Evil Common Among the Roustabouta
and Is Spreading Fast.
The troubles which steamboat men
have been having with their negro
roustabouts have been increased by the
spread of the cocoaine habit among the
negroes. When the cocoaine habit
found its way among the negroes it Is
impossible to say, but is now the favor
lite mode by which they seek forgetful-
ness. 1t is as yet confined to the city
negroes, but some of the planters have
expressed the hope that the use of the
drug be broken up in New Orleans be-
fore it reaches the cotton plantations.
Whisky is bad enough, they say, but
traffic in 1t can be controlled far more
easily than the purchase and sale of
cocaine tablets.
The tablets are composed of cocaine
and phenacetine in about equal proper
tions. Some chemical genius discover
ed that phenacetine prolongs the ef-
fects Of cocaine, and, as 1t is a much
cheaper drug, it is used as an adulter-
ant for the cocaine. When a negro

Fertilizing for Corn.


Crops of corn have been reported ex-
ceeding 100 bushels of shelled corn per
acre, II we remember correctly, but we
do not believe that any man can grow
corn profitably IL he tries to grow one
hundred bushels Of ears to the acre.
unless he is unusually favored by the
season, and we doubt If he would sue
ceed one year in ten. The strongest
and richest land on the farm is not
good corn land. Corn needs a warm
soil and a warm season. and while
dry season lessons production because
there Is not moisture enough to perfect
the crop, a wet season does the same
thing because there is not enough heat
to make rapid growth. Heavy manur
ing makes a rank growth of leaf and
stalk, and that keeps the ground SO
cool by shading it that ears do not de-
velop. and possibly the dense foliage
also prevents pollen from the tassel
from reaching the silk as it falls. We
think the man who wants 100 bushels
of shelled corn can grow ~ 1t on three
acres with less labor and fertilizer
than he can on one, and be more
sure Of 1t in an ordinary season, while
possibly a favorable season may in
crease his crop to $50 bushels on the
three acres, but would not be apt to do
so on one acre. There are crops In
which the yield can be much increased
by extra fertility and extra labor on a
small plot, but not the corn crop, un-
less some new variety is found
