several years, but the first years pro-

Another speaker, referring to the
prospects of the cotton trade in Russia
said that while he was in Moscow he
saw many wagons loaded down with
cotton from Turkcstan; that he thought
that in the near future the Russian
empire could supply the full demand of
the metropolis; that the Russians be-

begin exporting cotton goods, and that
the raising of cotton has already
created great activity in all the Trans

'FliE IMPORTANCE OF FOREST.
RY.

Inc present session of the American
Association for The Advancement of
Nclcnco has been discussing Il question
when IN view OF the uncertain seasons
must attract general attention.
Last year, for instance, the Suutb
had short crop of cotton as the con-
sequence Of drouth. This year the
same result will follow an excessive
rainfall. The same conditions are
noted in the East ard tic West, and
their frequently and crratic condition
are found to follow the destruction of
the forests. In speaking before the
| association Secretary Wilson dwclt
upon the fact that the prosperity of The
United States is 50 intimately connect
cd with that which grows out of the
ground that distress Immediately fol-
lows i short crops of amy OF our food
| staples. The calricrS miss dividends,
merchants lose customers, manulactur-
ing ls done at increased cost and the
balance Of trade with foreign countries
is reduced. We have not given suili-
cicmt attention to the growing Of things
in field and forest, nor to the inIlu-
cnccs cXcrtcd upon the field by the
forest. Nothing will arouse our pco-
! pIo to The evils resulting from forest
| destruction but careful experimental
tion conducted by scientific observers
over long periods of time. Heat and
moisture are the most potent factors in
the growth OF vegetation where
moisture Is abundant and heat is under
60 degrees Fahrenheit during the rip.

around 20 degrees and rainfall is below
80 inches annually. This latest condi

GOOD ADVICE.

All over the cotton States cotton
mills are building by the hundred.
North Carolina has now nearly :iOI
cotton factories and is manufacturing
IN much cotton rs she produces. With
one solitary exception the North Caro-
lima mills are using white labor cNclrsi.
Ncly. Every mill means village of
houses for employees, and these en-
ploycS are almost entirely taken
from the farms. They are taken
from food producing To- food con
sumng. 1t is evident, then, that
with renewed ability to purchase,
from getting better wages than they
could on the farms, these cmpluyc,
viii be profitable customers to the
farmers, and will need larger amounts
of food Of all kinds than they can as
yet readily get. While growing the
staple to supply the mills with material
l" manufacture, 1t is the opportunity
ioi the cotton farmer to vary his crop
ping and grow good deal OF the food
supplies the factory villages need. Not
only POTATOES and other vegetables, :,
but beef and mutton and fowls, ami
butter and milk. Every new mill
makes new home markets for good
products, and they will soon be reach
ing out all over the States for better
beef, milk and butter, and the wise
farmer should take advantage of the
conditions in The cotton States
and profit thereby. -Irocticul Kramer.

involved in an attempt to amend the
senate provisions. The managers will ad-
vocate the adoption of n rule which will

proposition and then bring it to vote.

house who has canvassed the situation
says that the proposition will carry by a
substantial majority larger than that by
which the original bill passed the house
