to indicate that it has already enforced the
advantages of such course. 1t has dwelt
particularly "on the well-known memoirs
OF MacGreSor, formerly chief of the staff of

that the RUSSIAN possession of Herat would

Some very nice people from the states
thought they We're coming to the banks of
the Congo, where the breech ciout and the
bead necklace were the only kind of store
clothes worn by the inhabitants. Their
ingenious confessions of surprise on learn
ing that Havana and it's Inhabitants had
not only the rudiments. but also some OF
the refinements of civilization were less
entertaining to the natives than to their
own countrymen and countrywomen But
having confessed their surprise, they have
found themselves better footing
with the people. The theaters have been
one means of informing them. The inte-
riors of the leading ones in the architectu-
raj features alone would give the idea of
a community that had some notions of cul-
ture. To hear operas which are probably
not heard this season in the United States
outside of the Metropolitan Opera House
in New York is something of a revelation.
To the classics of the Castilian drama
represented by actors and actresses worthy
of their parts is another revelation The
American intellect is not slow. 1t reasons
that these operas and these pays would
not be put on the stage for audiences inca
pable of approaching them So the belief
that a Congo civilization would be en-
countercd in Havana which has been
shaken by experience is the more readily
abandoned after a few nights at the thea
tiers. Yet the American sensibilities do not

The Price of Cotton.

The farmers of Troup county, Ga,
organized themselves into a trust, OBJ
tanned promise of the necessary cash
from bankers, pooled their cotton and
determined to hold it til they could
secure satisfactory price. rhereupon
the Savannah News warns it's readers
that the only way to raise the price of
cotton is to restrict production, that
"the law of supply and demand will
always govern the price," no matter
what the character Of the product.
Let us examine these claims with all
due respect to our contemporary and
to the Georgia farmers.
The plan proposed by the Morning
News is unlawful; any agreement of
any number of farmers to restrict the
product for the purpose Of raising
prices is to inaugurate corner, which
is forbidden by law advocated by
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1899-09-27

harbOr moisture and make it almost
impossible to keep them through the
rainy season. On the other hand, a
soil containing a due admiXture of
sand will produce onions of a beauti
full regularity, every one as round as
a dollars firm, heavy in the hand, and
with skin as smooth and glossy as
if polished. These can be kept
through our trying Florida summer,
in the right kind of place, with little
loss.
Fertilizer.-The onion is heavy
feeder. and delights in a rich soil or
these to produce a paying crop. Tut
there is no staple which is more in

velop a firm crisp flesh and an agree
able fiavor-an onion which will resist
decay. Ashes and SCOT are beneficial;
charcoal, dust or sand is an excellent
application, if the soil is anyWlSe tC-
nacious or inclined to run together"
Common salt, at the rate of six or
eight bushels per acre, is very bene-
fetal to this class of plants. There are
specia! onion brands made by several
of the reputable dealers in chemical

Whv the Farm is Unpopular.

The decadence of the industry of the
farm, the rush Of farmers boys to 9TH
.er pursuits, demands careful thought
Farming was once the supremely res
pectable avOcation. To be farmer
was to be a gentleman. The towns
man was but a mere shOp-keeper, a
counter-jumper, who stood ready to
carry his goods to the curbstOne for in
spection when the farmers wife and
daughter drove in from their country
residence. Now they are the last to
be waited upon and even then with
only such politeness as will retain their
custom. They are contemptuously re-
ferred to as socially an inferior class.

those who pleaded that it was in the
interest of the agriculturists. Certain
ly it is going far to assume that the
only cure of an admitted evil is short
crops; but is the statute bad one and
opposed to the interests of consumers?
We cannot think so.
Does not plain experience in the laws
Of business show that the rule quoted
by our contemporary has no applica-
ton to the matter in hand? Undoubt-
eddy the law of supply and demand
regulates the prices, but the effect of
that law to the Southern planter is
changed completely if he will exercise
the plainest possible common sense.
When corn is unstable, the thrifty
Western farmer feeds it to his hogs
and makes money on his meat; when
the Jerseyman cannot sell his apples he
converts them into milk. A Duval
county farmer found that he could not
upon he hired Cuban, turned the leaf
into cigars, and says he made money
over and above securing the sale of
his crop at his own price. This is
business.
The farmers of Georgia are foolish
when they think they can so handle
the crop of one county as to affect the
price in Liverpool. The Savannah
Morning News states a broad principle
so as to mislead when it says the
planter must shorten his crop to in
crease his profits. The farmers of
TrOup county evidently have means or
credit when they can secure the aid of
bankers for their scheme of holding
their cotton; why could they not take
stock in cotton factory and change
their raw material into cloth? They
declare there can be no such thing as
OverprOductiOn of cotton while men
are naked and ragged; but not even
savages can wear raw cotton. There
can be no OverprOductiOn of cotton
cloth if the markets Of the world are
open to us, but the farmer may lack

THE LETTUCE CROP.

The size the lettuce will probably be
when headed up regulates the distance
apart for the plants. The rows a foot
apart and from seven to ten inches be-
tween the plants is a very good aver
age. Up till Christmas lettuce grows
out, and the cold frame is not rescrted
to until late in December. A wall,
house, hedge or any such protective
side where the lettuce grows in fall
and winter. The kind the New Or
leans gardeners use for fall, winter
and early spring is the New Orleans
Improved Passion, introduced from
California. 1t does not endure the sum-
mers here SOWn in September the
plants come on, and head up firmly
ready for use in October and on till
March. Trocadera is lettuce of similar
winter growing qualities, introduced
from France, but the leaves are thin
and tender so that it is better for i'm
mediate use than for shipping.
Varieties most popular variety
in the State of Louisiana is the I'M
proved Royal Cabbage. 1t is the best
kind to plant in succession. When the
Improved Passion and Trocadera have
been used up, the Royal will be ready
for use. Sow the seeds early and
give it good chance to supply the
market from March to last of June.
The heads are large, firm and crisp
and of a beautiful light green. Thi
kind is not inclined to run to seed like
some Others White Paris Cos is very
popular with the French people OF
New Orleans. 1t heads up in tall, OBJ
long heads, and the leaves are
better tied together with a fiat, soft
strip to whiten as they head. Being
long. the mid-rib is said to be like eel
ery. crisp, white and tender. AS
rule tough, large mid-rib condemns
any kind of lettuce, but this kind is
tender and delicious in flavor.
From June until fall, the Perpig-
nan, fine German variety, supplies
the market. It stands the summer bet
ter than any other variety.
The Early cabbage or White Dutch
is a splendid kind for spring use, and
the Drumhead cabbage for spring and
summer, but they are for home use,
and not for shipping.
Cultivation.-The quality OF the let
