the object in taking in that territory
was to have the roads within the
corporation, so they can be improved.
The election will be held the latter
part of April, and will probably be a
close one, as those who favor and op-
pose Incorporation seem TO be about
evenly divided.

date of its enactment until the tariff
bill itself took effect If congress has
the tariff bill under consideration for
