EDITOR JoURNAL.-Reading about the

the JOURNAL attend, carries me back to
my boyhood days spent in the noun
tains of northeast Georgia. The even

COST OF RAISING COTTON.

Under the supervision of Stats
tician Hyde of the Department of
Agriculture the cost of growing
cotton has been investigated, and
the results of the investigation are
to be published within a few days
in a pamphlet. This repOr5 will
show that the average cost of pro-
dncing on acre of upland cotton in
1889 was $15.42, subdivided into
the following items: Rent. $2.89;
piowing, $2.81; seed, 21c; plant
ing seed, 2Sc; fertilizers. $1.30;
distributing fertilizers, Ice; chop
ping and hoeing, $1.31; picking,
So. 80; ginning and pressing,$l .0S;
bagging and ties, sic; marketing,
64c; repairing implements, 40c;
all other expenses, 41c.
1t was ascertained that the
pounds OF INT produced per acre
were 235.6, sold for 6.7c per
pound: bushels of seed produced,
1G; price per bushel, l1.9c. The
total return to the planter on the
average was $l9.03, which gave
him a net profit of $3.61 per acre.
The cost of picking cotton per 100
pounds was 44c, while the cost of
producing lint per pound was
.6.27c.
Several thousand cotton planters
contributed to these statistics, and
of the entire number reporting 20
per cent reported a loss, largely
due to deficient production, owing
to drouth or other causes.

was greatly distressed and cried out

On the third day after this, to the
amazement of Stokes and others, the
patient was still breathing. On the
morning of the fourth day he was alive
and conscious, and on entering the
ward Stokes saw him holding in his
hand the certificate which required sig

81 noticed couple of "reminiscences
as to my old branch of service - said
an exnaval official TO the writer.
(which reminded me of an incident in
my own career. l was an assistant en-
gineer on a cruiser bound from Norfolk
to South American ports, and our ship
was telling off IA or ID knots an hour
one day, when a crank pin came out,
and the next instant the crank was
thrashing around in a most recklessly
unsystematic fashion. Everybody in the
engine room-and there were some men
of considerable rank there Just then, as
it happened-made dash for the deck.
Meanwhile l quietly took four or five
steps and shut off the steam. OF course
the engines stopped, and then followed
the delay caused by making the neces-
sary repairs.
1T didn t occur to me that had per-
formed any act of an especial character
until the chief engineer informed me
that l was "A confounded fool Don t
you know your place under sUch cir
cumstances, sir?' he asked. and when
answered that l thought / had taken

sir; your duty was to make your way
as soon as possible to the deck With
that piece of steel whirling and crash
ing about it was one chance in thou
sand that a single soul would escape an

thing had carried away the steam con-
nections your life would have ended
