SOME INTENSIVE FARMING.
What Alfred Taylor Accomplish
ed on His Twenty-Five Acres.

The following letter from Alfred
Taylor, Of TaylOr'S station, received
by Hon. NJ. l.. DoDaldson in reference
to his yield of corn on twenty-five or
thirty acres, shows what intensive far
ming can accomplish:
81 thought you would be Interested
to know how my corn turned out, in
fact think promised to ltt you hear
from me. IA square yards of the best
made 262 pounds, about l25 bushels
per acre; taking the whole on an aver
age 20 or 30 acres it made 5O5 pounds
per acre, about 7l1a bushels per acre.
We weighed it after shucking it. 1t
would not weigh as much after it got
thoroughly dry. 1t is certainly as fine
and as well developed corn as eyer
saw.-The Daily Times.

COM MiSSIONERS MEET.
Convention Was Called to Order
by Commissioner Stevens.

Atlanta, Oct. 24.-W hen the c0nven-
tion of commissioners of agriculture
of the southern states was called to
order this morning Louisiana, North
Carolina, Arkansas, Alabama, Mississ-
ippI, Georgia and Texas responded.
Commissioners Atkinson. of West Vir-
gina, and Koina, of Virginia, are ex-
pected during the day.
The gathering was presided over
temporarily by Commissioner Stevens,
OF Georgia, who called the convention
to meet here. its objects are to dis
cuss the cotton situation and to at
tempt to bring about legislation which
will be beneficial to farmers and to
effect plan for more uniform class
ification.
Governor Chandler, of Georgia, was
introduced and welcomed the dele
gates on behalf Of the State. He spoke
of the condition Of the farmers of the
south and said that Georgia farmers
will welcome movement along the
line that the convention proposes to
fact that there had been no prosperity
among the farmers since 1898. Wheth-
er this, he SAID, was due to federal leg
islation or the failure Of crops the fact
remains that the farmers have not
prospered.
Mayor Woodward, of Atlanta, well
coined the commissioners on behalf OF
the city. The addresses of welcome
were responded to by Commissioner
Leon Jastrenski, of Louisiana, who
represented Governor Foster and the
agricultural department of the State.
He said that the convention should
pass resolutions looking toward the
preventing Of business disturbances
which arise every year over the wild
and unreliable estimates published
from time to time regarding the cot
ton crop.
A temporary organization was effec-
ted by the election of Commissioner
Jastrenski as chairman and Royal
Daniel, of Georgia, as secretary. The
convention adjourned until 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning.

DISPATCHES DOCTORED
BY Field MARSHAL.
Affair Near Ladysmith Was Quite
Serious Fight.
DECISIVE BATTLE HOURLY
EXPECTED.
JOubert Believed to BE Pressing
on Ladysmith.

London, Oct. 26.-With uncon-
scious humor, a Cape Town cor
respondent telegrsphed yester-
day: "The censorship, which is
.alway s delicate matter, is work
ing smoothly and without a
hitch"
This exactly hits off the state of
affairs today. An omlnous veil
is still drawn over the movements
of Gen. Sir George Stewart White
and Gen. Yule. Beyond belated
Ladysmith dispatches concerning
the Elandslaagte fight which are
still filtering in, the British pub
lie is left in complete darkness
and to conjecture over cooked"
war office dispatches. The Off
cials of the war office last evening
said that very few dispatches have
arrived and that nothing further
was to be expected until morn
ing.
Since it is practically certain
that Gen. Yule has now effected
q junction with Gen. White
although this was not brought
about Tuesday night, as announ-
ced by The Daily Mail, but some
time Wednesday-and as both
are now in a position Of safety,
conjecture concerns itself chiefly
with the manner of Gen. Yule's
retreat. That it was hasty is
evident. Was it orderlyg Was
any considerable camp equipment
abandoned? Was there any fight.
ing on the way9 Such questions
and Others like them the public
are anxiously asking. Since the
receipt of Gen. Whites curious
first description of the Ladysmlth
fight, in which the British lost 100
men, little reliance can be placed
on the official dispatches. While
the cOncealment of the facts re-
garding Gen. Yule's retreat can
be amply justified on the ground
OF keeping the intelligence from
the Bosrs, the hiding of thh news
respecting the Hussars and Fus.
lliers, who were apparently cap
tured in the battle of Glencoe, Is
severely criticised, no intimation
having been given that the off |.
GERS were missing.
The heavy losses of the British
troops in facing only some 5000
Beers are commented upon as
showing what rifle fire means to-
day in the hands of even undisci-
plined men who can shoot fairly
straight and stand their ground.

The situation in the west is bec0m-
ing complicated. The Boer proclama-
tions of anneXing and the claims of
victory at Glencoe are likely to in
duce the Dutch to side with their
countrymen already in the field. 1T is
said, for instance, that the Boer forces
have evacuated Vryburg, which it is
added, will be garrisoned by the local
Dutch, among whom are prominent
Bundites and government employees.
1t is also believed that tn Dutch be-

and the indications are that some
troops haye already arrived at
the front and been in the fight
Ing, whose arrival has not yet
been announced. There is every
possibility, therefore, that reen
forcements are moving up. This
Is calculated to hasten Command
ant Gen. Joubert's attack on La

Amount half a complete army

Although news has arrived that
Gen. Sir William Penn Symons
is doing we'll, there is no indica.
tion of his whereabouts. tits pre-
sumed that he is at Dundee IN
the hands of the Beers.
The commander in chief, Field
Marshal Lord Wolseley, has ap.
parently been convicted of "doc
toring" official reports from the
front, and there is a strenuous
demand on all sides for a rever-
sion to the earlier practice, when
the reports of Gen. Sir George
Stewart White, the British com
mander in Natal, were given out
textually as soon as received.
The commander-in-chief's sum.
mary read In the house of com ..
mons yesterday spoke of Gen.
White having fought a successful
action, whereas Gen. Whites own
account puts an entirely different
complexion on the situation and
reduces the movement to it's
proper proportions and shows
that further exciting intelligence
may be expected from the same
quarter at any moment.
1t is quite evident that the war
in Natal has only commenced,
and that the Beers are by no
means discouraged at losing the
first two battles. and many ex.
perts are satls fed Gen. Jopbe
Is even now close to the heels of
the British and that decisive &C
ton may be fought today or to-
morrow.
Later estimates of the Boer
losses at Elandslaagte give 800
killed. Their GOODNESS, bravery
and good aim can be judged from
the fact that out of the II or Is
officers with the half battalion
of Gordon Highlanders, four
were killed and 13 waunded
while the casualties among the
rank and file were 81 per cent.
during less than three hours
fighting. Lieut.. Campbell, Of the
Gordon Highlanders, has since
died from his wounds.
A dispatch from Capetown to-
day says that Gen. White has en-.
gagged the Orange Free State Bo.
ers who were advancing on Lady
smith, about seven miles north
ward and that it was believed the
advance had been repealed. This
Is probably another version of
yesterdays fighting already
known.
