COST OF MAKING COTTON.
Statistics show the Farmer Can
Make About 1891 Per Acre.

Washington, Feb l6.-Under the super
ment of agriculture, the cost of cotton
growing has been investigated and the re-
suits of the investigation are to be pub
lished within a few days in pamphlet.
This report will show that the average
cost of producing an acre of upland cot
ton in 1898 was S1542 sub-divided into the
following items Rents $2SS; blowing
2.Sl; seed, 1921; planting seed $0.2S; fer
tlizers, $l.30; distributing fertilizers, $0.16;
chopping and hoeing, $1.31; picking, 1881;
ginning and pressing, N.02; bagging and
ties, S0.5; marketing, 1864; repairing inn
plements, 500; all other expenses, SOIL
1t was ascertained that the pounds of
lint produced per acre We're 1856, sold for
81 cents per pound; bushels of seed pro-
duced 16, price per bushel 119 cents. The
total return to the planter on the average
was $l9.0S, which gave him a net profit
of 1851 per acre. .f
The cost of picking cotton per 100 pounds
was "A cents, while the cost of producing
the lint per pound was 527 cents.
Several thousand cotton planters con-
tribused 10 these statistics. and of the en-
tire number reporting, 20 per cent. reported
loss, largely due to deficient production,
owing to drought or other causes.
To produce sea island cotton costs 81 .95
per acre, or an average of 11.59 cents per
pound, and the total return for Hot and
seed of sea island cotton was $2S65, which
gives the planter a net profit of 500 per
acre.
The planters that report a profit in the
raising of upland cotton produced 1853
pounds per acre, while those that reported
a loss produced only 176 pounds.
affa - 0f ftfxar In 1..a
raising of cotton is very distinctly dis
closed and the general result is that in
proportion as the quantity of fertilizers
used increased, the profit of raising cotton
per acre also increased
1t has been discovered in this tnvestiga-
ton that cotton Is produced to a limited
extent, but at a high rate of profit by
means of irrigation in Western Texas and
in the southwestern corner of Utah. In
Texas irrigation had the effect of produc-
ing 512.4 pounds of lint per acre, which is
1908 pounds greater than the average for
the whole state.
The work of the department in this in
vestigation covers the cost of cotton pro-
duction as far back as 1922 but the state
ments previous to 1876 are mostly individ-
ual estimates. For 1876 many special in
quiries were made by a former stadsti
clan of the department, and these estab-
lished the cost of producing lint cotton
per pound, in gold, at S.32 cents.
One of the remarkable revela tons of
the investigation is the comparative cost
of marketing cotton in 1910 and 1897. The
comparison is itemzed and shows that i'm
1910 it cost $1S.15 TO market a bale of cot
ton from Alabama to Liverpool while in
1897 the cost was $3.50

GETTING At TAX DODGERS.
BrunsWick's Assessors Making q
House to House Canvass

House to House Canvass.
Brunswick, Ga, Feb. ia recent
amendment to the city charter of Bruins
wick requires the tax assessors to include
in their annual report all personal proper
ty OF the citizens of Brunswick. 1t is a
new method of reaching the tax dodgers,
but the general scope and intent of the
measure was not realized by many people
nor the assessors themselves, until they
got 10 work.
Judge Hitch. one Of the assessors. stated
that the people had wrong idea of their
intention. They will make a house to
house canvass, but at every house where
the heads of families have left a statement
of their property the assessors will take
that statement as authentic IL they believe
1t to be correct. They do not intend to
so into every room in the house, but will
rely upon the statements of heads of fam
lilies In places where the family is known
to be reliable. The work now under way
is already bringing good results and two
instances are cited where families have
been discovered that have lived in Bruins
wick five years. and have never paid
cent of taxes or made a return.

CLASH BETWEEN RAILROADS.
Georgia Northern Wants to Shut Out
a Triton Company.

Atlanta, Feb. 16-There is a clash on be-
tween the proposed Triton, Townsville
and Gulf Railroad and the Georgia North
ern Railway Company.
The former has made application for
charter, and the latter has asked for an
amendment TO its charter, which will give
it the right 10 extend to Townsville
Col. j. p. Smith, representing the Geor-
gia Northern, appeared in behalf of his
company at the office of the secretary of
state to-day, but no action was tagen, as
the Triton. Thomasville and Gulf people
want to be heard. The proposed new line
would cut into the territory of the Geor-
gia Northern, and that company has taken
the position that the charter is not asked
Tor in good faith, but to persecute that
company.
Secretary of State Phil Cook was too
unweIl to be at his Office to-day. He went
home sick yesterday, threatened with a Sc
we're attack of grip. Secretary Cook has
had a great deal of sickness in his family
this winter every member being i'll at
one time or another, and now it Is feared
that the strain under which he has been
living is about to break him down.
